A federal judge granted a 48-hour extension for voter registration in Virginia on Wednesday morning, a day after a cut cable shut down the state’s online voter registration system. The outage happened on the state’s final day for voter registration and impeded early in-person voting as well.
So cutting the fiber optic cable is no longer a reliable GOP hack?
A new federal judge will now issue a stay on that order. Yes, I’ve seen how it’s done.
This is what court’s used to do to help make sure everyone had a chance to vote. Glad they didn’t get stuck with a Federalist Trump supporter in a black robe.
It will take more than 48 hours to get the appeal done. This order is probably final.
I hope. I am way too cynical these days.
It does seem rather…odd.
With good reason, methinks.
Since I saw you yesterday with an orange vest, hard hat and bolt cutters… Yeah.
After acknowledging that the state lacked a backup plan after a 10-gigabit optical fiber circuit was inadvertently cut during a Chesterfield County roadside utilities project on Tuesday
Call. Before. You. Dig.
I thought there was some sort penalty if you did dig before you called?
I first read the headline as “…after outrage”, which seemed appropriate.
We’ve just about realized the Republican Dream of having judges decide the election…
However…
Not Today Motherfucker
We’re here
We’re pissed
We’re going to do what it takes to vote you out of existence
You are going to drown in blue
This does happen, it happened to me and cut off our access to a remote mountain until they fixed the cable. But, it requires people screwing up…that also happens, so this may just be what it was.
Let’s remember that FL also had an issue on the last day of registration that cut off their website; I haven’t seen an explanation to this point. So, that’s 4% of the states having issues with their voting computer infrastructure so far that cut off direct access to the registration system…let’s see if it happens again, or if there are denial of service attacks or other issues during voting that causes lots of problems with people being able to vote. Or, my biggest fear, where someone crashes the registration so no one knows who is actually registered and voting grounds to a halt. That kind of thing seems likely this time around, we’ll see what happens.
All of this is why people should vote early, waiting to vote in person on Nov. 3rd is dangerous due to COVID but also because that’s the day people may attack the voting system in the hopes of giving Trump a win through nefarious ways.
