      Anyone who feels the freedom to fuck with our elections or disenfranchise voters should have the book thrown at them, maximum penalties under the statutes.

        I would potentially settled for letting us throw books at them. These people are so fond of their book that tells them to stone people, let’s start using hardback copies of it to give them a visceral history lesson.

    The local vote, which was eventually certified under pressure from state officials…

    and further down:

    “The Constitution and Michigan Election Law do not authorize boards of county canvassers to refuse to certify election results based on claims made by third parties of alleged election irregularities, or a general desire to conduct election investigations,” the letter says. Failure to certify would mean that the clerk would have to personally deliver all records including ballots and voting machines to Michigan state canvassers — all at the county’s own expense. The price tag, the letter adds pointedly, will be “expansive.”

    Spoiler alert. It’s all fun and games until you actually have to put in work. Shouting random crap you read off Facebook doesn’t work in the real world.

      I read that as “expensive”, with a country twang.

    “These anti-democracy groups are taking these steps because they want to discredit the election if they lose.”

      Sorry, am I confused about what you are saying? Because it seems like you are being snarky about the idea that the Republican party will not do what it has been doing and loudly announcing it will continue to do since 2020. Really, trump started in 2016, but he did actually win that one electorally.

      Am I misunderstanding you?

        Given comment history, I’d like ro think it was just poorly phrased. But it’s also a quote from the article. Soooo not sure anymore.
