And the hits keep coming. Particularly delicious that the judge is the sister of Stacey Abrams…

In the battle of money vs no money, money has the time to trawl through the records to push this way or that.

We’re never going to win until we get the money, drive the money out, or take it from them.

This is getting beyond tedious. At what point do the Republicans adopt the slogan, “Don’t vote for us – we’ll vote for you”?

They tried this change-of-address schtick in Las Vegas too. It failed when it turned out that the overwhelming majority of the people who voted from out of state were still, in fact, still legally eligible to vote in Las Vegas – military families, overseas workers, etc.

ETA: Actually, I understated it. I don’t think they identified even one out-of-state person who had voted absentee in Clark County who was not legally eligible to vote there.

What a pathetic and futile attempt to strike almost 5% of the registered voters from the Georgia voter registration rolls. Georgia knows how to handle notice of moves submitted to the state and does not need help maintaining the registration rolls from well-financed partisan out-of-state groups.

Attorneys for the county election boards had asked Gardner to recuse herself in the case. The judge is the sister of Stacey Abrams…

Conservatives in America have established that there’s no need for her to recuse herself. She just has to promise to be fair.

Thank you, conservatives!

“legislating from the bench” = “handing down rulings we don’t like”

It is worth investigating if this appears to be true. If so, it should be publicized.

If Jan 5 doesn’t work out, here’s hoping Kamala becomes the busiest Vice President in recent memory, because of taking this action. Maybe even if Jan 5 works out for that matter.

Columbus is Ft. Benning. Whatta you wanna bet a lot of these voters are registered at GA addresses but are temporarily getting mail at other locations, such as, say, Afghanistan? (In other words, just like the NV “out of state” addresses TX Lawyer reminds us of.)
