(14,557 posts)I would say disputing every single ballot in a predominantly black district is just that - hatred for this country, hatred for democracy, and hatred for fair elections.
And definitely racism - don't forget that.

Class I felony
Substantial battery is a Class I felony, punishable by up to three years and six months imprisonment and a fine of up to $10,000.
Other types of battery that are punishable at Class I felonies include those by a person under a restraining order and those against a public official, a school district employee, a public transit operator or passenger, or a county, city, town, or village employee.
(Wis. Stat. § § 939.50, 940.19, 940.195, 940.20, 940.201, 940.203, 940.205, 940.207, 940.208.)
Make an example out of them.

I'm counting down the milliseconds to the instant the Safe Harbor deadline hits and Trump can't file any more of his bullshit election challenges.

(28,313 posts)Trump wins by 11 votes. Biden requests a recount. Trump supporter signs up as a "Biden Observer," pulls a little stunt and thereby promptly gets the Biden recount shut down.
