Keeping The Big Lie Alive

This is getting beyond ridiculous. This group Cyber Ninjas should have never been allowed to do what they are.

A completely partisan organization that is trying to do all of this in secret and block anyone from seeing what they are doing.

.

They are pretending to be cops and trying to deny people access, even after a real policeman told her where to go.

One of the things I wonder is if they are validating the signatures and recording who voted for whom ?

I see they are photocopying our ballots and wonder if they know who those ballots are from and WTF will be done with the information they are gathering in this process. 

I'm with you Ender this should not have been allowed to begin with.

This surely is a secretive witch hunt done in public view. 

No way will this be believable under these circumstances. Just more division that you and I are paying for that will be used against we the people to help divide US. 

Ridiculous !!

One of our local news reporters got a picture of a retired republican of public office (not sure what) sitting there counting ballots. Illegally !

She is now banned. 

It was aired on our local news and she was sued, then quickly found to not be illegal that she took the picture (they sued her for the picture's content of the ballot) it didn't show what the lawsuit claimed and the case against her was instantly dismissed.

What a political circus !

All in the quest for power !

Even our governor Republican Ducey has said over and over that our election process is sound.

I actually do try to be open and not completely partisan .. Good Me too. I think we are stronger when both sides work together for the good of all. 

................................................

As a party they are making it harder. But like with the police I still don't think they are all bad.

And not all bad politicians IMO: are republican.

IMO: Bad politicians are put into power by both sides because of straight party line voting. Some people vote not even knowing who they are giving power to. Just a D or and R is all they need.

I'd say like we have seen it for many years now.

One side "rules" till the other side has had all they will take, then they finally unify enough to take power back and the dance is repeated.

Yes it's sad and unproductive. But sadly that is where we have been and still are.

Steve, I'm saying this not to be argumentative, but to illustrate my position on a point on which we've disagreed elsewhere.  Stuff like this is why the Democrats don't want to compromise with Republicans, and in many ways, I think they may be wise on that position.  The GOP has unfortunately become too partisan for rational discussion or for bipartisanship to be expected to work.  Party leadership seems to care only about winning - not democracy, not the law, not common decency.  I don't think it's the entire party, but too many of those in power are hyperpartisan, and they squelch the voices of the rest too often.  There is no compromise with irrationality.  Until the GOP figures out a way to shed the irrational and blatantly dishonest among themselves, they should not expect compromise.

Ender, if you feel this is off topic, I will gladly delete it.

Denying someone a seat on the Court isn't a threat to our judiciary.  Literally increasing the number of justices for partisan reasons is. 

Just imagine if Trump and the Republicans  simply decided to add 3 more justices to ensure the results they wanted.  The same people supporting Biden's court packing plan would have been calling it the biggest scandal in American history. 

And as to your second point, I have addressed it before.  They didn't.  

Of course they did. The Congressional record is there for anyone to see. Not to mention claiming voting machines were tampered with etc etc.. It's amazing how dishonest liberals are about their own history to avoid taking responsibility.

That's not what I said at all. I said Republicans are acting like Dems have the last 20 years. There's  no advocacy "to be worse."  It's simply pointing out how dishonest it is for Democrats to pretend to be outraged when Republicans use their own tactics against them.

Absent a situation that hasn't occurred yet, no one should challenge the certification of elections in Congress. Both Democrats and Republicans need to  lose without claiming the Presidential, or governor's election was stolen.

Denying someone a seat on the Court isn't a threat to our judiciary.

When it's based on partisanship, it does.  It calls into question the impartiality of the Court.

And yeah, here's that Congressional Record you were talking about:

  This objection does not have at its root the hope or even the hint of 
overturning the victory of the President;  but it is a necessary, 
timely, and appropriate opportunity to review and remedy the most 
precious process in our democracy. I raise this objection neither to 
put the Nation in the turmoil of a proposed overturned election nor to 
provide cannon fodder or partisan demagoguery for my fellow Members of 
Congress. I raise this objection because I am convinced that we as a 
body must conduct a formal and legitimate debate about election 
irregularities. I raise this objection to debate the process and 
protect the integrity of the true will of the people.

