    Here in IL, we got Jelly Bean Prickster for another term, as well as She Who Has No Leg to Stand On.

    The media called it for Prickster around 6pm, I think. The polls close at 7.

    You should have seen the mess in IL with redistricting. When Chicago redid the ward borders, blacks and Hispanics were fighting over who got the most wards.

    Although the story you link to doesn't say so, it would appear that it too is missing context. It would appear to be a complaint that the temporary/emergency measures put into place during covid lockdowns are no longer authorized. Considering the fact that in Georgia, as well as most other states, it's never been easier to vote considering generous early voting timelines and ease of absentee ballots, why is it necessary to maintain special considerations due to covid era lockdown and limited public gathering restrictions? All voting in Georgia ended a couple of hours ago so there's no reason to continue the Jim Crow 2 narrative any longer.
    Considering that there’s no evidence that ballot boxes and early voting is rife with fraudulence what do you have against making it as easy for legitimate voters to vote?

    I’m impressed with your ability to embrace the current Republican orthodoxy of mocking veterans and people with disabilities.

    Just because it's not large scale doesn't mean it's not there and all efforts to diminish voting rules just make it easier to accomplish. Why would you be in favor of that?

    As an example, and since you're a big fan of Jimmy Carter, do you remember when he chaired a commission on voting rights and declared that mail in voting was the greatest threat to our election system? Heed Jimmy Carter on the Danger of Mail-In Voting - WSJ

    She mentions it ALL THE TIME. I know Dems who are fans of hers who wished she’d shut up about it.

    I can never remember if she’s a Democrat or a Republican, but I do always remember that she has one leg.

    Seriously? You had to go back over 40 years to justify your irrational fear of voter fraud? Pathetic.

    I guess I get it though Alan. You also are willing to believe the stupid ****s who are trying to put a bizarre angry gay lover theme on the asshole Republican attack on Paul pelosi.
