How false claims of voter fraud tarnished
trust in Arizona elections

Arizona has been at the epicenter of false claims of voter fraud since the 2020 presidential elections, rhetoric that persists as the swing state braces for the rematch of a presidential contest that triggered chaos and conspiracy theories nearly four years ago. [SNIP] Garrett Archer, an ABC15 data analyst and a former senior elections analyst for the Arizona secretary of state, recalled claims of rigged elections dating back to the 2000s, but said they didn’t compare to the supercharged allegations of voter fraud fueled by Trump, his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and high-profile republicans in Arizona. Archer said the false claims “blew up,” and ignited demonstrations across Phoenix.

I guarantee that these same people will be screaming for recounts and court challenges if Trump wins by a narrow margin in Arizona. They hide behind the illusion that counting all ballots is a fair process. Well-documented independent audits in Arizona and other swing states showed a loss of integrity in the mail-in ballot counting procedures that undermined the public's trust in their certifiability. The country was gaslighted into accepting the results of a defective process. You can say the election was fair until you are blue in the face, but the truth is what survives. If a significant number of people perceive the election was unfair, and there is no attempt to address this perception in a non-partisan authoritative way, it will remain in our collective memory as truth.

False claims? Election laws changed by officials, not legislatures, to increase voting days, no excuse mail in ballots sent to everyone, voter rolls not cleaned, illegals added to voter rolls, vote counts made by partisans, no audits of election results, recounts that do nothing but recount the illegal votes, no signature verification, lockouts of Republican oversight, Republicans who sign off on election counts after threats to themselves and their families, vote counts disclosed to Democrat operatives before an election is called, Democrat DA's elected by Soros that will not enforce any election laws, no voter ID, more votes than registered voters in many places, ballots mailed to post office boxes and vacant lots, corrupt mail personnel that do not collect or throw away ballots, double and triple scans of ballots at vote counting centers, candidates selected by party machinery not voters. That is a short list of why elections are nothing but frauds.

Mujahid made his declaration on the first day of a meeting that took place this weekend in Qatar led by the United Nations aimed at improving relations with Afghanistan.

Imposing a Permanent Gag Order on Trump:
How long until the same doctrine is being

Posted by OhioNick 6/21/2024 11:49:31 PM Post Reply
Gag orders, constitutionally dubious, are meant to protect the integrity of a judicial proceeding. However, even with the trial over, the gag orders imposed on former President Trump are not going away. DA Bragg’s office (which had just freed the antisemitic Columbia Hamas rioters) demanded a continuation of the gag order which prohibits him from commenting on the individuals involved in the trial. Since Trump is also running for president and Biden is spending $50 million to attack him over the various Democrat trials imposed on him, this effectively bans a presidential candidate from debating a campaign issue.

A mob in north-western Pakistan has broken into a police station, snatched a man who was held there and then lynched him over allegations that he had desecrated Islam's holy book, the Koran. The dead man, Mohammad Ismail, was a tourist who had been staying at a hotel in the town when a gang of locals turned on him and accused him of blasphemy. The attackers also torched the station in Madyan, a town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and burned police vehicles parked there, according to local police officials.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden's conduct behind closed doors, in the Oval Office, on Air Force One and in meetings around the world is described in the same dual way by those who regularly see him in action. He is often sharp and focused. But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn't grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people's names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room. Biden’s occasional struggles with focus may not be unusual for

Joseph Morelle of New York, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, sent a letter to colleagues informing them of his intent to file the resolution, which would kickstart what’s traditionally a cumbersome amendment process. “This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do — prioritize our democracy,” Morelle said in a statement to AP. In referring to Donald Trump, Morelle said the former president “must be held accountable for his decisions.

Democrats have a ready-made replacement if Joe Biden stands aside before November's election. She's been vetted. Her election would be historic. And she would easily take up the Biden mantle. There's one problem: Her name is Kamala Harris and by every measure she is the most unpopular vice president in American history – and among the least likely people to defeat Donald Trump in a general election fight. But Democrats may be stuck with her anyway. Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile explained the party's challenge most succinctly.

The alleged intruder then reportedly sought entrance again, and was again told to leave. Thereafter, the homeowner “heard noises in the backyard and upon investigation, encountered the same man.” The homeowner then grabbed his shotgun and was standing with his wife when the intruder allegedly lunged at him.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre pronounced Harris as Biden’s political heir, at one point referring to her as “president,” when asked about his 2020 campaign remark that he would be a “transitional” candidate. “One of the reasons why he picked the vice president, President [sic] Kamala Harris, is because she is indeed the future of the party,” Jean-Pierre said at her regular briefing.
