Election fraud is real. And there was a lot of it in the 2020 election.
But the mainstream media in general, and the Washington Post in particular, would have you think that angry, Trump-deranged, radical Democrats, steeped in a "by any means necessary" revolutionary ideology, as well as long-entrenched machine politics, would never dream of such a thing.
Unfortunately, (for them) yesterday's news from Arizona tells a different story:
Arizona woman admits guilt in ballot collection scheme
PHOENIX — An Arizona woman accused of illegally collecting early ballots in the 2020 primary election pleaded guilty Thursday in an agreement with state prosecutors that saw more serious forgery and conspiracy charges dismissed and limited any potential for a lengthy prison sentence.
Guillermina Fuentes, 66, could get probation for running what Arizona attorney general’s office investigators said was a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out their ballots.
The Washington Post ran this Associated Press story, not bothering, despite its stable of well-paid reporters, to report the matter itself. The AP, based on what I could tell from Google search, was the only non-local news outlet that did. A few outlets cribbed from the AP story, but nobody else on the national scene put the hours in to cover the actual story.
Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza felt a measure of vindicationt to see the story on the Washington Post's site:
Even the @washingtonpost gives in—repudiating its own national correspondent @pbump who has insisted that coordinated ballot harvesting merely “helps people vote.”

Oh swell, no punishment. Now that's a real deterrence.
Tell me when people start getting tossed into wood-chippers feet first, I’ll know it not more political masturbation designed to separate good people from their hard earned cash.
Why offer a plea? What was received in return for the slap on the wrist? I am sick of lazy, left wing “prosecutors” who do not want to prosecute.
Phillip Pump is a buffoon. No doubt he has not even seen the film.
While the story unavoidably made the WaPo’s claims of free and fair elections in 2020 look pretty skeezy, given that there was videotape, the AP story itself was pretty biased.
AP’s account focused not on the fraud that verifiably place in that swing state, but on all the charges the prosecutors could not or did not pin on the woman charged, such as conspiracy, forgery, and paying voters for their unmarked ballots. AP concluded that it was just a little localized fraud, no major issue.
AP wrote:
“But there’s no sign her illegal ballot collection went beyond the small-town politics Fuentes was involved in.”
Which is pretty naive, given that just because a prosecutor cannot prove a charge doesn’t mean that the problem isn’t going on. Election fraud, for AP’s information, is notoriously hard to prove, which is why so little of it gets prosecuted, and so much of it winds up in films like “2000 Mules.” With election machinery welded to the political machinery, it’s even less likely to be charged, given that prosecutors may fear political retaliation. The dropping of the conspiracy charge in this Arizona case, for one thing, seems kind of ridiculous. Why the heck would anyone stuff ballot boxes and collect ballots and pay off voters if it weren’t for someone higher up in the political hierarchy? Conspiracy seems baked in the cake, but it’s possible the prosecutors couldn’t prove who this woman was talking to.
Instead of asking those questions, or asking the prosecutors why they weren’t able to prove all of the charges they suspected, the AP idiotically concluded that the only possible reason for that outcome was that the Democrats didn’t do it.
So what? I ask again, so what?
No one died for the destruction of the Republic by election fraud.
Absent fraudster death for the greatest of crimes against the Republic , election fraud, it will continue. The Republic is lost
May God expose every last criminal that stole the last election, and may true justice prevail.
Amen.
$50 per vote. Follow the money.
I think they call it Marxist shopping a lot of that going on of late.
None of it matters, they’ll do it again this year in the mid-terms and they’ll do it again in 2024.
I don’t care WHAT these media losers think! It’s idiotic to believe that the box office returns for THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN were record breaking and higher than the literal block busting lines for STAR WARS. This is what we had in 2020!
Pfizer stock was the pay off. See who was invested just prior to 2019 and you will find your conspirators.
My attorney brother tells me that the WORST lawyers take government jobs, and they fear embarrassment in court.
If she gave detailed testimony against her DNC handlers, then it might be OK.
Heroine Guillermina with immaculate qualifications now is destined to be the democRat Supervisor of Elections for the border town of San Luis as she was giving a helping hand to the poor and handicap and the helpless indigent and with deep special kindness for the SENILE. Perhaps the house and senate in benevolent desperation should in haste take this matter up.
