Tina Peters (photo, left), the freak the stupid voters of Mesa County, Colorado, elected as their county clerk responsible for locally overseeing their elections, but who decisively lost the Republican statewide primary for secretary of state (details here), isn’t only a conspiracy nut and ele[...]

Should lack of education excuse civic ignorance?
Tim Ramthun (photo, left; bio here), 65, of Hartford, Wisconsin, probably doesn’t know better. He’s only a high school graduate who went to vocational school, so he doesn’t have the understanding of government that, for example, a political science major with a graduate school educ[...]

Why do Republicans lie so much?
Four Republicans are running for Arizona governor, and three of them claimed the 2020 election was stolen in a debate on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 (read story here). The other refused to say whether she would’ve certified the election if she were governor. In Arizona, the ballots were officiall[...]
The Trump plot in a nutshell
An article in Salon (here) sums up what we’ve learned from the Jan. 6 hearings: “In the public hearings so far, the House Select Committee on January 6 has marshaled facts in fastidious detail showing that former President Trump’s attempted coup was plotted and organized by the pre[...]

You don’t have to like it, just shut up and eat it
American politics is a diner, not a white-tablecloth restaurant. The food can be hard to swallow. New Mexico held a routine primary this month. And, as MSNBC reported, “the process was largely unremarkable. Candidates ran, voters participated, ballots were counted, and election results were an[...]

John F. Kennedy Jr. reappears!
I’m not making this up; QAnon freaks are. He uses the handle “Juan O. Savin” now, but his birth name is Wayne Willott. Willott aka Savin is camera-shy (for obvious reasons), but I dug up this photo; judge for yourself if there’s a family resemblance to the Kennedys. But IR[...]

Say no to “vote integrity” doorbellers
They’ve come to Washington. Volunteer canvassers want to know if you or someone in your household shouldn’t be registered to vote. That’s between you and election officials, and none of their business. If they come to your home, there’s no point in being rude, but you should [...]

Indicting Trump for election fraud looking more likely
The best thing that could happen for American democracy is a convicting Trump of a felony to disqualify him from running again. Second best is disbarments and prison time for those who aided and abetted his efforts to steal the 2020 election to deter similar conduct in the future. That includes the [...]
Will Trump’s postmaster go?
Trump lackey Louis DeJoy (photo, left) is notorious for slowing mail service. But I’ll always remember him as the guy who made mailboxes disappear before the 2020 election. (They magically reappeared after the election; see my posting here.) You want an election conspiracy? Well, there it is. [...]

GOP county chair tried to get access to voting machines
A North Carolina GOP county chair pursuing a false election conspiracy theory “threatened to get a county elections director fired or have her pay cut unless she helped him gain illegal access to voting equipment,” Reuters reported (see story here). William Keith Senter was “aggressive[...]
