Hold on, nobody tell me; I’m going to use my psychic gifts to ascertain the political leanings of this election interfering clerk.
Mmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmm…it’s coming to me….I'm starting to see it more clearly….it starts with an…..”R”? Yes….its “Repopulate”? Wait, no it’s “Republican”. It says the clerk who manipulated votes is a Republican.
I’m sure you’re all as surprised as me at this crazy turn of events.
What? The party that constantly cheats at elections is cheating elections?
I'm convinced that the reason they say the election was stolen is because Republicans actually did rig the election, and trump still lost. So, if Republicans rigged the election and still lost, then they think Democrats must have done something to "steal" the election.
It's almost always projection.
Do me, do me next.
A Republican, Lofgran was Juab County clerk from 2015 to this year. She did not seek reelection in 2022.
The charges followed a 2022 lawsuit against Juab and several other Utah counties seeking 2020 election records. During the lawsuit, a state judge told Lofgran to preserve records from the 2020 election, according to the charging document.
The lawsuit was dismissed but appealed, resulting in a second court order to Lofgran to preserve the 2020 election results.
Soon after the 2022 election, a witness allegedly saw Lofgran put 2022 ballots in a “shred bin” in a large closet near the clerk's office. The ballots had to be taken out of the shred bin for a recount but a deputy clerk allegedly saw Lofgran put them back in later.
The election reports were done and “we don't need them anymore," Lofgran allegedly told the deputy clerk, who is unnamed in the charging document.
Probably the important parts there. Why there’s not a mandate to store those for multiple years…. I dunno. I have to keep tax filings the IRS doesn’t even need in the first pla for seven…
There is a mandate that you keep the ballots for 22 months, and there were two court orders to keep the ballots.
That tracks since Republicans are the biggest threat to the USA
Of representatives.
This is so surprising
