I'm glad they're trying to do something about that bs. The sorts of people worming into election boards scare me even more than the election itself. They believe conspiracy theories so easily.
This is way too late though. Courts are slow and nothing will possibly be implemented before the election, and if something is doen, republican will just spin it as "reeeeee liberals are rigging it !!!1!!1!" again and *still* try an armed insurrection.
If they're going to try to steal it anyway and cry regardless, why wouldn't you try to fix it? It's not a zero sun game
Oh we should try to fix it for sure, I'm saying entering this into the courts with <2 weeks before early voting starts in Georgia and expecting the courts to get any kind of results or action out of the governor's office in a timely manner is an exercise in futility. This stuff should have been forced thru the first week for September at the absolute latest.
They didn't believe in anything. They didn't want to lose and are consciously, intentionally stealing this election where their failed attempts ended last time.
I'm not giving any one of them an out.
Yeah, I'll never know their hearts and minds, so it doesn't really matter compared to their actions.
I don't mind giving them an out, personally, if they need a way to pretend they're not shitty, amoral people (i was tricked! gosh! I would never parrot obvious lies for my own advantage! I was naive!) to resolve cognitive dissonance and stop being shitty in this way. I don't blame anyone else for not giving that to them.
They don't deserve it.
