they make it really easy to vote in North Fulton and really hard in South. I bet if we all thought about it hard enough we would understand why

my coworker said that he went by one of the intown locations yesterday and they had a 3 hour wait

the gop “expanding” early voting by cutting a bunch of it out seems to be getting the desired effect in terms of wait times. im hoping folks are plenty motivated to overcome the waits and other hurdles placed in front of them

and as of last wednesday morning, it still wasn't settled whether saturday voting would even be available.

I have been getting unwanted text from the Walker campaign about 3 times a week for the last few weeks. Each time I reply with STOP but they continue to come. I have replied with some pretty nasty stuff towards Walker as well but, these numbers are not monitored so nobody sees them.

I just don't understand why I'm getting these. My number is a local AL, 334 area code, number and I have never lived in the state of GA. I couldn't vote for the idiot even if I wanted too.

His campaign is just looking for money.

Ditto. No idea how I got on their email list, but I finally added the email to my blacklist.

I don't even live in Georgia and if I were, I'd never vote for Walker.

I got a few texts from some Democrat in Wisconsin. I have never been to Wisconsin in my life, although I do own one share of the Green Bay Packers.

I get texts occasionally from some group in Alabama that seems to be targeted towards black women. (I'm a white dude).

"Kooks in Arizona" is a pretty vague phrase. You'll have to be more specific.

Well…those in the southern half (where most are) live in a desert, so….
Maybe “Fried/Dried brain syndrome “…?

GOP-controlled Arizona county refuses to certify election

Republican officials in a rural Arizona county have refused to certify the 2022 election despite no evidence of anything wrong with the count.

Here's the best part:

State Elections Director Kori Lorick wrote in a letter last week that Hobbs is required by law to approve the statewide canvass by next week and will have to exclude Cochise County’s votes if they aren’t received in time.

That would threaten to flip the victor in at least two close races — a U.S. House seat and state schools chief — from a Republican to a Democrat.
