24 Hours of Republican Desperation
"Instead of throwing up your hands, why don't you tell me what you're trying to tell me..."
We're 24 hours away from polls opening, and the Republicans are doing everything they can to make sure as few people as possible show up to vote. Harassing robocalls in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. The NRCC recognizes the only way they can try to win is by breaking the law and harassing voters. First - haven't the Republicans learned that fucking with phones is a great way to go to jail - ESPECIALLY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE??!!?? Second - are they so morally bankrupt that they have to resort to felonious tactics in a desperate effort to maintain their slim grasp of power.
There are suppression efforts here in Virginia as well. We've already had reports of longtime Arlington voters being called and told if they attempt to vote in Virginia this year they will be arrested. Friday night I had a personally surreal moment. I was checking out at Best Buy having picked up a birthday present for a friend of mine, when the cashier asked me if I was excited for the elections on Thursday. This was exceptionally bizarre because I wasn't wearing ANY campaign paraphernalia - just my regular uniform of a t-shirt, jeans, and a smile. The clerk had no reason to know he was talking to a politico. I immediately corrected him, and tried to find out if someone had told him that. He wasn't sure so I let it go at that point. I did however, make a quick call to our party's counsel to make sure he was aware.
So, in short, if anyone is aware of any incidents in Virginia that they have not yet reported - I have a direct line to those who need to know. Contact me - mike [ at ] mikesager.net. Voting is a sacred right - and no Republican criminal is going to deny us that right.
Go. Fight. Win.
