I traditionally have a thread heading to the election, here we go.
Get out the popcorn for this one.
QuoteFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to formally announce next week he is running for president in 2024, NBC News reported Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
The governor's official entry into the Republican primary field will put him head-to-head with former President Donald Trump, the party's current frontrunner for the nomination. Trump has already spent months treating DeSantis as his primary campaign rival, thrashing him with torrents of criticism over his gubernatorial record, his political skills and his personality.
Oh yes, we should expect all kinds of stuff.

QuoteEarlier this month, committee Republicans hired former Trump campaign lawyer Joshua Findlay to serve as a consultant on election law matters through the end of this Congress, according to the consultant contract obtained by CNN. They previously hired Thomas Lane, another Trump official who served as a backup fake elector in Arizona in 2020, to lead their investigation into elections.
Over the last year, according to committee records, the House Administration elections subcommittee has met with groups like the Republican National Committee, now under the control of Trump and his campaign; the Conservative Partnership Institute, a group affiliated with Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows; and the Election Integrity Network, which is run by Cleta Mitchell, who was on the phone with Trump in January 2021 when Trump urged Georgia's secretary of state to "find" the votes he needed to win the 2020 presidential election.

There is zero evidence that this was politically motivated.
It's a "lets scramble and put out propaganda that is completely unrelated to politics, and suggest the crime was politically motived" . Most people won't read past the first paragraph". However will think it was politically motivated.
Propaganda works

The comments are getting more and more unhinged as the reality of another Trump presidency is setting in.

A Philly Republican election official called out Elon Musk for ballot-harvesting disinformation on X
"This is just one instance in a pattern of people trying to sow doubt and mistrust in our elections," said City Commissioner Seth Bluestein (R).
Why X is destined to become irrelevant when you can't trust the integrity of the posters. Musk is an agent of chaos and willing to yell fire in a crowd while he drops the flaming gasoline bomb on the floor.
Beerman said:Hmmm, how did the radicalized Trump devotees know whose ballots they were trying to destroy?
It's not the destruction of the actual ballots that's important to these people, it's the intent to destroy our faith in the democratic system. Is there anyone among a radicalized MAGA that would have the brains to even ask themselves who's ballot they were destroying. That isn't their point.

Delaware County Elections Director Jim Allen said "conspiracy fantasies" over the election are soaking up taxpayer money.
Bucks, Chester and Delaware counties have spent more than $2.6 million combined on outside attorneys since 2020, fending off a litany of election-related litigation. Delaware County alone has dished out $2.1 million.
"These lawsuits involve this crazy quilt of fever dreams,” Delaware County Director of Elections Jim Allen said. "They're not even conspiracies. They're not even built on anything real. If anything, they're conspiracy fantasies.”
With Election Day only two weeks away, another wave of litigation is flooding paperwork into suburban court offices.
Allen said none have resulted in an adverse decision to the county Board of Elections — but the price for a perfect record is steep.
"It just takes time to sign off on responses and get the lawyers to prepare all this stuff and then you run up legal bills,” he said. "It's a waste of the taxpayers' money.”
GOP congressional candidate Alfeia Goodwin, the latest petitioner to take Delaware County to court, doesn't see it that way. She said voters are being denied their constitutional rights and considered it a "shame" for the county to bring up legal fees.

It's not fiscally conservative to chase the fever dreams of a fascist liar.

We should expect all manners of desperation and ridiculousness from democrats.
Trying to apply meaning to a criminal that set a mailbox on fire. When he would have no idea if or how many ballots were in there. Oh and that they were democrat votes. LOL.
This is hilarious
