        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?

              To impart the perception of having a well informed opinion about everything.

                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.
