Happy VP day!! We made it! And it’s 91 days until the election!

Joyce Vance’s The Week Ahead is always a great read. In this one she covers a bunch of GA stuff with election shenanigans and what safeguards are in place. Great advice here: “Many people are concerned that local election officials in red states will simply refuse to certify results for Democratic candidates. Voting guru Marc Elias has written an excellent piece explaining that while this has happened in the past, Republican election deniers are better organized this year and are likely to do more of it. Because there is no legal basis for them to do so, lawsuits typically produce results necessary to certify the elections using whatever method is proscribed by local law. But it does require work by dedicated groups of lawyers, and we are fortunate to have them. This will play out across the country during election season.

For each of us, the mantra needs to be: register, make sure you remain registered, vote, and make sure your vote gets counted. And help the people around you do the same thing. This is a great week to work on that because, after the 90th day before the election, registered voters cannot be removed from the active voter rolls. Take a screenshot to prove your status! This nifty countdown to the election clock tells us that Wednesday will be the 89th day, so make a note on your calendar to check your status, remind the people around you to do the same, and encourage those who aren’t already registered to go ahead and get it done! You can use websites like vote.gov or IWillVote.com to register and check your status.” https://tinyurl.com/55ruuahp

And Jenna Ellis flipped in AZ. I know we already know that. It just makes me really happy. https://tinyurl.com/5z972bnh

So let’s all celebrate that shiny new VP pick. Whoever she picks is going to be great. No threatening Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else. Do your thing, but keep it between the lines.
