I know many people who should take Vlad up on this most generous offer. Don't know Alex but he should totally go be war fodder hero for Russia.

The offer comes with a free gun and a train ticket to Kursk.

“In Travis County, one person has challenged the registrations of 12,000 people. In Brazos, a group of activists has challenged more than 1,000. Collin, Hays, and Tarrant counties each have seen challenges to the eligibility of more than 10,000 voters.”

Texas election officials are dealing with a flood of challenges to voter registrations Conservative groups and individual activists have targeted tens of thousands of Texans over their eligibility. But state and federal protections are in place.

At this point in the election cycle, voters aren’t at risk of being dropped from the rolls because of a challenge. Under federal law, election officials can’t cancel a voter’s registration in the period 90 days ahead of Election Day, except for voters who voluntarily cancel their registration or who are convicted of a felony.

Still, election officials are required to process the voter eligibility challenges they receive, and act on valid ones. Election administrators in Collin, Travis, Hays, Brazos, Tarrant, and Denton counties and others have been sifting through large volumes of these, which they began receiving in June, targeting thousands of voters.

The large-scale challenge effort is being led by Houston-based right-wing group True the Vote, which has been working for years to purge the rolls of voters it perceives as ineligible ahead of the November presidential election. It’s part of a wave of challenges aimed at voters in several states, including such battlegrounds as Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

The group is using an online tool called IV3 that matches voter data with change-of-address records from the U.S. Postal Service. Activists relying on that tool have been delivering stacks of challenges to election offices, or emailing election administrators with spreadsheets listing voters’ names. True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht did not respond to Votebeat’s request for comment.

Do these people have access to partisan lists so they are only challenging people that are opposite them?  Going by ethnic surnames?  Other?

I never thought I'd say this, but Alex Jones is right. All conservative Americans should move to Russia where they don't have to put up with gross woke communists.

It's like any other data on humans. The main objection is that the address on the voter registration and state-issued ID don't match. They are scraping the available data and overlay that onto the research done to get the lines for the last redistricting and walla there ya go.

Yes, and the data they're using is out of date and they know it, too.

I'd be more than a little pissed if I stood in line to vote, showed all the fucking i.d. they demand, and then told my vote wouldn't be counted until after all my information had been verified.

and when the confusion results in longer lines in those counties, fewer people will vote in those counties.

Steve Kerr and AOC on the schedule tonight. Also Amanda Zurawski and her husband - she's one of the women who Abbott tortured and attempted to murder with his abortion law. 

Also performances by James Taylor in addition to Jason Isbell. (edit, Mickey Guyton too but I've never heard of her...country music)

"I'm just so thrilled that we have competent, human beings who are for the whole country, and not just half the country," is a great line.

That's a lot of fire for day 1. The bench is very strong. I hope Uncle Joe gets a nice long standing ovation. What a service he did for his country. 

I believe that Biden was only going to run because he felt he was the Democrats and Democracy's best hope.  Once he saw that there were better options, he stepped aside.

In other words, conservative activists are engaged in a primitive form of DDOS attack against the voting system.

Along this line, Georgia Republicans are making it very clear they will not certify a Harris victory should it happen. Harris is in a tough position. She has to contest the state for variety of reasons but it also can't be counted on at all. Any path to victory hinging on Georgia as the tipping point is implausible.

I think knocking Trump off finally -- and hopefully, incarcerating him shortly after -- will forever kill off the MAGA movement, at least as a viable political force in this country. They've got nobody with Trump's starpower to pick up the torch and run with it. His base will become disinterested again.

It's going to be weird - they are going to be angry, and while the Dems will be the ones who beat them, they'll probably go after any Republicans who talk of moving on from Trump. The Dems are the evil Dems. Republicans who want to move on from Trump are actual traitors.

Without Peter Cetera.

The whole world is watching.

Hall & Oates won't be there - the restraining order won't let them within 500 feet of each other so it's doubtful they could be in the same building/arena.

I'm going to guess that most/all of the 12,000 people they challenged are living east of I-35.

Or college students who change addresses once or twice between major elections.

Oh yeah, I have heard of her. I read about her and a couple other Black women of country music a couple months ago. She makes some amazing music. Born in Arlington and grew up all over Texas, ftr.

Kerr is great, but Popovich would be better.

This will end extremely poorly for them when Georgia isn't necessary for 270 and Harris Walz wins.

Kerr is more personable and he can also remind everybody that his father was the victim of gun violence. Pop is way too crotchety these days.
