About 2 hours ago I started to make a thread about the Fed Gov't response to Georgia, North Carolina, and November 5th. Then I thought better of it because it was pure speculation on my part.
Here's the gist: Many rural communities have been cut off by mudslides and flooding. The few mountain roads they have are blocked. That's why aid has had such a hard time getting in. But the longer it takes to get things cleared up, the fewer of those citizens can get to the polls or send in their ballots by mail. These are people who just lost their homes, possessions, family members... Voting is not their highest priority right now.
So why has the Federal response been so unusually inadequate? (even by gov't standards)
Cui bono? Who benefits?
Tin-foil hat stuff right? Then there's this from David Axelrod.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod implied that “liberal voters” in Asheville, North Carolina, would “figure a way to vote,” despite the damage from Hurricane Helene, while Trump voters would not.
During an episode of the podcast Hacks on Tap, Axelrod spoke about Hurricane Helene and how places such as Asheville, in western North Carolina, had been affected by heavy rainfall and flooding, noting that there was “a lot of displacement” as a result.
Axelrod described North Carolina as being the “second most rural state” in the United States.
“Here’s my question about North Carolina, you had these killer storms, which by the way was a third big story this week,” Axelrod said. “And, there’s a lot of displacement in western North Carolina. Now, Asheville is a blue dot.”
Axelrod continued to describe the voters in Asheville as being “upscale, kind of liberal voters” who would “figure out a way to vote.”
“I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere in western North Carolina — in the mountains there — are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign,” Axelrod added.
Axelrod admitted that he was unsure about how this would “all play out” and noted it is an “unpredictable element in North Carolina” that makes the presidential election “interesting.”
