So, what Im gathering, and it seems to only be one side doing this, is :
If we win the election, democracy wins. If we lose an election it was rigged, there is mass voter fraud democracy has died and we'll have an endless online tantrum.
How did we get here?

There was no mention prior to the election that the secretary of state who was running for governor, was of any question in ability to fairly execute the election or validate it fully. But once the GOP side lost- well they lost their minds and now she's conflicted. If Kari Lake had won, they would be rolling around and laughing in her face, taunting- " HAHA sucker- you can't beat Trump nominated ppl- (we are MAGA Trump boot lickers!)". Well maybe not that last part, but it would still be true if they did add that.
Imagine what we'd be seeing if more of the Trump election deniers were winners??? There would be nothing more than fox having each of them on air, selling their respective books, and hocking fruit/ veg capsules, vavaavooom, and the pillow guy having a full blown manic episode. But I'd say the DEMs have been pretty respectfully chill (surprised), about not rubbing the GOP and their State TV FOX and OAN news reporters faces in the losses.
The good people who do the work for any election, but specifically in Maricopa county earn a whopping 12.75 or so per hour. They do the work of hand counting ballots that are lawfully and legally cast. Are some of them ardent supporters of a particular person or party- for sure, but that doesn't mean they would cheat. That's why there are MANY observers there. If there was an issue, they have a method to cure and hand tabulate the votes, again with observers in place. The fact that the GOP doesn't like the outcome is not only typical, but just another election denier episode.
I would say that candidates who don't accept the outcomes of elections should not be eligible to run for public office again. The damage they do to integrity affects all of us, but it's only cause they are too big of pussies to say they lost.
Kari lake " I'll accept the results of the election when it says I won"....and if you don't? "I will accept the results because I'll win".
Bye Felicia.
