Voting Tablet Gone After QAnon Clerk Barred From Running Election

I’m beginning to think these Q anon folks are kinda sketchy.

She described the tablet to Bridge Michigan as the “brains” of the machine.

She’s probably clipping resistors and capacitors out of it in an attempt to unsteal the vote.

I’m sure the legal system will sort this out and administer proper sanctions. By sometime in 2042.

TPM, covering all the little stories like nobody’s business. Plus banker’s hours. Not bad.

I love how much evil they can hide behind childish barnyard metaphor.

Sure sounds like Ms. Qanon sure didn’t want them to see what she had done to that machine.

Stealing parts of the voting machine does not look like you’re guarding the ‘vote’. Just sayin’…

When I was a wee lad, if I got my hands on an old radio or whatever, I would take it apart to try and figure out how it worked. I assume Ms. Scott discovered about as much truth as I did in the old days.

Let’s not rush to judgment on this.

The thing about tablets is they are the #1 best source of 6-point match prints you’ll ever find.

Well, if you’re convinced that the Jews are using an Italian military satellite to target said voting machine to help Hugo Chavez steal the vote from his compound in China, then disabling the machine is guarding the vote.

I think they all believe that if one of them can prove anything that remotely resembles voter fraud they’ll be lauded as The One who saved the republic or some such BS.

You do realize that TPM recently unionized? Would you have them work 24x7? If so, we aren’t paying enough for our political titillation.

I forget, where you here when TPM was involved in the US Attorney firing scandal und GWB? Seemed at the time that that was also a small story. Until it wasn’t.

Good point. I think these people have given up on finding any other meaning in their lives. This is what defines them. They’re ugly, their family hates them, they have trash strewn about on their property, etc. etc.

“When you have the fox guarding the hen house, somebody’s got to stand up and guard those hens,” Scott said.

However, all Republican dominated legislatures of states that voted for Biden (and some that don’t) are very busy installing foxes in all relevant positions. Going as far as Arizona’s wanting to give themselves the power of decide who the presidential electors are going to be. They are rigging the electoral process to make sure no democrat ever wins again. And since republicans control a majority of states from the Electoral College point view, I don’t think we will ever see another Democratic president ever.

That is why feel this whole “Infrastructure” and free community college and parental leave is completely irrelevant, Trump or DiSantis are just going to issue executive orders doing away with them. Democratic energy would be better spent weeding out wingnuts from the courts, the military and the law enforcement agencies to be in a better position when the truckload of shit his the high bypass turbines.
