In a Republic, actually
ā€˜The two Republicans who control the elected board in a rural Arizona county have sued their own elections director to force her to conduct a greatly expanded hand-count of ballots cast in the Nov. 8 elections, a standoff that could affect certification of the results.

They want Cochise County Elections Director Lisa Marra to hand over the roughly 12,000 ballots cast on Election Day to the county recorder, an elected Republican. The elected county prosecutor warned the private lawyers representing the two GOP board members that taking ballots without authorization could subject their clients to felony charges.

At a raucous board meeting Tuesday, several members of the public berated the two Republicans on the three-member board for pursuing the hand-count and seeking to pay for the case with county funds. One called a board member a ā€œdemagogueā€ who is ā€œmaking a disgusting shamā€ of the democratic process.

The push to hand-count ballots in the Republican-heavy county in the stateā€™s southeast corner, which is home to the iconic Old West town of Tombstone, gained impetus from false claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud and voting machine conspiracy theories in the last presidential contest. There has been no evidence of widespread fraud or manipulation of voting machines in 2020 or during this yearā€™s midterm elections.ā€™


Even after the GOP 2022 midterm disaster, having been comprehensively repudiated by the voters,
Republicans arenā€™t giving up on lies about ā€˜fraudā€™ and ā€˜cheating.ā€™

What are you trying to hide? Get a hand recount and put everyone's mind to rest. Or are you afraid fraud will be discovered?
 
The push to hand-count ballots in the Republican-heavy county ~ ~ ~ gained impetus from false claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud

FALSE claims? Where is the evidence supporting your allegation? They may not be legally proven to the satisfaction of a court of law, but that is a far cry from saying they are FALSE, because that means they've been DISPROVEN.

I'm sure you have evidence to support that?

Meanwhile, a sitting government official in charge of voting (Hobbs) 'wins?' Come on....The irony is thick here. She won by only .68. If you believe Hobbs won fair and square, you believe in fairy tales.

All they have is Democrat talking points and MSM stories based on Democrat talking points. They live in their own little world where everyone agrees with them. What they don't realize is how insular their little group of alt lefties is.
 
Isn't it funny how they hide from everything, then accuse others who don't believe them!
They always accuse others of the same garbage they do. This gives them an advantage because they already know all the sordid details that they will try to pin on the competition. Marx - 101

LOL. Of course, itā€™s all ā€œTrumpā€™s faultā€.

Stealing elections has consequences. You know you expect everyone to accept it and not say anything. Well too bad, some people are willing to fight for our republic.
 
These Trump supporting crackpots are a danger to our electoral system and our country.

Let's be honest, they're traitors to this great country. Trying to destroy our democracy.

If caught doing ANYTHING illegal they should be arrested and prosecuted. All they do is cause trouble - as if working for a foreign government. (Russia? China?).

Everyone knows Trump would sell his soul for a fucking dime.

Bullshit Democrat talking points. Go soak your head Monkey.

Often in the end ā€œfalseā€œ claims made by Trump turn out to be true.

 
Funny how the more Democrats and Leftists talk out loud, the more they sound just like the 1941 Nazis talking about the Jews!

Bullshit. Trump claimed he was wiretapped in Trump Tower; and neither Durham, nor Horowitz, nor Barr, nor anyone on this planet ever proved that.
