10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The confusion is a feature
Honestly, I am fully expecting riots this November and December over the election because of the confusion
That’s why Trump was attacking Brian Kemp in Georgia. Last time, Kemp refused to go along with Trump’s ploys to steal the election. He’s adding pressure now to make sure, if the opportunity arises, Kemp helps Trump steal the next one.
Georgians who aren't traitors need to start pressuring Kemp (and Raffensperger, and local elections boards, etc.) in the other direction, to stay the course and do their jobs properly. It needs to be made clear (both publicly and personally to the officials involved) that we are even more motivated to protect democracy and the rule of law than the MAGA fascists are to destroy it.
Bingo!
You can not trust republicans at any level of government.
"Government is incompetent and fundamentally evil. Here, look!"
Canada has always used paper, hand-counted ballots. Why anyone would trust their elections to machines which can be sabotaged is beyond me. Perhaps use them to check human-counted results, not the other way 'round.
Takes too long? Recruit more volunteers. Or, heaven forbid, pay them. Something this important deserves the resources to do it transparently and accurately.
This ends with Florida’s results delayed because the hand count was interrupted by immigration enforcement, as only illegal workers would work for the pay offered…
Let's just hope Georgia does not matter this time.
