1. Thankfully, at least one state (Virginia) has told Kobach

to stick his "request" where the sun don't shine (not quite in those exact words):

VA Gov. Has ‘No Intention’ Of Helping Sketchy ‘Election Integrity’ Commission

6. Call Your SOS.

If You're in a red state, as I am, stress the government OVER REACH involved.

Also keep calling Your elected employees about trump care & trump insanity.

Celebrate OUR INDEPENDENCE by taking action, Y'all!
