An interesting Twitter thread, today, includes:
and
The thread has some choice comments on the way the media gets played by the Republicans, too.
Which I’m sure that some of them did. (the ones who follow election news scrupulously).
But I’m also guessing that some of those voters have no idea that this is going on. They responded to one or more reminders to go vote, they voted, they’ve now tuned out of political news until the results begin to show up Tuesday night.
And some of those voters are aware that there’s a problem, but they lack the means to go back and re-vote.
I know that these people have no morals, no integrity, and no shame. What is wrong with them that they would look back at the vote suppressors and think that the literacy testers and poll taxers are the heroes of the stories and the ones to be emulated?

Absolutely agree with every word you said. This blatant effort by Republicans to suppress the vote, not even any longer pretending there is some purpose to it, is flies utterly in the face of democracy and faith to the Constitution they are sworn to uphold.
As the Lincoln Project has wisely counseled us, we should learn their names, and never, ever let them hold power again.
The stupid idea here is improperly using scissor lifts as towers to hold a flag up.
Thankfully it looks like no one was hurt.
Just in case anyone missed it, here’s the video Aspenglow refers to:
Or they watched it and their thought process was “Lazy Adama failed bigly to stop the Cylon caravans and our great Fleet is worse than it’s been in many yahrens. Count Iblis will MAKE CAPRICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Besides WI and PA, the states where mail-in ballots can’t be processed until Election Day are Mississippi and Alabama.
It would be awesome if poll workers in those two states, as neutral functionaries (as they — we — must be when doing our duties) — deliberately took their time processing them. Knowing that Trump wants to irresponsibly “declare victory” before anything close to all of PA and WI’s ballots are counted, poll workers across Miss. and Ala. should take their sweet time, responsibly verifying the validity of each ballot with deliberate slowness.
This would teach Trump a lesson in basic democracy, if he had to wait for results to “put him over the top” (not) after all.
But more importantly, it could actually prevent a real crisis — real violence. (Again, not over the eventual tally itself, but stemming from deliberately premature claims of “victory” clashing with the facts of that eventual tally).
I think it’s cute that you still think something as trivial as not having won the election will stop Trump (or his supporters) from declaring victory. Have you just not been paying attention for 4 years?
Completely agree.
Heh. Point taken. Although it’s interesting that, according to a headline (I haven’t read more yet), Trump walked back his intention to possibly declare victory prematurely.
Doesn’t change the horror of what he and millions still want to make happen, but at least he seems to have noted the optics of telegraphing that one is a loser.
I’ve watched dozens of Lincoln Project ads and Names is far and away the best that I’ve seen. It’s nice to see if get a shout-out here, for certain values of ‘nice’.
I’m just going to give you a small BEEP for implying that DJT is capable of learning anything, particularly from experience. We’re all wearing down and hope springs eternal, etc., yaddayaddayadda.
With a nod to @Zakalwe.
So is having your finger on the trigger, unless you are meaning to fire right now.
IIRC, Friday is the deadline for counting the mail-in ballots in PA. And we have far more this year than ever before.
The Republicans, of course, squashed any chance of extending that deadline, and they’re busy with multiple lawsuits trying to get early votes thrown out uncounted.
Beep well deserved. Thank you sir, may I have another! 
Now, now. If you’re a glutton for punishment, you may have more coming.
At the risk of seeming flippant, learning their names sounds like a lot of work, especially when I can accomplish the same thing by just remembering the (R ) that comes after.
I’m with you. But remember who the Lincoln Project is – anti-Trump Republicans. They actually think the party may be viable going forward if they just get rid of everyone who supported Trump.
Even if it’s the goal of the Lincoln Project to save the GOP or conservatism in general, the people in it have burned their bridges with a Republican Party which will be dominated by Trumpism for a minimum of a couple more cycles.
What Dems need to do is to make sure that anyone affiliated with enabling DJT and Trumpism is branded by it going forward. The best those people should be able to do is to become a small part of an ever decreasing minority in the halls of power.
Remember the story a few years back about young Trumpers in DC complaining that they were having trouble finding dates because of their association with Donald? We need to make that kind of thing universal.
