I propose to give this article the zero amount of attention it deserves, and instead, to spend the comments talking about how to help get people out to vote.

I signed up yesterday with votefwd.org, and I'm planning on spending some time on it, as soon as they verify my signup. I've already turned in my ballot, but there's still time to motivate some other people, and influence the outcome that way.

Edit: I don't think this is the way. Does anyone know how to volunteer for text banking? I think I did, a while back, but I never did it. I looked at https://web.kamalaharris.com/forms/take-action-for-kamala-harris but the prospect of having to go outside and meet people is terrifying.

"Various organisations in Nazi Germany required their members to swear oaths to Adolf Hitler by name, rather than to the German state"

How many swing state ballots does she need to be on to avoid polonium tea?

How hard do you think it is for her to find a lawyer who will accept being paid in rubles?

Farley said she and Rios agreed that Farley would write and deliver the letter because Rios had COVID-19 at the time, and she asserted that Rios was on the phone with Farley while Farley delivered the letter to LaRose’s office in downtown Columbus.
The reason the Stein campaign is now claiming is that they didn’t authorize the letter, Farley said at the time, is “because they’re trying to save their butt.”

All the evidence so far suggests that Stein will lose. Lying to stay on the ballot?

According to Farley, she and Rios decided to try to swap in Ware’s name after unsuccessfully trying to reach Stein’s campaign for guidance.

Self-inflicted then? If Stein had answered she might still be on the ballot in Ohio.

LaRose’s office noted, accurately, that it was too late under state law to replace Rios’s name with Ware’s on the ballot. But it accepted Rios’ withdrawal

This part I don't quite get. Why did Rios et al continue to pursue withdrawal in this case? LaRose shouldn't have accepted the withdrawal unless Rios made clear she understood the consequences and wanted to go ahead regardless.
