Mark Finchem to Newsmax: Media Has Wrongly 'Stigmatized' Election Skeptics
Newsmax ^ | November 7, 2022 | Brian Pfail

Posted on 11/08/2022 6:17:51 AM PST by Navy Patriot

GOP Arizona Sec. of State Candidate Mark Finchem sounded off on Newsmax about claims of election denialism after Sec. of State Katie Hobbs pressed upon the narrative.

"These are folks who are pretending there is evidence that doesn't exist, and they're going to continue to be misled by these leaders," said Hobbs. "But I know that I did my job, and I followed the law."

Hobbs refused to recuse herself from overseeing the state's election. Some wonder if that is a conflict of interest because she is running for governor against Republican Kari Lake.

I figure the Democrats will go 1 of 2 ways:
1) Cheat too much and make it clear to all that our elections are rigged.
2) Lose badly, declare that the Republicans cheated, and open the door to a deep investigation into state election validity.

Them Mother efferd know that if Finchem gets in they’ll never hold another office that they can allow the criminals to steal..means, elections, tax money, whatever.

Democrats are thieves, drug addicts, murderers, whatever..including democrat voters.

You’d have to be a moron to think there would not be. She is crowing about what she believes is her prowess in destroying evidence.

:: Cheat too much and make it clear to all that our elections are rigged. ::

All it takes is for one or more states to call a “pause” in the counting.

:: Lose badly, declare that the Republicans cheated ::

And since the Demonicrats are in charge, \delay\ the announcement or certification of the “perceived “ winner until ALL the votes are counted.

The media has been the biggest and loudest “Election Fraud Denier” in the country. I might add that this is baseless and not supported by facts - like most journalism these days it’s simply Leftist activism.

IIRC, the Colorado Sec of State ordered all electronic results to be destroyed very shortly after the election in Nov 2020.

THAT was as illegal as it can be-—

FED law says all materials & results must be held & available for 22 months after an election.

Strange. My impression is it was quite fair.

What other publication has even allowed the information that Hobbs refuses to recuse herself in her own election?

You have a point.

I was suspicious of the representation of Finchem's statements and remarks.

It is unfortunate that he does not speak in the manner Victor Davis Hanson writes, making manipulation more difficult.

Also I have observed Newsmax add several extraneous paragraphs of Leftist Propaganda to articles lately (though not this one), attracting my attention to a developing bias.

As do I.

I also stipulate I have been a little hard on Newsmax lately, that it is done in good faith.
