The attorney general of AZ, Brnovich, is running for U.S. Senate. He has hopped on the Trump big lie bandwagon. Under pressure from Trump, in October 2021 he launched a formal investigation of the 2020 election. Brnovich has agents investigating the 2020 election. at least one agent who didn't know that AZ doesn't use machines that select choices on a ballot electronically or mechanically (with the exception of machines that assist disabled voters in filling a paper ballot). In 2020, AZ used all paper ballots. Arizona investigators caught admitting they don't believe Trump's 'big lie' — and don't know how elections work excerpt: "The agent later said, "We've never worked election stuff and don't really know a lot of the processes." In another exchange illustrating this point, the agent asked, "That's just the paper ballots, correct?" "Well, that's the only kind there are," Fontes responded. "Well, I mean people voting at the machines later on," the agent said. "I don't know what you mean by that," Fontes responded. "If I walk into a ballot place, do they do electronic voting at all?" the agent said. "No," Fontes responded. "OK, so everything's a paper ballot," the agent said. "Yes," Fontes responded. "OK, I'm a little confused," the agent said."
Arizona’s polling infrastructure is all paper ballots, even for those with disabilities By: Jerod MacDonald-Evoy November 2, 2020 1:20 pm Arizona’s polling infrastructure is all paper ballots, even for those with disabilities excerpt: "Arizona is one of 20 states where every single polling place has both hand-marked paper ballots and ballot-marking devices for people with a disability."
Arizona’s polling infrastructure is all paper ballots, even for those with disabilities excerpt: "In fact, the security of voting machines and their infrastructure has been a topic of national discussion as national regulation on their security has been absent. Even some BMDs in use by Arizona officials have been found to be prone to hacking and attack, although an attacker would need direct access to the equipment. This is the first year that no Arizona counties are using DREs. In 2018, Coconino, Maricopa and Pima counties all used DREs, but they all had VVPATs, according to Verified Voting. In 2016, La Paz and Yuma counties also used DREs with VVPATs. From 2006 to 2012, almost the entire state except Graham and Cochise county were using DREs with VVPATs."
Arizona’s polling infrastructure is all paper ballots, even for those with disabilities excerpt: "Arizona differs from states like Texas, which uses a variety of different means for voters across the state, according to data collected by researchers at Verified Voting. Only 11% of the Lone Star State uses hand-marked paper ballots, and nearly 36% of the state uses electronic voting machines without an electronic paper trail for all voters."
I thought Rafael was a constitutional expert, guess not, because if he was he would know that in 1869 the SCOTUS ruled that states could not secede.
Jailed MAGA Rioter: It's ‘Not Healthy’ Being ‘Stuck In a Bubble’ with Insurrectionists excerpt: "A violent Capitol rioter is seeking his pretrial release from the DC Jail, arguing that it’s “not healthy” to be “stuck in a bubble” with other insurrectionists who share his views. Robert Gieswein is member of the Three Percenters militia group who’s accused of assaulting police officers at the Capitol after traveling to Washington from Colorado “prepared for battle,” according to media reports. In a handwritten letter to U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan filed in court on Thursday, Gieswein wrote that he read a recent Vice News article about the “Patriot Wing” of the DC Jail, where he is housed with other hardcore perpetrators of the Jan. 6 insurrection."
I don't know why we bother with those pesky, outdated elections to begin with. Let's just give republicans / conservatives the power to decide EVERYTHING. What religion we must have and the number of times per month required to attend the state church, how much we send to the rich in taxes, what books are to be burned, who will be jailed / disappeared for attempting to exercise the ridiculous, antiquated idea of free speech, the number of guns that each household will be required to own, the banning of any and all political statements / parades, demonstrations , anti government actions under penalty of law, etc,etc. We need to have clear guidelines in all aspects of our lives so that we know what is required of us as free citizens of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, as has been achieved in various other unnamed great countries across the world.
Oh, poor rottenhouse. Just having a little fun rioting and the big kids ganged up on him. So, he shot them. So, who gets tagged with letting a 17yr old have access to that kind of rifle? Well, at the very least, daddy is going to get his nuts cut off with the wrongful death civil suits.
Lolos essentially says that the devil made him do it. Judge faults Trump for Jan. 6 attack excerpt: "Although Mehta blamed Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 riot, the judge faulted Lolos for refusing to take responsibility for his actions and attempting to justify his conduct repeatedly in remarks at his sentencing hearing. Mehta said he believed the 14-day sentence would be sufficient to deter Lolos from seeking to commit future politically motivated crimes. Even after the sentence was imposed, Lolos continued making his case, speaking over the judge. Lolos could be heard defending his conduct towards the police on Jan. 6 and saying that videos from the day will vindicate him. Eventually, Lolos’ own attorney, Edward McMahon, urged him to stop. “Mr. Lolos, the hearing is over,” MacMahon said just before reporters were disconnected from the audio line."

Don't forget the right to shoot anyone, at least four times, that you feel threatens you. I was walking downtown the other day and I saw some black guys looking at me; I felt very threatened.
https://www.courthousenews.com/capi...-prison-stretch-after-remorseless-court-rant/ excerpt: "WASHINGTON (CN) — A Capitol rioter who got kicked off of his flight home from Washington because he wouldn’t stop chanting “Trump 2020!” was sentenced to 14 days in prison on Friday, following a long-winded story in court that galled U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta. “I will say that I’m disappointed to hear a lot of what you had to say today,” Mehta told John Lolos, after Lolos doubled down on baseless theories of election fraud, insisted that he thought he was allowed to be in the Capitol building and accused the media of framing him and ruining his life. “It sounds to me like you’re wanting to justify your conduct,” Mehta interrupted Lolos during his story. Lolos rejected his lawyer’s attempt to talk to him and told Mehta he takes full responsibility for his actions before continuing his speech."
