    Glad to see Jimmy got his chance to cast his vote.

    “Record number of early votes to go uncounted in forced hand recounts which will not be achievable in the three day deadline.”

        Stop what, counting ballots? I believe that is the plan, yes.

          Sowing doubt that people’s votes would count which could discourage others from voting would be my guess. I know what you said is right though. 🥲

            Yep. John Oliver covered it in detail on Sunday. I hate that it’s true, but it’s true.

              Just because you can do a thing, doesn’t mean that you should.

              What did you hope to accomplish with your original reply?

                Just because you can do a thing, doesn’t mean that you should.

                Sorry… do you think that there won’t be hand recounts in Georgia with a maximum of three days to do it, despite the election board specifically saying the exact opposite?

                  I do not have a “well informed opinion about everything.”

                  I just literally watched the Last Week Tonight episode that discusses this ratfuckery the Republicans are doing in Georgia four days ago.

                  That doesn’t make me well-informed, that makes John Oliver’s writers well-informed. And they literally showed clips of election workers complaining to the election board about the hand recount requirement.

                  I have no idea why you and the others are carrying water for GOP election officials, but you shouldn’t. They’re cheating right out in the open.

        That is so good to hear. Of course, it will get appealed and sent to a higher court, so we’ll have to wait and see, but that’s still great news. Thank you.

          It’s reaching the point where that won’t matter.

          Bush v Gore was clear regarding the Safe Harbor date. Even if the traitorous, anti-democracy assholes win on appeal, it won’t matter if the election is over and the state legislature turns red and reverses the laws.

        I’m roughly half his age and I’m hoping to finally see our first female president. I can only imagine how thrilled he’d be to see it happen.

    And they’ll find a way to invalidate these or just “dispose” of them. But vote!!!
