(I am writing this because I want to know all about section 3.)

It turns out that the guy who sexually harassed an employee *while he was head of the EEOC* has a pattern of unethical behavior in office. Who could have possibly seen this coming.
@Teri_Kanefield how does asset forfeiture work? Is it potentially in play here?
@Teri_Kanefield what’s the deal with trying defendants together rather than separately? Is it common? Do they have the right to object?
@Teri_Kanefield will Trump have to sit through the whole trial in person?

Those who follow me on The Bad Place have heard me repeat this a thousand times, but once more won't hurt.

Election security is incredibly complex, full of seemingly impossible tradeoffs. But disinformation about supposed "rigged" elections is perhaps the most serious threat to election integrity today.

The best defense is to learn how elections actualy work! Becoming a poll worker is a great way to do that
