The terrible sand people of the terrible sand kingdom of Arizonastan.
We all know that the Big Lie is a big lie told by a big liar, amiright? Anyway, the AP (again! they are on a roll today) did their own investigation into the Fraudit being conducted by the Terrible Sand Kingdom of Arizonastan and found… bupkis:
AP: Few AZ voter fraud cases, discrediting Trump’s claims
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year’s presidential election, further discrediting former President Donald Trump’s claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state’s most populous county.
An Associated Press investigation found 182 cases where problems were clear enough that officials referred them to investigators for further review. So far, only four cases have led to charges, including those identified in a separate state investigation. No one has been convicted. No person’s vote was counted twice.
In other words, the voting integrity checks worked as designed. I’mma go out on a limb and guess that the majority of those problems were frauds committed in Hair Füror’s favor, too. Also.
While it’s possible more cases could emerge, the numbers illustrate the implausibility of Trump’s claims that fraud and irregularities in Arizona cost him the state’s electorate votes. In final, certified and audited results, Biden won 10,400 more votes than Trump out of 3.4 million cast.
We are talking about 100-200 ballots, max, out of millions. There is NO evidence that anywhere near 1,000, let alone 10,000 ballots were voted incorrectly.
Your move, Cyber Ninjas. Everyone is watching you.
It isn’t their move to prove fraud….it’s to create enough smoke that sufficient numbers of people believe there is fraud. Karen Fann doesn’t give a crap whether the fraudit numbers are right or not; it’s just an excuse to let the Lege decide who wins an election, not the voters.
The AZ GQP has been infected with a strain of Sovereign Citizen virus for decades: The State Legislatures are supposed to be where the final arbiter where all ultimate political power lies in this country lies. (aka The Confederate States of America, both the first, which got supplanted by the US Constitution, and the second, which got supplanted by General Sherman going through and burning shit down.)
AZ has laws that let any legislator object to any law or regulation promulgated by any lesser political body (City, county, school board, etc) and demand that the Attorney general investigate whether it contravenes any state law or regulation, and if it does the body must repeal it on pain of losing any and all state appropriations to any entity in that political body.
(If some fucknut republican from, say, prescott, decides that they don’t like how Pima county is doing something, and the attorney general finds in fucknut’s favor, we could lose any and all state money gcoming to this county, including, biut not limited to The University of Arizona, State Police, Department of motor vehicles, etc. We would, of course, have to keep paying taxes…)
They then turn around piously intone “The government that governs best is the government closest to the people”

You gotta read it like a wing-nut, and mean it:
…182 cases … *four cases … ^twice
(182*4)^2 = 529,984 !!!1!

That would be me, Doug. Come and ask me if I voted.

Hey, it’s not their money that’s getting spent. Maricopa County taxpayers are over the barrel for $3+ million right now because these hoopleheads have fubared their (brand fucking new, btw) voting machines, because despite the State Senate saying they would cover that, I can guaran-damn-tee that the State Senate is gonna renege on that.

I saw a clip today where the My Pillow asshole was raving about how the Arizona audit somehow gave TFG momentum in the massive voter fraud campaign, and how the Biden administration’s decisions were destroying America, so that it was necessary for Trump to be installed before 2022.
Why can’t this piece of shit be arrested for inciting insurrection against the duly elected President? Honestly, why is this acceptable? “Freedom of speech?” He’s really advocating the violent overthrow of the Government? Since when is that allowed?
I’d perp walk the deranged piece of shit into a federal jail and let him prove an insanity defense.

It’d be nice if “news” sources would educate people on the concept of chain of custody, and the obliteration of it in Arizona. I accept absolutely nothing from the fraudit.
BTW, I’ve heard about batches of votes in Georgia being 100-0 for Biden. Turns out there were 100-0 batches for Trump, too. The batches were apparently pre-sorted. (Why?). Not that that will matter to those whose minds are made up.
