Let's just start from, "The Republicans are going to steal the Ossoff election

unless we stop them"

They have proven time and time again that they will lie cheat and steal. It is to our peril to forget that.

Maybe ideas can be exchanged and changed implemented.

I personally think that each person should receive a receipt of their vote so they can have a hard copy.

Edit: I mentioned somewhere else that when you stick a sign in the ground you can put some blobs of Vaseline or Vapor rub or even grease, around the area where someone would grab to pull it out. Just remember to use towels when you go to pick them up yourselves

...much less in a organized manner to achieve desired voting outcomes.

And apparently they didn't have the ability to do it on Tuesday.

And you don't have to manipulate thousands of machines. Just enough and in the right place where you can tip the scale back into your favor

These things can be looked. His polling average was 42%. He got higher than that. It's certainly not evidence of a conspiracy against him.

foundation as a person who would put the lives of women at risk for political reasons.

I'm sure there must be more dirt on her.

IMO, Ossoff will not meet Handel on June 20 but will run against Gray.

Handel has the tag of loser and the big money has been supporting Gray, a Pense clone.

How quite and what will it take is up to Georgia and Trump. I'm assuming that Trump will find an ambassador to Belize opening, or another fun place to be..
