    I got a text message from the DNC bragging about how they were suing the DOJ for this and saying “if Trump tries to send armed agents to polling stations, we’ll know about it”. Motherfuckers we already know about it, the point is to fucking stop it.

      They still think they can morally shame the fascists into being good again. They are unable to see or accept that simply saying “that’s wrong” or “that’s against the rules” has never stopped a fascist in all of history.

    This is like the most American headline I’ve read in a while.

    How about actual legal action, suing just means you get money

      Suing doesn’t mean you get money, it means you open a complaint and request judgement. Sometimes the judgement results in someone getting money, but not always. If you read the article, you’d see they are suing in order to compel the administration to comply with 11 FOIA requests.

      The DNC said the court must now enforce FOIA requirements “to ensure that the American people obtain timely knowledge of potential threats to free and fair elections and to enable the DNC to take appropriate action to ensure voting rights are protected.”

    I heard they also want to hold the elections on a working day. Insane.

      We get a half-day off so we can go vote in my country.

      I walk 350m up the street to the Legion hall, wait in line for 10 min, mark my paper ballot and drop it in the slot. It’s over fast: half-hour, tops.

      I think we have a rule that we have to have a polling booth for every X people, and it’s gotta be in the same postal code or something. But I also cheat, as I’m working from home near where they gotta be, so it’s faster than normal.
