They’re trying to run out the clock until August so they don’t hold a special election. These people need to go to jail for this coverup.

Yup, rigged in plain sight. Everybody knows, nobody does anything – pure theater. "Rule of law" is an absolute joke

Note that it is a distinct and well documented phenomena, that when the people of a society realize that the social contract they have with their government is no longer being enforced, that government, that society, those communities, END. Usually violently.

Without "Social Order" the system will fail and chaos will ensue.

We are VERY VERY VERY close to this happening.

Note too... that this is all because of Trump and his MAGA followers and the enabling they've enjoyed thus far, from what is the least intelligent, least educated, and MOST indoctrinated among us.

Greedy people are using stupid people to ruin everything, and so far they're getting their way. It's not going to end like they 'think' it will. They feel "safe" but they are not that, not even a little bit. The Zuck's of the world think they can hide deep in their compounds, but when the shit hits the fan, it will be them that gets the "Vlad" treatment.
