I will miss him too. He's 86! Literally don't remember there ever being any other secretary of state. Him and Carol Moseley Brown will forever be in my brain from 8th grade constitution tests 😂

The recall Gavin Newsom noise is getting more traction. Enough to get local articles going about it. not sure if it will actually happen or if it will garner enough signatures or attention. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If anyone cares fox news is having a long discussion about Hunter Biden's amended tax returns with a former prosecutor about what crimes he might investigate. No discussion of the electoral college vote today.

mathlete, I think Jesse did so much to modernize an office that we all have to deal with. Everyone loves to complain about the DMV, but I've never found it other than pretty darn efficient and the in person staff helpful.

That's not how it works! WTF? It’s not, and it’s another long shot, but this time politicians hold the keys to success and I trust them a lot less than judges. I am mostly just worried about Michigan’s vote since they clearly demonstrated they’re prepared to do some pretty nutty things to get their way. It’s especially stupid because Michigan was not close. Can someone who remembers all the EC numbers remind me what the EC numbers look like if one of these states fucks with their voters? Biden still wins since GA, AZ, PA came through, right? I mean, I know if Michigan tries to pull something it has big impacts to confidence in democracy, but it’s not like the single state reverses Biden’s win, right?

Correct, Biden can win without Michigan. However I do think it highly unlikely all 16 electors would vote for Trump. I’m mostly worried about violence since clearly there’s already been one plot there.

I have a free subscription to the WSJ and still called to cancel. They have totally and completely jumped the shark since Murdoch purchased them. FFS.

I was like um maybe let him govern before you try to recall him? The unmasked party debacle is the first time I’ve really worried about him.

My concern is not even about faithless electors - it's about assholes disrupting or hurting people. I just can't wait for this to end. I know we still have miles to go to get this country where it needs to be, but the country needs to shove these deplorables back.

It’s definitely the hormones, but seeing people starting to get vaccinated. Then the fedex plane arriving to LA with the first batch of vaccines. I’m very teary. It feels like there’s end in sight. I’m near sobbing just with that.

Is this where I mention that I cried while Precious cast her vote for Joseph R Biden and that the room erupted in cheers, which made me laugh as well. Blubbering mess.

Counting down the days. *sigh*
Eta: this is apparently untrue and not actually something he tweeted but I'm leaving it to avoid confusion the thread.
