@PikePlaceTechie 1) Yesterday was supposed to be a day of celebration for my middle brother Alex, who got married last night. Instead my family had to deal with the fallout of my youngest brother #MichaelHodge being falsely accused for standing & smiling in front of an indigenous man with a drum 2) People then proceeded to spam my family with harassments and threats of physical violence. We then find out our parents address was posted online. If that wasn’t enough, our family operated business has been slandered and attacked.

As staffing crisis continues for Berkeley police, officers who left reveal why “People say, ‘Fuck the police,’ and that’s fine,” said Shannon. “But over a period of months and years, it does wear on you. It’s not a reason to retire in and of itself, but it has an effect. Even on something innocuous, like a traffic stop, citizens walk up not knowing anything about what’s going on and they start making accusations. You would never walk into some accounting firm and go up to someone at their cubicle and tell them they’re not doing their job right. But there’s this weird sense among residents they know police work and can tell you how to do your job. It becomes a thorn in the side.”

How the Georgia race for governor came down to the wire The fishwrapper had yet another election post mortem. It featured the quote below. This quote does not support the voter suppression narrative. “Roughly 1.14 million African-American voters cast ballots in the election, and exit polls show the overwhelming majority backed Abrams. In 2014, Michelle Nunn’s U.S. Senate campaign earned a total of 1.16 million votes. That means the number of black voters who went to the polls for Abrams in November was nearly equal to the number of all Democratic votes cast four years earlier.”

Here is a piece I wrote about this. I prefer WBTS, because it is a more accurate description of the conflict. When the colonies declared independence, there was no thought given to an all powerful federal government. The conflict of what powers go to the federal government, and which powers go to the state, is one of the defining controversies of our history. When the southern states seceded, the concept of the federal union was not nearly as strong as it it today. Today we take for granted the concept of the strong federal government, with the states being regional governing districts. IMO, we are better off as a federal union. If the south had won the war, we would have wound up like 18th century Europe… a collection of small nations that were constantly at war with one another.

This is not the first time I have held my nose in that cafetorium. ~ The first time I voted for a candidate with whom he fully agreed was when I voted for myself the first time he ran. By the second time I had begun to have my doubts. ~ I am so amazed by people who criticize someone for voting for a “racist” as if that was the only thing that matters. If a person is good on other issues, and someone told you that he was a “racist” for whatever reason, why should you go against your best interests on the other issues and vote against someone who is allegedly a “racist”? You could substitute liberal, or any number of labels, for “racist” and have the same effect. ~ Someone asked a fbf what POTUS he DID like? Before I could post this reply, the comment was taken down…. William McKinley did pretty good in his first term. Unfortunately, he chose the ambitious Teddy Roosevelt for his second term vice president. ~ “It only makes you look like an ass.” This comment is not about Tumblr. It is about the general business of feeling obligated to say something about a situation, good or bad You are not required to have an opinion about everything. You just might make things worse for all concerned by expressing it. ~ The greatest trick that G-d ever played was to convince people that she does not exist. ~ There was a story in RFD once.

Has Anti-Racism Become as Harmful as Racism? John McWhorter vs. Nikhil Singh Here is a blog post about AR. I compare AR to homophobia. Much as a closet homosexual will try to cover his own insecurities by calling someone else faggot, a person who is not sure about his own racial values will try to cover himself by calling his neighbor racist. I received a powerful bit of confirmation for this. I received an anonymous comment. “Why don’t you get your white sheets and come out already” ~ Dr. McWhorter makes a comment about voter suppression, ending at 50:06. He makes the ritual denunciation of Republican voter suppression. As a resident of GA, I have witnessed the recent election from hell. The Democrats made voter suppression their centerpiece issue. I feel that the Democratic claims were exaggerated. It served as a dandy issue for the Democrats, and they almost won. If anyone is interested, I can link to several posts on my blog which detail this. In many ways, voter suppression became a code word for racism in this campaign. One aspect of the racism/anti racism quagmire is the use of racism as a campaign tactic. Anti-Racism was used as a tactic by the Democrats in 2016. IMO, this was one of the reasons Donald Trump was elected.

