The NEVADA GOP is using the Recall process to steal the State Senate.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/nevada-gop-recall-elections_us_59f8b778e4b046017faf3f25

"A federal lawsuit brought on behalf of voters living in the three senatorial districts argues that the recall effort violates the Voting Rights Act as well as the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

In Nevada, people can force a recall election for “no reason other than dissatisfaction with the outcome of the prior election,” the lawsuit says. The current effort places an undue burden on voters in the three relevant districts, the suit contends.

“Nevada voters are perpetually at risk of: (i) having their casted votes nullified by an unjustified recall; (ii) bearing the undue burden of having to vote again and again to ensure that their elected officials can serve out full terms; and (iii) having the attention, time, and resources of their elected officials diverted to defending against recalls rather than governing and making policy,” the suit contends."

And they will go to any lengths--legal or otherwise--to prevent the people from expressing their will.

And the fucking Dems, instead of fighting like fucking hell were like "well, the current Dem didn't give me a pony, so I'll just stay home and let them fucking steal the Governorship of the FIFTH FUCKING LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE FUCKING WORLD"

Wake the fuck up and vote D with all your fucking heart...all the way down to god damned Dogcatcher!

The "Retrumplicans" are a fucking cancer on this country, and we need to cut them out and get clear fucking margins.
