about the ongoing effort to overthrow the last one, well, this is news you want to know about. politico reports there are tapes, video recordings of republicans meeting with grass roots activists to do something that cuts against how elections are supposed to work here. they re supposed to be nonpartisan at the machinery side. the plan, however, is to install these partisan and party trained volunteers who can challenge voters at places where democrats tend to vote, what they call democratic majority polling places and connect those workers to lawyers, and have a network of party friendly district attorneys. now, if you take them at their word, those attorneys are supposed to be nonpartisan prosecutors who decide who s arrested or goes to jail. they shouldn t be involved in something that s quarterbacked bipartisan operatives. now, we don t know yet which d.a. s would actually get involved in this. it s important journalistically and otherwise to understand what is leaking ou
