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.

Was to block people from voting, period.

Because they know high turnout favors Dems.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I like your lawsuits idea tho.

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!
