Here they go again, Wisconsin Republicans must be worried about turnout. So, they're loading the ballot up with referendums to push their base to the polls.

Election Assistance Commission completely gutted just before midterms, to be restocked by, yours truly, Donald J. Frump. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/trump-fires-election-commission-members-in-latest-attempt-to-control-voting-process I don&#39;t know what&#39;s more concerning, decapitating a commission in an effort to make those that believe its more than symbolic go totally berserk, or him converting its role of guidance into one of surveillance.

I don&#39;t know about other countries, but the US is leaving democracy behind in favor of some new fangled form of digital serfdom. We can&#39;t stop at #NoKings we need #NoTechLords too.
