I am so pleased Shaye and Ruby (GA election workers) won their lawsuit!!!!

[mysteryowl]

They deserved the win, the justice and money!!!

[leftieNanner]

1. Yes!

But good luck to them trying to collect.

Rudy is running low on cash.

[mysteryowl]

2. Please, let's just celebrate the win

[leftieNanner]

4. Agree.

I would hope that they are able to resume their lives in peace.

[The Wielding Truth]

27. This is just a partial payment for what Giuliani and Trump put these women through!

[Effete Snob]

3. The amount hasn't been determined

The trial now proceeds to the damages phase

[joshcryer]

11. Rudy is worth upwards of $40 mil.

And he is about to go to prison and his assets frozen.

They should be able to collect. Hopefully they get a good payout.

[calimary]

17. Oh I hope so!

Shit - I thought he was near-broke.

Well, he SHOULD be, and probably will be by the time this is over.

[Kingofalldems]

24. There are plenty more repubs left to sue.

[mysteryowl]

5. Can anyone post a comment of celebration/congratulations?

Which is the intention of this OP

[ecstatic]

12. I hear you but it's hard to just look at it in a vacuum.

This verdict is a major victory but so much wrongdoing occurred that sometimes it's hard to relax for a moment to enjoy a win. It doesn't feel like the threat is over, but I understand your point. We need to be balanced.

[mysteryowl]

15. We haven't had many wins only horrible news, so we do need to pause and smile for a win.

[Tumbulu]

31. Me- I am thrilled👏👏👏

👏❤️👏❤️👏

[ecstatic]

6. Congrats. I'm glad justice was served

[mysteryowl]

7. Thank you

[Torchlight]

8. It was a victory well earned.

August has been a dramatic month, judicially speaking, and the election worker's victorious suit is the cherry on top of the month.

[mysteryowl]

9. Yes it is!

[wendyb-NC]

10. Fantastic!

They so deserve the justice in their favor. They are good, honest, people and their integrity is impeccable.

What they were put through by tfg and his minions was beyond cruel, and terrifying. They were terrorized. This is great news.

[Walleye]

13. Great news, I hope this goes someway towards putting their lives back together.

[IA8IT]

14. Hell Yeessss!!! Will keep me smiling for days and days.

[republianmushroom]

16. agree

[4lbs]

18. But... But... we need to think of the damage to that lying pus bag.

And to RooDee too.

[mysteryowl]

20. You could post on this thread link instead of the celebration OP

[Botany]

... and Shaye and that is before the damages he will have to pay to those 2 and that will be in the millions*.

25. Best news. They deserve all good things

[Grumpy Old Guy]

26. They stood up to power and won.

Maybe this will put an end to his malicious career.

[Hekate]

28. Vindication for these good ladies. I am so happy to hear this. I have friends who quit years ago...

…when the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers started showing up at their polling places and hanging over their shoulders, leaning in and watching while they took signatures from people in the precinct. Give your name, sign the book, receive your ballot, go into the booth — normal procedure. But these large and aggrieved men were looming over the shoulders of small ladies in their 70s, volunteers doing their civic duty.

[wryter2000]

29. Yes!!!!

How much money can they collect? I don't know how much Rudy has left.

[dlk]

30. There are thoroughly ruthless judgment collection companies

I hope their attorney directs them to a reputable one
