Jim Marchant, the Republican candidate for Nevada’s secretary of state, has spent his campaign doing the opposite of an election chief’s duties: spreading lies about the legitimacy of several elections.
I did it, I stole all of those elections. And I’m going to do it again this year, so Republicans shouldn’t even bother to vote. After all, I can’t flip their ballots blue if they don’t actually cast a ballot. That’s just science.
Marchant suggests without evidence that the last reelections of four prominent Democrats — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, California Representative Adam Schiff, and New York Representative Jerry Nadler — were stolen.
The clip raises the familiar anti-semitic conspiracy theory that George Soros, a wealthy center-left donor, was somehow involved in ensuring the aforementioned Democrats’ reelection, even though each of them won several of their last races by large margins.
Remember when America shot Nazis instead of electing them?

It looks like Hitchens’s razor fits here. Anything that can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
I read an utterly chilling, also utterly unsurprising, comment from a Trumper in the New York Times this weekend: “Facts are whatever you want them to be.” I guess I thought the American public was a lot smarter and savvier than it is…you just shake your head in despair.
They’re trying to goad sane people into enacting their conspiracy theories. I know I’m beginning to think some folks should be locked away from the public and re-educated
They are smarter…but they have been under siege for seven years from a media/propaganda/criminal/demoralization/lying spree the likes of which no American population has ever experienced.
Only quill and ink will be permitted to fill out your ballot. Ball point pens are the devil’s handiwork. Don’t even get me started on punch ballots. 3 million people died due to using punch ballots in the 2000 election.
The American population was engaged in a great deal of uncertainty from Dec. 1941 to Sept. 1945. Some would shorten that period for months in which various groups of Americans could breathe a sigh of relief.
With Trump, we have been under siege from the time he came down the escalator in 2015 to NOW
We still do not know if we will be able to keep Congress.
When press secretary and all around dolt and lying liar Sean Spicer lied in a press conference, oh, and Dancing With the Stars Competitor, Kellyanne Conway called them alternative facts. That’s we have here. Don’t like the news or the facts? Go and make up some of your own.
