Republican Voter Suppression Omnibus Thread

Sayonara Cyber Ninjas.

Cyber Ninjas, the company that led a partisan review of 2020 ballots in Arizona, is closing down following a scathing report by election officials and the threat of $50,000 a day in fines.

"Cyber Ninjas is shutting down. All employees have been let go," Rod Thomson, the company's representative, said in a text message Thursday evening.

The Florida-based company, founded in 2013, has less than a dozen employees, according to its LinkedIn page.

A reporter for The Guardian earlier Thursday reported Cyber Ninjas' plans to shut down.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah said he would impose a $50,000 fine against Cyber Ninjas every day until it hands over documents related to the so-called audit after the Arizona Republic newspaper filed a public records request, The Associated Press reported Thursday.

Jack Wilenchik, a lawyer for Cyber Ninjas, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

County election officials released a report Wednesday rebutting almost every claim in the ballot review. It concluded that nearly 80 claims made by Cyber Ninjas were misleading or false.

State Senate Republicans announced the results of their conspiracy-laden audit of the 2020 presidential election results in September. It concluded that President Joe Biden had won 360 more votes than Maricopa County had awarded him in the official count.

"Truth is truth. Numbers are numbers," Arizona Senate President Karen Fann said at a hearing last year on the review of the audit.

The judge is having none of their shit, stating they will pursue individual orders against Cyber Ninjas employees if they continue to withhold the documents they are legally required to make public as part of an audit process.

Real:

Just realised the above capture doesn't include the full image:

I think the "if two voters have the same first initial, last name, and birth year, that means somebody voted twice" thing is my favorite.

Although I haven't read it in depth; there may be even stupider conclusions.

President Snowflake hangs up on NPR reporter.

This seems like really really really illegal.....

You're surprised?

So Biden made a speech about voter rights. He was an angry little old white dude with no power and no plan to do anything but bitch at the kids on his lawn from his big white house. Then he sent his propaganda network after the people who did not show up at his little bitch speech because they actually wanted him to do something.

Sorry to the people out there who are just waking up, but Biden ran on not doing a fucking thing that would make republicans angry. How is that bipartisanship working for you now that Biden is letting republicans take away your votes? I am sure his firey speech will intimidate the republicans or get munchkin and skinema on his side.

Anyway, I figure a preliminary I told you so to the Biden Bros is again in order. This shit will never get old because Biden is never going to stop being a pathetic weakling. There is three more years of him selling out your votes for his corporate overlords.

Maybe I am wrong and Biden will do something about voting? Maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt.

But what about UA's broke dick jeep?
What about that, huh?
Yeah, you've been letting that issue slip.

Did it have something to do with this that I did not know? Has UA been banging jill on the side?

It's your story, you investigate.

You brought up his brokedick jeep out of nowhere, so I was investigating why.

Looks like Sinema's going to kill the filibuster change.

I think at this point it’s entirely reasonable to ask if Sinema is suffering from mental illness.

I think Sinema has gotten so invested in perpetuating the character she's written for herself that she can't remember anything else.

Nah, she's a narcissist and the only way people will pay attention to her is if she goes against the grain, so that's what she does.

It means "enforce every picayune rule you can possibly find and throw out ballots if the 'y' in somebody's name has a slightly wider loop than it does on their drivers license, but only if the voter lives in one of a select group of 'wrong' zip codes."

The Republican base continues to skew older. Which means they are in worse physical shape and more likely to prefer absentee/mail voting over in person voting. The Republicans were in such a hurry to show their fealty to Trump they forgot they might be disenfranchising their own voters with these “election integrity” laws.

Who does that remind me of?

Next time somebody wants to rant about Democrats being power-hungry, I hope they remember today's example of how even when Democrats have power, they refuse to use it.

Ignoring the dog-whistle (which I think is wise; it’s a distraction), that’s a statistic in the category of lies and damn lies. The question is not at what rates are African-Americans voting, but at what rate do they want to vote and can’t. It’s far from inconceivable that blacks want to vote at higher rates than Americans do overall. And if they do, equal voting rates means more blacks are being disenfranchised, while providing good cover for that very disenfranchisement.

Also, to what extent are their votes limited in effect by tactics like gerrymandering?

Emphasis mine.

I'm hoping you meant "other Americans". and not fallen into McConnel's level of ignorance thinking Black Americans are not "Americans".