It's almost like you forget who made this a partisan issue to begin with? (bork).., Then filibustering circuit  and then Supreme Court nominations? 

And by all means, tell me how how packing 4 democratic partisan justices onto the Court won't call into  question the impartiality of the court?  Court packing will destroy the court and ruin it's credibility. 

 here's that Congressional Record you were talking about:

Yes, a vote to contest the election is a vote to contest the election.   Which the Democrats have done the last three times they've lost the Presidential election.  Just because they knew they'd lose doesn't change that they voted to contest the election.

Oh, BTFW, here is a definition of court packing:

Here's another:

People often use "court packing" to describe changes to the size of the Supreme Court, but it's better understood as any effort to manipulate the Court's membership for partisan ends. A political party that's engaged in court packing will usually violate norms that govern who is appointed (e.g., only appoint jurists who respect precedent) and how the appointment process works (e.g., no appointments during a presidential election).

But again, limit your sources and definition if you must.

It seems to me that the Arizona Rangers are flirting with impersonation of police officers.  I believe that's illegal.

The Arizona GOP has largely shown that they are not interested in democracy.  There are exceptions, of course.  But they run the risk of being censured by the Arizona GOP, who seem much more devoted to kissing Trump's ass than to free and fair elections.

Yes, but...

What happens at the next election?  Can anyone really trust that their vote is being counted, if the party in charge goes to such great lengths to find reasons to cast out votes they don't like?

Their insistence that they are trying to ensure that there's no election fraud has the exact opposite effect when they hire such blatantly partisan people to "audit" the results under such secretive conditions.

If I were an Arizonan, I wouldn't trust this audit as far as I could throw the stadium where it's being carried out, and I'd have serious doubts about the fairness of any future election.

Now all of a sudden our mail in ballot system, that has been just fine with no reported problems since it’s inception, needs to be shored up? Why, because the state broke for the Democrats for a change and against a historically unpopular president?

Sorry if I don’t find that to be a convincing argument, and that really is all the state GOP has put forward. They haven’t presented any evidence of fraud or anything else, leaving the only reasonable conclusion to be that the statewide races didn’t go the way of the party in power wanted.

for free,

Ain't nothin for free.

Who's paying the bills?

There was little transparency Thursday, though, about who exactly is footing the bill.

The Senate contracted with Cyber Ninjas to conduct the audit and produce a report in about 60 days for $150,000.

But Logan confirmed Thursday his company had received outside funding for the audit, too.

Prominent supporters of former President Donald Trump have solicited donations for the audit. Former Trump administration official Christina Bobb has publicly appealed for donations and is also on site as a broadcaster for the right-wing channel One America News Network.

Neither Bennett nor Logan would say how much the audit will cost.

What reeks even more is they are only auditing several key aspects. Just the one race in the one county and I think two other races Dems won.

So not even a state wide 'audit', just a partisan hit on races they didn't like the outcome.

They are not there to examine the evidence and see where it leads, they are there to prove a predetermined conclusion. You want to know what shakes people’s faith in elections? This kind of crap, indulging in delusions and not stamping out nonsense conspiracy theories when they arise.

I just wonder how the chain of custody of the ballots is going to be upheld. They seemed to be pretty loose with their handling of the ballots. I also wonder if they are scanning the documents into some type of database, which would mean that they can be reproduced, at will, with digital alterations and substituted for the original.... The courts can't be stupid enough to let the tech company have digital instruments that are not monitored, can they????

PHOENIX — With news outlets finally getting access to independently view what work is being done with nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Arizona, we've seen men and women scanning images of ballots, and other cameras taking photos from a higher angle.

I'd say considering the people authorizing and doing this recount the outcome was predestined from the get go and yes for the majority of Americas I think this will look like a desperately sad bad joke. 

Unfortunately, those who want to find irregularities when they emerge will be thrilled and I have little doubt there will be doubtful irregularities. Its almost a given considering that's exactly what the republican "searchers" want.
