josh_lawson _aizaguirre I quite as an election worker 6 years ago. I had to because of my poor health, but also voters were getting more and more aggressive, I was hit once and threatened more, and I was thinking what I would do if there were a shooter...

_aizaguirre Hard to stay when your getting death threats

_aizaguirre Are we giving up?

_aizaguirre It's be 'partisan' to not let Qanon loons and Trump grifters take over the electoral structure!

dinabass _aizaguirre In my (battleground) state of Michigan, during the presidential election, officials changed voting, vote counting, and voter ID requirements without a vote on this by the people. This changed the outcome of the election. Was that wrong?

_aizaguirre gop is a terrorist organization

_aizaguirre Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers June 11, 2021

amandacarpenter _aizaguirre How do we know those leaving weren’t partisan actors?

_aizaguirre End the electoral college. Not a panacea, but will make this a little less worrisome.

_aizaguirre Our system is broken

_aizaguirre

_aizaguirre It’s be design. The GOP only chance of winning elections is by death threats and intimidation. And in the case of City_of_SLO some serious racism against a 3rd generation AAPI election official who served 15 years.

SethAbramson _aizaguirre In my home county in Tennessee, a repub election official is on the cusp of being ousted. He went home to check on his truck or something. It’s being used to oust him and install authoritarian style officials.

SethAbramson _aizaguirre 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

minter01 _aizaguirre That was the aim of the GQP actors who terrorized those local officials.

_aizaguirre This is the face of America. I've never been more ashamed.

_aizaguirre I'm not in a battle ground state, but I live in a very RED district in California. I worked elections for almost 20 years, but NO MORE. Too many trump assholes in my area.

SethAbramson _aizaguirre They may be replaced by partisan actors and conspiracy theorists, who will get a lesson on how the law works if they try anything.

_aizaguirre Perhaps they are 'retiring' now, with their pension in tact, before the investigations conclude that may show them to be complacent in the many abnormalities that were seen last year and getting fired thus loosing the pension. Just a thought.

SethAbramson _aizaguirre 2022 will be the last Democratic election held in the USA.

SethAbramson _aizaguirre Every single time good ppl resign they’re replaced by bad ppl. Yet ppl always resign instead of fighting.

_aizaguirre Of course they're leaving, they might be patriotic, but they aren't crazy.

_aizaguirre Un- American States should be removed from the Union. Borders shut. All technological connections severed. Place them “beyond the pale.”

_aizaguirre You mean honest people

SethAbramson _aizaguirre This is fuckin serious unless Dems spring into action. We are losing state after state as we speak. Eventually R states will throw out D ballots, polling places will be swamping with R crazies harassing voters. It’s not paranoia, it’s real. TeamPelosi RepSwalwell RepAdamSchiff

_aizaguirre Excellent. Corrupt and fraud loving election officials are jumping the ship before they are pushed. Great news. Cheats exposed themselves.

_aizaguirre Now is not the time to protest by leaving, it is the time to protest by STAYING

_aizaguirre

_aizaguirre They're getting DEATH THREATS just because they won't agree to the Big Lie. Any NON-GOP APPROVED person who runs will get DEATH THREATS. So tell me both sides are the same, yet you've never seen ANY pro-democrat group turn terrorist because poll workers won't CHEAT for you?

_aizaguirre Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony under federal law. Threatening the President of the United States is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by up to 5 years of imprisonment, that is investigated by the United States Secret Service.

_aizaguirre

SethAbramson _aizaguirre That’s why they are threatening these people, so only the corrupt remain

_aizaguirre The art of the real “steal” is going on right before our eyes. Falsely say the election was full of fraud, try to overturn certifications, attack the Capitol, threaten election officials, pass legislation that makes voting harder but easier to overturn results.

_aizaguirre Red states watch way too much zombie shows.

_aizaguirre This is bad.

_aizaguirre Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about GeorgeLinf32 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
