Is Gen. Sherman available to burn it all down again?

I think the clear point is win this election or there won't be a chance to win another.

I am very glad the candidate is Abrams, who by all appearances, understood the nature of the fight from the very beginning.

It is worth recalling that Kemp was one of the biggest assholes among the SoS's who pushed back against attempts to present a unified front against Russia's attempts at infiltrating voting systems in 2016.

This Sue Halpern NYer piece is a good overview of that and of the clear deficiencies in Georgia's system. He is a clear enemy of democracy

In August, 2016, when the scope of the Russian hacking effort was becoming clear to President Obama--and as he and his advisers struggled to find a response that would not undermine the legitimacy of the upcoming elections, or provoke the Russians to do more damage, or appear to confirm Trump's assertion that the election was rigged--Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of Homeland Security at the time, suggested designating the American election system as "critical infrastructure," a category that includes bridges and the power grid. This designation would enable D.H.S. to offer cybersecurity support to individual states. And this inflamed Brian Kemp.

Labelling elections as critical infrastructure, Kemp declared, opened the door for the federal government to "subvert the Constitution to achieve the goal of federalizing elections under the guise of security." Georgia is one of only five states that uses voting machines that create no paper record, and thus cannot be audited, and the Center for American Progress has given it a D grade for election security. But, when D.H.S. offered cybersecurity assistance, Kemp spoke out against it. (Georgia has since accepted some help from D.H.S.)

"It seems like now it's just the D.C. media and the bureaucrats, because of the D.N.C. getting hacked--they now think our whole system is on the verge of disaster because some Russian's going to tap into the voting system," Kemp said at the time. "And that's just not--I mean, anything is possible, but it is not probable at all, the way our systems are set up."

The situation in North Dakota is pretty infuriating as well.

This week, the Supreme Court declined to overturn North Dakota's controversial voter ID law, which requires residents to show identification with a current street address. A P.O. box does not qualify. Many Native American reservations, however, do not use physical street addresses.

They literally do not have physical street addresses. As it stands, the only option is for "residents without a street ID [to] contact their county's 911 coordinator to sign up for a free street address and request a letter confirming that address." They are to do this in the next 3 weeks.

Fuckers.

Yes. That one is also making me lose my fucking mind.
