I view Austin as being somewhat comparable to Seattle, without the risk of losing a kidney.

its true that Austin has turned more and more blue in the last ten years but I would bet my last dollar they would not let a bunch of thugs to take over 6 square blocks for any large amount of time

The Mayor of Seattle is gutless

The APD used tear gas to clear protesters off I35, so I don't imagine they'd let rioters control part of the city for any prolonged amount of time.

CD- what is the story with the voting issues in Georgia the other day?

of course it is being largely construed by media and A certain Female politician who is trying out for VP, as voter suppression perpetrated of course by a Republican Governor.  
But I was under the impression that the issues were heavily concentrated in 2 counties- both of which have County Election Commissioners who are Dems??

Nearly as I can tell, they have new voting machines that didn't always work right.  The poll workers were also often confused and unhelpful.

I'd note also we got a letter in the mail yesterday informing us of a change in our polling location, a day after the election.  The letter was dated May 22.

I tend to think "new things" often don't work quite right and it's not because of intent.

In Ohio, once the wife messed up her ballot and the poll workers were absolutely clueless about how to get her another one.  It took an hour to sort it out, I was rather annoyed.

Humans often seem prone to believing various and sundry conspiracy theories, or notions.  I find Occam's Razor is USUALLY of value.  I read somewhere that folks want to believe SOMEONE is behind all this, when usually it's just incompetence.

I also think folks who hold a lot of conspiracist explanations for many things like to believe THEY have inside information and the rest of us rubes are naive.

In general, it does me no good whether I "believe" UFOs are aliens or not.  So long as they don't convincingly reveal themselves, it doesn't change anything for me.

No conspiracy theory here.  Just good old fashioned incompetence- then all the narratives afterward as well as the finger pointing.
I thought you might have insight to help me weed through the noise since you are local.

Sorry, I'm not paying much attention to local "news".  I tried to follow the protest situation for a while.

I know it's pointless, and I have a million better ways to follow the news.  But I had a DVR set for the 6:00 local news and 6:30 NBC national news that I would watch after work each night.  Oddly, since the pandemic hit, I've stopped.

The comedy ones, are tolerable.  The sports ones, need to lean into the simulations.
