If you have a primary candidate you are really jazzed about, good on ya.

But putting money into a Dem-on-Dem fight doesn't really do anything in service of our liberal democracy-unless one of the options is that Nazi lady in Texas and luckily she was already defeated.

Also, this list is not a ranking-though I do love to rank things-but for once I'm going to try to embrace the egalitarian spirit of the left.

Bale Dalton (FL-07)

Cook rating: Likely R (R+5)

2024 Result: Cory Mills (R): 56.5%, Jennifer Adams (D): 43.5%

Dalton is a former Navy helicopter pilot and public servant who most recently served as the chief of staff at NASA.

The Republican nominee is scandal-plagued Rep. Cory Mills.

Tim's Rationale: Technically the Florida primary isn't till August, but Dalton is the endorsed candidate of the DCCC ...

... and I've had the privilege of getting to know him over the years. Dalton is exactly the type of public servant we want in Washington: judicious, pragmatic, and committed to fighting for what is right.

His opponent is a clown and --------- who has espoused conspiracy theories about the Trump assassination attempts, lied about his military career and finances, allegedly drunkenly "sucker punched" someone before running away while on a congressional delegation trip to Ireland, and allegedly physically abused one girlfriend and threatened another who had broken up with him after learning about the existence of the former. Even Nancy Mace called Mills a "disgrace." (Pot, kettle, etc.) You can see my convo with Dalton here.

JFC... the endorsed candidate of the DCCC ..

"But the ----------- Democrats are exactly like - and no better than - Republicans" - quoted by every single f*c&ing internecine warrior who wants to see Trump triumphant on the corpses of defeated "impure" Democrats.

Sure.

It's the entire body of content I have already provided.

Or, do you prefer actual dialogue?

But how much of an effect upon voting will the GOP actions to discount the votes they do not think would vote for them?

Your thoughts are pyramidial. "If you were a gas you would be inert."

They will prevent counting actual votes? How obscene.

In regard to what my conversation with A_Friend pertains to funding, it's sources and consquences.

We have opposite views, so "internecene" is our safe word.

I have not said anything about counting actual votes.

What I have said was about the apparent prevention of those votes being cast.

For example ...

U.S. Appeals Court Strikes Down North Carolina's Voter ID Law (2016)
www.npr.org

...The appeals court noted that the North Carolina Legislature "requested data on the use, by race, of a number of voting practices" -- then, data in hand, "enacted legislation that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected African Americans."

The changes to the voting process "target African Americans with almost surgical precision," the circuit court wrote, and "impose cures for problems that did not exist."

The appeals court suggested that the motivation was fundamentally political -- a Republican legislature attempting to secure its power by blocking votes from a population likely to vote for Democrats....

Georgia's GOP House Speaker says vote-by-mail system would be 'devastating to Republicans' (April 2020)
