    I enjoy how everyone just kinda ignores the fact that the ones trying to stop people from voting are always the Republicans.

      Do we though? It’s not even as if they deny it, the Republicans are on record saying they don’t like high turnout. They know they’re unpopular and losing ground to demographics over time because they’re so racist, misogynistic, and phobic. They aren’t interested in the real America, they’re not even interested in democracy anymore. Vance is an actual monarchist.

      “The county voted for Democrat Joe Biden over Trump by 14 percentage points in the 2020 election. Biden defeated Trump in Georgia in 2020.”

      If it were a Republican county, they would be demanding all ballots be counted.
