Mentions mail in and drop off ballots stating they were more than "calculated".

So yeah, he doesn't directly speak about the big lie, but he's more than happy to stoke those fires. The reality he can have his cake and eat it to because he isn't stupid enough to go all Kari Lake knowing full well there will be plenty of others doing it for him. He also probably sees the strategic blunder of taking that path will far outweigh the inevitable tactical defeat he'd suffer regardless.

It sure sounded like Master's "expectation" of the same day drop off votes that was supposed to go republican, but instead, they went democratic and Kelly got an immediate call right after.

I have already seen people claiming that letting the Republicans win the Governor race is just part of the fraud.

The idea is that by letting them have the Governor we can argue that there was no fraud while we steal the Senate.

adult it sounds! THIS is the kind of politics it would be nice to get back to overall (just sane, rational people that disagree).

That being said, I know NOTHING about this guy, but I just appreciate that he's not screeching, "FRAUD! FAKE NEWS", like some assholes we know.

Adding to others here in saying he seems like a fair enough fellow, while I certainly disagree with 99.44% of what he stands for I'll give him the respect due a worthy adversary.
