At this point, it feels like Republicans have decided that winning elections is just too much work—much easier to rewrite the rules. Why campaign with unpopular ideas when you can just hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete on democracy?
Their antiquated ideas are not popular with the majority of Americans and they know it. They have no other strategy other than to try and overturn elections.
It is going to be a looooong 3 weeks, but huge thanks to great minds like Judges McBurney (GA) and Manasco (AL) for their sound minds & judgements. It truly gives me hope. (And it should go without saying that I thank Joyce, Heather, and other scholars for their steady stream of info & updates.)
I’m not crying, you’re crying! And now, God willing, he will be here to see Kamala and Tim win the election in three weeks. I believe those are his last goals… and maybe then he is done and can go see his beloved Roslyn and rest.
Thank you for this. As disheartening as it is to have this election be close (I mean, really, what the hell?) it is heartening to know that smart, competent, dedicated, honest people including you, Ms. Vance, are busting their asses to make sure the sleazeball cheaters don't run roughshod over our right to vote, and have our vote be counted. I don't want to fight in a civil war, I want our democracy to work the way are elected officials ostensibly agreed that it should. Thank you for helping our country uphold that principle.
I want to point out that Jay Kuo says that one of the things that is throwing everyone off is that the Republicans are flooding the airwaves with Republican polls that show Trump leading. This is fake news. Makes me feel that polls are not to be trusted, which I have always felt. It seems designed to get Democrats to stay home. Luckily the Democrats are saying get out the vote. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/its-manipulation-plain-and-simple
If this is a strategy, it may backfire. Some Republican voters may feel a kind of confidence that lets them just stay home rather than go out and vote.
I read this Substack article last night and finally was able to let out a huge sigh of relief and I could breathe normally again. I didn’t understand how so many polls could change so quickly in a week. Now I know it is repub BS.
I appreciate this information. It was not even mentioned on my local or national news, but it is important to note that some judges are still fair and willing to stand for what is right. The voter roll purges need to be stopped in an even election year because it is simply unfair. People who have died can be found out online and, non-citizens are NOT registering to vote. It is political injustice or racism that are being used in the purges and that is unacceptable. Our Justice Department should be addressing these purges!
It's a breath of fresh air, to hear anything positive re: politics, these days. By my count, we are due for many more. Trump doing his dance is up there! As is his embarrassing answers at the Chicago Economic meeting. I truly feel he has gone off the ledge! He needs help! I wonder if his antics are a ploy or set up for a "mental health defense?
Joyce You are my judicial hero fighting against the Barbarians at the Gate. This news about how some judges are ruling against electoral fraud in the hinterlands personally is a most welcome early birthday present for my 91st celebration tomorrow.
I have been fighting against the Barbarians at the Gate for much of my life. Voluntarily I was a ‘sucker’ and almost a ‘loser’ in service for my country (and Constitution).
I am thrilled that you, Heather, and a multitude of others are fighting to preserve the soul (and judicial system) of our country. I seek to preserve America for my five grand children.
We are fighting to preserve a country that is ‘of the people, for the people, and by the people.’ Lincoln is my favorite warrior for the integrity of the United States.
All you folks are my honored modern-day warriors. The challenge is monumental: a critical battle between good and evil.
WE SHALL OVERCOME ON NOVEMBER 5TH.
As my hero (and friend) Edward R. Murrow would say:
So TFG can’t call Kemp and ask him to find him votes or even ask him to not certify cause the courts said they must certify the votes. At least Alabama had to stop removing people so close to the election and I believe that someone stopped Youngkin from doing the same thing yesterday.
It’s gonna take a long time to get rid of these MAGAts out of office.
It amazes me that Trump and his MAGA party will do anything to cheat yet he keeps telling his rally goers that Dems cheat....who's having all their cheating ways stopped by Courts??
This is great news. Justice served. I can’t believe how fast time has flown. Moms Rising sent me another hundred postcards today. I hope to get them in the mail by Thursday. I am so proud of Kamala and Tim. It is great to see this large group of us working so hard to get the vote out. I see a BLUE 🌊. Thanks so much Joyce for your in depth explanations. I am constantly learning something new and relevant. I turned in my mail-in ballot and was notified it was received. Try to vote early if you can.

Trump wouldn’t have the foggiest idea what cntr+alt+delete referred to…even though he seems to be living in a fog.

Good thinking Peter
They are following their leader.
and stir up trouble questioning the whole proceedure....
It's nice to get good news before going to bed. Thanks.
Or in my case, upon waking.
I voted yesterday for the next president of the United States. Kamala Harris.
I received a text from Leon County that my mail-in ballot had been received and counted a few days ago. Whew!
This year that is like the Nobel Prize!! Cheers!
Me too in Maine.

Jimmy Carter made it to be able to vote in Georgia for Kamala Harris!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! And now, God willing, he will be here to see Kamala and Tim win the election in three weeks. I believe those are his last goals… and maybe then he is done and can go see his beloved Roslyn and rest.

It is getting headlines in the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/15/georgia-election-certification-denier-republican?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other. I wonder what the Sinclair syndicate is electing to ignore.
Judge McBurney sounds like a character. “Shall not pass”? “Efflorescence “? I hope that, when this is all over, someone buys him a drink!
Trump as a large and growing skin tag. I like that.
Or maybe a hemorrhoid?

Good night! Thank you, Joyce
Thank you Marc Elias and team!
It’s a fight to the finish cuz I eats my spinach! Be Popeye!
Good work, judges!
This seems like a sensible ruling from the judge.
Imagine the chaos that would ensue with a hand count carried out by untrained personnel. Chaos. But then chaos would be desirable to Trump.
Sociopaths can do nothing else but create chaos. It’s in their DNA.
