The very Republican lawmakers who’d have to act in a questionable proposal to hand Trump the electoral college say there’s no way they’d do it.

from bottom of the AP article - add 5, makes 7:

Mark Brnovich is a liar and a fraud.
“I do not see, short of finding some type of fraud — which I haven’t heard of anything — I don’t see us in any serious way addressing a change in electors,” said Rusty Bowers, Arizona’s Republican House speaker...”
I don’t know Arizona that well... but, what rock is that guy living under ?
“I haven’t heard of anything”... ???
Really ?
He’s UNAWARE that there’s a lawsuit, per WaPo:
“The GOP attorney general’s rebuke comes in a week of unproven accusations of voter fraud from the Trump campaign that has caused the president’s lawyers, the Republican National Committee and the Arizona Republican Party to file a lawsuit against Maricopa County alleging poll workers incorrectly invalidated thousands of ballots cast in person.”
“There is no evidence” is the headline... but THE ARTICLE ITSELF SAYS:
“On Tuesday, a judge rejected a request from the Trump campaign’s lawyers to seal their evidence. The judge will begin reviewing evidence and hearing oral arguments on Thursday, according to the Arizona Republic.”

Of course, the rest shows he’s regurgitating Democrat talking points... essentially saying “there is no fraud, but if there is fraud, it doesn’t make any difference”...
“On Wednesday, the attorney general noted the number of supposed invalidated ballots is much smaller than Trump’s deficit in the race. “We are literally talking about less than 200 votes that are in question and doubt,” Brnovich said. Even if those votes flipped, he said, they wouldn’t be enough to secure a Trump victory.”
Moron. Either there IS fraud... or there isn’t... and the number of votes identified IN ONE INSTANCE isn’t the point ?
