re: #207 Jay C

IMO, the problem will be (as it usually is) in some of the “swing” states (?? WI, MI, NC, AZ, NV??) where the Govs/Lege might be prone to buy into Trumpian election fuckery: though - on a vaguely positive note -, if they try (like last time) to go through the courts, said courts are likely to swat down most, if not all, of the more obvious bullshit - like last time.

There’s at least some reason for hope on most of those fronts this time, though: AZ, for instance, has Dem leadership now as governor and secretary of state. Wisconsin finally turned its state supreme court around and its Republican leadership in the statehouse is in disarray. Michigan and Nevada are in safe D hands this cycle.

It doesn’t mean there won’t be attempts at ratfuckery, but at least they won’t have inside support at the top level in those states.

The worst of the secretaries of state right now, IMO, are in Kansas and Indiana, and if we get to the point where we’re winning those states, we’ve already won the 270 we need elsewhere and are in pretty good overall shape no matter what the Kobachs try to do.
