And yet Republicans love to say that if there is a question about a voter’s status, they can use a provisional ballot. Sorry, not buying that one. The GOP loves to go to court and have provisional ballots thrown out.

Hey Judge, I’m ahead right now. The rest of those votes don’t matter. Gotta stop counting before I lose this race!

This was a preposterous attempt in the first place, and yet, she went for it with no shame or compunction.
After the Judge swatted her down, he should’ve dropped a knee into her gut to let her know just how sleazy she is.

9300 provisional ballots? In a predominately Hispanic area? Oh yes, she loses by a considerable margin, even being generous and giving her 30% of them, which is highly unlikely.

Fuking count.

The GOP hates Democrats, and democracy …
