“With 102 deniers on election boards in the swing states, the potential for creating chaos is enormous.”
More than 100 election officials across eight swing states in the U.S. presidential race have engaged in partisan election denial in recent years, raising fears they could try to turn the November result in favor of Republican nominee Donald Trump, according to a report released Friday.
The 88-page report, produced by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), details the election denial history of 102 county and state election officials in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. The authors found that election deniers have majority control of 15 county election boards in those states and of the statewide board in Georgia.
“What was striking to us about our research is how much election denialism and the voter fraud lie have infiltrated and taken over the Republican apparatus in each of these critical states,” Arn Pearson, CMD’s executive director, told The Guardian.
Yes. Again, as we here all know, THAT’S THE PLAN.
When they crammed these bullshit ‘certification’ laws through in early 2021 (what else happened then? Nothing i guess) it was lying in wait for this moment coming up in seven weeks.
Maybe corporate news could explain that to Captain BigTruck and the Book Burnin’ Karen Klubs around the country. Instead of doing the absolute least possible and pretending they’ve done their job.
Looking forward to it. Should be fun when the chaos starts and legitimate votes start being questioned in my state.
“fun”
Yes, as enjoyable as slamming your head against a brick wall over and over again until you pass out.
Everyone needs to vote to cover “the margin of shenanigans” that undoubtedly will arise in swing states and to ensure a popular vote so high that a certain crybully will cry harder.
Isn’t that the Project 2025 plan? The bloodless coup thing?
Refuse to certify. Kick it to the house where Mike also refuses to certify. And if too many DEMs win for a flip refuse to certify them. Kick it to the states where each Governor gets one vote. Right now, that’s a Trump win.
Constitutional. Happened once in American history.
Which election was that?
