In his weekend wrap-up, conservative Bulwark founder Charlie Sykes makes the case that there is more than enough proof that Donald Trump and his inner circle made a provable attempt to steal the 2020 presidential election through fraud.

Jumping right into it, Sykes pointed to a CNN report that stated, "...then-President Donald Trump's allies sent fake certificates to the National Archives declaring that Trump won seven states that he actually lost," which have also been labeled forgeries.
According to the political analyst, "In other words, what we have here is attempted election fraud on a massive scale," adding, "Some perspective: If an average voter lied on their registration forms or forged an absentee ballot, they would face criminal charges and a world of legal hurt. But this case is far worse because the forged electoral certificates were coordinated, and part of a larger conspiracy to overturn the presidential election."
Writing, "...the smoking guns are littered all around us," Sykes turned to Bulwark colleague Bill Kristol who tweeted on Saturday, "The forged electoral certificates show coordination across seven states. Those fake certificates were key to the plan of the Eastman memo and to the Jeffrey Clark DOJ draft letter to Georgia. The conspiracy involved fraud and force. At the head of the conspiracy: Donald Trump."

The lack of concern and coverage by the National press reveals their corrupt nature.

(12,152 posts)the case has got to be absolutely unassailable, with irrefutable admissible evidence (not hearsay testimony) including upon appeal, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to get a conviction.
On the plus side, she said, in all her years of working as a prosecutor, she never once had the luxury of a suspect admitting to a crime on tape as in DFPs infamous 11,780 votes call to Georgia officials.

I'd love to see him defeat the ass-kissers trying to put him out.

(12,152 posts)That doesnt keep you from switching your party affiliation back to D for the General, I hope. If I remember correctly there are some restrictions, but I havent looked into it.
Raffensperger would definitely be miles better than Hice.
And theres the added benefit that if Brad R. wins the Rethug primary, some of the QAnon types might boycott the GE, which could increase the odds for a Dem to become SoS.

(12,492 posts)And you're right, the Qidiots could very well stay home in the general. Thats how they lost the Senate; 100s of thousands of Nov voters didnt show up for the runoff. Remember, Perdue won in Nov. Just didnt hit 50%. And most of those no show voters were in the solid red areas of the state. Because Lin Wood, trump & a couple others told them "why bother? Its rigged"
idiots.
