That local officials are turning routine administrative tasks into partisan judgments may portend wider problems

, in New Mexico, is home to fewer than 70,000 people. Yet the rural municipality found unfortunate fame recently when local officials refused to certify the results of their primary elections, held on June 7th. New Mexico’s secretary of state, Maggie Toulouse Oliver, swiftly asked the state Supreme Court to compel the county commissioners to certify the results. They eventually voted 2-1 to do so. Couy Griffin was the lone dissenter.

The 'Big Lie' was never proven because none of the allegations were investigated. Al Gore contested the 2000 Florida vote and got multiple fully transparent recounts - none of which gave him a win. Trump should have got the same. So the 2020 result is very suspicious.

The word Trump Truthers is like hearing “Sig Hiel” Every single American from either or no party should be praying that Trump Truthers are exposed and never be permitted to have a position of authority in any election. If they do expect more and more hysterical lies never TRUTH!

They mislabeled..it’s Fascists/racists for trump.
