At the risk of being accused of being size-ist, she may have stolen more than money…

William according to Wikipedia. But a W does look like a K that tripped and landed on its back.

This is very typical of Republicans, if you can’t win fairly, then by all means cheat anyway possible. Most Republicans now in office Won by cheating in one form or another, and this needs to stop NOW.

forged signatures collected by the Republican campaign in the race.

Placards with this need to be displayed at every election security meeting across the country.

Well didn’t Scott threaten a whistleblower? I wonder what Scott’s relationship is with Heather Guillot?

No one could have guessed that republicans could be such liars and cheaters.

" I really don’t know Mr. Kobach’s middle initial."
I think you have it!

Seems like some Republicans and a Democrat need some jail time…

From what I can tell Heather Guillot was one of Scott Taylor’s staffers that collected the signatures. Can’t tell if she was paid or not, not sure if she still works for him or what the relationship was beyond that. So far it’s a little mysterious what role Taylor had in this. Sure hoping it will come out before the election.

Remember, Republicans know that there is tons of voter fraud going on because they are the ones committing it!

“The argument was, and the judge bought it, that none of the signatures from Scott Taylor’s [staffers] should be counted,” Ellenson said."

The judge bought it? What kind of legal language is that? How about “the Judge believed the evidence?”

Does everything that happens have to be reported like its a stupid reality show?

Just the sort of person repugs love. Why don’t they recruit her to their party? She’d do great on Fox news.

If they won fairly, there wouldn’t BE any republicans. Or at least, they’d be a small minority… 18% of elected politicians.

Dozens were shown to have been forged, but hundreds were turned in overall. The appeal will probably submit that the signatures not shown to have been forged, but which were collected by the forgers, should not be excluded en masse. I doubt that’d fly. At the very least, the burden should shift to respondent/appellant to prove the remainder are valid, one by one.

Its pretty easy to collect 1000 signatures for almost any candidate and particularly telling that she couldn’t get them legitimately.

I wonder if anybody remembers “egg freckles”.

That was part of what helped the original Apple Newton to an early death.

It is now over 20 years later. Let that sink in. (And these devices aren’t even trying to do handwriting recognition.)

Queue a new Trump tweet declaring the decision a “WITCH HUNT” and despairing at the unprecedented unfairness of these rulings against Taylor… in 3…2…1…

Oh, or that’s what would normally happen, except for Trump’s no good terribly bad day of bombshell books and NYT op-eds from the inner circle…

(it’s so weird to use the word ‘normally’ regarding anything related to Trump, but there it is…)

So, will Trump just fire everyone and start over? He’s both Apoplectic and Unhinged, so… could happen.

Oh, and wouldn’t it be super-rich if the op-ed turned out to be written by Ivanka and/or Jared?

Fingers crossed…!

“…due to forged signatures collected by the Republican campaign in the race…”
I saw this in a local initiative matter few years back. Even though I favored the matter myself, I was appalled that some signature collectors forged some signatures. They turned out to be teenage boys hired by adults. I lost track of what happened to the initiative. I favored it, but was demoralized by all this, later moved from the community.
Seems to be no shortage of people willing to play stooge in these matters of political fraud.

That’s really not good enough; Everyone involved needs go to jail for a dissuasive period of time.
