... really won the PV something along the lines of 87m to 63m. PA’s massive mail vote screwed the fix there because it’s much harder to manipulate. That’s the real reason Тяцмр railed against mail-in voting.

And apparently GA’s election officials did not play along - prob because they had the wrong people there since GA didn’t seem to be a threat until late in the cycle -too late to make necessary personnel changes.

all the other obstacles the Republicans would never win the presidency again. Like Ohio the county I live in
has 67000 people and Franklin county has 1.3 million but there is only one early voting location in each.

for them, it's just strategy.

I mean, sure, they're nuts. But not in that they don't know they're ignoring facts, norms, protocols, laws, and the clearly expressed will of the people.

They know damn well they can only win by lying, cheating, stealing, & sometimes killing. And they're pulling this crap knowing full well their little coup attempt is just that.

They system has always been rigged against the little guy. If they do not intend to play fair, then we are only shooting ourselves in the foot by taking the higher road. At some point, a line in the sand has to be drawn or the entire corrupt system needs to be torn down. I believe it is easier to do a tit-for-tat than tear down the entire system.

I know that word and that concept has taken an incredible bashing and has been relegated to being a slur, but I WANT "elite." I don't want the person in charge to be someone I'd like to hang out with and have a beer.

Excellent take, CatLady78, and while it's a bit late, I've not seen you before, so welcome to DU. By this one post, I can see you're going to love it here, or already do.
