Apparently this initiative has been part of the Obama administration efforts since 2015. What happened to stall it since then?

Panic in “R Town” to breakup districts that vote Democratic

The fly in the syrup is that it may seriously backfire as population migrations and demographics coupled with aggressive lawsuits could cause a loss of Republican seats. It has happened before when the “hogs got greedy” and the courts saw through the charade.
Republicans really don’t want anyone to know what happened on 1/6.
No independent commission (even after McCarthy got everything he asked for) and now trying to sabotage a House investigation. The new GOP calendar show 1/5 and 1/7. Nothing more to see here, it was just a tour group that was attacked by a rogue Black officer as they were opening the doors to the chambers. Charles Boyer is smiling from his grave.
Michigan Republican Senate report on election fraud: there wasn’t any…as in zip, nada, zero.
“In an interview after the meeting, McBroom [Republican Senator and main author of 55 page report] said the committee has found what appears to be “potentially fraudulent activity” among some individuals who have been making false claims about the election.”
“If you are profiting by making false claims, that’s pretty much the definition of fraud,” McBroom said.
So by this Republican position, Trump and his minions who are perpetuating the election fraud lie in Michigan are committing fraud. And Trump has profited 100’s of millions from donors based on this fraud. Most of the GOP caucus that loves the ex-president are trying to “profit” by donations and campaign positions.
The Big Lie is just that. Of course Trump loyalists will believe anything the fat golfer says, so the report is going to fall on deaf ears and blind eyes. The proof? Those same Michigan Senate Republicans have proposed 39 new election laws to combat fraud. Fraud that never happened.
This is like debunking the flat earth theory, but erecting a fiancé on the horizon to keep people from falling off the edge.
Political violence approved by a majority of Republicans.
“In a survey by the conservative American Enterprise Institute after the riot in January, 56% of Republicans agreed that “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.”
In the same poll, 79% of Republicans said they still had a favorable view of Trump — and 36% said “very favorable.”
I guess it makes sense. Despite trying to overturn the election through violence, recruiting gangs, attacking our electoral system as rigged and fraudulent for 5 years, the Big Lie, extorting Republican office holders whom he did not deem loyal, etc., #45 is still their strongman.
Questions: who fires the first shot, at whom, and why?
Maricopa voting data files in a home somewhere in Montana.
Apparently a one man company has taken possession of the data files.
“A copy of the election data from Maricopa County’s servers and hard drives was sent by controversial contractor CyberNinjas to the Montana home of a technology company president who accused the county of deleting a voter database.”
No observers allowed. Just an 800 pound man in a bed with voter data files of 2.1 million Americans and bags of Cheetos. 😇
Arizonans can rest easy now. 😇😇😇
Republican populism, vaccinations and DeSantis.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/06/08/republicans-business-desantis-cruise/
DeSantis sign executive orders and legislative bill to prevent cruise lines from requiring vaccinations for crew and passengers.
“Del Rio ( Norwegian Cruise Lines Holding CEO) told investors that federal law will likely override DeSantis’s refusal to permit businesses to require proof of vaccination. But if it does not, Norwegian may move its ships from Miami to the Caribbean.” Gosh, between tariffs and other anti-business moves, which party is trying to control the means of production.
The article is about the new found populism in the GOP. Hawley (“raised fist approval of 1/6 assault guy”) pushing $15 minimum wages through a federal bill he is sponsoring among other anomalies of the “new” Republican message.
Better than Dr. Seuss whining, I suppose.
Oregon legislator let’s in mob and tells them his plan ahead of time.

It is getting increasingly clear that many, or most, Republicans don’t respect or love, or even like, our nation anymore. They actively betray our values and resort to violence to cause our demise. I am sure that some of the scum in Congress aided and abetted the attackers on 1/6. Oregon was not a one off, but rather the beginning. And it was almost a dress rehearsal for the attempted autogolpe.
Time to get rid of the pure GOP garbage that is trying to set up a dictatorship. What now? “They have no choice” excuse again? Trump got the racist gangs excited and now we put up with this kind of crap.
Findings about 1/6 are revealing more questions than answers.
It would seem at the very least that a president would be kept informed about these serious security issues revealed around the weeks and months of internet chatter regarding violence at an event he organized, even through a proxy, and would be the featured speaker.
My conclusion was that the administration knew the hundreds of people armed and dressed in tactical gear were not a threat to the president. They were his “stand by” gangs. His men and women ready to do his bidding. No surprises except the president’s reluctance to end it all immediately once the fighting began.
AZ Recount being considered…again.
https://www.newsmax.com/politics/recount-audit-maricopa-arizona/2021/05/30/id/1023277/
“Arizona Senators are considering hiring a California-based nonprofit to analyze ballot images and create a third set of numbers to compare with the recount from Dominion Voting Systems machines and the hand recount being conducted by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm in charge of the current audit.”
This reminds me of a political version of this humorous T-Shirt:
“Floggings will continue until morale improves.”
I believe that if this additional efforts takes flight, there will have been 6 recounts, audits, paper shuffling, hand wringing and general low IQ proof that the GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump, Inc.
