Putin appreciates the GOP's support of his candidate Stein.In ongoing Republican pre-election rigging over the last few weeks: Cornel West in particular appearing on ballots as a spoiler solely due to Republican work.
Republicans who have been funding both Cornel West and Jill Stein to be on all the swing state ballots - including helping gather signatures to put them on the ballot - have been vigorously defending them in court, at no cost to the West or Stein campaigns.

Be careful when filling out your mail in ballot in PA. This is going to hurt dems more than the fascists.Based on recent Pennsylvania elections, more than 10,000 ballots in this year's general election might be thrown out over bad or missing envelope dates, which could be enough to swing the presidential race.

Given general election tends to get more than double the turn-out, perhaps 10,000 votes at risk. And in 2020, 65% of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania were from Democrats.Any real numbers on the effects. I don't like anything the impedes voting but how significant is this.
