MAGA activists in Arizona are planning a Black Friday protest to demand a revote after the GOP slate of four prominent election deniers was rejected by voters.
The far-right Gateway Pundit reports, "patriots in Arizona demanding a re-do of the 2022 general election have organized a protest near the Arizona Capitol this Friday at 9 a.m. and through the weekend before counties canvass the results. The protest will include a peaceful gathering and opportunities to hold signs and banners on highways across the state."
Donald Trump has also said he wants the GOP to get a mulligan and re-do the vote in Arizona after Kari Lake lost for governor, Blake Masters lost his U.S. Senate bid, Abe Hamadeh lost for attorney general, and state Sen. Mark Finchem lost for secretary of state.
Jen Fifield, who covers Arizona election for the nonprofit newsroom Votebeat, reported, "There's a call circulating on far-right channels today for a 9 a.m. Friday protest for a 'revote' at the Arizona Capitol. One commentator on Gettr is calling it an 'Arizona spring,' telling people to bring guns so that if 'FBI informants' start to shoot they can shoot back."

Let these fools have their circle jerk.
We have nothing to gain from tussling with them.

I mentioned this to my wife this morning; who ever in the entirety of the history of the U.S., or any state constitution, came up with this asinine notion that anyone would just redo an election? The amount of coordination and effort to put together a state wide election, and to just say oops, we fucked that one, lets do it again. Imbeciles.
The best part, lawsuit filed by the failed AG candidate states in the very first statement, that the do not allege any fraud or malicious intent, so basically they are suing to force a recount that was already going to happen based on the numbers.. they just want to be able to say they are suing because

They seem shocked that AZ would become Blue, since we have 2 Democratic US senators, and up until this election, we had a D majority of Congress members.

I cant think of a state or federal election that ever held a re-vote. There is no provision in any Constitution I know of.
Anyone..?
