“Go to the mat” is how I heard it. Wrestling term.
I don’t know who “goes to the mattress”???

Yeah and somehow it morphed into mattress. That happens. At least that has always been my thinking. Could be dead wrong.

The real fraud is ensuring millions of people get evicted so that they have no valid address to vote. Many states make it hard to prove your address if you are in between moves.

Barr is a rotten liar. Imagine the head of the DOJ using that argument about common sense. He’s a fake lawyer. Again, that term was redefined in GOPspeak truthiness by the Russian thug-based trumnpturd party back when this whole antidemocratic cabal was launched by Reaganites.

Not appealable until after final judgment. You have to attack them by mandamus, which is a nearly impossible standard for a routine discovery order like this.

Is it just me or wouldn’t universal mail-in voting be much more efficient than the mess we now go through every two years?

Now the rotten son of a bitch is going after the drop boxes as well as the USPS. Holy shit where is Madame Speaker Pelosi and Dem Senators? This has to be illegal and must be brought before the Supremes ASAP. I heard the vile bastard sort of back off the threat to the funding for USPS but he still was claiming he will veto any bill that advocated for vote by mail assistance. He knows this shit is backfiring on him once again but is so committed it is a difficult walk back.

The whole “We Don’t Have to Show You” that fraud actually occurred did not serve them well.

I always took it to mean just that, without the required context of being in a mafia war. One could be laying low for any reason. But, it appears that by usage, the meme now also means to be involved in a mafia war.

There is zero evidence to warrant their claims, and yet, in today’s US, at least a third of the populace, like lemmings roaring off cliffs, believe lies, because liberty and justice apply only to rabid racist whites. What a country. Vote, demand post office funding, peacefully demonstrate, and let’s get the FICOTUS gone.

That’s the same face Kavanaugh made at his hearing!

They can bring in Kobach and his experts, who failed to prove voter fraud a while back.

Mostly. It is useful to have voting centers, too, to provide language & ADA assistance.

I would be much more impressed with this request by the judge if it was directed at the White House instead of the t rumpp campaign. I know there is no functional difference, but there used to be a legal and an enforceable separation between the two. The campaign has no direct power over policy. The White House does.

Sorry but you are wrong. It happens.
go to the mattresses…
To go war; to use ruthless tactics; to act without restraint.

The origin is from The Godfather, and refers to the (male) family members and soldiers hiding out in a poorly furnished (eg. just mattresses on the floor) crowded rented apartment. That this occurred during a war with another mafia family has led to it, by usage, becoming shorthand for going to war. But the original meaning is to hide one’s group from one’s enemies.
Like “inflammable”, which originally meant not burnable, if enough people get it wrong for long enough, the definition changes to the wrong one.

@eduardoinohio have you called the Ohio SOS to demand more than one drop box in a county?
614-466-2655
If you get a person they will tell you they are not allowed to put more than one drop box, but they purposely made their decision before getting a legal opinion from the Ohio AG (which was to be ready this week).
Drop boxes have been in use in Ohio for years with no problem and the law they are using “required” one drop box outside the BOE because of the pandemic. It doesn’t limit them to one.
