When you say the immoral quiet part out loud

Brian Kemp & Rick Scott both use an “exact match” system when deciding whether to count ballots. This includes even subtle changes in one’s *signature*. Here’s Trump’s signature from 2015 to 2017. In their system, even Trump’s ballot would be tossed. Count. Every. Vote.

100 years after end of WWI, “the leprosy of nationalism,” as Macron calls it, is loosed on world again. I pray—w/no expectation that my prayer will be answered—that Trump will pause during his visit to France to contemplate what happened in 1914 and why.

Trump claims election fraud, tells me, “There’s a lot of crooked stuff going on.” But when I press him whether there’s any evidence, he deflects: “I don’t know. You tell me.”


As a CEO, Rick Scott oversaw a multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud - the biggest in American history resulting in 14 felonies and a $1.7 billion fine. What makes you think that as Governor, he wouldn’t steal a few thousand votes by shutting down the count?


Robert Mueller has been unanimously confirmed by the Senate 4 times for 3 DOJ positions. He doesn’t require Senate confirmation now, but @realDonaldTrump’s ignorant comments make passing bipartisan legislation to protect the Special Counsel’s investigation even more important.
