Pay overtime, get better help, work late, demand better.

Why hasn\u2019t the media insisted on knowing the details about the ballots under the table?

At the very least, the law was violated by kicking observers out before the suitcases were unloaded. https://t.co/JuLLasMdCR
Fact: Clark County officials threw out a County Commissioners\u2019 race (158k votes) because they didn\u2019t trust the process.

Then when the Trump campaign filed suit to throw out the whole ballot (not just one race) they flipped their decision and certified the race. @MajorCBS
Fact: 42,000 people voted twice in Nevada.

The judge asked for more proof to this claim - but the ballots and envelopes with signatures are controlled by Clark County officials (Harry Reid allies) and they refuse to allow an inspection.
The judge didn\u2019t care. @MajorCBS
This CBS tweet lacks serious facts:

1\ufe0f\u20e3There\u2019s evidence that these are not \u201cresidents\u201d since they\u2019re in the U.S. Post Office change-of-address registry.
2\ufe0f\u20e3The judge in the case is Stacey Abrams\u2019 sister.
3\ufe0f\u20e3These voters could cast provisional ballots anyway.

It\u2019s past time to clean up the voter rolls, require an ID and enforce residency requirements.

From the guy who argues in court that the voting machines shouldn\u2019t be examined, ballot envelopes & signatures should be hidden and poll watchers and the public should be kept in the dark.

\U0001f6a8 BREAKING: Nevada GOP electors cast ballot for Donald J Trump declaring him winner of 6 Electoral votes in NV.

The lawsuit filed by TX to the Supreme Court & supported by MANY others throughout the US is a very strong, compelling argument in favor of & defending the constitution, law, & LEGAL voters of GA, PA, MI & WI, etc. It's a must read detailing eye-popping, confirmed wrongdoing.

We are extremely disappointed in the NV Supreme\xa0Court's decision this evening. We were not afforded an opportunity to write our brief or argue the case in front of the Court. Full denial of legitimate due process and appellate rights is truly shocking. https://t.co/krnwzKYOmp

Based on evidence obtained from DMV, Trump campaign says they identified almost 4K immigrant voters.
— Victor Joecks (@VictorJoecks) December 9, 2020
I\u2019m guessing these are people who registered to vote while using a green card for identification.
That would be a massive scandal. pic.twitter.com/yb1hjmGr97
The bigger story is that the Nevada Supreme Court gave us 2.5 hours to respond to their outrageous demands.

More from Politics
My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."
Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016." https://t.co/Bl0naOO0sh
"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."
Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”
My conclusion:

My conclusion:
This is partly what makes it impossible to have a constructive conversation nowadays. The stubborn refusal to accept that opposition to Trumpism and GOP nationalism is about more than simply holding different beliefs about things in and of itself. 👇
It's fine for people to hold different beliefs. But that doesn't mean all beliefs deserve equal treatment or tolerance and it doesn't mean intolerance of some beliefs makes a person intolerant of every belief which they don't share.
So if I said I don't think Trumpism deserves to be tolerated because it's just a fresh 21st century coat of cheap paint on a failed, dangerous 20th century ideology (fascism) that doesn't mean I'm intolerant of all beliefs with which I disagree. You'd think this would be obvious.
Another important facet. People who support fascist movements tend to give what they think are valid reasons for supporting them. That doesn't mean anyone is obliged to tolerate fascism or accept their proffered excuse.
Say you joined a neighborhood group that sets up community gardens and does roadside beautification projects. All good, right? Say one day you're having a meeting and you notice the President and exec board of this group are saying some bizarre things about certain neighbors.
No, but you can\u2019t keep labeling half of the country Nazis just because their beliefs are different than yours. Trump has fucked this whole country up in a matter of a few years. No one can even have a constructive conversation without someone getting triggered

Just because some of the politicians act that way doesn\u2019t mean the whole party are Nazis. Some Republicans just vote that way because of abortion. You can\u2019t keep calling all of them Nazis and expect them to just start listening to your points.
