    They spent 18 months and millions of dollars, but didn't want to do the leg work to find a person they thought was a mule and get their side of the story? Test their theory to see if they were really found mules, or if it was just people who fit an innocent pattern? That seems like a big failure.

    And you don't need really any leg work in many cases. If they live in a house, just use their Geo Data to get their address off Google Earth and then you can look up their names on a property appraiser's web page, then in many cases you just look up their phone numbers. Slightly more complicated if they are renters ... and more difficult, but not impossible, if they live in a multistory apartment.

    • Unfortunate oversight?
    • Ooops, that was Larry’s job
    • 3-D chess?
    • Part of a global strategy for world domination you wouldn’t understand?
    • Dems habitual lack of planning?
    • Those candidates couldn’t come up with their share of the mule fees?
    • Ran out of bamboo ballots
    • Volunteers were slow filling out the ballots?
    • OR it was a fair and secure election and the winners won and losers lost

    I explained why. Of course this doesn't mean they haven't done it already it's just not public knowledge.

    I saw D'Souza on Twitter complaining that Newsmax would not invite him on.

    Shocker there. He just wants more people to spend the $30 bucks so he can continue to grift his way into right wingers’ wallet’s and because they won’t give them the time of day, it’s greatly effecting his bottom line. Guy is a loser.

    Yeah, I'd probably watch this thing if I didn't have to pay for it because I tend to torture myself with nonsense in an effort to be as open-minded as possible. But I'm not giving him any money.

    It takes a warrant to get the names if you are law enforcement. If you aren't, you can easily get them with fairly limited expenditures.

    If their concern was in not harming people, they wouldn't be putting out pictures of people they are calling "mules," which is quite harmful even without their name attached. I don't buy this as an explanation for a second.

    Of course there was fraud. Didn't they arrest those people in the Villages?

    Which reminds me, while many rightwingers love to grouse about the left, they keep getting fleeced by their own folk, often willingly. And those doing the fleecing know this.

    It's also indicative of the how right-wing politicians treat their base. See the recent West Virginia primary, where the Repub who voted for the infrastructure bill lost in part because he voted for the infrastructure bill that brought billions of badly needed dollars to WV. The base keeps voting for right-wingers even though it is not in their best economic interests.

    He didn’t get the memo: the official GOP stance was to vote NO on the bill, but brag about individual local projects as if you voted yes for them. To actually vote yes on the bill? Unforgivable…

    even Qbert knows this.

    U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert touts funding wins she voted against

    A newsletter distributed by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s office this week touts “nine Boebert wins for Colorado,” but all nine items were included in a bill that the representative voted against earlier this month.

    Straight out of the Republican playbook. I recall back in 2009 and 2010 Republicans were taking credit for infrastructure projects in their states/districts funded by Obama's American Recovery Act even though they voted against the legislation in an almost straight party line vote. Not infrastructure but I also recall when Rick Perry ran for the presidency in 2012 he took credit for Texas's budget surpluses which happened only because the state received billions of dollars from the Federal government under Obama's stimulus legislation.

    As good a place as any to post this, and attempt after attempt is laughed out of court.

    A Georgia judge dismissed David Perdue’s lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results.

    The term “ballot harvesting” is a pejorative for collecting a group of ballots and dropping them off. The term is intended to make something seem sinister that is not. So, if you call them “mules” and accuse them of “ballot harvesting” then you create the impression of wrongdoing. Bear in mind that own some places now it is illegal to give water to a voter who is waiting on line. We can call them “water mules.”

    David Perdue has reduced himself to just being an an embarrassment at this point. Literally, his only campaign issue is the 2020 election. That's all he's running on. Meanwhile his opponent:

    1. Passed the heartbeat abortion law.
    2. Passed an open carry law.
    3. Banned gender crossover in HS sports.
    4. Passed an election "reform" bill.
    5. Procured not one but 2 car manufacturing plants.

    Kemp (who I disagree with on mostly everything) is a conservative's wet dream. And Purdue is just a victimized loser running his 3d shitty campaign in 18 months

    Ballot harvesting was so 2020, the new term is "ballot trafficking". Way more visceral and easier to see how sinister these people are now that we have labeled them as traffickers.
