Yep. They came down and did a PowerPoint show for the legislatures and then handed them the written legislation. They tried to cover it up, but it got out for about 10 min. including video talking to the repubes. It disappeared pretty quickly. I'm sure some GQP leader got it off the air.

Then, after all maga heads explode, we can get back to our semi-normal lives.

Never before have rethugs tried to steal one so blatantly. Being scared is a very rational reaction.

The GA state board of elections may refuse to certify elections which Democratic candidates won.

Seriously. They’re already talking about it.

Can you encourage the viruses?

I keep the stickers and put them on a guitar case.

And I don’t fly with that case, though I could by putting a starter pistol into it and getting it certified as a gun case…..which means the case can be locked so no one can smash it the way some redneck asshole smashed Joan Baez’s fifty-plus years ago.

Paul Weyrich noted that rethugs couldn’t win on their tax-only-the-plebs policies in his famous 1980 speech, and it was as vile then as it is now with forty years of hindsight.

One of my neighbors was another Dubious. Someone caught him on their phone while he was at the polls talking about how he wanted only the right people to vote during the 2016 election, and he’s no longer a poll worker. He is VERY butthurt about it still. Fortunately, this is blue California, where sh!t like that gets taken seriously. F@ck him.

Every citizen needs to vote, with a fine if they don’t, a la Australia.

While it doesn’t rule out right wing nuts, it certainly reduces their incidence and blunts their electoral strength.

Perhaps it’s time to make them fear it again.

Oh I know. If there's anything hinky going on with the election it won't be certified. Of course, there really doesn't have to be any evidence, but the idea of it will be enough to keep them certified. Then the shit show starts by going slowly thru the courts in this state.

I sent extra money to Georgia, because I really want it to become a true-blue state: https://www.walkthewalkusa.... https://newgeorgiaproject.org/

I was fairly sleepless during the first week of November, 2020, but to feel this way about a mid-term?! Ridiculous, but understandable.