What Do You Mean By Overseeing?
Exactly what do you mean by “overseeing”? As I understand it, the counties register voters, set up the polls, count the votes, and send the results to the SOS. What does the SOS do? In all probability, the county is responsible for sending drop cords to the polling place, not the state. It would be helpful if you have a source from a government website to detail this. So many people become instant experts when discussing this issue. Another confusing issue is deletion of inactive voters. Is this done by the county, the state, or a combination of the two? If it is a combination, how do we tell who does what? If you look at the various county websites, you will see that the county clearly does registration and counting. This is what Fulton County says. This is one of the counties where voting machines were sequestered in a warehouse, resulting in long lines. ~ Department of Registration and Elections The Registration and Elections Department is responsible for conducting elections in Fulton County and registering voters who reside within Fulton County. ~ Israel’s Netanyahu survives early poll threat ~ election was not stolen ~ Signature mismatches, missing birthdays and errant spouses: Why thousands of absentee ballots were tossed out in Georgia ~ absentee ballots in georgia ~ What You’re Saying When You Say “I Don’t Need a Mic” ~ Hollywood stars revolt after Brian Kemp’s election; Georgia leaders fight back ~ Stacey Abrams calls Kemp Georgia’s ‘legal’ governor, won’t say he’s legitimate ~ Federal judge blocks Georgia ‘exact match’ voter ID law ~ Airbnb drops Israeli settlements from listings ~ 5 things to know about who runs Georgia’s elections ~ In Defense of Puns ~ How to Talk to People, According to Terry Gross ~ Why Airbnb Will Have a Hard Time Enforcing Its Israeli Settlement Ban ~ Stacey Abrams Says She Was Almost Blocked From Voting In Georgia Election ~ stacey last year ~ Voter registration fraud alleged at Democratic-backed group ~ The new New Georgia Project: Stacey Abrams’s $10 million plan to double down on voter registration William Perry, founder of Georgia Ethics Watchdog, believes the lawmaker should make her financial records from her voter registration work public … “It gives cause to worry when there’s someone stirring so many pots … In a perfect world, anything you’re doing that would influence a campaign or an election should be disclosed.

The counties conduct elections, count votes, and register voters. The only thing I can see the SOS doing is maintaining the voter rolls, and totaling the votes from the counties. And, in this election, taking the blame for anything that goes wrong. I have googled this. The only thing I have not found is exactly who is responsible for maintaining the voter rolls. ~ I think they should have a longer grace period, than the current 3 years. However, if you don’t vote, eventually you should be taken off the rolls. ~ Mr. Kemp, are you removing black voters from the voter rolls just so you can win this election? … And these lists are violently racially prejudiced. … He has closed stations in neighborhoods of voters of color, in Atlanta, for example, in the 6th Georgia Congressional District. He will be the one—when people go to the polling stations and find they’ve been purged, and they fill out those provisional ballots, it will be Brian Kemp who decides whether they get counted. Absentee ballots—you just heard how panicked he was about the massive number of absentee ballots coming in from voters of color, from Democrats. And he’s going to be able to decide which of those ballots get counted. ~ This is the story of the mass exodus from Georgia that never happened, and the mass purge of voters by Kemp, GOP candidate for governor, through methods guaranteed to disproportionately take away the vote from the young, the poor and voters of color…. Another expert on our team, Mark Swedlund, is not surprised the postcard trick captures Black and poor voters disproportionately. “It doesn’t shock me at all. Response rates are lower among people of color, in particular among African-American renters,” he said. ~ Because that’s the signal that this heartbreaking story will become the hammer to smash the Kemp-created Jim Crow machine…. More revolutionary is that she is the first Democratic candidate to demand an end to racist ethnic cleansing of the voter rolls. ~ Crashes of Convenience: Michael Hastings ~ Kemp didn’t even bother to hide any of his actions. He used his office to commit voter suppression through propaganda, loopholes and outright lies. He put on a disgraceful masterclass in voter suppression and his legacy as governor should be forever tainted by the well-worn, white supremacist tactics he employed. ~ State officials appear to have singled out black voters in targeted purges. Kemp also canceled or suspended 35,000 voter registrations using Exact Match, a version of Kris Kobach’s notorious Crosscheck program that compares registrants’ information with motor vehicle and Social Security databases. If a single letter, space, or hyphen did not match the database information, the voter application was rejected. Black voters were eight times more likely than whites to have their registrations halted due to Exact Match. ~ pictures today are from The Library of Congress. ~ selah

Team Kemp has an explanation for that: A 2016 lawsuit brought by Common Cause and the NAACP over the state’s voter list temporarily halted the biennial purge of inactive voters. After the lawsuit was thrown out, Georgia had two cycles’ worth of inactive voters to remove from its list. ~ “But without the context and with hyperbolic rhetoric, the claims of voter suppression aren’t much different from the demagoguery Democrats decry from the likes of Kemp and Donald Trump.” ~ Brian Kemp’s Bid for Governor Depends on Erasing the Black Vote in Georgia ~ Uber Eats driver who shot and killed customer found guilty on all counts ~ problems ~ dylan’s masterpiece ~ After the Retail Apocalypse, Prepare for the Property Tax Meltdown ~ herman hesse ~ @realDonaldTrump Congratulations to Brian Kemp on becoming the new Governor of Georgia.

Williams? .@elenaparent ~ If you went to a voting place outside the county where you live, and request a ballot, then that provisional ballot should be thrown away. ~ To me, the issue is the Abrams campaign making a high octane issue out of voter suppression. There is a good bit of nuance there, which gets lost in all the rhetoric. I think Abrams knew a lot of what she was saying was not true, but also saw a potent campaign issue. Another issue is the way her charges were believed without question, both by the voting public and the corporate media. The Media especially should be ashamed.

