The outgoing Arizona AG (Rep.) is now trying to eat the Arizona Election Administrator’s (Rep.) face. Because of course us librals are so all powerful that we are able to bend elected Republican officials to our will. If we didn’t have to waste so much tax money on this shit, maybe we could do something about the schools. ---

I hereby encourage ALL Republicans to refuse to perform their duties until there is a do-over. They should all go on strike, and just stay home. Forever. ---

This is a GREAT idea. Hell, I’ll pay them to stay at home. Much cheaper, and much, much less damage. ---

I think a do over is a great idea. Now that the voters of Arizona see exactly what they got, maybe they’d vote this idiot out. Yeah. Probably not. ---

The idea of doing the whole thing all over is a non-starter, she’s just making mouth noises that are pissing off the Republicans I’ve heard from. I’m all for paying her to not vote and agree that the others Repugs should as well. ---

On the other hand, Republicans only have a two-vote majority in the AZ House, so if two other representatives joined her cause they’d throw the majority to the Democrats. ---
