poll challengers are official things too and they also have their regs and rules to follow.

im pretty sure 10000% of all the poo poo we heard from Rudy and co are acting outside the system.

There's a difference between poll watchers and poll challengers. Challengers are assigned by the political parties and are limited in number, and are allowed special credentials and rights. Poll watchers are just some Joe that wants to show up and hang around the polls somewhere away from the books, and only can look at the pollbook if the election official says they can, and also can't challenge people's right to vote.

It varies by state so I'm not sure if that is universal but at least that's what I'm familiar with.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Everywhere that actually fucks with elections knows that you do it by screwing with the count (ie, stuffing ballot boxes, exchanging ballots, hacking the computer) not by fiddling with faking individual votes. That’s like trying to rob a bank by pickpocketing people in the cashiers line.

They still think JFK got elected by mob guys getting names of recently dead people and voting repeatedly under those names. Like nobody would notice an Italian mafia soldier coming in over and over and saying "I'm John Johnson. Capisce? Now I'm Robert Jackson, you understand what I'm saying?"

Back in like 2000-2004ish in Georgia, I remember there being a report from DEFCON about how Diebold machines were easily hackable because they ran an unpatched version of WindowsCE that loaded every default device driver, so with little more than a thumb drive (or even less?) you could run code, and in effect have it compromise the vote count. It was my understanding at the time that this was why Diebold was replaced with Dominion. So, it was really telling to me that as soon as that change happened, the right-wingers started accusing the Dominion machines of having the exact exploitability that was present in the Diebold machines years prior. (If I'm off, someone please correct me)

It was almost as if they were mad that they couldn't run their old exploits anymore.

It's been a long long while but I did a topic paper on that back as a freshman in college and you're basically right. There were a lot of ways you could compromise those machines.

I believe the conservative mind goes something like this.

Their source: eh feels right, bonus points if it's actually true because that way we can focus specifically on this with slightly more plausibility when a ton of contradictory information from other states comes in
Our source: Study Finds Significant Increase in Firearm Assaults in States that Relaxed Conceal Carry Permit Restrictions wait that can't be right. This is invalid for a myriad of creative reasons (or none at all)

This can’t be over-emphasized, if you’ve been reading about a conspiracy theory which is new to you for more than ten minutes and haven’t encountered the antisemitism, your source isn’t being honest enough.
Bob Moran has just decided to be super honest and just depict Benjamin Netanyahu eating children as a kosher meal, not even "WEF" or "globalist" or "NWO".

And then doubled down when called out by saying its fine, because vaccines and public health measures are the real Hitler, and has now descended into something about how Netanyahu isn't really Jewish (probably Khazarian conspiracy or some poo poo).

It's amazing how fast he went from "edgy but mainstream conservative" to "I have a few questions about covid restrictions" to "vaccine genocide" to "Jews are allowed to eat babies and drink blood."

Probably quite easy when you're getting all your news from the same swirling toilet vortex as the others.

(And of course because it's so blatantly antisemitic this will be perpetually cited in response to any legitimate criticism of the actions of Israel as evidence that all critics are just racists like him, great job Moran.)

Jobs that require a specific amount of peak physical attributes are the one category of jobs that we've all agreed on would make no sense to pick anyone less than the few who can do it for, regardless of diversity or anything else. It's largely genetics and randomness who can be in the NFL and whatnot. Perhaps conservatives really like using that as an example of affirmative action bad because it makes them uncomfortable that black people get into sports more because they just plain try a whole lot harder at it, and if there is any genetic advantage at all in this case, it goes to them.

Also the diverse team seems like they'd be good at confronting a variety of different challenges.

Elephants have been used as work animals for millennia, and can pull a load on skids single handedly, gorillas can move things out of the way, the duck can fly unlike any real reindeer. Not sure what use the latter would be but it's as valid as anything else if you're comparing against a flying reindeer team that used to be a single reindeer anyway. The ostrich is telepathic because why not?

Wouldn't doubt it. I know there's a really racist version of the 3 little pigs that's about gun control. Pig exploits loopholes to keep his guns hidden from the feds, so everytime a ni-WOLF shows up, he gets blasted and his body hidden in the woods somewhere, with the last wolf deciding to move somewhere where gun control actually works so he can commit crimes without fear of someone fighting back.

Where's the one where the pig suddenly gets really eager for gun control as soon as a wolf exercises the same rights to buy a gun too?
