Trump effort to stop ballot count in Pennsylvania led by lawyer from Post Office Square

of the post.

Antidemocratic dickheads. There was just some footage on the TV of a crowd outside an Arizona vote-counting operation chanting "Stop the vote." Since they disrespect our form of government so much, it's our turn to invite them to move somewhere else.

Once we're back in the office, this guy should never, ever, ever get to his car at the end of the day and find that all the tires have air in them.

(Sure he could take the T, but that's a socialist construct!)

for the last five years. It doesn't seem to have stopped 49% of the country from voting for them anyway.

now let’s see the evidence. i’ll wait.

Show some evidence. I've had election news and ballot results on screens next to me virtually every waking hour, and I've neither seen nor heard of any substantiated allegations.

You bringing up potential election fraud from the 1960s is pointless. Believe or not, the Help America Vote Act after the 2000 election, and the focus on election security since 2016 seems to have worked. This is one of the cleanest elections, results wise, I've seen, and for context, I'm 40.

Count votes in Arizona, where Trump is behind. Stop counting votes in Georgia, where Trump is ahead. Stop counting votes in Pennsylvania, where Trump is ahead. Count the votes in Nevada, where Trump is behind.

Did I get that right?

Election fraud is in the eye of the beholder.

But both sides murder I give up why can't they?

The role of "election challenger" (also known as "vote challenger", "voter challenger" is defined by statutory law in every state, and while there are a lot of variations, you don't just get to work yourself up into a state of nurtured grievance over nonexistent attacks and declare yourself an "election challenger". Not, mind you, that you Republicans haven't tried it plenty in the past. There is a well-established history of Republicans exploiting loopholes in existing (and often outdated) challenge laws to make spurious challenges, generally targeted at communities whose votes they want to suppress. So I'd say the onus is on you to prove that your challenges are in good faith. There is no history of significant voter fraud; there is considerable history of Republican voter suppression.

In that case we should use the example of post-Civil War white southerners who did all they could to prevent any non-white from voting. They were racists through and through. Many if not most of people who voted for Trump did so because he hates anyone not of northern European heritage. Trump voters of today are the cultural war descendants of the racists of the 19th century.

This is not a partisan issue however. It is an issue of skin color and caste. And try to remember how Mitch McConnell proved that the southern hatred of non-whites continues. He stated that the most important goal was to prevent Obama from achieving a second term. This was not about policy; this was pure racism.

That looks about white.

also racially pure.

According to one of our colleagues here Clarence Thomas is an honorable man who would never violate the rules* of Federal Judgeships which - legally - he is exempt from (because the Supremes are better than the rest of us) yet, for whom the spirit does still apply.

*We're already seeing examples of Trump appointed judges who refuse to recuse themselves in spite of the most obvious of conflicts of interest. Susan Brnovich, a Federal judge appointed by Trump, refused to let another judge take over this case, even though her husband is directly involved in the prosecution case. Federal judges are OBLIGATED to respect only law itself but to not allow even the perception of potential conflict of interest.

No sireee. Clarence Thomas is a fine upstanding (woman grabbing) gentleman who has absolutely no sense of bias or unconscious bigtory against anyone. Down right saintly I think.
