Call me a pessimist, but I’d be willing to bet the Republicans would put up legislation to argue that anyone that dies after the election within X number of days has their vote disqualified.
I mean, if the pure fact of it being completely based on vague good-sounding appeals and devoid of any facts or explanations wasn’t already a giveaway, then:
reducing red tape
minimizing government interference in medical decisions
government regulations will affect your care
… should also be a massive red flag that this is some sinister patient-killing bullshit.
There’s also:
addressing “workforce challenges,”
if there’s enough staff
staff shortages and workforce concerns
So they want the ability to mistreat patients and doctors and nurses, free from government red tape that might interfere with their ability to do so. Got it.
The firm is run by David Langdon, described as a behind-the-scenes conservative lawyer, who over the last decade has quietly helped nonprofits and super-PACs pour millions of dollars into elections. Langdon did not return the Indiana Capital Chronicle’s request for comment.

“When your life’s on the line, you shouldn’t have to worry if the local hospital is open, if there’s enough staff, or if government regulations will affect your care,” the narrator said in the video. “Four in 10 Hoosiers will need hospitalization this year. That’s why Protect Patients Indiana is committed to safeguarding our health care; by reducing red tape, supporting local hospitals and their staff, ensuring access for all Hoosiers. Protect Patients Indiana. Prioritizing health in every community, Join us.”
The hospitalization statistic is more than four times the state’s current hospitalization rate. According to the American Hospital Directory, there were roughly 653,000 hospital patient discharges in 2022, equal to about one in 10 Hoosiers.
No no, you see they are predicting that they’ll make things so bad that 4 in 10 will need hospitalization. In other words they’re threatening to beat up one third of Hoosiers.
This investigation should be over quickly. Whereas at the beginning of Covid, it was cheaper to shop at Kroger than the local grocery co-op and the fresh thyme, both are now cheaper than Kroger by ~$50/week for a family of 3. The same carton of eggs at fresh thyme is half the price of Kroger. Make it make sense!!!
Likewise Trader Joe’s prices have shot up tremendously, like 50% on many items in less than a year. This while Aldi’s prices have not risen nearly as much. Meanwhile corporations are celebrating the highest profits in more than 70 years while simultaneously working overtime to convince us those runaway profits have nothing to do with inflation.

Shapiro has come under fire for his administration’s move last year to pay nearly $300,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim against one of his longtime aides. The deal involved a non-disclosure agreement.
I already disliked this guy for the op-ed he wrote about Palestinians that just broke. I hadn’t seen this. Bounce this fucking loser.
Depends on the state. Looks like Carter is registered in Georgia. According to an article from 2020 when Republicans were bald face lying that long dead people were voting a lot, someone from the Georgia Secretary of State's office is quoted as saying secrecy rules don't allow rejecting a ballot when a voter dies before Election Day.
“You can’t go back and get that ballot back out. It’s just physically impossible, given the privacy rules in our state,”. May or may not still be accurate, or may have never been accurate, but that's what the first article I found when searching says.
Expect fuckery to happen this time. Suddenly, perfectly valid absentee ballots for Harris will suddenly be “uncertifiable” and “closer inspection must be made”.
Then “they wouldn’t have made a difference and we declare Trump the winner.”
Some states interpret that a submitted absentee ballot has been cast, and you can’t “un-vote”, not least because it’s anonymous and so there’s no way to know.
If you vote in person, drop your ballot in the box and then keel over, they don’t fish your ballot out of the box.
Other states interpret a submitted ballot as having been filled out and collected, but not yet cast. They’re usually kept in the sealed envelope with voter identification on them until they’re opened and anonymously counted when voting begins. They check names against the voter registry as they process them, and there’s a process for double and triple checking things to ensure there’s been no error (where I am they try and call you or otherwise get in touch with you, and if there’s any doubt your ballot becomes provisional so they can dig in if it’s close enough to matter).
If you vote in person, and keel over before putting your ballot in the box, they don’t pick your ballot up and drop it in for you.
It looks like Georgia falls into that first category.
It’s a vanishingly small edge case so it doesn’t get tested that often.
NASA spokesperson Josh Finch told Ars on Thursday evening, “NASA is evaluating all options for the return of agency astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the International Space Station as safely as possible. No decisions have been made, and the agency will continue to provide updates on its planning.”
A standard statement like this doesn’t really warrant a news article.
That is a notable change from “we’re just double checking things on the Starliner, which we think we can fix. We expect them to ride it home soon” that has been the message for a long time. Now it’s “we’re looking at all options”.
