Forty years of underground growth makes noxious weeds hard to get rid of. Thankfully CA (and maybe NJ) are aware and can use weed spray. For the love of Democracy, I hope they do it and succeed, but it's on us to make sure as many voters as possible are aware of the situation and are loud about it. Daylight makes things that live under rocks scurry away. Get to sharing, fellow Edge walkers!

Exactly right. This is practice for next year. Here's the plan for 2026:

1. Send DOJ personnel to all polling places in blue states in 2026

2. Say there's credible threats against DOJ so they need armed personnel

3. Send in ICE agents because national guard won't be as easy.

4. Same agents actual intent is to scare all people of color away from polling places.

The government's push to end mail in ballots will grow stronger in the coming months (after this November) to force people to "show up" and prove identity for anyone who’s name has an accent or hyphen.

I’m sure it’s in the new addendum of Project 2025.

NJ here. Would love to know what we can do to shut the door. Perhaps all voting should be mail in. Never let the ballots out of sight of "poll watchers" of both parties. they can't show up at everyone's house.

It seems we have the what to do figured out but not the how to do it part.

That's exactly why the Republigoons what to ban vote-by-mail. As someone once said, "Fight, fight fight" and light, light, light. As Yvonne said, "Daylight makes things that live under rocks scurry away."

I'm feeling like we're on a runaway train.

Who is Harmeet Dhillon and why does her involvement in this seem like an oxymoron? The Feds have no business in non-federal politics and elections so why are they spending money to meddle? Maybe we’ll get lucky and they won’t have any budget dollars to throw at this needless project. “Needless” but for Trump’s ego and future lying and bragging about stolen elections.

Tell your GOP House and Senate folks to be heroes and help stop this Orange menace.
