Right now she is not the governor of Arizona and until a new election is held and she runs again she will never be governor of Arizona.

Win elections first, then change the laws, otherwise you will likely lose.

Play the election game with the rules that exist, whatever they might be, you sound like a sore loser when you lose by tying one hand behind your back and then complain about the outcome.

Trump’s personality is why he’s still eligible for another term

You inadvertently proved my point, DeSantis actually won his election then changed the system.

Look back at Florida in 2020, no one was happy about the election process in Florida during Bush v. Gore.

Over time Republicans won and changed the system.

All the facts you listed are true, but Kerry Lake didn’t win and no court has said she did, until that changes she is just making allegations in a legal sense.

BTW, in 2022, DeSantis won by over 1 million votes.
Popular vote DeSantis-4,614,210 Crist-3,106,313

His 19.4% margin of victory was the largest since 1982 and the largest for a Republican since 1868. It was also the first time the governorship was won by double digits since 2002, and the first time it was won by over one million votes.

The success of DeSantis wasn’t just because the Supervisor of Elections in Dade County was changed.

That is exactly my point, elections that take days to determine the winner do nothing but undermine the election system and breed mistrust.

Even if the results are true and accurate, no one really believes them when it takes days to determine the winner.

You could make the argument if every state took days to determine the winner that it is just a long-drawn-out process. Since Florida can count over 7.5 million votes and report the results by midnight, that proves it can be done fairly and without either side complaining.

If DeSantis cannot answer a yes or no question about the 2020 election or the J-6 detainees he is not getting my vote.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will be voting for Trump in November 2024, even if I have to write it in.

So far, I am still willing to consider DeSantis for 2028, if he bows out gracefully this time and endorses Trump.

Frankly, I think DeSantis is too smart to actually take on Trump head-on. I think he's keeping his options open in case the crooked lawfare rats manage to finally take down Trump.

Trump left his J6ers to rot in the DC gulag. He didn’t lift a finger to help them. I guess that’s ok, though.

I consider this an incredibly stupid view of things. How was Trump supposed to know that the Biden Junta would act like this, especially after BLM and Antifa actually burned down buildings and had real riots?

How was Trump supposed to preemptively pardon these people before he even knew they would face this kind of trouble?

You are being unrealistic and unfair.

There is nothing in the Constitution that ties the appointment of Electors to popular vote elections.

There is no direct tie, but the constitution establishes a Republican form of government. Fair elections are an inherent necessity in this form of government even if the Constitution does not specifically address them on this scale.

As Madison said of the constitution, "Had we undertaken the task of explaining every aspect, we would have written a digest of laws, and not a Constitution."

Envious of what? That I couldn’t personally fumble away the last 2 elections like Donald Trump? Oh sorry - his endorsements were total game changers in all of those R+22 districts.

He could have pardoned them pre-emptively, Einstein.

Having no knowledge of any actual crimes they may have committed? Why would any sane man do such a thing?

Acting without knowledge is foolish, especially when there was no indication that they would be oppressed in the manner they have been.

Election fraud certainly happened in 2020, but it’s pointless to keep arguing that, win some elections first then change the laws, ...

I would think most people who communicate on this website would be familiar with "catch 22".

How are you gonna "win" a corrupt election so you can clean up a corrupt election?

No change can happen without winning elections first, election fraud being a main campaign issue is a loser, 2022 showed that clearly, move on, focus on the current situation and it’s devastating everyone in the country.

If the media liars hammered it the way they did "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA!!!" it would be the primary issue the voters would be concerned about.

I woke up years ago in realizing the media liars are a tool of our deep state/crony capitalist/ fascism cartel. The public thinks about what the media liars keep them focused on.

Indeed, decades ago, before computers and the internet and cell phone apps, we often knew the winner of elections on election night. Or if very close, the next morning.

With all the modern technology being used in elections, we now see results not reported as quickly as in the past.

A couple of things in reply, the MSM is never going to report election issues as RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, move on and learn to fight another way.

How do win elections in a system that’s rigged??

You run elections based on the rules that exist.

What plan does the RNC or any Republican organization have to capitalize on ballot harvesting ??

How will the GOP deal with mail in voting??

The answer right now is they don’t have a plan for either issue except to complain about it

Your right sorry. However, DeSantis won Dade after firing the Supervisor of elections in Dade. His first election in which you said he won to change things had to go into a recount. And Gillum conceded on November 17 around 10 days after the election.

The mixup was that Trump got 600,000 more votes than DeSantis in Florida and it was the start of the State turning deep red. No Governor won Dade since 2002. Fire the supervisor and boom winning again.

The sad part is even when Republicans win (DeSantis the exception) they are afraid to fight fraud. A classic example is Kemp in GA. GA is a red state with a red state governor that allows wholesale cheating.

Yep.

And in a rare coherent and honest moment, on October 25th 2020, Biden confessed:

"We're in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for President Obama's administration before this, we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics," Biden said during a campaign event.

Oh.

And what did Ronna do with the money raised for election challenges? She is the queen of a culture of losing.

<>Stealing an election actually deserved a full scale insurrection.<>

Indeed.

Before that was the attempted Deep State coup orchestrated by The Bamster, Brandon and The Beast.

“I think the party has developed a culture of losing.”

Not really...in straight up honest matches, they stand a good chance. But where the “mail in “ fraud is still in place and enhanced, they are fools to even try because the counting goes on until a dumblecrat wins, however many recounts and found ballota it takes.

FL has taken steps but too many other states, even wih Republican legislatures are too timid to try or simply won’t do anything.

DS is blind if he thinks 2022 NY, PA, MI, GA, and AZ were fair elections. Thats not how to win...
