I’d say it’s about time, but it might already be too late.

Answers? These people don’t even have a clue, never mind answers.

OT…but must share. An excellent makeover of the vomit inducing painting of Who? playing poker with past presidents. Too. Funny.

Not that this is some novel insight, but I’d put the chance that this turns into a fiasco at 100%. Fiasco with storming of something, 80%.

This letter will act as a Rorschach test. The GQP will see it as the deep state rushing in to protect the steal, while others will see it as the very least that should happen (and why did it take so long?). Don’t misunderstand me…this Arizona action has violated federal law since its inception.

So this answers a question we had in yesterday’s thread, about whether these clowns had access to personal info on voters. Apparently they do, if they’re planning on knocking on doors to intimidate… er, I mean validate their registrations.

Another fun fact, the Politico article on this today says that only 20% of the ballots have been counted since they started on April 23, and they only have the stadium booked until May 14th. There’s a high school graduation ceremony scheduled there on the 15th.

I’m sure someone with a blue pen intends to just write up the results the AZ senate demands anyhow, so all’s good. We shouldn’t worry our pretty heads about the state of our democracy.

Good, because this is shady from top to bottom. They’re acting on absurd rumors like there are ballots from China, so they’re looking for bamboo fibers. They’ve locked out anyone who could be objective. The whole thing is engineered to produce one result—a loudly blared announcement that whattaya know they found massive voter fraud after all. It’ll work like this:

  1. Loudly blared announcement
  2. Loudly blared calls for similar “audits” in other states because look at all the fraud
  3. ?
  4. ?
  5. ?
  6. Trump assumes presidency

Somewhat ironic that the election lawsuit rejected by the Supreme Court was larded with crazy stories of security failures surrounding a South Korean dropoff of election ballots at the airport.

Of course they do. Voter registrations are public records, as are the records of who voted in each election. Anybody in the world who knows my name can search the Dallas County Elections website to find my address and my voting history, including the early voting sites that I used and the days I showed up to cast my ballot.

“Past experience with similar investigative efforts around the country has raised concerns that they can be directed at minority voters, which potentially can implicate the anti-intimidation prohibitions of the Voting Rights Act,”

Time for CJ Roberts to void another section of the VRA.
