You can tell that Republicans don't believe they can win next month's election without cheating.
In 2016, with Vladimir Putin's help, they were cheaters extraordinaire, and the Trumpsters are doing absolutely nothing to bolster America's election security this year — something that seems to us like treason on top of treason. At this point we're not sure what the Russians might be doing to keep Republicans in power after the midterms, but you can bet it's something.
Meanwhile, the GOP continues its familiar litany of incredibly effective tactics — like throwing people off the voter rolls. This is happening in multiple states, but the latest poster children include North Dakota, which has disenfranchised Native American voters courtesy of the newly Kavanaugh-ed Supreme Court, and Georgia, whose Secretary of State just happens to be running as the Republican nominee for Governor.
That dude, Brian Kemp — locked in a tight race with Democrat Stacey Abrams — is blocking the voting registrations of 53,000 Georgians, the vast majority of them African-American. He's not even trying to hide it, is he? (And the fact that he shares a last name with a man who was one of the most racially progressive Republicans is a depressing coincidence. May Jack Kemp rise from the grave and haunt him this Halloween.)
Now, the cheating is extending to stealing lawn signs. The homemade gem pictured above was confiscated by police in Hamilton, Texas, on the orders of Sid Miller, the Agriculture Commissioner, who's up for re-election next month. Seriously.
We'd like to think that this frantic move by Miller means that he secretly knows his party is toast. Because with a post-Kavanaugh gender gap of 30 points, he'd be right. We cats PURR.
