We seldom think about the election’s paper work, after a general or local election. We are too happy to care, if we voted for the right men and women. Well! We might be dejected if we listened to the polls, with their guesswork and voted for defeated candidates.

The 14 August 2023 indictment, The State of Georgia v. Donald John Trump, is a reminder that there’s a lot of filing involved, after voting has closed. Michael M. Roman, one of Trump’s co-defendants was the director of Trump’s fake electors in Georgia. All his racketeering resulted in a document called, CERTIFICATE OF THE VOTES OF THE 2020 ELECTORS FROM GEORGIA. Here’s a sample. Taste.

Act 79

On or about the 14th day of December 2020, DAVID JAMES SHAFER, SHAWN MICAH TRESHER STILL, CATHLEEN ALSTON LATHAM ……………….. committed the felony offense of IMPERSONATING A PUBLIC OFFICER, in violation of O.C.G.A 16-10-23, in Fulton County, Georgia, by unlawfully falsely holding themselves out as the duly elected, and qualified presidential electors from the State of Georgia …………..

This brings us to paper work and archives. The indictment says the intention was to mislead the following:

1. President of the United States Senate

2. Archivist of the United States

3. Georgia Secretary of State

4. Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia

This act, Act 79, is a reminder that after every election, there is administration and that involves a lot of paper and digital filing. African Americans in Georgia cherish the right to vote because it was denied, and is still in danger. They visit tombstones of those that died fighting for that right. They voted in 2020 but Donald Trump tried to steal their will. That is what the State of Georgia v. Trump is all about, defrauding voters.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
