Trump loyalists resurrect debunked Georgia election fraud claims

[Magnus]

The lie materialized on Friday afternoon and went viral on far-right social media accounts, just as a federal jury ruled that former President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani must pay $148 million to former Fulton County election staffers he falsely accused of voter fraud.

The post wrongly claimed that Gov. Brian Kemp’s legal staff notified Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that more than 17,000 “invalid” votes were tallied in Fulton County in 2020, echoing debunked conspiracy theories that Trump’s allies have pushed for years.

The accusation was quickly repudiated by state officials, but that didn’t stop Trump’s loyalists from spreading it. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, even used the invalid vote myth to suggest those who called her a “conspiracy theorist” were wrong.

I remember on another thread a couple of right-wingers bringing this up. Of course, when I challenged them to produce a link, they disappeared.

We had a few threads about it on here, the MAGA sheep are quick to act, and it is so damn much fun to see the football get pulled away yet again each time they do

Your fault, my fault, nobody's fault......The 2020 election will always be tainted in the minds of near half the country.

What will be remembered would be the fact that the right-wingers pulled a massive hissy fit because their fuhrer lost the election.

They not only trashed Congress but were ready to hang one of their own. That's the taint that the Republican party will never be rid of.

Whose fault it was actually does make a difference. Without trump conspiracy theories and lies, it wouldn't be an issue.

you are correct, relec. trump did taint the 2020 election, now nearly as notorious as 1876. it will take a generation to restore confidence.

just part of the continuimg chaos that surrounds most autocracy.

They have a right to reexamine. They do not have a right to try to hoax again. If they do that, put them in the docket with their peers already indicted.

great quote by the way. that scene between john wayne and richard boone , trading threats to blow each others heads off, was a great movie mom,ent.

i understand the appeal of wayne, the "strong silent type." seems the opposite of the loud mouthed bragart in chief.

after further review. was that "big jake?" because the scene was a masterpiece.

the dark, whispered conversation between wayne and boone as the rest of the cast engages in apocalyptic mayhem involving snipers, fast draw duels, pitchforks, dogs, and donkeys must have taken 10000 takes.

I don't think anything has been debunked or bunked, mostly courts have refused to proceed for one reason or another. This should have been a priority opportunity for a thorough and complete evaluation of the process but was never allowed to happen. All that resulted was more division and pouting by all sides, and nothing is resolved, and it still festers no matter how hard the lines are drawn.

Correct. Thus pointing out the danger of trump's lies and the cult that believes him.

It matters not, it's believed and that is all that matters at this point. The notion of a tainted 2020 election will still be believed long after Trump is dead and gone.
