Republicans: direct Russian ratfucking in elections should be rewarded because it acts in our favor
By 
The contempt that contemporary elite Republicans have for basic democratic values has been made clear many times, from Shelby County to extreme partisan gerrymanders to the failure to convict Trump after 1/6 (and then run him again.) But this is as egregious as anything:
The Republican National Committee and the Georgia Republican Party have filed a motion to halt a judge’s order allowing extended hours at six DeKalb County, Georgia, polling sites after they were evacuated earlier tonight because of bomb threats. The filing says the claims made by DeKalb election officials in a court filing requesting extended hours are “unverified and are not accompanied by an affidavit supporting the factual assertions.”
The lawsuit was filed by Alex Kaufman, an Atlanta-area attorney who was involved in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia. The lawsuit comes hours after a federal judge slammed Kaufman for his role in a “legally incorrect” lawsuit over absentee ballots.
Of course, the larger problem is that large numbers of Americans is OK with this too, and North Carolina being called for Trump narrows Harris’s path to avert catastrophe.
