I wanted to share a post from a friend who is a recount observer in Milwaukee.

I'm told the counting went much better today. We've won every challenge and made real progress. My favorite story of the day:

There are three chairs in front of each counting tables for we observers. The rule is one Biden and, one Trump observer. The third chair for a 3rd Party. Of course, the Trump people were occupying every empty chair despite the rule. The commission announced that they had to stop. So, in a planned response, several Trump observers left the room, tore off their Trump sticker and went back to take the "third" chairs and claimed they were now independent and NOT Trump observers.

When the commission got wind of that, they came around and, literally, removed every "third" chair from every table and stored them.

Wow! Thanks for this real time example of ways in which the electoral process can be intimidated and possibly threatened. Many thanks, Sally.

This suggests that there may be more hope for the future than I’ve recently thought. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for sharing. I have posted this on my Facebook page (so many tRumpets out there though--they will twist it into something else). I keep keeping up the good fight though, as do so many on these posts. Everyone is truly an inspiration and energizer to me.

Thank you for sharing this. I no someone helping with the recount but I’m not using FB so I can’t ask how she is doing . . .
