Incoming Pa. governor taps GOP ex-official for election post

[Guno צְבִי]

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A former Philadelphia election official who has told of enduring death threats for defending the city's 2020 vote-counting against former President Donald Trump's lies will be nominated for the top election administration post in Pennsylvania by the incoming Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro.

Al Schmidt's coming nomination to be secretary of state, announced Thursday by Shapiro, sets him up to oversee what is expected to be a hard-fought 2024 election in the critical presidential battleground. Schmidt is Shapiro's first Cabinet selection to be revealed ahead of his Jan. 17 inauguration.

Democrats are sane. Some Republicans are sane. The Republican Party is lost.

Republicans control the House and conservatives have a 5-4 majority at the Supreme Court, Walter.

The Speaker of the House is by law second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President, and 25th Amendment makes the Speaker a part of the process announcing presidential disability.

Everyone remember when the US Supreme Court was nonpartisan? Well Republicans have left no doubt in anyone's mind that 5 Supreme Court justices serve the Republican Party and not the Constitution.

As for controlling the House, they do not have enough control of the House to even be sworn in. It is like claiming to control a house, but not having the house keys.

The Speaker of the House is by law second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President, and 25th Amendment makes the Speaker a part of the process announcing presidential disability.

Right now, there is not a single Republican in the line of succession. Let that sink in for a minute.

Calm down, Walter.

In 1856, it took 2 months to get a Speaker of the House. Of course things moved slower back then, so the USA could survive... And that did directly lead to the Civil War which nearly caused the USA not to survive.

We have not gotten to that point yet, but we are further along to that point than we have been in over a hundred years.

Republicans control nothing. They are in a clusterfuck if you wish. This is just the beginning of two years of nothing, and voters will remember.
