Voters getting nasty emails<\/b><\/p>\n

October 21st<\/sup>, 2020<\/i><\/p>\n

Voters have been reporting that they have been getting threatening emails that if they vote for Biden, great harm will come to them and their families. It isn\u2019t just campaign persiflage; these are direct, criminal threats of physical harm Apparently the threatening emails are fairly widespread, and today the DNI director and the head of the FBI had a press conference that was an exercise in strange behavior from a strange government.<\/p>\n

According to them, foreign actors\u2014Iran and possibly Russia\u2014had gotten hold of voter registration rolls and run mail merge to mass send these emails. It\u2019s isn\u2019t technologically difficult\u2014the polls can be requested at the offices of most country clerks, and any junior in a high school computer class to convert the listings to a database file and mail merge them. It\u2019s a bit surprising it hasn\u2019t happened before now, really. I remember in 2004 it crossed my mind to do that sort of thing\u2014not to threaten and intimidate anyone, but just as a get-out-the-vote thing. But back then a lot of voters didn\u2019t yet have emails, and those were the very ones the Dems wanted to contact to vote. Now, of course, both local Parties are presumably maintaining emailing lists for legitimate purposes.<\/p>\n

At least some of the emails claimed to be from the Proud Boys, although at this point there\u2019s no evidence that they were involved.<\/p>\n

The DNI director, John Ratcliffe, made the somewhat odd assertion that the threats were meant to harm the Trump campaign. Adam Schiff flat out wondered it that was \u201cRatcliffe spin or the assessment of the analysts.\u201d The New York Times was of the opinion that the emails were more general in nature, meant to scare voters and undermine the entire voting process. It might be illuminative to determine which voters were targeted, and in what numbers. If all the emails started with \u201cIf you vote for Biden…\u201d then it\u2019s safe to assume that the people behind the emails were working on Trump\u2019s behalf. Trump supporters might argue that it was a false-flag effort designed to make Trump look bad, but since when did Trump mind looking bad in the name of deceit?<\/p>\n

But for now, we don\u2019t know, and we should just assume that it\u2019s nonpartisan fuckery. The truth will come out in due course. As for who sent the emails, I\u2019m guessing the true address would be something ending in \u201c.ru\u201d. That would explain why Trump himself hasn\u2019t had anything to say about the mailings.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s supposed to be a second debate tomorrow, but it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess if Trump will show up. Apparently he\u2019s furious that they\u2019ll be using a mute button so he can\u2019t simply try to scream down Biden. Each candidate will be muted during his opponent\u2019s two minute response to the moderator\u2019s questions. Trump can\u2019t imagine American peons making him behave.<\/p>\n

Senator Chuck Schumer announced that the Dems will boycott the committee voting on the Barrett nomination, denying the Republicans a quorum. Chances are McConnell will just steamroll over the Senate rules in his mad drive to put any old nut on the court who will negate the power of the people. Barrett\u2019s cult, People of Power, is so toxic that even the magazine that represents the National Catholic Churches said she was a poor choice for the Court and asked the Senate to hold off until after the new government is seated in January. That vote is supposed to take place tomorrow. In the meantime, new allegations of trauma and sexual abuse appeared against Barrett\u2019s cult. Vicious stuff, Jim Jones-type stuff.<\/p>\n

And the fuckery continues. In Florida, the most corrupt state in America, the Republican government announced a new sweep of the voting rolls, designed to eliminate anyone who had any debt to anyone related to a felony conviction. This despite a state law that forbid removal of anyone from voter eligibility within 40 days of an election. Republicans, former Americans, don\u2019t give a shit about the law; they just want to maintain power.<\/p>\n

In one of the weirdest twists of an already psychotic year, Rudy Giuliani apparently was conned into a compromising position with a woman he had been persuaded was an underage girl. The movie, released later this week, apparently shows him fondling himself in front of a supposed minor. Or at least he thought she was a minor. She\u2019s an actress, Maria Bakalova, who is supposedly the daughter of Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) and Giuliani is seen reaching down his pants and playing with himself, and Borat bursts in on the pair, shouting, \u201cShe\u2019s 15. She\u2019s too old for you.\u201d Sigh. America\u2019s mayor has seen better days, it has to be said.<\/p>\n

And Barack Obama hit the campaign trail on Biden\u2019s behalf, blistering Trump, pointing out that he\u2019s not going to protect America from COVID when he can\u2019t even protect himself. He noted that if Biden and Harris were in the White House, Americans wouldn\u2019t have to worry about what crazy bullshit our leaders pulled today. (Yes, I\u2019m paraphrasing Obama on that one. He actually said \u201ccrazy things they said every day.\u201d Not the most flattering thing anyone\u2019s ever said about the leader of the free world, right?).<\/p>\n

The national polls are holding steady with Biden showing a 10+ point lead. State polls are more muddied, partly because they have smaller pools of voters, and as a result the MoE can be from 3 to 5 points. And voter intent in those polls can be less certain as well, especially in swing state.<\/p>\n

No matter what you get in your email, no matter how much your republican state governments try to mess with your right to vote, no matter how bad the polls look, vote. If Trump can\u2019t steal your country, he can\u2019t steal your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
