Just heard this headline on Dean Obedeillah‘s show on XM, I can’t correct the spelling his name right now but those of you who are familiar with him know who I’m talking about.

You might say it’s ridiculous for them to just refuse to certify elections and it is but some of us have been WARNING about this for a very long time hoping someone in the party on national television would shake things up and get peoples attention before this becomes normal.

I can’t get the story link here right now maybe someone else can please or start a new thread about it. Wait. Found it

Figure we have a problem now?

Maybe having a high profile dem go on natl tv and use the F word to get attention isnt RIDICULOUS after all.

And in red counties of Blue states.

5. New Mexico is a blue state

but the county in question is blood red.

6. Even worse, this means ANY red county can do this nationwide, and they will.

Personally I have been talking about this for two years yelling and screaming and hoping someone would pay attention, I am not the only one of course, and I thought that maybe if someone in the party high up would do something drastic to draw attention to what was going to happen maybe we could get people to understand how bad November is going to be and how badly we need them to vote etc.

12. We were all naive, including myself.

When Biden won, I assumed the insanity was defeated and the GOP could now move on as they had no need to put up with him. Like a malignant cancer, little did we know getting rid of the big lump wasn’t enough; it already spread throughout the party.

They have forced our two party system into a situation where there is only room for one party. Unless this can be stopped in its tracks, they won’t stop until it is one party GOP rule; which will eventually morph slowly into a version of repeated history.

And if that happens, considering what is going on in the rest of the world, enough time goes by with America now out of the world police role, nuclear world destruction seems a lot more possible.

Everything about the future is on the line right now and in 2024.

7. More of this will be happening.

I think we will have a pretty good idea of how 2024 is gonna go down based on how 2022 finishes up.

8. If we dont win an election by at least 65-35 it will NOT be certified if GOP is in charge

and probably not even then.

9. +1,

10. According to Maddow, a criminal referral is being made against them n/t

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. And the NM Supreme Court has ordered them to certify by Fri

or face contempt of court and possible removal from the commission.

13. I had thought it had been reported the leader and sole member of...

Compost for TFG had resigned from the commission upon his conviction for J6. So, I was doubly surprised at the turn of events.

What makes what they are doing even weirder is the only contested races in the primary were GOP.

It has me guessing this is a dry run or demonstration for other hive minded non-certifications in the November general.
