Should have done that already, IMO. It’s been over two weeks already.
That seems to be the way Georgia’s election laws work: if the certified vote is close within a certain percentage, the candidate can call for a machine recount.
Don’t sweat it. We all get caught out by the garbage that gets passed around from time to time. And there is underlying truth, that there is preparation and construction underway apparently. That’s just not a photo of it.
One of the reasons that Putin is done with Trump is because he isn’t looking to have the United States change owners, he’s seeking to break us up. Any actual fighting opens up an opportunity to provide support: information, expertise, logistics, armaments, training, etc. Russia and China and maybe parts of Europe will rush to help one side or the other, for trade and political gain. Thru supporting different factions, all stand to gain a foothold, perhaps a partnership, in American politics and the economy such that they will stand to control some large part of America’s current natural resources, intellectual properties, human resources, etc. Most of America is very fertile and sparsely populated land that can feed a lot of mouths for a very long time; that alone would be a huge incentive to a lot of powerful nations/factions.
On Friday (local time), a group of black voters and a voting rights organisation filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing Mr Trump and his campaign of breaching the 1965 Voting Rights Act by falsely claiming voter fraud, and trying to overturn the results in Michigan and other states by pressing officials not to count or certify votes or to install pro-Trump electors.
It’ll be interesting to watch how Trump’s stranglehold on the party rips it into several factions…
I think they hit their high tide of voter turn out this election…I can’t foresee any new demagogue coming along any time soon, at least. Trump stirs a particular flavor of fervor that isn’t easy to tap into. Such a weird cult of personality.
a number of Republicans on the “free-speech” social media website Parler have demanded a boycott of the Senate runoff elections, citing a conspiracy theory about “rigged” voting machines. Screenshots shared by reporter Marcus Baram showed that people on the app accused Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger of being “RINOs”—an acronym for “Republican in Name Only”—and trying to lead to victories for Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
The “logic”, it burns. They’re accusing Kemp and Raffensperger of trying to get Warnock and Ossoff elected, so in opposition to that they’re urging people to take action that if it happens is likely to . . . get Warnock and Ossoff elected.
That is so utterly nonsensical that I find myself wondering if that’s not actually any form of Republicans posting it.
– but, yeah. That’s the problem with encouraging movements that are based on excluding the Others. At any moment, people in such movements are likely to suddenly find that they themselves have been defined as Other. There is no safety there, folks.
