Oh, FFS. Seriously?

The Republicans pull illegal shit, not only do they not face punishment for it (i.e. it should have been a win for McCready), but they also have the option to delay filling the seat by an extra couple of months just by having enough candidates in the pot to skew the chances of anyone reaching 30%…

Nice Democracy we used to have.

The chance of the GOP clown winning is exponentially better in a September general than in a November general. So pray for delay!

Fair point, I can buy that.

OT. Seems like there are some cows upset at vegans trying to ban slaughterhouses…

Sounds like a very representative collection of Republican candidates for any office.

McCrae Dowless, was indicted for running an absentee ballot fraud ring in 2018.

Yay, TPM has finally stopped mischaracterizing election fraud as “voter fraud”. At least, this time.

Hey, at least the state has laws requiring the redo of an obviously broken election. The US, at the federal level, does not.

No. There, the Electoral College is supposed to do their job and fix the error.

So, if you’re caught cheating, the punishment to your party is to be able to try again, in hopes of not getting caught cheating this time? What kind of fucked up system is this? Harris wasn’t just some rando who cheated. He was the select choice of the GOP, and now, after fucking up mightily, they get a do-over. That ain’t right.

But who’s footing the bill for the Democratic candidate, who has to mount yet another campaign, through no fault of his own?

Last I heard, he’s already raised over a mil, and no dems primarying him, unlike the 9+1 roachfest on the republican side.

The original poster said “like a Hogg”.

Trying to figure out your analogy there…

Yeah, a bunch of students were upset that an event put on by the Brady Center was slanted toward gun control. The journalists they accosted were invited there by the organizers. The Brady Center apologized for upsetting the students.

Well Texas had Kinky Friedman as a serious contender for Governor - in a four-way race with the sitting gov, some Democrat whose name was forgotten ten minutes into the race, and White House Press Secretary’s mom, Carole Keeton Strayhorn Rylander Keeton, which, my children, is how Rick Perry stayed in office.

(So when Perry steps cleanly from the mouldering ashes of Trump’s White House, shaking the dirt from his shoe, you will understand…)
