    3 states? no wonder they have a hard on for voter fraud.



    Mark Meadows was simultaneously registered to vote in three states
    By Glenn Kessler
    April 22, 2022 at 3:00 ET
    “I don’t want my vote or anyone else’s to be disenfranchised. … Do you realize how inaccurate the voter rolls are, with people just moving around? … Anytime you move, you’ll change your driver’s license, but you don’t call up and say, ‘Hey, by the way, I’m re-registering.’”
    — Mark Meadows, then White House chief of staff, in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Aug. 16, 2020
    After Donald Trump lost the presidential election, falsely claiming election fraud, Meadows became senior partner at the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), which promotes “election integrity” efforts. The organization’s “citizen’s guide” urges activists to determine that the registrations of their neighbors are legal by checking on “whether voters have moved, or if the registrations are PO Boxes, commercial addresses or vacant lots” and then “obtaining evidence: photos of commercial buildings? Vacant lots?” and “securing affidavits from current residents that a registered voter has moved.”
    Voter-list maintenance is one of the dividing lines in American politics. Republicans argue that if voter-registration records are not regularly purged and updated, election fraud can take place. Democrats push back that too many voter-list purges are conducted haphazardly, removing eligible voters who don’t learn they are no longer listed until they show up to vote.
    Now it turns out that until last week, Meadows was simultaneously registered to vote in three different states — North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina — according to state records obtained by The Fact Checker.
    The overlap lasted about three weeks, and it might have continued if revelations about Meadows’s voting record had not attracted scrutiny in North Carolina. Meadows is still registered in Virginia and South Carolina.
    This is the latest in a series of revelations about election-related behavior by Meadows that appear to contradict his and his party’s rhetoric on election integrity.
    Meadows, in fact, was the keynote speaker at a CPI Election Integrity Summit in Atlanta on Feb. 19. “What you’re doing is investing in the future of our country and making sure only legal votes count,” Meadows told attendees. He said he had just gotten off the phone with Trump, who he said had told him: “We cannot give up on election integrity.”
    About three weeks after that speech, the New Yorker reported that Meadows had registered to vote at a home where he did not reside. Meadows and his wife, Debra, had submitted voter registration forms that listed as their residential address a 14-by-62-foot mobile home in Macon County, N.C., with a rusted metal roof that sold for $105,000 in 2021, even though they did not actually own it or live there. He then voted in the 2020 election via absentee ballot.
    North Carolina officials announced last month that, as a result, Mark Meadows is under investigation for potential voter fraud. On April 11, his voter registration was removed by Macon County officials, the North Carolina State Board of Elections said last week.
    The state cited the fact that Meadows had voted in Virginia during the 2021 gubernatorial election that elected a Republican, Glenn Youngkin. Meadows and his wife had registered to vote in the state in September, his and her voter registration applications show, even though they were still registered in North Carolina.

    continues.....

    Only the best people folks, only the best. Maybe this was the fraud that Maggie Three Names testified to?

    Steven Hotze wasn’t there when a private investigator allegedly held an air-conditioning repairman at gunpoint shortly before the 2020 election in what authorities called a misguided scheme to uncover electoral fraud.

    But prosecutors said Hotze paid Mark Aguirre, a former Houston police captain, more than $266,000 to conduct the bogus surveillance operation. For that, the 71-year-old Texas GOP megadonor has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful restraint.

    The charges, issued Wednesday, come about a year and a half after the incident, which highlighted contentious claims of electoral fraud during the last presidential election — claims that remain unsubstantiated. Aguirre had allegedly claimed the repairman’s truck contained 750,000 illegal ballots signed by Hispanic children with untraceable fingerprints. Instead, police found parts for air conditioners.

    A far right governor of a red state hiring goons to police elections in their state.  Yeah, no doubt his constituents are eating this shit up big time.  Its almost enough to make me hope sea levels rise about 6 or 7 feet.

    He's a master of making up phony scenarios, putting good headlines on them* and, I suspect, acting upon them in ways that 20 years ago would have upset most people.

    *I mean really, who wants second-graders learning about sex? And why wouldn't you want to police voter fraud? In reality, he's most likely using the Disney case to show he's boss and as step toward fascism and he's using his fraud police to actually create fraud. It really might be over for America.

    As a born-and-raised Floridian, I'm beside myself with joy that someone is finally standing up to Disney's weird corporate autocracy. I'm also deeply disappointed that it's to score political points in a stupid fucking culture war.

    Also, the tax restructuring as written is going to fuck over Orange and Osceola counties big time. Too bad there are no real conservatives left who remember how to practice fiscal responsibility.

    Well that's the pisser, isn't it.  I heard it's many millions of dollars of debt that now xfer to the counties.  DeSantis says he's going to get another bill in place to handle that, but it still means that the state is now absorbing costs that were borne by Disney in the past. There's no way around it.

    All of which doesn’t kick in until 2023 and I’m hearing the legislature can still pass a bill to override or revert back. If Disney opens up the checkbook for repub candidates and PACs, particularly in support of Deathsantis’ POTUS campaign. Blatant extortion.

    Reminds me of one of the funniest and most spot on things I've read on AMT, something gimmesometruth27 said a number of years ago- to the best of my memory- "republicans are against big government except then they are not".   
    They bend the rules or break the rules or make up their own as long as it suits them.  I suppose you could say the same about some Democrats, but this is proven to be way more true for right-wing Republicans.

    Okay, let's review this for a second.  

    McCarthy, who wants to be Speaker, is in crisis mode right now.  Why?  Because he dared to privately state that Trump should resign, to the #3 Republican in Congress (Cheney).  The irony is so pathetic when you are under pressure for saying the right thing privately and the amoral thing publicly.
