Update to MAGA/QAnon Republicans Want To Ruin Your Thanksgiving Weekend.

These MAGA/QAnon election deniers obviously failed Civics in school. Even a 3rd Grader knows that there are no do-over elections. And yet, that is what these sore loser yahoos are demanding.

The Arizona Republic reports, Calls for a redo election heard at Arizona Capitol (excerpt):

By Monday, Arizona counties are required by law to certify the results of the election, but protesters Friday morning demanded a halt of the certification process and rallied for a revote to occur in December.

Note: Elections cost millions of dollars. Are these MAGA/QAnon election deniers willing to pay for it out of their own pockets? If not, STFU!

Gathered across the street from the state Capitol, a peaceful group of around 200 [Yahoos] waved American flags and held signs regarding claims of a stolen election that disenfranchised voters.

“Where is our recourse with the Legislature?” outgoing Mesa Republican [lame-duck] state Sen. Kelly Townsend [aka the QAnon Queen] asked a growing audience Friday morning. “We’re talking about serious voter suppression.”

Says the sponsor of numerous voter suppression bills over the years. Chutzpah!

On Wednesday, Townsend issued a subpoena to Maricopa County demanding information and answers about Election Day problems which she claims left voters disenfranchised.

[T]ownsend was not alone in her demands this week as Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh who lost the races for governor and attorney general, respectively, filed lawsuits challenging the election results.

These officials believe Republicans voters were disenfranchised by these printer issues as Republicans are most likely to vote in person on Election Day and these machine errors occurred “in primarily Republican areas of town,” Lake said on Election Day.

However, a Republic analysis found the problems were roughly evenly split between precincts going for Lake and those going for Hobbs with a slightly higher percentage in Lake’s precincts.

On Friday morning, protesters overwhelmingly agreed with the sentiment that voters were disenfranchised, and many took the stage to share their own accounts of Election Day problems. Organizers asked attendees to fill out affidavits that can be used in court to support their cause.

Affidavits which would collapse under the weight of cross-examination by any competent attorney. Did I mention that these people are QAnon cultists? They believe in utter nonsense. They are detached from reality. Just how ridiculous are they? This much –

The affidavits filled out at the event were being notarized and will be sent to Attorney General Mark Brnovich and far-right radio show host Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, who Deborah Boehm, an organizer with Affidavit Mommas, said they expect will work to help their efforts.

That’s right, the grifter QAnon conspiracy theorist involved with the Arizona Senate’s sham “fraudit” of Maricopa County’s 2020 election. Jovan Pulitzer’s fraud claims are ‘utter rubbish,’ fellow ‘audit’ researcher told the Arizona Senate. And let’s not forget that On ’60 Minutes’ Brnovich called the election fraud claims ‘horseshit’.

A mix of beliefs about disenfranchisement were heard at the event.

Although this protest was focused on the 2022 election results, a fair number of attendees wore Trump merchandise and waved Trump flags, supporting long-standing election-denying beliefs from the 2020 election. This crowd continued with the sentiment that the 2022 election was rigged and incited fears that tabulation errors were purposeful.

[To] rectify any concerns about Election Day problems, protesters demanded a do-over election that would occur with only in-person voting on Dec. 6 that would overturn the results of the Nov. 8 election.

“We want another election with only paper ballots all in one day and counted that day,” Boehm said. “We don’t want any machines involved in it at all.”

This chick is nuts!

Some of their other demands were that a special master [Trump’s insane influence] would be assigned to oversee the new election, removing Katie Hobbs, Bill Gates, and Steven Richer from election oversight. Protesters wanted to halt certifications from the Nov. 8 election. All 15 counties are required to certify the canvass by the end of the day Monday. The statewide canvass is due on Dec. 5, requiring Gov. Doug Ducey, Brnovich and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs to sign off on the results.

With a plentitude of speakers, including Colorado right-wing podcaster Joe Oltmann and supporters from other states such as California and Wisconsin, the protest was a peaceful and nonviolent demonstration with no law enforcement present.
