Eating their own.

The trumpians are furious with Gov. Kemp of Georgia, certain that he accepted kickbacks when that State bought $107 million of voting machines and software from Dominion Software. This conspiracy theory comes courtesy of an interview of Sidney Powell this morning by Rush Limbaugh, wherein she said that she wouldn't be surprised if Kemp had taken kickbacks, and after a couple of nights ago she told Maria Bartiromo that governors and local officials HAD taken those bribes and that she'd never state anything she couldn't prove.

I find this all rather fun, to be honest.

that can be mailed or dropped off up to two weeks before the election deadline, I'm all for them objecting to voting machines.

Not only that but a week after the vote deadline is when results will be announced nationwide. pollsters and pundits can write or say whatever they want but the election won't be called for a week.

Ban touchscreens
Require all election systems to be open-source and audited by the FEC, NSA, or suitable authority.

Tons more to do, but I'm focusing on just the machinery here.

"We also have, at least I've been told, that there's special concerns about the Governor of Georgia and the Secretary of State having received some kind of personal benefit for rushing the purchase of the Dominion machines to the state."


Notice how that slimeball carefully couches her accusation with "at least I've been told".

Doesn't matter to trumpians that that proves she's a snake.... they're running with it. Kemp must be imprisoned, says Lin Wood.

... revelations that the GA gov and SoS DID take kickbacks for the Dominion machines, and that they DID get tainted election results - FOR Тяцмр. But the mail in vote sufficiently outweighed the cheat.

What would they say then? That they didn’t cheat hard enough?

...never assume they're down. Doing that will bite you.

It may be amusing to watch, but they haven't "eaten their own" until what's left is mostly droppings on the kennel floor.
