Executive Orders are not Law. The President cannot make Law only the Congress makes Law. The President must “faithfully execute” the Law.

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

“What is wrong with being a peacemaker?” When the bully punches you dont ask him what he wants just punch him back you pussy.

I have never used the RFinder but the guy who developed it is local so I’m aware of it. https://rfinder.shop/product/rfinder-m6-dual-band-dmr-4g-lte/ it looks awesome but is more expensive than a really good HF base station so ymmv

You are 100% correct to worry about this, of course. That said, I don’t see something more than 3.6M people (half the registered voters of Michigan to just pick that one state as an example) seeing themselves disenfranchised like in your scenario being silent about it and calmly waiting for the courts. I guess I’m saying the perpetrators of such a scheme would have more to worry about than just losing a court case.

On a side note, its interesting that in Michigan it appears that as of today 41% of registered voters have already voted.

I found this document which lists all of the timeline for Michigan certification: https://campaignlegal.org/sites/default/files/2024-09/Michigan Guide - Final.pdf (apparently this has been on a lot of folks’ radar for awhile :)

that document makes it clear that in Michigan at least certification is a mandatory duty in both the constitution and by state law.

Yes, good points. I posted the comment originally because it is alarming.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Veterans on Patrol founder, Michael Meyer is not a veteran. https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/veterans-patrol

The Constitution only grants the President the power to pardon federal crimes. I found a nice article with the history and status of the cases against the bad actors in the last attempt here: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/where-the-fake-electors-cases-stand-in-state-court

It would be worth looking into which states have wording in their Constitutions that include “shall certify” which would make the stalling tactic a crime.

Also, anyone who voted in a state whose electors were not sent on time would have a valid civil rights case against that state’s officials and they would all have standing because they were personally harmed. The number of potential lawsuits would be overwhelming and perhaps ruinous to anyone found guilty. Not sure that fear of that would be enough to stop them, but also they have to worry about losing their next election (though if it worked they might hope to be rewarded by the winning administration).

Thanks bot. Its a post by Robert Reich on his substack. Maybe not a “news outlet” but direct from someone who is constantly interviewed and in the news. His CV is rather lengthy so I will just link to a wikipedia article about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Reich

Article didn’t link to the website they set up but yup, pretty much checks out https://progress2028.com/ for those that didn’t read the article, none of these are actual Harris policies.

There is a setting now (in all types of client I think) to log out when you close down the browser. Your comment makes me realize that I probably want to NOT set that on at least one machine. I set that on the machines that are out and about.

For the server I’ve used gogs for many years. It was easy to set up and has a web interface. What client you use is really up to you with git.

you mentioned you’ve used joplin. All my notes are in markdown and I’ve been using Obsidian instead. Obsidian includes support for mermaid and can render (relatively simple) flowcharts.

How much to just torture him for awhile?

I’m upvoting you because I know what you’re trying to say. Personally I don’t have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don’t feel like I’m “missing out”. Still, I get it.

oh this one is going to be so pissed when they find out they also re-mapped the keyboard shortcut /s

Yeah! Once you’ve spent all your money traveling you can just sell your… oh wait.

Yeah because its just Chromium which isn’t an awful open source browser developed and maintained by Google.
