We are post-truth.  In a time everything needs to be fact-checked the most, people tend to do it less than before.

Brilliant.

Cincy, good luck and a speedy recovery.  We need your vision sharp for when Florida upsets UGA.

Eh, when you don't believe the "fact-checkers" are objective and unbiased, what's the good in it?

The thing I like about most "fact checkers" is they explain their basis and provide some links or references.  They aren't always right of course, they make mistakes, but I believe they USUALLY are correct, and at minimum worth considering.  One can review such a check and determine if it seems reasonable or not.

The alternative of course is to believe whatever you want to believe in the first place and discount all "fact checks" and counter arguments.  That is more comfortable.

Voted early yesterday evening.

The machine changed my presidential, senate and rep votes to all democrats. 

I had to get the poll worker involved to fix it, which took longer than it took to vote.

This has happened to other friends of mine around here, I came to find, before I voted. First time it ever happened to me, that I know of. I was paying close attention this time.

The fraud is real, everyone.

Check your ballots when you vote.

Feels likely that Florida hired out Bob's Shop N Save (Stop the Steal!) to administer their voting

I reported the incident to the Lee County Sherriff and to Rep. Byron Donalds.
