My short burst of optimism has pretty much evaporated.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court still has not issued a ruling on Trump's attempt to disenfranchise over 200,000 voters because, well, because he didn't like who they voted for.
This concerns me. Not because there are 10 electoral votes at stake but because the case seems to fly in the face of basic principles of fairness.
Even if the election commission screwed up, how can you punish people who thought they were doing the right thing.
Should the Supreme Court rule even partially in Trump's favor you know that victory will be held up as definitive proof of widespread fraud even though the suit doesn't claim fraud but administrative errors.
In Michigan there are apparently credible threats of violence and the Michigan electors are being given armed guards.
The electors will meet tomorrow and cast their votes. Normally no one even notices. This year it's high drama.
This is seriously fucked up.
