Stop what, counting ballots? I believe that is the plan, yes.
Will you stop?
Are you just here to troll or what?
Sowing doubt that people's votes would count which could discourage others from voting would be my guess. I know what you said is right though. 🥲
Yep. John Oliver covered it in detail on Sunday. I hate that it's true, but it's true.
Just because you can do a thing, doesn’t mean that you should.
What did you hope to accomplish with your original reply?
Sorry... do you think that there won't be hand recounts in Georgia with a maximum of three days to do it, despite the election board specifically saying the exact opposite?
There will not. It was overruled: Georgia judge blocks ballot counting rule and says county officials must certify election results
And what do you think happens when it hits Georgia Supreme? I think we've seen this show before.
A very welcome new element in this story, but as I said to someone else, it will get appealed. This is not over.
To impart the perception of having a well informed opinion about everything.
I do not have a "well informed opinion about everything."
I just literally watched the Last Week Tonight episode that discusses this ratfuckery the Republicans are doing in Georgia four days ago.
That doesn't make me well-informed, that makes John Oliver's writers well-informed. And they literally showed clips of election workers complaining to the election board about the hand recount requirement.
I have no idea why you and the others are carrying water for GOP election officials, but you shouldn't. They're cheating right out in the open.
