Arizona has had more that its fair share of election denial lunacy, which should have ended for good with the much-ridiculed Cyber Ninjas “audit” of ballots from the 2020 presidential election.
The problem with this county, is, it must be handled as a legitimate thing, so it can go through the courts and hopefully, get shot down. If we treat it as a joke and don't take it seriously, this will be how they overturn elections everywhere. I'm sick to death of these people. This willful ignorance is getting really old.
They are being fed lies daily and hourly by Faux Noise. 99% of their neighbors are being fed the same lies by the same network. I believe this is the source of the problem at least as much as and probably much more than stupidity.
Faux is feeding them the diet they crave. A lot of these people were this, all along. trump just gave them permission to come out of the shadows. I don't think it's stupidity. I call it willful ignorance, the desire to remain uninformed and a belief system that you can't bear to have challenged, in any way, shape or form.
Exactly. They COULD be educated, in a language and method that they will understand. But they'd rather ignore it, because pesky facts get in the way of maintaining their comfortable narrative.
Unbelievable these people who sit and refuse to certify a valid count should be removed from their positions this has gotten so far out of hand it’s beyond ridiculous
The problem, and the threat, is that the more the fascist minority of idiots loses, the more they will commit to their denial, the angrier they will become, and the greater the likelihood that some of them will go over the edge into further illegal acts and violence. And as a cult, where one goes, they all go (to paraphrase a Q-Anon slogan)--or at least many of them. Most people in the United States live in a bubble of extraordinary wealth and privilege. They have no comprehension of how quickly our extremely complicated society could go wholly off the rails, or of the hardship associated with real insurrectionist violence and disruption of the basic functions of society. And unfortunately, we have ceded the control of the House and the Supreme Court to nutcases who want to dismantle the nation. I am afraid it is going to be a very fraught two years, and I personally am enormously fatigued and depressed because of the past six years. I had a brief period of hope when Biden was elected that sanity would begin to prevail, but that hope has dwindled to resignation.
If you're an aging gamer, I'm an aging caregiver, and I refuse to let the bast.rds get me down. We just came thru another remarkable, mostly positive voting episode. Better minds than mine will be working on dealing with this pile of turds in AZ and also to 2024 strategy.
We must stay hopeful, positive, and help where and when we can. This is our democracy, we are the sane ones. And while we're in the gift-giving season, we should remember what we're [gifting] giving the next generation; democracy fighting against the evil of a minority who want an all-white, all-Christian [by their standards] America.
I think denying an election where your party had some winners…shows a lack of common sense and intelligence. Not certifying an election my constitute election fraud itself.

Me too. Being stupid is not an inalienable right.

I hate that I share the same first name as that pathetic political wannabe :(
Try being a woman named Karen. Lol
Let’s call them “election liars.” Just one person’s thought.

Let's not give it to them.
They will continue to do this denying as long as there is no accountability and consequences. Any 13 year old kid knows this.
They deny and we have to put in the time energy and money to prove that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
Not only bad losers , but bad candidates caused the Republicans to lose , it's their own fault
So sad that these fanatics continue to push their unfounded B.S. Thank you for the concise rundown of the issues.
Is Arizona the new “Florida Man”?
Some have called the state, “The Florida of the West.” But this election, they proved them wrong in the larger sense!
As someone who lives in Floriduh, I sure hope so!!

Keep at em -
Let me be vindictive enough to imagine those republican seats being overturned by their own ignorance.
