An hour on hold — plus an hour with California State COVID operators who are NOT told where vaccines are available. Operators have to go through EACH of more than 200 Zip code files to find an opening. latimes.com/projects/calif…
New jab sites are not yet open in low-income areas for health workers 2 months after vaccine approval and 6 months after we knew vaccines would need DISTRIBUTION.
And the website is impossible for the non-computer-savvy folks over-75s who are most in danger.
A third of California’s #COVID vaccine supply is unused and friends in Santa Cruz are sitting in the dark because the Governor still kowtows to PG&E, the criminal electric company. The recall of Gov Gavin Newsom is not a partisan issue, it’s SELF-DEFENSE. wsj.com/articles/calif…

Insider reveals that before Trump urged supporters to march on Capitol, the White House was warned by rally organizers there was no permit for a march, that they'd promised DC Police there would be no march, and that such a march was dangerous. gregpalast.com/insider-white-…#DCRIOTS
“It’s something we advocated against doing for exactly the reasons that ended up playing themselves out,” says source inside Women for America First, the organization that held the permit for the DC rally. #DCRIOTSgregpalast.com/insider-white-…
Even more damning, the march Trump set in motion was led and promoted by ultra-right, violence-threatening extremist #AliAlexander, head of Stop the Steal.
Which Georgian has had their voting rights suppressed the most? @TheDailyShow's @DesiLydic and @roywoodjr host America’s Got Suppression to find out.
Contestant #1 is @johntalsr, who had to wait in line for 11 hours to vote. Long lines are a key trick in the GOP's election fraud book. gregpalast.com/the-long-histo…
Contestant #2 is Christine Jordan, the 94-year-old cousin of Martin Luther King Jr. who's been casting her ballot at the same voting center since 1968. But when she went to vote in 2018, she was told there was no record of her ever voting in any election. gregpalast.com/92-year-old-ge…
BREAKING: We're suing the State of #Georgia for violating the National Voter Registration Act and wrongfully purging 198,000 citizens from the rolls. Our goal is to get these voters reinstated so they can vote in the Jan 5 #SenateRunoff election. gregpalast.com/georgia-lawsui…
Summary: The state of Georgia wrongly cancelled the voter registrations of voters because they supposedly moved—but they had not. Specifically, the state said that thousands of voters had submitted Change of Address forms—but the USPS says they did not. gregpalast.com/georgia-lawsui…
For those of you who wanted to see Donald Trump skedaddled from the White House, this is the week you should be celebrating #Thanksgiving giving thanks to Indigenous peoples for giving Biden the White House. gregpalast.com/gop-trail-of-t…
Indigenous voters provided the margin for Biden in Wisconsin, Nevada & Arizona.
Confession: I’m the one who suggested to Hugo Chavez that he buy a U.S. voting machine company. I was half joking that an honest vote count in America would produce a less bellicose government.
The idea was to develop a machine that would print out a ballot to put in a lock box to allow for a verified recount. That’s what they used in Venezuela.
But Rudy’s fantasy that Chavez could somehow sneak in some software that would wait around 7 years after Hugo died just to elect Biden, (who, btw, wants to overthrow the Chavista government) is a bit too sci-fi for me.
Under the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, if no candidate gets 270 Electoral votes, the election goes straight to the House of Representatives. Nope, Nancy Pelosi does not pick the President. It’s one state, one vote. gregpalast.com/3-constitution…
Right now, Republicans hold 26 delegations, Dems 23 (there’s one tied). If Trump maneuvers us into a XIIth Amendment vote, we’ll be whistling, Hail to the Thief. gregpalast.com/3-constitution…
