    Whoa. Finally a state in the US that isn’t doing something completely ass backwards. We need more of this.

      It’s Georgia, though. This is a positive development but it barely begins to make up for how much other ass-backwards stuff there is.

      This is the state that elected Marjorie Taylor Greene, keep in mind.

          Hmm if we had a giant solar array in space that could continuously capture sunlight, we could connect it to the Jewish Space Laser™ and beam it down to Earth, hopefully to a collection panel and not to the California forests to cause wildfires.

        Hopefully Georgia steps up and sticks to their guns with prosecuting people who attempt to convince election officials “to find 11,780 votes”.

        This is the state that brought you Biden in 2020. And two democratic senators. Granted there’s a lot of back ass districts here, but we’re working on it I promise.
