The Arizona Senate has said it will hold off on a controversial plan to knock on voters doors as part of a Republican-commissioned election recount that raised concerns about voter intimidation.
State Senate President Karen Fann (R) said in a letter to the Department of Justice Friday that the door-to-door effort to interview voters as part of an audit of Maricopa Countys 2020 election results would not go forward after federal officials raised concerns that the canvassing could violate civil rights laws protecting against voter intimidation.
The audit has persisted amid former President Donald Trumps ongoing promotion of the lie of a stolen election, even as county officials say the 2020 election results which favored President Joe Biden have been validated repeatedly.
The head of the departments civil rights division, Pamela Karlan, had written to Fann on Wednesday suggesting that the recount by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm contracted bu the state Senate to conduct the recount may not comply with federal law.

It's the only way they can be sure the election was legitimate.

in the narthex of the church/temple, the sponsors are gathered with family and attendees.A one point in the christening prayers, the priest asks the sponsor (if Chrismating a baby), "Do you renounce satan?" The sponsor then affirms, "Yes!" Then he/she 'spits' to the West. (No saliva involved though!) 😁
Graphically, it drives the 'vow' home to all who witness the Mystery (rite) of Chrismation.
We all should spit in the devil's direction frequently.

(90 posts)If our vote is private, how can the RWNJ's plan be legal? I would be so angry if they came to my door (not in AZ, though). I would not be polite or nice in even the slightest way. I always believed that we were guaranteed the right to vote and the right to privacy. That's true isn't it?

(21,934 posts)Pretty good idea, but I think there might be an easier way to determine the will of the people by asking them all who they would like to vote for.
Check this out: we set aside one whole day, let's say, I dunno, in November, where people can go to a local public facility -- we'll call it a "polling place" -- and cast a "ballot" indicating which politician they prefer. At the end we can add up all the ballots and see who won!
It just seems like it might be easier to do something like that than send people out to door to door.

(26,046 posts)while we were playing golf, and, to quote him, "I never would have thought such stupid shit would be happening here and being taken seriously by some people who know better." Then later, while he was looking for a ball, he called me over and said he found fake ballots, and pointed to a small stand of bamboo. I said, "Okay, Boomer!"
hahahhaha he is a riot.
