protect democracy and some will die.

Fucking republicans have admitted they want to kill us, we better fucking BELIEVE THAT AND ACT ACCORDINGLY

HOWEVER

this is the GOP, they will cheat even more than they already have, until the votes are all counted, dont assume anything...they do not ever allow an election to go by that they do not cheat.

The whole reason why the Wisconsin GOP forced live voting and the SCOTUS tried to limit vote by mail was to defend a state supreme court seat. Wisconsin voters were forced to go out and vote when this was not safe just so the Wisconsin GOP and the RNC could keep one seat on the Wisconsin state supreme court.

The Democrat won this race and so the Wisconsin GOP pissed off a ton of voters and got nothing for their efforts
