I knew by posting this there would be a lot of anger, and I would be called a lot of names. And I thank the people who have stated they understand.
I have been part of FreeRepublic since 1998. My Father Edlinn, was one of the original Freepers. I wanted to explain what happened and what is going on in Arizona because I feel like you guys are my family. Being called a coward particularly aggravates me. I am not a coward. Nobody has ever accused me of that. I am known for speaking my mind,. Being a coward would have been to certify the election and go hide without explaining why I voted like I did. If not wanting to go to jail for something I have no control over and would hurt my County is cowardly, I will have to rethink that word. I stand by all my votes and If I make a mistake, I bring back the issue and make it right. There was no winning with this one. Hate on me if you wish.. I will still love you... like all dysfunctional families!!! :)
I didn’t call you a coward, and I don’t hate you, at all.
I would say however, if the little cheating Commie gets sworn in as Governor, it’s time for everyone in the AZ National Guard to quit.
Do not bear arms in the service of a false tyrant. Aquinas had some things to say about soldiers who knowingly bear arms for a corrupt prince, and the fate that awaits them at Judgement.
Thank you for putting up this thread, Hildy. Very informative.
Hildy,
I am sorry that people here called you names. I often get called names here by angry people, and sometimes for no real reason.
For an election to be fair, it must not favor one side over the other. What has been stated here is there were problems with voting machines on election day when voters are heavily Republican. One estimate had stated 75% of election day voters on election day were Republican. So, the voting machine problems in which voters were turned away from polls without having voted were overwhelming Republican. Those who voted in door #3 had their ballots not securely handled.
And, it took another 6 days to count the votes, for what reason? More opportunity for fraud! It looks like a fraudulent election to me. I have learned if it looks and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. They needed to prove it was a fair election, and they couldn’t because it wasn’t. There was a razor thin margin, and the election would have been won by Kari Lake had the Republican voters not been disenfranchised by the voting machine “problems”, and poll workers telling voters to go somewhere else to vote, where they were then told they had already voted, which they had not.
Hildy, would you please let me know if for any reason you believe I am mistaken. I would like your input, please.
Don’t take it personally. Freepers are super skeptical about everything. and...... I remember your father posting here and that he wrote a Leo Durocher biography.
When you can not do the right thing, you resign before doing the wrong thing. Been there done that. We all love you, you are family even thou you screwed up. LOL
It is near impossible for me to have any faith in the reliability of the election system. When I see someone such as you sitting on a board that certifies these votes, I can not comprehend why you can't do anything. That being said, I have no idea what it is you do, so please do not take offense to my questions.
As I understand it, Cochise county asked for a county wide recount and was told they were not allowed. If you are not allowed to recount / audit, what does certification actually mean? If there was any cheating in Tucson, wouldn’t finding it destroy the credibility of the voting machines in the entire state? If we are not willing to recount in our “Red” areas, why would we expect a recount in only the blue areas? This looks like the same movie we have seen before, you can’t challenge until there is certification, and certification is proof there is nothing wrong and the count is accurate.
Again, do not take this personally, but perhaps you could educate us as to what the process is and how do we fix the system?
