3. Womp womp.

5. I have to wonder what undecided voters are thinking

And I'm talking about people who are genuinely not sure whether to support Democrats or Republicans. They see Republicans trying to game the system with a transparently partisan maneuver to keep voters from the polls, and it doesn't tip the scales for them. A unanimous state supreme court decision stripping away the racist underpinnings of the Republicans' ploy, and it doesn't seem to influence their thinking at all.

14. I bet they are Republicans who can't

stomach Vito g Democratic. But hate Walker.

10. The Republican effort to block early voting

Was to block people from voting, period.

Because they know high turnout favors Dems.

11. Georgia SoS plans to appeal

[bluesbassman]

16. So it's all about State's Rights, until it isn't.

Their own state Supreme Court makes a ruling about the handling in their state of elections and they don’t like the outcome so they’re going to go crying to the Feds?

Every stinking day the Republicans push the limits of unadulterated hypocrisy.

25. Bush V. Gore

Same.

30. I so want/wanted to vote Saturday

as my early polling place doesn't open until Sunday.

Either I will have to go Sunday or take time off work on Monday.

Saturday would have been so convenient for me.

Last time I looked (earlier this afternoon) the schedule has not been adjusted to show it's open on Saturday.

13. Appeal the unanimous decision of the GA supreme court?

Maybe they think the Ribers SCOTUS will overturn the ruling, and they might not be mistaken about that.

[JohnSJ]

21. The SC won't even hear the case

[Ocelot II]

31. I was *sure* they wouldn't hear Bush v. Gore, so I hope you're right...

[rurallib]

12. Well this is some unexpected good news!

Much thanks to the folks at Elias!

[Bev54]

15. Send a text to all the dems, maybe the republicans won't be paying attention

[Yoyoyo77]

17. Interesting. Is there a GOP majority on this court?

If so this could be a crack in the red wall.

[djacq]

18. It's not so much that the GOP made the effort,

It's that Herschel Walker didn't protest.

[JohnSJ]

19. Why would he? That assumes he actually believes in what is right.

20. TY & Marc Elias & Team! nt

22. Republican note to self: Replace GA Supreme Court

NOT

It’ll be on the next Federalist Society meeting agenda.

[calimary]

26. So can we consider the source? Target the damn Federalist Society!

What if they were suddenly hamstrung by lawsuits and challenges to every frickin’ move they make, whether it’s a legislative rewrite attempt or using the wrong fork at dinner.

Could we make it rain lawsuits?

Could we think and strategize other moves that will add more balls ‘n’ chains to their ankles? Short-sheet their proverbial beds? How can we tie them up, up to their eyebrows, with burdens that scream for their attention, sap their energy, and cost them time, focus, and money?

Hell, that’s how they treat us! WHY can’t we respond in kind?

Why can’t we “return the favor,” as it were?

Why DON’T we “return the favor”?

Playing nice and being patient and evenhanded and “rising above it” do NOT work with these schmucks.

[live love laugh]

27. I think that we act differently bc we have people like Manchin

and Sinema who we know about but others that we don’t know of.

I heard Thom Hartman talk about this once.

I like your lawsuits idea tho.

[calimary]

28. Seems like it'd at least be a start.

Tie ‘em up. Monopolize ALL their time and expertise. The more time they spend responding, the less energy they’re apt to have to be active on-offense nogoodniks.

Whatever hobbles them or gums up the works for them is WHAT WE SHOULD DO! Gestures big and small, shall we say!

[whathehell]

23. Yes!!

[ananda]

24. Victory!

We need some of those!
