It is actually simple.
First, I am a HUGE fan of the people assigned in Georgia to count votes. I am not a huge fan of the Georgia office of the governor. For years they have been closing down voting locations in Black counties and reducing staff to register voters and count votes, and the counties themselves have not been able to make up, and sometimes do not want to make up, the lost capacity.
If you are Dekalb you have half the voting capacity and counting capacity of the white counties around you. And yes, this is on purpose.
The results though have been haunting the power brokers in Georgia. Georgia elections swing right as the white counties vote and count in record lighting speed, then they watch as the Black counties slowly come in and eventually, if tonight is an example, topple the apple cart.
Of course our Quisling in Chief and his fascist minions will claim that this man is at fault.
Brad Raffensperger is not a perfect man. He has at times ignored the process by which the state executive makes it difficult for Blacks to vote. To his credit though, that evil stuff is legal and he is not in a position to change it. What he is responsible for is seeing a legal, fair, competent vote is conducted.
This man deserves all of your praise and prayers. His family is under constant death threats, some from police officials and members of government that cannot be prosecuted. He was threatened with jail by the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. He has been told this is it for political career, he will never work again.
This man is a hero who is tonight watching over a counting of votes to assure democracy lives on in our country. And my fine Democrat friends, he is a conservative Republican. Not all of us are fascists.
