1. And do tell . .

are these blue areas?

[ancianita]

2. I can't say. Here's the latest from Ballotpedia.

6. For FLorida, they put a $ in front of the number of Republican registered voters

How appropriate!

[PatSeg]

3. But, but he said he didn't order that!

And apparently doesn't know who did.

5. It's called "on one's watch" for a reason.

He gives the same excuse Trump does about cv -- "I take no responsibility." "It is what it is."
All the privatizers under Trump are used to never being accountable in their private sector world.

[PatSeg]

16. I have a feeling

that DeJoy had no idea what he'd signed on for and like you said, he thought it would be like running a private business without oversight or accountability. He didn't come across as terribly smart either. Wonder how long he'll last.

[ancianita]

19. Looks like as long as Trump does.

[PatSeg]

20. I'm not sure he'll last that long

If and when Trump loses the election, I have a feeling DeJoy will jump ship, if not before then.

[ancianita]

21. We can't be sure, can we.

[PatSeg]

22. Not with these clowns

I often forget that they really aren't like most people.

7. Wow. Thanks.

[ancianita]

8. And this issue started from MT, where only one city had machines removed! Weird.

Thanks for the important map visual.

9. Somebody tell me why the hell the House cannot just drag Dejoy's ass into jail. The crime has been

committed!!

[ancianita]

12. Pretty sure House Oversight doesn't have firing power.

Congressional oversight refers to the review, monitoring, and supervision of federal agencies, programs, activities, and policy implementation. ... Congress's oversight authority derives from its “implied” powers in the Constitution, public laws, and House and Senate rules.

They can recommend to someone like an Inspector General, but those have gotten fired in record numbers, as we know.

10. just put them back in place and plug them in..that is if they arent destroyed..

..wenatchee washington did and they are a pretty reddish purple area...

[ancianita]

11. I read somewhere that for most states, they were removed and destroyed?

Washington probably stepped in in time, but I don't think the others stopped their sorter removals.

I guess there'll be some drip drip reporting on what happened to them.

13. Really looks to me like, THESE ARE the states we are concerned about?

They are really fucking us over! DO NOT depend on mailing ANYTHING in THESE states!!

[LisaL]

17. Yep.

Sure looks this way.

[Bayard]

14. Criminal

[ancianita]

15. In spirit. I just wish there were explicit laws that could be proven as broken.

18. I think we know what the 8 phonecalls with Putin are about

I swear, he talks to Putin more than I did my old High School girlfriend.
