Truly happy to see this and appreciate Congresswoman Craig’s desire to destroy Republicans in November
But most importantly, for Folk to even reach a tie, he must win the eliminated pool roughly two to one. Frazier needs barely a third of voters who already declined to vote for Folk once. That’s tough math to overcome, no matter how much money Folk has.
I took a look at this yesterday, and fear not: it's not only totally frivolous, it's so frivolous that the odds of Chavin's attorney getting sanctioned for it are better than the odds of it being granted.

It sucks that a red state lost two justice fighters, but people need to save their sanity. It was a reminder that political refugees come in all stripes, from our trans siblings to these more conventional families, and this election, we’re fighting for them, and future political refugees, and us.
