This is all about keeping their idiot base stirred up AND confusing as many potential Democratic voters as possible about who the good guys are.

2022 election coming up fast after all. They need to maximize the useful idiots on the left if they're not to get pounded.

The DOJ should have taken down the Arizona scam weeks ago when the Arizona SOS reported violations of federal election laws. Why won't the GQP go to every state that is controlled by Republicans if there are no consequences for what is going on in Arizona?

Their warning did nothing. NOTHING. And that was over two weeks ago. Where the fuck are they? Are we taking the high road, again?

1) Isn't somebody appealing this? The entire state did a couple machine recounts, AND they did a hand recount of the entire state, something like 5 million ballots. What exactly is the POINT?

2) I can see why the DOJ might not want to swoop-in and shut them down, resulting in the RightWing nutballs screaming coverup. But since they're not election experts, they could notify them if they don't keep the proper chain-of-custody and other procedures, they could get hit with HUGE expenses on their part.

11. Go after every mail in ballot in red districts.

Or swing districts that went red. We KNOW Republicans are corrupt, and at their MOST corrupt under Trump.

I don’t believe 74million people voted for Traitor Trump.
