Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro suggested that he would sue to block subpoenas issued as part of a state senator’s attempt to repeat Arizona’s audit of the 2020 election.
Remind me, what was Einstein’s definition of insanity?
Mastriano was part of a crowd of people that went behind police lines at the Capitol on Jan. 6 but did not enter the building, and has said that he complied with lawful orders that day.
Well, even Al Capone complied with lawful orders… at times.
I’m so fucking sick if this crap.
Just posted by Mr. Marshall:
So, if I understand the GOP position:
We need multiple investigations of the most successful, fraud-free, and fair vote in US electoral history.
But we must never investigate the most violent, seditious, and cop-killing attack in US Capitol history.
Because that would be “partisan”.
Have I got that right?
“ Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
It is increasingly clear that this defines virtually the entire RethugliQuon Party
OT: Excellent news, though this guy is apparently refusing to accept his firing.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha What do you mean you won’t leave? I think security needs to escort his ass out and take all his keys, etc.
If that isn’t flat-out assaulting an officer of the law … what is?
The GQP is full on with accepting private funds for these “fraudits”, but there are lawsuits being filed because local authorities accepted grant funds to assist more people to vote. These lawsuits have been filed elsewhere around the country also.
May be behind a paywall, but this is the gist of it…
The Amistad Project, a national conservative legal organization that calls itself the “leading election integrity watchdog,” on May 3 filed the complaint in Kenosha, and to date, have filed similar complaints on behalf of residents in Green Bay, Racine, Madison and Milwaukee.
There has been no resolution to date in any of the five complaints that have been filed.
Grants at issue
At the heart of the issue is $6.32 million in grants that were awarded prior to the 2020 presidential election by the Center for Tech and Civic Life. Kenosha received $657,000, according to a press release issued by The Amistad Project, which also stated the city received $10,000 as an “enticement” to join the other four cities in requesting funds.
Grant funds were received by 218 Wisconsin municipalities, both rural and urban, and both conservative and liberal, according to a filing made with the commission by the city.
Under what authority of PA law is this asshole requesting the voter material from the counties? When did state senates become investigative bodies, did I miss something in civics?
*Found this article, looks like his particular committee might not have the authority to ask for election records but who knows the GOP seems to make up new rules and powers only for themselves everyday and get away with it.
Now that choice of name there for this kind of org. is some irony, no?
Me too. At least Democrats are in charge in PA, and are fighting back hard.
“The investigation doesn’t mean that there was fraud — it’s designed to find out what happened,” Marks said of Mastriano’s probe.
Wow a lawyer who ran for office and doesn’t understand how elections work? Who’d a thunk it?
Indeed. It’s hard to find stories that don’t describe them as part of the “non-partisan” Thomas More society - a conservative Catholic law firm from Chicago that is against pretty much everything. They were part of the Texas lawsuit.
This article gives a good overview of their slanted lawsuit in six states.
I’ll be happy to explain what happened in Az to him. It just takes two words: Navajo Nation.
They flipped the state.
Some how the number of drop boxes per population is a concept that is foreign to the Amistad Project.
It’s so cute that they named it the Amistad Project. What does the Amistad have to do with a voter suppression organization?
Cultural appropriations ain’t just for the young’uns any more.
so the MAGA idiots want to go to court again?
why? so we can -once again - all watch them turn inside out when asked if they are formally claiming fraud in a courtroom?
funny how every single one of those bastards (including Rudy) swallowed their tongue when it came to making that assertion - in a courtroom- back in December / January
