Ballot stuffing mars Salt Lake County's GOP nominating convention

For Salt Lake County Republicans, warnings of voter fraud came from inside the party on Saturday. The vote to nominate a GOP candidate for Salt Lake County Clerk was marred when a pair of delegates were caught attempting to vote more than once, with one extra vote making it into a ballot box at Saturday’s county nominating convention.

The extra vote did not impact the outcome, as Goud Maragani easily won the nod from delegates over Nancy Lord. After the two cheaters were caught, the remaining delegates voted to expel them from their positions within the party. Republican officials said they planned to press charges, but it’s unclear what laws may have been broken since Saturday’s vote was conducted as part of a private organization and not a governmental entity.

Saturday’s attempted ballot box stuffing at the Republican convention was more election fraud than has been proven in Utah’s entire 2020 election.

The irony of the situation was undeniable, given how tightly the Salt Lake County GOP has embraced former President Donald Trump’s false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election. It was at the center of Maragani’s successful pitch to delegates and other candidates spoke on the issue when it was their turn to address the convention. Party chair Chris Null broached the topic, teasing a forthcoming report from the party.

1. Every accusation is a confession ...

5. Yes, that has been consistently true

with republicans it seems. Maybe they should be more careful when accusing Democrats of wrong-doing. On the upside, all their accusations and excessive election scrutiny have given us much safer and more reliable elections. They've actually made it harder to cheat, especially for themselves. Oops!

12. As well as an instruction

At least when it comes to voting, fraud, and mayhem. What we accuse the left of we want the right to do--and the way we say they are doing it.

2. Why they behaved like a pack of Republicans

You know, the usual: lying, cheating, grifting, intentionally messing up elections.

Sad.

3. A fox smells his own hole first

While Democrats are Progressive, Republicans are Projective

[PatSeg]

6. A common mistake

among the integrity deficient - they assume everyone else is guilty of the same misdeeds and dishonesty as they are. In my experience, a liar and cheat almost always thinks everyone else lies and cheats.

4. LOL they even cheat among themselves.

7. I think GOPers have proved beyond a doubt

That there is NO honor among thieves.

8. Who loves cheating the vote? GOP loves cheating the vote!

[Novara]

9. Duh. Voter fraud by and large is committed by republicans

Sure, there have been some Democrats who cheat, but the majority of cases in the news have been committed by republicans.

I wonder if anyone has any recent statistics. It'd be a handy thing to cite when they scream VOTER FRAUD.

10. Warnings of voter fraud almost always comes from inside the GQP house.

It ain't just Salt Lake City.

13. Gotta love it when they even cheat each other.

There are no morals or ethics they will not ignore.

14. More shocking is these jaded corruption days: Republicans finding civility, integrity, and honor?

Fools News is so obviously corrupt, I struggle to fathom that they still fool anyone above 90 in political/actual IQ?

17. Mormons no doubt

so lets add "allegedly" to cover what I would bet to be true... the insanity of them creating an argument about this being a nationwide issue when literally EVERY uncovering of voter fraud is done by a member of the GOP.

IS ANYBODY LISTENING?
WILL ANYBODY DO ANYTHING?

Or do they get to cheat and win - again?

I'm so weary to seeing this so clearly and also seeing nothing done to address it. IOKALAYAR, i guess?
