A record number of early votes have been cast in Georgia on Tuesday as residents headed to the polls in a critical battleground state that is grappling with the fallout from Hurricane Helene and controversial election administration changes that have spurred a flurry of lawsuits.
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 Georgiafour 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.
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.
“Record number of early votes to go uncounted in forced hand recounts which will not be achievable in the three day deadline.”
Stop.
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.

What did you hope to accomplish with your original reply?

There will not. It was overruled: Georgia judge blocks ballot counting rule and says county officials must certify election results
A very welcome new element in this story, but as I said to someone else, it will get appealed. This is not over.
And what do you think happens when it hits Georgia Supreme? I think we’ve seen this show before.

Are you just here to troll or what?

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