FBI’s Search of Georgia Election Center Is “Dangerous”

“I’m not aware of something like this happening ever before,” said Rick Hasen, a professor at the law school of the University of California, Los Angeles. “The idea that federal officials would seize ballots in an attempt to prove fraud is especially dangerous in this context when we know there is no fraud because the Georgia 2020 election has been extensively counted, recounted and investigated.”

Hello :-)

Some users have been mentioning that some of the posts in your blog don't contain any original content created and have only copypasta of links from external sources (full or partial texts, video links, art, etc.).

I suppose it would be better to add some original thoughts to shared links, so some will not consider it as low effort posting for rewards and start downvoting it ;-)

Thank you.
