2024 will be the first Presidential election in history to stand unresolved due to voter registration, suppression and outright thievery of the outcome from wayward States.

And no one will say a word about the down-ballot winners on the same ballot being falsely elected at the same time.

They really are coming for our elections.

And there will be tearing of hair and rending of garments when the first results are not in as soon as the polls closed. Or the next day. Or the day after that because hand counting takes time.

Eejits, all of 'em.

Well, of course it takes time.

And that time is just enough to ensure there will be ballot miscounts and ballots showing up in suitcases and ballots having bamboo fibers and voters showing up multiple times and all that other BS that will come when the results aren’t instantaneous.

We need to just say it, Republicans are against fair elections.

That is Republicans only care about winning and power, and to the extent fair elections will limit their power, they are against fair elections.

I hear that tryouts are planned for next year in Jackson, MS. That’s right after tryouts for culture war villain for the 2026 election cycle in Tallahassee.

It sure can. We had a pretty good state going until Trump-in-a-sweater-vest took over. Now it’s downhill in every direction.

Only great thing about Youngkin is: barring more apathy, his LG and any state Republicans looking to be Governor can kiss that dream goodbye.

The current GOP just can NOT figure out why ‘young people’ and various minorities just aren’t that IN to them.

So they won’t vote for the GOP.

Best solution: fix it so ‘those people’ can’t vote.

Just wondering what the cost increase is to do all this checking in house as opposed to paying ERIC a yearly fee? And how much turnover happens in N. Va. with people moving in from states that don’t “neighbor” VA?

So much for the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” More like the land of the obedient and home of the chickenshit. I’m so disgusted with this country right now that we’re running scared from a bunch of fat incels in mommy’s basement. One quick right to the jaw and these bitches run crying home to mommy. Fucking grow a pair already.

Stephanie Ruhle had a very perceptive guest on last night.

He stated that the MSM had better drop the HorseRace as a focus and do this:

What are the STAKES? What happens if a certain candidate wins?

I think the idea is that once you’ve ditched a more-or-less working method, you can turn to list-purging methods that suppress a lot more votes (Like the “any name that resembles a name already on the list” technique). Combine that with negligible funding for telling people they’ve been purged from voter rolls, and you’re good to stay in power.

Journalists are basically morons. They glom onto any narrative that their small brains can understand, and a horse race is about the best they can do. The hacks have been peddling this same stupid election narrative since The Lincoln-Douglas debates.
