I'm not sure how many shoes are involved in this whole process, but yesterday another one dropped as both Wisconsin and Arizona certified their results from the November 3 election. The recount in Wisconsin, which cost the Drumpf campaign $3 million, resulted in an additional 87 votes for President-elect Biden. In other words, each new Biden vote cost the Drumpf campaign $34,483. Thanks, one-term president* tRump!

Meanwhile, Drumpf sues to try to reverse Wisconsin's election results:

Although the law here states that challenges to election results are to be filed in circuit court, the Drumpf campaign went straight to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. There's no certainty that the Supreme Court will agree to hear the case. But these sorts of lawsuits, like the ones filed in Michigan and Pennsylvania — all of which have failed spectacularly — can and have done harm to the US electoral system by convincing Drumpf supporters voter fraud is rampant and decreasing their confidence in the national vote count "from 56% before the election to 28% afterward" (Bright Line Watch).

To make sure the Biden administration is not hamstrung from the start by an obstructionist Senator McConnell and his henchmen, we need to help the two Democrats running for Senate in Georgia. If they win, we win the Senate. So, Grassroots North Shore needs more postcard writers: GRNS volunteers are currently writing 2,000 postcards to Georgia voters for the special Senate election for Jon Ossoff and Rev. Warnock. We just received 1,000 more names/addresses so we need more writers to get these postcards mailed by Dec. 9. We chose that date because early voting begins on Dec. 14 in Georgia. This project requires volunteers to handwrite a short message and address the postcards. The packets contain 25 postcards, stamps, instructions and the script and will be delivered to you by Dec. 3. To volunteer please contact Norma Gilson ASAP.

And don't overlook these opportunities to participate in the governance of our state:
