@CNN

So heard a Texas legislator defend his #voting bill on @CNN this morning by countering “well how much fraud do you think is acceptable” even after being confronted with the study indicating that recent research has uncovered less than 20 instances of voting fraud.

So if any potential for voting fraud is a reason for Republicans to act in such an aggressive manner then I hope they will rethink their tolerances in other area?

Science has shown us that there are levels of contamination to drinking water that do not pose a threat to human health, but Republicans if zero potential for voting fraud is the goal shouldn’t that be the goal for arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals in drinking water?

Don’t tell me that we need to make voting more difficult. Where is your proof that will improve democratic participation? #idleg #idpol

Here in Idaho where the House Majority leader proclaimed that “it shouldn’t be easy to vote” because someone had shared a Facebook Story or Meme about ballot harvesting.

Friends and Family,

If you are going to share stories, memes, thoughts on Georgia’s recently adopted voting law changes, including criticism of critics, I ask that you do a little research and you give a little thought before doing it. /1 #voting #GA #votingrights #racism

There are provisions of the Georgia law that do make permanent certain changes there that were implemented in response by COVID. Every state should implement those elements. /2

And if it were actually about voter ID then that issue has been fully vetted and addressed by the Courts regarding what is appropriate and constitutional. /3

@KamalaHarris is the best of America. You don’t have to agree with her, but if you don’t respect her, you don’t respect America.

Buckle Up. This is going to be long, and it is going to be about #COVID /1

Two weeks ago, my wife came down with what we had assumed was a cold she had picked up from our 16 year old. He had been congested, had a headache, and was over it in 3 days. /2

She had a headache, congestion, fatigue, no fever, so it isn’t COVID, is it. She wanted to make sure I could sleep, so she decamped to the guest room. She has been there for two weeks. /3

Be grateful for the 20th Amendment’s adoption in 1933 #history

By reducing the Presidential lame duck period by moving the date of the Inauguration from March 4th to January 20 there is six less weeks for mayhem #history

And the 20th Amendment also moved the term of the incoming Congress from March 4th to January 3rd which also reduces the Lame Duck period for Congress #history
