Too late honey, the shitgibbon already threw you under the bus…

Pro Tip: Sue to have the count stopped when you are ahead…

There are 4 counties in Utah. The counties where she is winning, she is not suing nor is she asking for oversight…only the county that favors her opponent.

Not even pretending to be fair minded, is she?

Quit while you’re behind? interesting strategy.

Sue when you’re ahead, sue when you’re behind. It all makes sense when you realize that it isn’t about winning so much as it is undermining the legitimacy of elections. The GOP: always playing the long game.

“According to political polling and reporting website FiveThirtyEight, Love’s votes have aligned with Trump’s positions around 96% of the time…”

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer I-Got-Mine-Now-Pull-Up-The-Ladder-Quick! child-of-immigrants sellout.

Enjoy your new Dem rep, Utah.

(Note to AP: Her challenge is to Sherrie Swensen, not Swenson.)

This is getting just whacko. Love got what she could from Utah County, now it is Salt Lake that is doing its final count, and she is (a) going to lose that vote badly, and (b) she is behind anyway. It is almost like she thinks if she calls “voter fraud” Trump will like her again. Just weird.

Stop counting, I am trailing! Something is wrong with this logic.

Every GOPer is suing to halt re-counts… she figured she had to do so as well… not the sharpest knife…

Snark aside, what is the strategy here? Lob a sueball and pause the count so you can fundraise some more to retire the campsign debt?

She should have figured that Trump hates her just because of the color of her skin, regardless of he politics.

To the Republican shyster monitors… please state your expertise for determining signatures to be too different?

Do you go by visual comparison or by whether a name sounds Democrat?

If by visual, what training have you had to ensure you are following a standard, non-biased, and repeatable process?

Or are you just gumming up the works by calling out to the mythical illegal voter cabal?

I’m old enough to remember when tort reform was a GOP talking point which could be discussed without peals of laughter.

Which seems to be: always have a suit threatened or underway so you have an unregulated fund that your supporters can contribute to.

I’m not sure I ever knew such a time.

I thought they had been suing for their own injuries since the dawn of time and trying to bar anyone else from doing the same. Certainly the Gov of Texas has followed that ideology.

Aww, the GOP can’t steal another seat in Federal government.

Sad.

The campaign’s poll monitors have seen instances where a ballot was approved even though the signature did not appear to match the one on file…

OT: What does it mean “signature did not appear to match the one on file?” Are they alleging mail-in voter fraud or are they nitpicking how closely the signatures match? Why do we never hear complaints about possible mail-in voter fraud which seems much more likely to occur than in-person voter fraud?

Swensen isn’t the challenger.

The actual GOP mission statement is just: Cheat.

Winning or losing doesn’t factor into it. Their behavior, at least, is consistent(ly uneithical and devoid of mammalian, let alone human, morality).
