After months of toiling away in secret, (click here) Arizona's election audit has come to a close. Cyber Ninjas, the group leading the audit, is set to announce its findings on Friday and Insider obtained a draft copy of the audit results. They show no significant discrepancies between the official Maricopa County tally and Cyber Ninjas' recount....
Below is rather intensely clarifying journalism by Chris Hayes. It strikes at the heart of many of the confusingly dangerous agendas of the right-wing. All Republicans that cooperate with Trump and carry his agenda are equally as guilty of having designs to end the USA democracy and quite possibly democracy in any country.
When states are demanded to recount they need to fight back and sue the very entity that requested it for attempting to defraud the election process with false claims to an audit. I might also state while demanding these audits entities like Cyber Ninja are making money. This is their sick and demented way of making a living, by attacking democracy.
Besides the Secretaries of State fighting back against the FRAUD of organizations such as Cyber Ninjas, there is the issue of defamation of character of political figures such as President Biden. For as long as I can remember political assaults on a candidate's character such as a ballooning head of Speaker Pelosi that demonizes her and assaults her character when she is recognized as a highly respected Catholic as well as a political leader was viewed as "All in the name of politics." That is an interesting way of coping with defamation of character far beyond what is ethically acceptable. It needs to stop and unfortunately, elected officials need to have their own attorney on retainer to be able to refer such issues appropriately. It would be a campaign expense assigned to campaign funds.
The defamation of character that Sky News pulled off in manipulating the news reporting of the Boris-Joe meeting in the Oval Office is NOT "All in the name of politics." It was well-thought-out defamation of character for the purpose of not only unseating a duly elected president but, also bringing to question the idea that democracy itself is toxic to the people. If a freely elected President is incompetent and there is no sincere method of removing him, then democracy has failed the people.
While this all seems laughable to the people involved and they get on with their day, it is highly toxic to the ELECTION PROCESS and to democracy itself. Political leaders and freely elected officials need to fight back and demand the courts' rule in favor of such defamation and bring an end to this hideous allowance in our political environment.
Speaker Pelosi can speak to the incredible expense that goes along with these free for all defamation of character issues. Her campaign budget ballooned along with the opponent's cartoonish defamation of character ads. This level of HATE cannot and should not be tolerated. These highly defaming issues STICK to cause problems later on as in an insurrection whereby Speaker Pelosi was a target of the hate carried that day.
The USA democracy is precious to many citizens and needs to be treated as such.
