  • YAHOO! FAFO!
  • Wishing & hoping this is just the start of turn around.

    But Orange Fart and his regime are doing everything they can to screw with the electoral process: they need to shrink the voter rolls because the more voters who actually vote will give the Democrats wins, everywhere.

    And now, his DOJ has the stuff they wanted to see, from Fulton County, GA. He can create another E.O. to do X, Y, or Z, based on what they find and use it as their pretext. Then (again) it will have to be challenged in court. It all takes time. They are playing the same game he plays with the lawsuits involving himself, personally:

    1. see how much you can get away with.
    2) let someone discover the extreme crap he's trying to pull off.
    3) get a date in court. (delay)
    4) wait.....Then appeal. ...Then the appeal takes time.

    (MORE time passes by...) Like the classified documents case in FL with "Judge" Aileen Cannon.)

    Then they bring it to SCOTUS...... (MORE waiting. Merrick Garland was punctiliously slow and proper; so worried about the mere appearance of impropriety.)

    Surely, it's all in the Project 2025 playbook.
  • The plan is probably to try a gerrymander of Statewide and Congressional districts, not by moving borders, but rather by deleting or discouraging wrong voters. I imagine the easiest and most successful might take the form of find fault with the voter's status pending re-registering, with selected documents, to vote. The profile used will be carefully selected to be "non-political" even if it hits an "enemies list" much harder than other groups.

    And a Huffpo article has the D lead at the time of the article at 14 points, meaning the district flipped by 31 if that's the final margin.
