McCain's Former Chief of Staff Slams GOP Over Claims of Vote Fraud in Arizona

Stop doing this, NRSC. McSally is losing fair and square, and she’s underperforming in more than Maricopa. The race is almost certainly lost and nothing will change that. All this does is poison our politics more. Despicable.

Interviewing farmers that said they were patriots and that's why they were voting for her cause she was so much like shithole and belongs to the patriot political party.

I said to myself, what idiots. The tariffs are killing them, but they think shithole is a genius.

Thank goodness a whole lot of rural AZ knew better.

The likely reason is those votes had a higher percentage of Hispanics voting.

But even in the red counties, McSally is not making up ground with the late vote, likely because her split of them has decreased.

That broke like 55-45 or 60-40 for McSally. Apart from the mythical "Bucket B", that's the only place she can run up votes.

Correct me if I am wrong, but a table of Election Day results showed her running up a larger score in the two red counties.

But you are right, McSally is underperforming. Ad it looks like today’s Maricopa drop didn’t help.

a lot of weight!

Of course all the gop does is scream Voter "Fraud" when they're the Biggest Frauds of ALL.

GOPers try to foster that bothsiderism of the corporate media by accusing Democrats and the Democratic Party of GOPer tactics. Sometimes they do it pre-emptively, but ratings rise even when they do it after the facts have come out about themselves.

It's a slog just to get truth mentioned in the noise.
