RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Wren Williams, an attorney who worked on former President Donald Trump’s unsuccessful Wisconsin recount, has ousted long-serving incumbent Del. Charles Poindexter in a Republican primary for the Virginia House of Delegates.

Williams’ victory in Tuesday’s nominating contest will bring to an end Poindexter’s representation of the ultraconservative 9th House District, which covers parts of Franklin, Patrick and Henry counties south of Roanoke.

Williams will face Bridgette Craighead in November, when Republicans will be trying to wrest control of the state House back from Democrats.

During the race, Williams characterized Poindexter as a career politician and criticized him for not speaking out about alleged voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, even though numerous officials have confirmed that widespread fraud did not occur.

The “reporter” in their “news” article draws the conclusion that “widespread fraud did not occur”. What evidence do you have for this? What happened to the journalism “standard” of when writing an article evaluate “What, When, Where, Why, Who, How”?

“...even though numerous officials have confirmed that widespread fraud did not occur”

Those “officials” were all part of the coup. Why would they admit to committing a crime of which the penalty is execution by military firing squad. The are all part of the cover up.

. . . even though numerous officials have confirmed that widespread fraud did not occur.

Did they quiz their fellow Urinalists in the newsroom? Or just take the word of DNC and GOPe party hacks?
