      I think they stayed in, and voted. These are mail-in ballots, right?

        Not necessarily, early in-person and mail in is what they are talking about. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong!

    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.”

        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.

        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?

                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.
