  1. No shit. They’re doing it now too. Are we going to take action beforehand this time or just scold him after he’s allowed to be reinstalled in the Presidency?

  2. It was always ludicrous that the Maga people believed that the party out of power was the one ‘rigging’ the election

    Ultimately, A grade projection.

  3. Why is it that every time there’s some kind of “irregularity” with voting or voting machines it’s a republican behind it? Aren’t they the ones who bitch moan and complain about election integrity?

    Republicans know in their hearts they can’t win with Donald Trump, creating this need to cheat and commit crimes. They know Trump is a loser.

  5. ***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***

    Election conspiracy theorist Tina Peters has been convicted of tampering with voting machines in Mesa County, Colorado, in the aftermath of the 2020 election. On Monday, Peters was found guilty of seven charges related to her efforts to grant unauthorized individuals access to country voting machines in order to prove false claims that the election had been fraudulently stolen from Donald Trump.

    In March, Peters pleaded not guilty to 10 criminal charges, including seven felonies, in connection to a scheme to use her position as Mesa County clerk to transfer voting data from the machines to allies of former President Trump. She resigned from her role as Mesa County clerk in 2023.

    Peters’ sentencing is scheduled to take place on October 3.

    “This community has suffered greatly from the dishonesty, lack of transparency and refusal of Ms. Peters to take accountability,” Mesa County District Attorney Daniel P. Rubinstein said in response to the verdict. “No single elected official, or even branch of government, is above the law or should be allowed to act without those checks and balances.”

  6. Should be tried for treason. Anyone actually tampering with an election is high treason to me.

    So when republicans claim that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election, if you look close the vast majority if not all of them, were done by republicans themselves.

    Not American. Can someone explain how the fuck Republicans are legally allowed to purge people out of the system in relation to voting? Genuinely bewildered.

  9. She was posting on Twitter last night blaming Dominion for her guilty verdict and doubling down on election interference. I hope the judge throws the book at her for her sentencing.

    as I have mentioned in previous posts on this topic, If you haven’t watched it already, I highly recommend you all watch the bodycam footage of her being arrested in public while she’s out having lunch. She’s resisting arrest and going full Karen while the restaurant speakers are playing “Let it Be”. It’s pure schadenfreude

    As former competitive surfer (old and fat now) seeing former ranked pro surfer out of Hawaii Conan Hayes wrapped up in this is surreal. Surreal is probably an overused term these days as surreal seems to be a daily reality.

    She looks like one of the ladies I see on YouTube fighting the police for trying to keep her drunk ass off the highway. The one screaming at the top of her lungs “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???? DO YOU? I KNOW THE MAYOR!!”

    I’m still absolutely convinced they (maga) tampered with the 2016 election.  I think the government knows but won’t admit it because it would cast doubt on the fairness of future elections so they just accepted it.  

  14. Four years to bring these people to justice. That’s four years that Trump can pardon them if they help him win.

  15. “I promise you there was fraud with the election. I know because I screwed with the machines myself.”

  16. Reminder: the only attempts to steal the election that are corroborated with evidence are by Republicans.

    Feckless cowards like her are how democracies fail in real life. Just idiotic fascist sympathizers who are willing to throw out real votes because they believe in some foolish narrative.

  18. PitchforksEnthusiast on

    The party of “they stole the election” sure do like being the only ones trying to steal the election

    Any word from r/conservative ?
    They were pretty high on that interview last night, which nearly everyone right and left said was a shit show. (It was)

    Americans should have some kind of plan in mind for what happens in November. A sizable portion of these cultists won’t accept a Harris/Walz win.

  21. And these fucking assholes are the ones screaming voter fraud every single day, dickheads the lot of them.

  22. I hope they all get some time in the clink. Their desire to mettle with an election is a danger to us all. They deserve the consequences they have earned

  23. Oh my god the fraud was coming from inside the house

    Who could have seen this coming? A guy with a telescope? A hawk with radar?

    Oh or maybe just regular people who understand that it’s always projection with these asswipes.

  24. This should be a cautionary tale for those who plan to do something similar this November: Se got caught, she got processed and convicted, she got no help from Trump or the GOP. She’s going down, alone.

    That should be more than enough to defer reasonable people, but we crossed that bridge long ago.

    They’ll say they’re just doing what they have to do because “the other side” is doing it too. So then you ask why it’s never democratic officials getting caught and they’ll point to the current president and say it’s all a government conspiracy by Biden. So then you ask why they didn’t uncover droves of democratic falsifications when Trump was president and, by that point, if you’ve gotten that far into a conversation with a Trumpkin and they *havent* devolved into screaming obscenities and random scenil gibberish about the constitution, then they’ll probably send you some mocked up images from 4chan that uses image and footage from when their own officials were caught but the green text simply changes the narrative to one they can cope with.

    Super weird behavior.