She knows that this was her one shot and that the DPoG isn’t going to clear the field for her to run for election again, and that she is never going to get this fawning, uncritical coverage from the state and national media that had the effect of free advertising on her behalf, “coverage” that included repeating every charge, accusation and claim as Kemp and treating it as objective fact without challenging it in the slightest. Abrams invested the last 8 years convincing the DPoG that she could create a turnout machine capable of winning the governor’s race that would prevent candidates from having to run to the center-left and the only result was for her to prove her naysayers right. This was the perfect storm: a very unpopular GOP president, angry moderates and independents in the suburbs, the worst GOP statewide candidate since Mitch Skandalakis, a national media willing to make her candidacy a cause celebre and she still lost. So of course she has every incentive to fight, claw and scratch before she makes her inevitable exit – stage left – from public life. But that doesn’t mean that everyone else owes her anything, including being willing to drink her Kool-Aid wholesale and regurgitate it on demand. ~ Suburban Dictionary @Suburban_Dic Feels – Deep personal emotions for people who don’t have time for feelings. ~ @KentWGraham Kids today don’t know how easy they have it.

An analysis of Kemp’s records found that 70 percent of those applicants were black. (Georgia is roughly 32 percent black.) Separately, the Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union found that some 700 absentee-ballot applications and almost 200 absentee ballots were rejected by county officials due to a law mandating that the signatures on absentee applications and ballots visually match the signatures on file. ~ Democrats file lawsuit over Dougherty County absentee ballots ~ Georgia effort to clean up state’s voter rolls underway ~ Georgia cancels registration of more than 591,500 voters ~ why ww1 lasted so long ~ studio 54 ~ poddies ~ Naropa Poetics Audio Archives ~ LENNY BRUCE ON THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW APRIL 5, 1959 ~ Florida, Georgia testing strength of new Dem coalition ~ A Gated Community Tried to Form a New, Whiter Town to Land a Cheesecake Factory ~ Rapper T.I. arrested in Henry County ~ What Is ‘White Privilege’? ~ Dr. Phil’s “White Privilege” Video Goes Wrong ~ Voting a write in candidate is fun. When you click on the write in box, a keyboard appears on the screen. You type in “Carlton Heston” in the GA06 race. Then name then appears on a screen, with a check mark next to it. ~ Justin Flanagan This is a scam link. When clicked it takes me to a virus website. Also please don’t write in stupid crap, the race is close enough as it is. Happy election day! ~ Unfortunately, the website does have issues. As for calling Carlton Heston stupid crap, that is not kind. The GA06 race is sort of a mess. Karen Handel is a sponsor of FOSTA/SESTA. Lucy McBath has sent me telephone surveys, which are in reality campaign calls. I would like to perform the electoral hygiene of voting out Rep. Handel. However, Mrs. McBath uses shady campaign tactics. In addition to that. Mr. Heston has better hair than either Rep. Handel or Mrs. McBath. ~ There is a saying, hold your nose and vote. I vote in the cafeteria of the elementary school i attended as a child. It is not the first time I have held my nose in there. ~ Sorry, we can’t find what you are looking for. Take a deep breath. Everything’s going to be okay. ~ To say that this is Gingrich’s seat is a bit misleading. The district lines change every ten years. My neighborhood is in a different district every ten years. Some parts of GA06 were represented by Mr. Gingrich, but not all. I was never represented by him, which I appreciate. FWIW, Mr. Gingrich originally represented a district based in Carollton, in West Georgia. His constituents were getting tired of him. Mr. Gingrich won an election by less than 1000 votes. Then, new districts were created, and Mr. Gingrich moved to Cobb County, and a newly created district. ~ The phrase “affordable housing” is somewhat of a buzz word. I hear it a lot, and very few specifics. God is in the details. Lets focus on “…Invest Atlanta voted to help fund over 400 units of affordable housing” How is this going to work? Are they rental units, or owner occupied housing? Assuming that they are rental, what can we expect the rent to be? Who is it going to be affordable to? How long will the rent be capped at this level? When the controls come off, what will happen? Will these units be maintained properly? Where is this 400unit_AH going to be built? Affordable housing is a great idea, and it is needed. It needs to be carefully planned if it is going to work. ~ Actually, Mr. Davis was shot after a heated argument. Going off on an armed man is not a good idea. His killer is in prison. Lucy McBath is to be praised for defeating Karen Handel. Her campaign was careful in the way they described the death of Mr. Davis. Tom Robinson should do the same. ~ I am hearing that it is the counties, not the state, that count the votes. I don’t know who processes voter registration, and maintains the voter lists, but I strongly suspect it is the counties. The decision to sequester voting machines was made by Fulton, Dekalb, and Cobb counties. This has been a good issue for the Democrats. They almost won the election because of it. If Mr. Kemp had the political sense to resign after the primary, the Democrats would not have had this issue. ~ Oops! You blew up the Internet.
