And the title truly says it all. The GOP has no interest in allowing people to vote.

1. Am I missing something?

If Mia Love is TRAILING her challenger, then why in the hell would she file suit to STOP the counting? Either my brain (or hers) must be mis-firing!

2. She is a GOP member of the House, and the incumbent.

So her tactics are in line with standard GOP behavior.

7. She is a GOP Congressperson.

And she does not want the Democratic votes to be counted.

4. She filed suit in the one county that her opponent is winning, not the entire district.

She only wants votes favorable to her to be counted.

5. She only sued 1 county her district covers 4

She wants the three red counties to continue and the 1 blue county to stop

10. She sued to stop vote counting ONLY in Salt Lake County, it favors McAdams.

She wants vote counting to continue in the other counties that favor her. Sounds republican to me.

6. And besides not allowing them to vote, they don't even want to count those votes rendered ...

either. Pathetic. I hope that they end up paying other folks for their time and efforts to deal w/ these idiotic and false motives.
