Very possible they got a call notifying them the caller was “from Vindows” and that the boys at Vindows had noticed error messages on their computers. Bob (from Bombay?) proved very convincing. So, rather than telling the caller to go fuck himself (or to cram his mouse up his ass), the Georgians proceeded full speed ahead.How the data may have disappeared is very hard to imagine.

Jail. For the next 20 years.

Oh, and decertify the election, and rerun it. USING PAPER BALLOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could be right. There were/are also embedded versions of Windows Server, too, so it's possible they were using something like that.

National Air and Space Museum had an exhibit on the moon race. So they had all these Soviet pics and artifacts and tools and Merkin pics and artifacts and tools. It even had the slide rules for the respective chief engineers.

They each used the same German slide rule.

I hate to break it to you, but you can buy those at Gettysburg.

That is the one case where it just may be heritage, not hate, all things consideredWould still prefer it not be there but eh, the case can be made for history, since it was the actual Army of Northern Virginia in that skirmish.

So great. My very favorite bit is where they lift Kellyanne to take her away and she's still talking. A great laugh, all of it.

But it's vitally important that we have election results within hours of closing the polls! If there was a secure ballot taking as much time as it needed, it would take too long. And you know that that means.

Nothing at all, really.

How ironic is it that Georgia boy Jimmy Carter has done elections monitoring work in other countries?

Very ironic, particularly since after our last election, we were downgraded as a democracy by the organization that keeps track of such things.
