Considering that Kansas’ SOS is a Republican, running for re-election on a ‘safe and secure elections’ platform, I’m leaning toward an honest recount. An appreciable discrepancy between the count and recount would not be a good look for him.
I live in one of the counties that will be recounted. I have full confidence in our local officials to conduct an open and transparent election. I believe the recount will prove this.
Latest update is that $40k was raised online from the rubes, and the credit card supplied by Gietzen, head of the anti-abortion group in Kansas, will be charged the other $80k. Giezten is guaranteeing it with, among other sources, funds from his Boeing 401k.
And the number 1 goal is to just sow doubt about the integrity of elections, and that endless recounts on-demand become normalized.
Honestly, I would like to see strengthening of recount trigger laws and protocols, and a stronger push-back against all of these whack-jobs demanding recounts.
Rayla Campbell, Republican running for Secretary of State of Massachusetts, running on a campaign of “schools want to tell your five year old it’s ok to suck another five year old’s dick”, is running around claiming that the book “Gender Queer” is kiddie porn (it’s about the author’s childhood questioning their gender) . Somebody called the cops on her for carrying a copy of the book, claiming she was holding kiddie porn. https://twitter.com/search?q=Rayla%20Campbell&src=typeahead_click
