From a department half full of glass, Maricopa County’s vote to prove the November 8 election opens up a whole new and compelling opportunity for the election veto industry.
And who but our own state Senator, Wendy Rogers, will lead the way?
Within minutes of the (Republican-run) Maricopa County Oversight Board voting (unanimously) to certify the vote on Monday, Rogers held out her hand.
“I am Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers and I hold Maricopa County accountable for its election hoax,” she wrote in a fundraising petition.
And “help me” means she transfers money.
Even Under Republican Control, Rogers’ Ideas Never Passed
Rogers will chair the new Senate Election Committee in January. This is a job given to her by incoming Senate Speaker Warren Her Petersen, one of her architects for the Senate’s cyber ninja audit.
Rogers is arguably the dumbest legislator ever elected in Arizona, chairing a committee with about a 0.00% chance that her “election integrity” idea will pass into law. It is the attribute that gives her the only qualification to serve.
She has been charged with revoking her accreditation for the 2020 election, ending the state’s wildly popular early voting program, arresting election officials for (non-existent) fraud, and a series of actions that have made her a national rock star. repeatedly asking for the entire list of silly thoughts. Difficult right.
“Security and safety”:After rowdy crowd opposition, Maricopa County proves election
And we got millions of dollars in campaign money from all over the country.
Now, suddenly, as Democrats prepare to take over as governor and attorney general, Rogers is vowing to somehow engineer a redo of Maricopa County’s 2022 election.
So if you give her $35 or $60, fork over $5,300 into her campaign.
“Maricopa County is getting out of hand and hates its own voters,” she wrote in a recent money plea. I can’t go.”
No, I don’t see “perp walks”
She then cites the usual conspiracy theorists at Trump Central and Turning Point USA, who regularly issue warnings about all sorts of despicable schemes, but no real evidence. never seem to back up their claims.
Luckily, Rogers doesn’t need proof to declare the Maricopa County election rigged (so send money to Rogers).
Or that people should go to jail (so send her money).
“Looks like a coordinated attempt by Maricopa County to disenfranchise thousands of voters. Maricopa County leaders were supporting Kari Lake!” Rogers said in a pitch Monday. I wrote asking for cash. “Not only is poll hoaxing involved, but ballot collection (now illegal in Arizona) must be prosecuted!
“I want to do a purple walk!”
In fact, Rogers has been calling for the Purp Walk for two years now. She is also called upon to build a public gallows to gallow her political opponents.
Now we know who she envisions as the first person to swing.
“Katie Hobbs colluded with Maricopa County officials to throw this election,” she wrote in a cash pitch Monday. “We have the evidence, we have the receipts. The 2022 elections will have to be redone under heavy court scrutiny,” she wrote.
“As a state senator and chairman of the Election Commission, I will not allow this to happen again.”
Re-election is the best way to clear up grievances
It is not explained how Rogers plans to sabotage democracy.
As chairman of the Senate Elections Committee, she has the power to decide which bills will be considered in January.
Just in case Arizona’s incoming Governor Hobbes will be able to buy barrels of ink to veto, Rogers’ proposal miraculously reaches her desk. .
But here we have Rogers.
“Fix Maricopa’s election fraud! We won’t stop pushing until it’s over.”
And Rogers says: We plan to fix this. ”
And in case you don’t understand her drift, here’s Rogers:
“PS Arizona is looking at how well I can raise money and how many Patriots will support me. Can you help me show them where I am?”
Let the grifting begin.
