Whether you like it or not we have a long-standing policy against attacks against groups of individuals (top sticky) and it's going to stop. This goes for anyone and everyone - bashing people because of who they support politically will not be tolerated.

Georgia election board requires ballots be hand-counted despite warning from key GOP state officials

Allies of former President Donald Trump who control the Georgia State Election Board approved a controversial new rule Friday requiring counties to hand-count the number of ballots cast at polling places on Election Day, despite bipartisan objections from election officials and poll workers.

The vote was 3-2, with the three Trump allies supporting the move, and a Democratic and independent GOP-appointed member of the board strongly opposing it, calling it an added step that could delay the results of the presidential election in the battleground state.

The office of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, previously warned the GOP-run board that this move would likely be unlawful because state laws don’t allow local election workers to hand-count ballots before the votes are officially counted.



Hand-counting 5.5 million votes would require time and staffing that local jurisdictions do not have, and when the votes can’t be counted on time, Trump will claim the election defaulted. It's not about election security and accuracy. It's deliberate election sabotage.

not sure why their resigning when this totally didn't happen and was just a coordinated smear campaign between cnn and woke democrat


RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN/AP) — Just days after a CNN report outlining evidence that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson made disturbing posts on a pornography website’s message board more than a decade ago, several key people in the Republican’s campaign for governor stepped down, his campaign announced Sunday afternoon.

That they didn't step aside before now is telling to me.

Typical Republican behavior. Just like the mea culpas issued AFTER they leave office. When an ounce of courage would have allowed them to make a difference to change what they want to find regrets about. See Colin Powel and the Iraq War, see Mary Cheney and marriage equality, and Mitt Romney's "courageous" attacks on Trump while still voting for all of his initiatives, and failing to endorse anyone in November.

I don't understand when people condone and tolerate this and continue to support politicians that do this.
And when you call them on it, it's considered meanness and vilification. There is a point where you have to call a spade a spade. If you support utter destructive nonsense, paid for by the Russian govt., you are a dangerous fool. And I will die on that hill.
