I think it is just pointing out the hypocricy of the party, using "states rights" as a battle cry, when it's convenient for them.


Both parties are hypocritical. Democrats used many of the same highly improbable tactics to try to get the 2004 election result overthrown, perhaps ironically, when George W. Bush had also won the popular vote.

John Kerry, for his part, actually did concede as soon as it became clear that he definitely lost.

Isn't Stacy Abrams amazing
Historically the participation levels in US elections have been abysmal
The opportunities to register new voters is tremendous. This is becoming a real democracy as more and more vote.
Now doubt Republicans in State legislatures they control will be looking to pass laws making it more difficult to vote. Sad.

With Donny’s constant attacks on him for doing his job, one has to wonder if Governor Brian Kemp is regretting stealing the election from Stacey Abrams in 2018?

ROTFL
Kemp may not be able to run again as Donny will make sure he gets his revenge by primarying him.
This could really open things up for Stacy

For some, “both sides”-ism is an incurable condition.

Aren't they?

In 2004, certain Democrats (and, again, Kerry himself conceded) sought to overturn the results of an entire state in order to change the Electoral College outcome in an election in which the winner not only clearly won, (Bush won Ohio by over 2%) but also won the popular vote majority by an overwhelming amount.

I'll grant that the specifics were a bit different and perhaps the 2004 Democrats had a slightly more reasonable gripe...not to mention that their gripe was confined only to the results of one state...but it's a bit of a stretch to say they're not remotely comparable.

Bill Barr resigns.

(Or takes early Christmas vacation)
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
