1. At this point they should be told where they can go shove their audits.

[FloridaBlues]

2. It's time for the people in Az to get out and voice their opposition.

This is the taxpayers money.

5. At least Kelli Ward isn't a lawmaker

and cannot actually make any of this happen.

But there are plenty of idiots in the Arizona legislature who might be listening to her.

I agree that the state's taxpayers need to get angry and loud.

3. When cultists run into inconvenient reality, they just switch to a new reality.

There is quite literally nothing that will convince a cultist to change their mind.

-Witness people dying of Covid who refuse to recognize that Covid is real. The election cultists (and yes, there is a lot of overlap) behave the same way. There is no amount of evidence or proof that will convince them.

4. I'm lost here

is the difference between an "audit" (which it wasn't) and a "canvass"?

[Celerity]

7. a full canvass is going door to door and getting up in peoples' faces

[Lancero]

14. And with the Republiban doing it...

They'll be waving around guns, giving incentive for a person to give the 'right' answer.

[Celerity]

16. oh, if it actually happened (it wont, not at this stage) multiple shooting deaths would likely ensue

it is insanity

[Silent3]

12. In this case, I think it would mean someone tracking done and questioning each individual voter...

...to ask them who they voted for, and matching those numbers to the election count. Which is, of course, insane, impractical, and a violation of the privacy of the voters.

I don't think the real technical meanings of the words matter here anyway. The game plan is to always insist there were "problems" that "need to be answered" whenever you don't get the result you want, to claim that whatever gave you an unwanted result was "clearly" rigged and/or insufficient to uncover the "problems" which exist because you say they exist, as a matter of faith, or a matter of feigned pretense.

6. and the official dems response to this is....? nt

[gratuitous]

8. Arizona Republicans don't think the state can hold an election

That's what she's saying, isn't it? That Arizona suddenly lost the ability to hold an election? I wonder how state officials like being told they're that incompetent?

19. And all of these Republicans were elected by the same flawed system, I suppose.

I guess they ought to be questioning their own election results.

9. The hell with Kelli Ward

Too bad I’m not a Democratic state legislator in Arizona. On Monday morning I would be dropping an across-the-board 25 percent tax increase with the funds earmarked for dead horse beating activities demanded by the Republicans.

Let me see…

1) In November 2020 a presidential election was held. President Joe Biden won the state. He was inaugurated on January 20, 2021, and cannot be removed from office before January 20, 2025, by any mechanism other than impeachment and conviction. It must be noted that four impeachment trials for presidents have occurred in the United States Senate and none succeeded, so President Biden’s job is safe.
2) Since that time the Arizona Republican Party has spent taxpayer dollars nonstop to try to prove President Biden lost the state. In the most famous episode, the “Cyber Ninjas” proved President Biden received more votes in Maricopa County than the official count indicates, and former President Trump received fewer.
3) Since the GOP seems unable to accept reality, I hereby file the Dead Horse Beating Enhancement Act. It has four sections.
4) Section 1 provides for raising all state-level Arizona taxes by 25 percent.
5) Section 2 restricts the Arizona Republican Party to using only funds raised by the Dead Horse Beating Enhancement Act for their quixotic quest.
6) Section 3 provides that the tax increase will be suspended as soon as every elected Republican in the state provides a signed statement in which they admit the election results are in fact accurate and that they will cease efforts to overturn the election. The funds collected by the new tax will be returned to the citizens of Arizona six months after the letters are signed.
7) Section 4 provides that if the Arizona Republican Party or any member of that organization, if they decide to mount another idiotic election challenge after the funds have been returned, will be charged with the felony of Fiscal Mismanagement, be fined the sum of one thousand one-hundred twenty dollars ($1120), be imprisoned in the Arizona State Prison for forty-six (46) days, and will be permanently barred from owning guns or holding elected office.

10. Must be new orders from merd-a-lago.

...

[Marthe48]

13. Should I post the definition of insanity?

Although no matter how often it is quoted, doesn't change the r's.

The definition I have in mind: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

And I wonder if the r's who survive Covid-19 are going to get tired of this exercise in futility and change parties?

[blm]

15. Put her under oath and ask her to explain the evidence

she has that would warrant such an extreme and costly undertaking.

Details, please, Ms Ward. Take your time. Don’t leave anything out.

[Takket]

17. and I want the body of a Chippendale and the sexual prowess of Don Juan....

but that is every bit as much of a fantasy.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Is the entire GOP mentally ill and deluded?

It's sure starting to look that way.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. "Audit till we win" because they can't win elections on their ideas. nt

[Nictuku]

21. When they say "canvas"

Does that mean going door to door and asking people how they voted?

I thought that our votes were private.
