And news of one of the state board thinking of not voting to certify was disgusting

Stop trying to do our job. Reconciling any discrepancies belongs to the County canvassers. It's not your job. Period. Stop playing politics.

I am guessing she didn't call him a fucking asshole since it was on t.v., even if she wanted to.

I posted a comment to that end.

I've shut off the feed. I don't have the patience to watch it any longer. I'll wait for the certification, whenever they're done with the comment period.

You folks should be proud of the representation of your election personnel. As I have been watching the testimonies presented, I see absolutely no plausible reason for the certification not be processed. Hoping for the best for all of you, our nation and democracy.

This is the dumbest process. What’s the purpose of this board if they literally have ZERO authority? They can’t do anything until they certify

its to certify that all counties have returned certifications. its not to investigate any election fraud. They are just there to affirm the state has received all the numbers.
