Something is going on in Arizona...

Differing posts at Media Matters are referring to the "Cyber Ninjas" claiming to having 70,000+ votes that were supposedly not counted.

This story is being talked up majorly at Gateway Pundit, and by Wendy Rogers.

But nowhere else, not at any major news agency, even Fox News is ignoring it.

There is evidence supposedly, that the "found ballots," are fake.

On edit: Oops, Wendy Rogers, not Davis.

I don't trust Gateway Pundit any further than I can throw them.

My biggest concern is that if "Cyber Ninjas" did fake a bunch of ballots, will they be prosecuted?

Fri Jul 16, 2021, 01:15 AM

... is turning into a disaster for the 45ers. No other city or county wants anything happening like cyber ninja-ing in their backyard.

And Rachel reported that they're asking for three more months.

If the GOP were serious about recounting, they'd have hired a certified firm specializing in recounts. The leaders got their bluff called and they hired Ninja's, the count would be so compromised that a further legitimate count would be impossible.

But this Maricopa County recount is not helping 45, and that's nice, too!

Can you believe how long ago they said they'd have it wrapped up in three months? And now they want three more months!

They didn't find 70,000 votes, they are saying that 70,000 votes that were counted shouldn't have been, based on sharpies bleeding through, typing alignment, other nonsensical things.

the super racist right-winger, Cassandra Fairbanks. And previous to working for Gateway, she worked for Sputnik, which is a propaganda arm for Putin.

It doesn’t matter to me what you read, but using Gateway as a source for your post on DU is probably a violation of DU’s TOS

IT IS NOT AGAINST TOS TO DISCUSS WHAT THE RWNJ'S ARE DOING AND SAYING.
IT IS AGAINST TOS TO ADVOCATE IN FAVOR OF WHAT THE RWNJ'S ARE DOING AND SAYING.

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. THIS IS NOT CHEERLEADING SCHOOL. THIS IS A DISCUSSION BOARD.

Sorry about the shouting Archae, but it gets annoying seeing people mistake the two, particularly when it's to a member like you, who's been here since 2001.

He's saying this is what Gateway Pundit is saying, where is it coming from and heads up people. Very different than using GP as a source for a legitmate news story that we are expected to believe.

I saw the commentary at Media Matters, and THEY mentioned seeing it there.

I refuse to have anything to do with Jim Hoft and his nutcase site, except to slam them when I can, and they do get slammed.
Very often.

I'd suggest re-reading my OP, and see what I mean.

A discredited "source," and a grandstanding liar of a state senator making shit up.

Thanks for the link.
