Come look at what just happened to Tennessee's legislature (and why we'll never know why) X-P

Underneath the national radar is a mighty interesting pattern percolating below the Mason-Dixon line. Come take a look at our never-ending version here in Tennessee, where Republicans never saw a DRE they didn't like, nor failed to fight to preserve, in our voting booths.

Or, maybe, just hide and watch. This is a mighty obvious forest still affecting us in too many places, though seemingly always obscured (and dismissed) by the trees.

If you're from Tennessee (or anywhere else that still votes using unverifiable and/or unaudited voting systems): Who did your voting machine vote for?

1. Over this next week or so...

we will be hearing of glitches and major problems that haven't surfaced as yet. Still, overall, this may have been the cleanest election in many years. Most of the tricks are known which makes it more difficult.

The problems in Tennessee may just be a result of pulpit pounding across the state. Religion has had a horrendous affect on elections.

2. Read the links.

What happened in Tennessee MAY have been the function of any number of things. That list is seemingly inexhaustible.

But if the search for answers is based on a premise (that the Republicans swept 4-5X their expected number of seats because they actually got the votes needed to do so) that is untestable and unverifiable (and may, in fact, be wrong), then it's all a fool's game.

The presence and persistence of the Rethug defense for indefensible voting systems is at the heart of what's happening in my home state now. And that's based on a decade of experience and long looks in the shifty eyes of the election thieves posing as reich-wing, holy-annointed patriots here (those with balls, and without).

Thanks for commenting, though. I was about to troll for more Tennesseans on the GD forum and you've helped me cast upon the waters twice now. Much appreciated.

3. And what is more maddening the IRS has not stripped one,

not one damn single fire breather preachers church's tax free status away from them. They are doing anything the want at the expense of the tax payers of this country.

4. Trolling for Tennesseans on the GD forum. Y'all come.

5. One early morning cast onto the GD waters for other early-rising Tennesseans
