Sometimes, the headline raises more than one question: “Quadruple amputee cornhole player fatally shoots man, authorities say.” That is a very efficient headline: It raises many more questions than there are verbs in it. The first sentence of the story from ESPN answers none of these questions and, in fact, raises a couple more: “A county sheriff’s office in Maryland said Monday that a professional cornhole player who is also a quadruple amputee fatally shot a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument.”

Wait—there are professional cornhole players?

People who take an interest in voting fraud have been told—lectured—over and over again, for many years, that voting fraud is not a thing, that there is no evidence of fraud’s having changed the outcome of any American election. And yet there are those provocative headlines, e.g.:

We live in Ohio and my wife (a New England liberal) just got knocked off the rolls in our county over the hyphen in her last name that doesn't appear on her ID but does on her voter registration. There's enough conspiracism in us to think that only happened because she is a registered Democrat in a deep red county in a state that acquiesced to this authoritarian administration in it's request to turn over voter information. State Republicans were never going to get her vote, but now given the increasing Magafication of Ohio's county level GOP leadership they can kiss goodbye to mine too. Happy to be an issue-only voter.

I believe the issue of married women who have a name change has been addressed. My biggest issue with this bill is I don’t think it should be coming from the federal government. I think we should want less federal federal control in elections not more. Ben Sasse — arguing against the Democrats ‘For the People Act’ and ending the legislative filibuster — was right when he said what stopped Donald Trump from stealing an election was our decentralized, state based elections. No Republican should be in favor of more federalizing of elections. And this is the argument Democrats should be making but they won’t/can’t because they too want a massive federal takeover of elections.

Thankfully there are enough Republican senators who won’t budge on the filibuster. But shame on Mike Lee (and others) for the way they’ve conducted themselves and the way they’ve got base voters all worked up over something they knew from the beginning didn’t have (and would never have) the votes to pass. I have family members telling me the so-called talking filibuster doesn’t need 60 votes which is nonsense. Mike Lee knows it’s nonsense but he still chose to mislead people. That’s shameful.
