    It’s not even this that I’m worried about, it’s the voter purge that all these states are conveniently doing. And I can’t imagine the percentage of those purged voter rolls that are democrat.

    Crosby and Judd out in AZ are still walking free 2 years after they refused. Their trial just got delayed until January 2025. These two a$$hats are still on the 3-member board of supervisors and will be responsible for certifying the elections next month.

  4. I knew this was going to get shot down in court but I didn’t expect it so quickly. Letting random unelected salaried workers have equal/more power than judges was never going to happen

  5. The new thing going on is states like VA(?) making rules that they will withhold their electors if any other states are in question. I believe TX will get on this bandwagon. The goal is to create a domino effect of “election integrity issues” that leads to widespread unrest and the vote going to the House/SC.

  6. The fact that a ruling from a judge was even necessary is absolutely fucking *mind-boggling*.

    This country has sunk so far. Hopefully Harris and Walz can bring us back from the brink — especially if they get a Democratic House and Senate as well!

  7. How are these board members replaced if they go to jail, say for not certifying? Governor?

    I can predict the R playbook now.

    They plan to refuse to certify, but if this goes through and are forced to:

    They will still refuse.

    They may face penalties of some kind or arrest for refusing.

    Republicans will go on social media and spin it and create a narrative that they are arresting election officials to steal the election.

    Fake news will get out of control and rile up another angry mob who think that stopping Trump from trying to steal the election is authoritarian election fixing.

  9. So, can the judge just start throwing the board members in jail until they decide to certify?

    Of course courts’ role is to restrain democrats, as republicans will ignore them as usual.
