Arizona vote 'audit' sinks deeper into insanity as state GOP chair threatens her own officials with arrest
Brad Reed May 20, 2021


The Trump-backed "audit" of the 2020 election in Arizona is sinking deeper into madness, as Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward this week threatened her own party's officials with arrest.

The Daily Beast reports that the audit has been driving divisions within the state GOP even deeper, and Ward is now pushing for the arrest of Republican election officials in Maricopa County if they refuse to comply with the auditors' demands.

"There have to be consequences," Ward earlier this week. "There could be arrests of people who are refusing to comply."

Additionally, some Trump supporters have accused Maricopa County elections official of shredding Trump ballots, feeding them to chickens, and then having the chickens incinerated to cover up the evidence.

On what charge?
What laws were broken?
Who is the injured party?

Doesn’t sound like any of these criteria are met

Your questions imply the rule of laws

This is the rule of personal whimsy.

Additionally, some Trump supporters have accused Maricopa County elections official of shredding Trump ballots, feeding them to chickens, and then having the chickens incinerated to cover up the evidence.

Because, I guess, they couldn't just shred the paper and incinerate it. They had to feed them to chickens before the incineration. I guess it makes it more evil or something
