Come the “F” on. How many times do we need to show a Conservative attempting voter fraud before Conservatives realize they’re the problem?The Republican elections board commissioner in upstate Rensselaer County was arrested Tuesday on charges of carrying out a brazen ballot scheme that allowed him to cast votes in voters’ names.
Jason Schofield applied for absentee ballots for voters who did not want to vote, and, in some instances, personally pushed voters to sign absentee ballot envelopes, positioning himself or his associates to commit voter fraud in primary and general elections in 2021, according to court papers.

When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig’d to call for the help of the Civil Power, ’tis a Sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.

Re: Why the GOP embraces conspiracy theories and denialism
My impression from talking with Facebook folks who believe in the Big Lie (at least a little) is they see it as rebalancing the field. They are certain Democrats are cheating, why else would they be winning elections given how evil they are? So if a Republican does something that is cheating in their minds it is really just playing the same game as it is being called. And if only Republican cheaters are being caught or punished? That just shows how badly the game is being rigged.

Re: Why the GOP embraces conspiracy theories and denialism
That’s the hallmark of a “conspiracy theory”. No facts can ever contradict the theory because all facts are interpreted to support the existence of the conspiracy. If Trump were to testify under oath that he knows he lost the election and that there was no evidence of voter fraud that would have changed the result, his statements would be interpreted as either (1) someone from the deep state got to him or (2) he’s playing a complex game of eleventy boo dimension chess that will end with all the demonrats in jail and Trump restored to his rightful place as King President.honorentheos wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 6:23 pmMy impression from talking with Facebook folks who believe in the Big Lie (at least a little) is they see it as rebalancing the field.

Re: Why the GOP embraces conspiracy theories and denialism
Not sure about the Republican claim that democracy is just a short-term craze that has run its course, I would like at least ten more years before they end it. Couldn't they put Trump on ice until that time?

To be fair, the vaccine nanochip - with its enhanced retina-hacking function and sub-neural visual data transmitter - does make it easier to record Republicans committing voter fraud in real time. Thank goodness that enough of them agreed to get their COVID shot.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 6:32 pmThat’s the hallmark of a “conspiracy theory”.honorentheos wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 6:23 pmMy impression from talking with Facebook folks who believe in the Big Lie (at least a little) is they see it as rebalancing the field.
