Good think you have a Ritchie rather than a Harris.

Exactly. He doesn’t scare, and he doesn’t yell. He just does his job, and he’s shown over the years that he’s clean as a whistle and plays fair.

There’s a new Astroturf group calling itself “the Minnesota Majority” which is trying to a) get him booted and b) repeal same-day registration, and c) institute photo ID. Ain’t gonna happen.

Our local paper had an AP article on Ritchie this a.m. If the Rethugs think he is someone to be trifled with, they’ve a surprise in store.

And I heard him interviewed a couple days ago on MPR. This guy is rock solid as Rushmore.

The famed Brooks Brothers riot was staged during a vote recount in Miami. As the story goes, the rioting Republican operatives effectively intimidated the poll workers into stopping the recount.

Count
every
vote

Why can’t Americans see which party favors that central principle, and which party doesn’t? And make their decisions accordingly?

Yup. He’s dealt with these people before, and he’s not going to cower or give them any leverage by being openly belligerent. He’s just going to do his job.

The problem is that there aren’t many high-level intel people who are utter squeaky clean. (And there are quite a few of the low-level ones who are, as is Larry Johnson, bughouse crazy.) There’s a reason Stalin purged his secret police about every seven years or so.
