Decided they better not lie to the Judge by claiming fraud when she penned them down. False claims, loss of license. The Agency is beginning to worry about their reputation defending Trump.

I accidently threw my first envelope out. kept the ballot which was no good without the envelope.

I sweated over that for awhile emailing & then calling & surprised I got someone on the line. They sent me another one right away with instructions to tear up the other one. I said.. "absolutely, I won't be voting be twice!"

I'm surprised they didn't melt on the spot when a "black man of intimidating size" walked to close to them.

Their depth of privilege and stupidity is on full display with those affidavits.
