DED PEOPLE VOTE IN GEORGIA!!!! RIGGED!!!! STOLLEN!!!!!

Suzie Greenburg's avatar

Where we count votes we have a reconciliation every 25-50 ballots. We all do the same number of course, it changes depending on how many counters there are on any given election night. Small town, all paper, no scans. I get to math, which is always fun.

Could be totally different elsewhere of course, I just know we do a form of it here.

What this rule is about is counting how many ballots there are and making sure it matches the number of voters. People are freaking out over nothing.

I'm not a religious person, but God bless Jimmy Carter.

Fingers crossed that he sees in the Harris Administration.

Once again, Worst Justice since Taney has sealed his place in history as the Worst Chief Justice of All Time. Thanks to asshole Roberts the citizens of GA don't have the protection of preclearance anymore.

Cleta Mitchell can't fool me; I know she's just five Cletuses fresh from safari in one big trenchcoat.

It's fantastic that Jimmy Carter has voted! We would expect no less from an old patriot like him. Also great to hear that the judge in Georgia has thus far frustrated the efforts of determined fascists in that state to bring the country down via the electoral system. It's a serious threat, what they're doing: the aim is to deny anyone getting to 270 EC votes, thereby throwing the decision to the House, where they would presumably have an advantage. Without sharp-eyed judges like the one mentioned in this article, they might well manage to steal the election legally.

I also voted today, so that's two things we have in common!

Seriously, if the fuckery wasn't so blatantly obvious that you can't have it figured out by the certification date, then you really don't have any evidence of fuckery to begin with.

simpledinosaur's avatar

Yes, exactly. They'd still have no evidence if they spent a thousand years "investigating."

Stanta Knows's avatar

Yay. Thanks for reference to State-by-State voting regs. My mail-in ballot has been received and my State says it counts even if I die. Vote like Jimmy!

avidlurker's avatar

Not to be morbid, but I have been kind of wondering about the rules on Carter's vote. I'm glad Marcie addressed it. And I hope and pray he lives long enough to see Kamala inaugurated.

Love the use of Scarlett. The first pic (for anyone who doesn't know) is when she showed up at Melanie's party dressed like a slut and expected people to stone her, the haughty expression hides fear.

The second is right after Ashley rejects her, she throws the china and when it shatters Rhett pops up from where he was lying on the couch.

One hopes that officials are still allowed to deny certification when the results are clearly bonkers - like a district with a population of 5,000 returning a total of 6,000 ballots.....

kmblue187's avatar

The extra 1000 filled out by Trump, with names like "John Smith."

kmblue187's avatar

As many of y'all know, I live in Atlanta, Sec State who made Trump cry says the turnout is incredible.

I was gonna go today, but as usual on the first day the lines are way long, the other factor is traffic, plus I gotta meet with the mayor tonight along with my neighbors. But fear not, I will early vote!

kmblue187's avatar

I met the mayor and liked him, he's a democrat and has big plans for the city, they sounded good to me, but as always it will be a struggle.

He's attractive and funny.

Hey, kmblue! I just moved to Georgia last year (Woodstock), and I'd love to invite you to the next Wonkmeet here! Please give me a shout at caregivingcanbefun@gmail.com. I'm going to early vote this Friday with my son, then have breakfast together. My favorite way to spend time with my kiddo.

SethTriggs's avatar

Let's win it for Jimmy!

Get your voting plan in action, friends!

simpledinosaur's avatar

I've filled out my ballot already, and will deliver it to a dropbox on the first day of early voting in my southwestern state, which will be this Friday.

cmd Human Scum's avatar

My plan is to early vote on Monday, the first possible day to do it.

Puddinhead's avatar

As we've always said here in Louisiana, "vote early and vote often".

SethTriggs's avatar

Since I'll be out of town the weekend early voting begins, I have to do it Monday. But I am gonna hop, skip and jump over there to do it! And I will fill those Democratic bubbles in with extreme prejudice!

Chinese hackers compromised the U.S. government's wiretapping system, and were able to obtain the contents of communications collected based on court orders (https://www.axios.com/2024/10/15/salt-typhoon-hack-china-verizon-att). Including, it seems, FISA court orders that mandate electronic surveillance of foreign nationals on behalf of the N.S.A. That sound bad.

"M"'s avatar

That sounds *really* bad

There's a lecture tonight I wasn't going to go to since it sounded like dude was going to blame every electronic failure ever in the U.S. on China, but now I'm feeling like I might have to go

And I still don't wanna

Hopefully he will get laughed out of court after discovery.

Triumph humped him already.

But watch the whole thing, Trump and Jake Tapper are hysterical.

Sadly I don't think it will actually get to discovery.

Because if it did it would be LIT.

SkeptiKC's avatar

Contnuing to draw attention to your perv curve probably isn't the wisest idea for an up and coming politician.

No pun intended.

OMG guys. Biden just abruptly ended a rally for Harris and swayed on stage for 40 minutes as the Village People played. NYT editorial board will demand his resignation for obvious cognitive decline any minute now!

SocialsDistant's avatar

But first! An all-expenses-paid trip to Clefetus Safari, GA, to talk with some "undecided voters" on why they'll never vote for Kamala and Trump has such a hold on them...in 3, 2, 1...

And all about how 'the GUBMINT' is so eville and won't do anything to help them after hurricanes...........while they spread lies and terrorist threats against FEMA.

C'mon, Janey. Hang on three more weeks to see Pussy Ass Bitch mortified!

I adore her! I'm sorry to hear this news, though. I hope she lives to see him crushed.

She's known for quite some time now and has devoted her remaining days to championing trans rights.
