Dispatches From the Fortress – Day 388

Like a lot of you, I'm pretty irked by all the Republican-controlled state legislatures that are now trying to rewrite voting rules to make it more difficult for non-Republican votes to be cast. The one in Georgia is pretty bad. I actually took the time to read it and it does indeed say what Kevin Drum summarizes here.

And like a lot of you, I am unsurprised that Donald Trump's fund-raising, supposedly to "stop the steal," resulted in lots of that money going into various Trump and Trump-related bank accounts. Also unsurprising is that a vast number of donors thought they were signing up for modest, one-time donations and later found their credit cards charged repeatedly for higher amounts. Read all about it here.
