Trying to find the Party this person belongs to was like pulling teeth. I had to Google it. I fail to understand why they can't just come out and say whether they're a Republican or Democrat.

It wasn’t a perfect election twice?

I’m gonna need some smelling salts here....

[the_Watchman]

So, since you Googled it, were you going to tell us?

[AirForceVet1988]

Republican

[lightman]

Phawk.

I fail to understand why they can't just come out and say whether they're a Republican or Democrat.

The corrupt press covers for democrats as much as they can... Here's what we know - if it had been a Republican doing this - it would have been mentioned in the headline or first paragraph.

But it WAS a Republican and the article DOESN’T mention it. . . . at all.

[Wdempsey]

Jail her ass!

"But it WAS a Republican and the article DOESN’T mention it. . . . at all."

This should prompt democrats to mandate more conscientious enforcement of election laws (/sarc).

[GOPJ]

WOW - and it was ABC News / AP...

I’m impressed.

Thanks for the correction.

[Ikeon]

Guilty!!!! Now for the sentence. I vote for the Chair for gross election fraud/ tampering.

[roving]

As Arizona has showed us, Republicans can be just as dirty as Democrats.

Back in the 1980s, I had to return to my county (during my Air Force years) for a renewal on the driver’s license. I had to go and deal with the county clerks.

It was one of those experiences that brought out the incompetence of these clerks. I don’t think any of them had the mental capacity or maturity of an adult. It wouldn’t shock me if the gal here in this case has no political persuasion and was simply dimwitted.

Well, it depends on when the shredding occurred:

§20701. Retention and preservation of records and papers by officers of elections; deposit with custodian; penalty for violation

Every officer of election shall retain and preserve, for a period of twenty-two months from the date of any general, special, or primary election of which candidates for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, or Resident Commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico are voted for, all records and papers which come into his possession relating to any application, registration, payment of poll tax, or other act requisite to voting in such election, except that, when required by law, such records and papers may be delivered to another officer of election and except that, if a State or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico designates a custodian to retain and preserve these records and papers at a specified place, then such records and papers may be deposited with such custodian, and the duty to retain and preserve any record or paper so deposited shall devolve upon such custodian. Any officer of election or custodian who willfully fails to comply with this section shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

( Pub. L. 86–449, title III, §301, May 6, 1960, 74 Stat. 88 .)

22 months passed at midnight of Sept. 9th, 2021.

Now the 2022 elections ballots are a problem. 😋

[Robert DeLong]

8th paragraph down in the article you posted, clearly states:

A Republican, Lofgran was Juab County clerk from 2015 to this year. She did not seek reelection in 2022.

But that could easily be missed. 🙂

[wintertime]

She looks like a Relief Society President.

[SMARTY]

Looks like a narrow minded and hateful HS counselor

I know why they don't put it front and center. When the perp is a Democrat, (which is predominantly the case), it shows them up for exactly who they are
