Clearly an airtight defence. Astute, as one would expect from people who think sheriffs outrank the state and federal government. Eminently qualified to be AG of Michigan.
It is early.

This is why you need to go after these people aggressively, especially in these swing states with statewide offices on the ballot.
Every state with an elector fraud scheme should have been tying up every R within sniffing distance with subpoenas, investigations, charges, and a high degree of publicity. J6C could do a lot in that regard. What better battlegrounds than PA, MI, GA, AZ, WI, NM, NV to have their whole upper tier of R names being smeared and picked apart…with the narrative being firmly rewritten that Ds didn’t do a single thing wrong but your entire R party was attempting to hack and ratfuck and overturn every ballot in the state including Republican votes? As far as I know only MI and GA are making noise about this. WI has a D gov and and D AG and there has been silence.

Here in PA, our current AG, Josh Shapiro, is running for governor. Against Doug Mastriano. I’ve seen little to no evidence of state level, criminal investigations into Mastriano’s involvement or that of other state republicans.
Shapiro and Dem-backed PACs do have political ads that just hammer Mastriano for his involvement - but I don’t see the state pursuing criminal charges. I suspect that he is on the DOJ’s list, though.

This guy looks like he stepped out of a 1968 Sears Roebuck catalog.
Are we in some sort of time warp?

Sidney Powell apparently actively supported these efforts. The Trumpers really want to breach voting machines and alter data, which I think is drawn from the somewhat urban legend of Diebold in 2004 changing votes from Kerry to Trump in OH (In reality, I think the anti gay marriage ballot measure drove up rural turnout and that clipped Kerry in the end).

News coming so thick and fast it throws the crew into a reporting frenzy. But TPM is unionized, so not (one hopes) a sweatshop.

Well, all this, and the fact that Matt has the charisma of wet toast.
Remember back when the fake-electors scandal first hit? At first, it looked like some states had independently tried to substitute fake-electors for certified ones. Then Rachel Maddow noticed that the “certificates” which were signed by GOPers, all looked very similar. Same fonts, layouts, etc.
Later, we find that it was a scheme planned and coordinated by the Trump campaign, and involved hundreds of people, not least of these John Eastman and Peter Navarro.
Then we found out Trump held meetings about this scheme, and even enlisted the RNC into the plan.
Is it then, too much of a stretch to imagine that the plan to break into voting machines wasn’t exactly as coordinated and run by the Trump campaign?
Or am I just being paranoid?

This marked a critical juncture in the effort to sow doubt about the election: Election deniers now had access to official voting equipment.
And, having (by hook and crook) obtained that access to official voting equipment, they found … bubkes. And plenty of it.
No stolen votes. No bamboo fibers. No ghost of Hugo Chavez hiding in the memory chips.
Just a machine designed (and certified (but not after it had been tampered with by idiots)) to record the choices of actual voters.

I just sent my 3rd fundraising email back at
info@joshkaul.org
asking why there hasn’t been a peep about the WI elector fraud inside WI. How come the only news we hear is about Vos/Gableman? How come I hear more about it outside of WI? How come other states have moved decisively to refer their cases to the DOJ, and have investigations going? You might have my vote, but probably not any money if you can’t find enough gumption to protect your state’s elections.

This is what scares me. No law enforcement seems to be going after these thugs who seem determined to replace trump with trump or his clone to model the “soft” autocracy of Hungary.

actually had dirt behind it… not enough to yield any fruits from Senator Boxer’s challenge.
It wasn’t as much legend as mystery. And remains so.

CEO promised to deliver Ohio to Dubya, and then did.
On a system with zero paper backups to verify that votes hadn’t been flipped behind the scenes.

Yes it is.
“A top Republican internet strategist who was set to testify in a case alleging election tampering in 2004 in Ohio has died in a plane crash. Michael Connell was the chief IT consultant to Karl Rove and created websites for the Bush and McCain electoral campaigns. Michael Connell was deposed one day before the election this year by attorneys Cliff Arnebeck and Bob Fitrakis about his actions during the 2004 vote count in Ohio and his access to Karl Rove’s email files and how they went missing.”
I post this because I was at the scene of the Decemeber plane crash while working at the Akron Beacon Journal as a photographer. Shot all kinds of pictures. The interesting part was that they sent another photog down their later in the day on Saturday and when he came back he said that the entire area in the neighborhood that the plane crashed was completely clean. He had photos of it. Reporters at the paper heard several leaks of information that someone had hired a crew to go there and do this and supposedly all the debris was locked in an airplane hangar at the Canton/Akron Airport. No one ever got anymiore information about this strange occurance.
