We got the votes; question is whether everyone will have...

..the opportunity to cast it.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-01/trump-allies-back-mass-challenge-to-voter-eligibility-in-georgia

A group backed by Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne is challenging the eligibility of tens of thousands of Georgia voters just weeks before the November election in the state where the former president fought hardest to overturn his 2020 loss.

The group, VoterGA, filed eight boxes Monday containing what its leader says are 37,500 challenges to voters in Gwinnett County, a once solidly Republican area of suburban Atlanta that has voted Democratic since 2016.


They could win the war without firing a shot.

put enough GQP/MAGAt sympathizers in key positions.

Figures that fucking traitor Michael Flynn is behind this shit. As a veteran, I despise him and he is a disgrace to all who served.

challenges against thousands of Republican voters? Now is not the time to hang with principles. Fight fire with fire to win, then codify ethical principles.

we should be doing the same to their voters...


If Republican county clerks are not hammered the same way, they will not encourage their legislators to change the law...

And if the complaints against these voters are bogus, would that not be against some law about filing false legal complaints?

At least go after a federal injunction against these tactics.

mass challenges against Republican voters since the Georgia legislature made such challenges legal. Fight fire with fire.
