The man who spoke truth to Donald Trump (opinion)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-man-who-spoke-truth-to-donald-trump-opinion/ar-AAKii2T?li=BB141NW3

"The truth is that there is no solid evidence of significant fraud in Maricopa County's November 3 election. There is no solid evidence that the election in Maricopa County was stolen from former President Trump. That is why all eight cases brought in Arizona state and federal courts alleging widespread fraud, inaccuracies, or irregularities lost spectacularly. And yes, I believe in the court system and the rule of law."



**********************************

Election officials (both Dem and GOP) have asserted that this was one of the smoothest elections ever--if not the smoothest. Considering it was held during a pandemic, these heroes should be applauded, not doubted.

And those that continue to spout The Big Lie should be ashamed of themselves to fueling an attack on the government, and on democracy itself.

I think they were blended into a breakfast smoothy and fed to the Cyber Ninjas.

2. Why did AZ state courts allow the "independent" audit of the votes of Maricopa County?

If evidence demonstrated that that Trump didn't have his votes "stolen", then why?

Why would a judge give a private entity access to ballots and voter information from an election that has already been duly certified?

When is the DOJ going to intervene? The Arizona SOS has indicated there are federal election law violations.

If people lose faith in all claims of election tampering, the field is ripe for tampering with impunity. If Republicans in charge of running an election could tamper with the results in their counties, they could take power for years to come. When the Democrats demanded recounts, they could be dismissed by reference to the current bogus recounts.

6. I am so sick of all the crap from republicans, how they continue with this farce...

Something needs to be done about it. I cannot understand why the courts have not placed the many republican lawyers who brought these frivolous lawsuits regarding the election to the courts and the fact that they have not been punished. My understanding is that a lawyer can loose his/her license for introducing frivolous lawsuits, so where is the punishment? Why are they allowed to roam free from their misdeeds, where is the accountability?

This needs to stop, and unless punished they will continue with this charade.

10. saying "there is no solid evidence" makes it seem as if there could be evidence but just not solid.

the fact is there is NO evidence at all, just rumors, conspiracy theories and bullshit cooked up by bad actors.
