After years of being a laboratory for normalizing election fraud, plutocracy would be the next logical step.

The attorney’s statement that they wouldn’t “purposefully” submit fraudulent signatures feels like a Freudian slip to me

Yes, Virginia, there is election fraud.

It’s just that it’s carried out by plutocrats and right-wing republican wackos.

So is this the electoral version of “He who smelt it dealt it, he who denied it supplied it”?

Whatever the GOP accuses others of, it is almost always itself guilty of. Whether this is misdirection or denial, it’s all the same.

I lived in Florida (Daytona Beach) from 1977-1980. I still have a brother and many nieces and nephews living down there. I will never go back. What a cesspool of corruption. And I originally was born and raised in Chicago, which was famously corrupt, but at least in Chicago things got done, and when people needed help the politicians gave it to them because they knew their jobs depended on it. Of course, they were all Democrats, not rich autocratic Florida Republicans like DeSantis, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Laurel Lee and the rest of them.

“The idea that our committee would purposely submit fraudulent petitions is ridiculous,” … but true.

I don’t have any data, but I suspect fraudulent signatures on these localized initiatives are pretty common. I recall two local ones that were found to have faked signatures in So Calif back in the 80s. The perpetrators were not surprisingly those with a vested interest in the matter. Two data points do not a trend make.

I just love how he condemns the “idea” without condemning the fraud, knowing that most people are so fucking stupid they hear “We didn’t do that.”

If I may play diction police, I see “secretive” used in place of “secret”.
I’ve been seeing this misuse a lot lately.
The former refers to behavior; the latter refers to something not to be seen by others.

The courts and prosecutors never seem to apply those draconian laws and sentences to Republicans voting illegally.
