9. Here's the bottom line: nobody has come up with a convincing explanation for how this authoritarian trend reverses itself. That's why, as someone who studies these dynamics for a living, I'm worried that the GOP is becoming irreversibly authoritarian. (Sorry to be depressing)— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) September 21, 2021 Pretty depressing. And I agree…this is going to just keep getting worse
Hey, Klaas, if you’re so damn smart, why don’t you write a book about it? Oh. Coming out November 9 you say? OK.
Prepare for the crazy! Cyber Ninja is releasing the results of their sham audit tomorrow: https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/f...election-review-to-be-released-on-sept-24.amp While the entire AZ Senate is invited to arrive, the Republican Senate leader and the Republican head of the committee that requested the audit will be the only ones allowed to ask questions. Maricopa County’s election commission will not be provided a copy of the audit before the results are released so that they can prepare a response..
Damn it… An early draft of the shamdit has been released to the press and it confirmed Maricopa County’s results… not only that, it found an additional 99 votes for Biden and subtracted 261 votes for Trump. https://kjzz.org/content/1719314/ar...-bidens-win-maricopa-county-also-casts-doubts It also claims to have found major issues with Maricopa County’s processes that, even though the hand count was similar to their final vote tally, casts “serious doubts” on the votes themselves.
I can’t wait for the donors to sue Cyber Ninjas Sir….if I understand your complaint correctly….you are claiming that you are the victim of fraud because you were lead to believe that your donation was going to fund a massive fraud effort that ended up not being able to accomplish said fraud.
What a relief.....Joe Biden finally won Arizona (for the 10th time)!! He even increased his margin. Today is the day Biden is finally President. “A Republican-commissioned review of nearly 2.1 million ballots cast last year in Arizona confirmed the accuracy of the official results and President Biden’s win in Maricopa County,” the Washington Post reports. “After nearly six months and almost $6 million — most of it given by groups that cast doubt on the election results — the draft report shows that the review concluded that 45,469 more ballots were cast for Biden in Maricopa County than for Trump, widening Biden’s margin by 360 more votes than certified results.” Arizona Republic: “The draft reports reviewed by The Republic minimize the ballot counts and election results and instead focus on issues that raise questions about the election process and voter integrity.”

If only there was something Senate Democrats could do to stop GOP efforts to make it harder to vote https://t.co/aVzBJQuigq— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) September 24, 2021
The bestest audit: CLAIM: 23,344 mail-in ballots voted from a prior address. BOTTOM LINE: Cyber Ninjas still don’t understand this is legal under federal election law. To label it a “critical” concern is either intentionally misleading or staggeringly ignorant. AZ senators should know this too.— Maricopa County (@maricopacounty) September 24, 2021

Only our goals will count: First, Republicans believe “Stop the Steal” propositions to varying degrees. Not a single garners majority support among all respondents. Most worryingly, almost half of Republicans surveyed (46%) thought Republican state legislatures should override their state's popular vote. pic.twitter.com/cxQWOq8Prm— Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛 (@leedrutman) June 24, 2021
The Republican Party is driving chaos at the same time they are selling order. All right-wing authoritarian movements do this. They drive chaos & then promise to restore order with easy scape goats. It’s hard to overstate the magnitude of this crisis. @SteveSchmidtSES @maddow pic.twitter.com/vWbWrtdpbB— Tim Hooks (@LincolnWatchman) September 25, 2021
Jesus. I hope the Democrats will react to this threat. Starting now on that freezing filibuster. They the Dems are scaring me.
The threat to democracy ends when independent voters say, "Hey, whatever I think of Democrat or Republican policies, what matters most of all is having a country that is governed by laws and processes, rather than the desires of the ruling party." We know that Republicans don't believe that, becuase the ones who make that argument have been drummed out of the party. And the Democrats alone are not enough to prevent the GOP from taking control. It will take the independents. Fingers crossed.
Agreed. The problem is with those independents that feel like their precious votes have not been earned, and proceed to simply skip voting altogether.
