Instead of yelling at millions of voters who won't vote for someone that attacks their vulnerable minority, why not instead yell at the few dozen candidates who are doing the attacking? Seems much more efficient.

Sam Stone, chief of staff for Maricopa Recorder Justin Heap, is coordinating with disinfo group We the People AZ Alliance & contacted the FBI over election workers doing their job during election season. No wrongdoing was found but goes to show how election workers are still targeted by this crowd.
Sam Stone / SamThePol

1. Do I think anything nefarious was at play in this situation?

No

2. Did I recommend and contact the FBI and
MCAO immediately to pass what we had been given on?

Absolutely did. Would do it again. Every time. Because when questions about potentially fraudulent activity in an election come to light the proper reaction is not for the organization at hand to clear themselves, but to bring in an appropriate outside investigative agency to do it.

Gotta wonder how much time and resources has been spent responding to the lies of Kari Lake, Shelby Busch, and the damn Overstock guy just in Maricopa alone.
MARICOPA COUNTY ELECTIONS

Maricopa County is committed to transparent elections. You can view our tabulation center 24/7 365 days a year. These images of two employees working late in the tabulation center were recently
sent to the Elections Department by an individual(s) questioning the legitimacy of their presence.

As occurs in the weeks preceding an election, these employees were working on a legitimate election task, late into the night. These photos may be used on social media to imply wrongdoing. This is not the case. Know the facts, so you can vote confidently.

Oh, so these are just full-blown delusions brought on by the transient victory two years ago. If you've lost your mind to the point where you think that Black voters in Michigan are going to *vote for Mike Rogers*, you should quit your job as a pundit
Part of the challenge is no one knows what the midterm electorate will look like, making it hard to know if the polling is accurate. A White House official, who like others in this story was granted anonymity to speak candidly, said they didn’t think that Black voters would show up for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, but it’s unclear whether that means they vote for Republican Mike Rogers — or just stay home.

Fun fact, the SPD and KPD combined dwarfed the Nazi party by November 1932, with the NSDAP losing 2.5 million votes and 34 seats in a 4 month period. (there were two elections in 1932 alone.) But can you guess which party got invited into power and which one(s) didn't?

According to news reports, HSI seized Rep. Ilhan Omar's "passports", plural. Has anyone seen the judicial warrant? Did a judge authorize the seizure of Omar's official black diplomatic passport that members of Congress are entitled to and required to use for official government travel?

The NHS is already one of the biggest perpetrators of anti-trans violence in the UK. This new guidance, which refers to trans people using slurs, demands that we be segregated and abused. I’ve said it before: senior NHS managers must be sacked and punished for what they’ve done to us.

As much as one would like to imagine supporters of the AfD as passive victims longing for an alternative to neoliberalism, a left-wing alternative was available and was actively rejected. A near majority of voters chose a far-right party that plans to dismantle the welfare state, but also promises a national revival through mass deportations of the supposedly parasitic foreign masses that have been holding back the German people. The AfD made no secret of its aims and means, and for many this was the appeal. As historian Peter Fritzsche once wrote, “Germans became Nazis because they wanted to become Nazis and because the Nazis spoke so well to their interests and inclinations.”

An incredible episode early in Marco Rubio's career, that previewed exactly how he would come to operate in the following 24 years. Read our new profile: zeteo.com/p/secretary-...
From Zeteo's profile of Marco Rubio:
"One episode, in February 2002, exhibited patterns that would emerge in Rubio’s career. The select committee on security was debating a bill to require colleges to share visa information about foreign students with law enforcement. Rubio sought to water it down.

“Where I come from, there are large numbers of people who are refugees, asylees – people who’ve sought political asylum in this country, etc., who are here to better themselves,” Rubio said. “And certainly some of the great leaders of my community were people who entered this country many, many years ago as foreign students.”

Ultimately forced to withdraw his amendment, he panned the bill as “just a part of what appears to be a pattern of legislation after legislation that unfairly targets a group of people that quite, by vast and overwhelming majority, statistically speaking, is here to make their lives better and to contribute to the well-being of this country – not the other direction.”

Yet, when the committee voted on the legislation, Rubio voted yes. The bill ultimately failed anyways."
