backwards. imposing objections on a state that doesn t have any problems? so i m concerned about a level of the enthusiasm because it is a horrible negotiaing tactic. but, yes, we are in a better place than we were ten days ago. sam, i want to go sort of more specifically through the list. great stuff at the top. we ll make election day a national holiday, 15 days of mandatory early voting. but then you get to other suggestions here which would allow states to still maintain voter roles which many people interpret the ability to continue to purge voter roles at the last minute. also suggestions about severely limiting access to no excuse mail-in ballots and absentee balloting. sam, when you look at this list, what part of this do you think is joe manchin thinking or what
If you are goofy enough to like face masks or COVID shots, please don’t read this. This information is too effective and we have enough goofy people in office already. If you are cowardly enough to ever wear a face mask for any reason, please don’t read this. This information is too effective and we have enough cowardly people in office already. Everyone else, please read on. This stuff really works. If you didn’t succeed at moving your school board (or any other government body you are focussed on) after months of diligent work on key issues, following yesterday’s writing … Continue reading →
a federal court rote that republicans targeted african-americans with almost surgical precision. this is as close to a smoke gun as we ll ever seen. by 2016 elections, there were more smoking guns. that was the first presidential election in 50 years when black voters faced the full assault on their voting rights. the full implementation of voter right id laws. almost 1200 polling places closed, millions upon millions removed from the voter roles. a voter id law in wisconsin

would like everybody to be a lot more direct. it is hard to do that, i m sure, in person. but let s look at the trump administration, what they ve done. not their words but their actions. their actions are they have been very aggressive in trying to make sure there is no russian interference from any other country. we all have to understand they are going to do and not just russia, china, iran and other countries will try to impact our elections and we have to be diligent. you brought up two countries in there. you know, this report was odd in this respect. only one state allowed itself to be named in what happened to their voter roles. it was the state of illinois. the state of florida is anonymous in here. there is a lot of speculation based on similar reporting that it is likely state two that is referred to in this report as florida. did you learn new information from this report that you did not know as governor at the time? well, that report i have not seen. why not? and
