Odds Are

"Democratic Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver on Tuesday asked the state Supreme Court to order the three-member Otero County commission to certify June 7 primary election results to ensure voters are not disenfranchised and that political candidates have access to the general election ballot in November," the Associated Press reported Tuesday. "On Monday, the commission in its role as a county canvassing board voted unanimously against certifying the results of the primary without raising specific concerns about discrepancies, over the objection of the county clerk."

Why not certify the results? Usual bullshit: Dominion voting systems are “corrupt.” 

And it’s in court, which will require proof, not baseless allegations. These are the “Trump allies” we are supposed to be so afraid of. Problem is, they don’t have the last word. They also have as much chance in court as Trump did: 62 times.

I like those odds.

It could be better. I don’t see it being a whole lot worse. And voters are going to get tired of people trying to throw their votes out. That’s always going to be a “baby with the bath water” solution. And while a lot of people like to think someone else’s vote is the bath water, everyone believes their vote is the precious baby.

It won’t take long to figure it out.
