The Attorney General of the State Of Texas is suing the State of Wisconsin in the US Supreme Court to get the November 3rd presidential election overturned. He is also suing Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia over rigged elections. Ok Ed, so there’s still one crazy loon in an AG post…

Oh man, even in normal times circulating petitions in December for the spring elections can be a cold and dreary and thankless task. (which is why I still support moving these elections to fall) But in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic it becomes an even harder and more daunting…
