So who do we elect this year?

You could invent a whole “original intent” mythology about how county seats were positioned to be one days ride from the townships/villages/slave labor camps within that county. And so, as long as people aren’t waiting in line for more than 24 hours, it passes muster.

Oh boy. So they’ve filed a redacted affidavit without (apparently) even so much as asking the court for permission first:

And that micronation thing isn’t a joke:

Also, one of the affidavits isn’t notarized, and more than one of them declares that the affiant is “an adult of sound mine”.

Yeah, this totally looks like it’s worth the court’s time.

I can’t see him staying alive or healthy enough to run in 2024; I’m already sick of seeing it online and I know it’s going to show up on bumper stickers and other sila…er, signage.

It means that the bar for success for contesting voter suppression and other past-and-future fuckery is going to be higher but possibly based on evidence.

Oh, FFS… they’ve got Shiva Ayyadurai in this mess too. The guy who thinks that writing a message-passing program in high school that he named “email”, and was hardly used by anyone, means that he can call himself the “inventor of email”.

And his logic about the election doesn’t seem to be much better.

From paragraph 12 in his declaration:

When votes are tabulated, it is the electronic ballot image that is evaluated by the tabulation software. This makes the electronic ballot image the actual ballot used to count the vote. The paper ballot is merely stored physically by elections officials to serve as the audit trail backup record.

Ok, this is at least close to reality…

Thus, no conclusions about the accuracy of the electronic vote count may be made without access to the actual raw ballot images used to tabulate the vote.

And this makes a hard turn into fantasy land, because the whole point of the paper ballot audit trail is that you can use it to make conclusions about the accuracy of the electronic vote.

…And then the exact same paragraph is duplicated as paragraph 13, as though saying it a second time gives it any more weight.

I really feel sorry for the judge who has to wade through this crap.

It offends me greatly because I took advantage of the gov’t training program back in the mid-1990s and went to Dorsey Business School for their Legal Secretary program. Looking at the grammar and spelling errors alone makes me wonder if those things matter any more than writing in cursive does these days.

But who needs a competent secretary when a lawyer can just use a template and a program/app to create documents for them?

So, a President who has actually got a foot injury that would prohibit him from being drafted, and due to enjoying being with a dog instead of being afraid of them. We are moving on up in the world.

What kills me is all those government employees - elected ones, at that - who encourage anti-government propaganda.

I mean, isn’t that like…oh, I dunno, Henry Ford becoming a Marxist? Do they think the gov’t’s gonna get overthrown and they’re gonna get better jobs or somethin’?

No, no, see, it’s just anti-socialist-communist-child-porn-baby-eater-satanist-demonically-possessed-lizard-person-government. Their government is the good ones, it’s those other ones who are so scummy that no one would care if they were killed. Hypothetically.

If that has happened. If. If.

If Hell exists, there is a Special Hell waiting for these people.
