Alternative facts

It turns out that just about every official responsible for voting in all of the states has made the same statement. Of course it is reasonable to expect that Democrats would lie, but why would a Republican.

I wholeheartedly agree. In the extremely polarized political context over the last 15-20 years, people appear to be uninterested in general (at least at a national level - political parties and media) in trying to understand those with whom they disagree.

On a personal day-to-day level, any effort to better understand where other people around you are coming from (to "put yourself in their shoes") just makes life easier, or at the least much less frustrating.

(CNN)South Dakota Republicans on Thursday repealed a historic anti-corruption law approved by voters in a statewide referendum on Election Day.

The measure, which passed with more than 51% backing in November, would have created an independent ethics commission, limited lobbyist gifts to lawmakers, banned officials from joining lobbying firms for two years after leaving office and created so-called "Democracy vouchers" for registered voters to steer toward their preferred candidates.
But state GOP lawmakers said they didn't think voters knew what they were doing.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard, a Republican, signed the repeal bill on Thursday night. In a budget address delivered after the November referendum, he claimed the public had been "hoodwinked by scam artists who grossly misrepresented these proposed measures."
Republican legislators pushed the bill using an "emergency" clause that allows for the reversal to take effect immediately and now prevents voters from initiating a new referendum campaign in response.

LET'S BE EXCRUCIATINGLY CLEAR - ANY TIME THE GOP UTTERS THE WORDS "VOTER FRAUD" WHAT THEY ACTUALLY MEAN IS WE NEED COVER AND AN EXCUSE TO CURTAIL MINORITY VOTING RIGHTS IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE. PERIOD.

KAC should get some sleep-her brain is addled.

She needs more than sleep. Maybe joining AA would help.
