Finally got around to reading this. gg Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, three Republican leaders told me they had already discussed the direct appointment of electors among themselves, and one said he had discussed it with Trump’s national campaign.
“I’ve mentioned it to them, and I hope they’re thinking about it too,” Lawrence Tabas, the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s chairman, told me. “I just don’t think this is the right time for me to be discussing those strategies and approaches, but [direct appointment of electors] is one of the options. It is one of the available legal options set forth in the Constitution.” He added that everyone’s preference is to get a swift and accurate count. “If the process, though, is flawed, and has significant flaws, our public may lose faith and confidence” in the election’s integrity.
Jake Corman, the state’s Senate majority leader, preferred to change the subject, emphasizing that he hoped a clean vote count would produce a final tally on Election Night. “The longer it goes on, the more opinions and the more theories and the more conspiracies [are] created,” he told me. If controversy persists as the safe-harbor date nears, he allowed, the legislature will have no choice but to appoint electors. “We don’t want to go down that road, but we understand where the law takes us, and we’ll follow the law.”
I’m not sure what my favorite thing about this is. Red Bull cans in red, smoking the essence of your son (?), or fucking pull tabs on the cans. Can you inject meth?
Also, I’m confused as to who is who here, needs more labels.

My center-left Dem friends basically think the same way as Nate. Lots of “That could never happen here.”
My favorite thing is keep lowering the expectations for Biden’s debate performance. Only good for Biden.
Unless he does a Ron Paul and literally strokes out on camera. In 2020 that shit is to be expected.
Great. No toilet paper for a month again.
Shut up, nerd.
Trump being a legit size medium is the most unrealistic thing by far.
Nvm found out the information was bullshit lol
We’d basically be drawing dead if a bunch of these swing states had Republican governors though, not just for this but a lot of reasons.

It’s a huge relief to know that one of the last lines of defense for democracy will be temporary workers making $12/hour:
I guess it’s encouraging to know that they seem confident the counting will be over by 11/13 (AZ).
I’m sure when Barr’s goons show up with automatic weapons, $12/hr leaves a lot of room to be a fucking hero.
Yes I borrowed that joke.

I’m fortunate that in NH we have the simple “Take the marker, fill in the circles, feed your ballot into the scanning machine on the way out.”

I guess this is potentially good news? Seems like we want them to have to use paper ballots.
