Voter fraud, brought to you by the Republican Party.
They would literally rather go to jail than allow fair elections.
“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”
I hate how often this quote is relevant lately.
Nah, this is election fraud. Voter fraud is something slightly different.
God I wonder what party they are. Gosh such a mystery. Suppose we'll just have to assume it was both sides. Cant afford to be specific in the title.

Well, as long as people refuse to read the article (first two words of the article, by the way) I guess we'll just have to deal with titles.
Hard to do with a paywall. Guess I'll never know...
I can't quite make it out, maybe y'all can help: "PHOENIX — Two Republicans who lead a rural county in southern Arizona were indicted by a state grand jury this week for allegedly flouting last year’s deadline to formally accept the results of the 2022 midterm election."
Holy shit! Those words under the title actually do something??? I just though it was a weird sentence with funny futuristic punctuation. Anyway, now that I see that those"linked" words ^TM actually go somewhere, time to go back to inferring meaning from just the post title. Did y'all ever find out which party did it?
So I clicked and it looks like some jerk called 'Sign in' did it. Mystery solved.
I hate Sign In! That jerk keeps trying to get my passwords!
If you're still with Republicans through all this, you're either in the bottom 5th percentile in awareness, or you know Republicans are crooks and don't care.
I also think some people are really good at refusing to see connections. Just a few bad apples, they'll think.
Or that the charges were not legit... Remember "process crimes!"
Or that they were doing what was morally right so it doesn't matter if it's illegal.
And so on...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) on Wednesday announced the felony indictments of Cochise County supervisors Peggy Judd and Terry Thomas “Tom” Crosby.
The three-member Cochise County board eventually did vote to certify the results of the election, but only after a judge ordered they do so.
“You will meet today,” Superior Court Judge Casey F. McGinley told the three members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors last year.
When the board convened at 3:30 p.m., with Crosby absent, Judd and the remaining supervisor, Ann English, a Democrat, voted to certify the results.
The surrender, under court order, ended a standoff in Cochise County that threatened to upend the state’s process for affirming the will of more than 2.5 million Arizona voters.
The ensuing chaos could have undermined the projected victories of Republicans in a U.S. House seat and the statewide race for schools superintendent.
The original article contains 407 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The two Cochise County Supervisors charged should hire Kenneth Chesebro as their attorney so us proles can have some levity making cheese puns.
These reports seem more frequent all of a sudden. We just had one 3 days ago. Republicans have been spending all their time chasing dead ends and others have been zeroing in on GOP fuckery.
