A group of Republican lawmakers in North Carolina who call themselves the House Freedom Caucus are conducting their own investigation into election fraud, saying they will do “whatever it takes” to inspect voting machines in Durham County, even if they have to use police to force the inspections.

State Rep. Jeff McNeely and other conservative lawmakers claimed at a Thursday news conference that they are acting on behalf of constituents who believe fraud and “machine tampering” took place in the 2020 election. McNeely said the group plans to conduct their inspections by “randomly pick[ing]” counties from across the state and then examining voting machines used in the presidential election to see if they have a modem that can connect to the internet. North Carolina state law prohibits voting machines from having modems.

During the news conference, McNeely selected the first county the legislators plan to investigate. Using an incredibly scientific method — pulling a county name from a sequined, USA-themed hat covered by a napkin — McNeely chose a slip of paper and announced it would be Durham County, which voted overwhelmingly for President Biden.

“I expect full cooperation from the good people in Durham because I feel like they have nothing to hide,” McNeely said. “We look forward to working with them, proving that our elections were true and were valid and there was nothing wrong with them. If that’s not the case, then we look to do an investigation. And if there need to be criminal charges, they will be filed also.”

7. I think he shot-gunned his couch

15. Oddly Noticed By Me

As I sit here wearing a Hawaiian shirt. LOL!
F those posuers. I'm not changing my look because a bunch of fake tough guys adopted the look. I've been wearing these & cabaña shirts for over 30 years.
But, his look & his unamerican words made the connection for me pretty quickly.

[Mr.Bill]

16. I noticed it, too.

I was going to post about it then I read your post. I bet if some journalist went over file photos and video of this guy they would find him flashing the White Power sign, too.

18. Wouldn't Be Surprising At All

But, I'm particularly tuned into it because I'm angry over the coopting such a popular fashion.
Like I said before; F those guys!

9. My mom had a dress like that in 1968. She wore it better.

13. I figure they're having their office Halloween costume party early.

Heck, the guy behind Mr. Hibiscus is only about 1/2 step away from a leisure suit.

Maybe they're just running late for their paying job at Psycho Stan's Used Cars and Trucks.
