“We don’t know the motive,” she said.
Really? You don’t know the motive? I’d give anyone on the internet three guesses, and the first two don’t count.
They go out of their way in the article to not cast any partisan aspirations on the scheme. But it is the same county where Tina Peters used to be the county clerk, and is now in jail after being convicted of election shenanigans for Trump. And it looks like it had the complicity of at least one judge.
Watch this one, folks. The details sadly won’t come out until after the election, but when they do I think we will find that Republican talk about election fraud is also projection, like all their other complaints.
You’re probably right but I don’t really get it. Mesa County is so red that Trump won by 28 points in 2020. What was this person trying to achieve? For that matter, what was Tina Peters was trying to achieve? I just don’t understand how either of them could have made a difference when, in 2020, Trump won by over 25K votes out of a total of 91K votes cast and 107K registered voters.
Perhaps they wanted it to be caught, where it wouldn’t make a difference if it wasn’t, in order to shore up their future claims that more of the same occurred in more competitive districts. As well as undermining faith in the election as a whole.
That’s actually a very insightful theory.
But if I had to bet on it, I’d still put my money on outright stupidity.
the county totals don’t matter for president, it is counted statewide.
And the statewide margin was still a 14 point margin. Too much to overcome with 12 stolen ballots.
testing the waters. probably would have kept doing it if they weren’t caught, or tried on a larger scale in future elections.
republicans would NEVER
It’s so fucking disgusting. The Republicans have 252527171 ways to try to win this, and we have 1.
Kamala needs to be perfect and Trump could walk on stage with nothing but a shit filled diaper, do the Hitler salute and somehow gain in the poles… It’s infuriating.
Harris and Trump have very different bases.
If Trump went to New York and shot a black person, his base wouldn’t care whereas if Harris did, the Democrats would be in an uproar.
However, if Trump went to New York and gave people COVID shots, now his base would be fucking furious.
Both candidates are appealing to their base. It’s just the Democratic base is a bunch of sane and rational people.
I understand the bases. I don’t understand all the people who won’t vote at all.

I call bullshit on Trump’s base not caring if he just openly shot a black person. They wouldn’t ignore that, they’d love it.
It was an IMMIGRANT ( i.e. former slave descendant )
IDK about projection, but if you convince people that a system is corrupt, they’re much more likely to cheat.
A little of column A; a little of column B.
Those three ballots represent 0.003% of the total ballots cast in the county in the last presidential election year.
Or put another way: 25% of the known fraudulent ballots got through.
I hope they catch the perpetrator(s) and inflict maximum justice.
0% would have gotten through if the judge had done their job.
