Oh a precedent has been set Boad.

So the case was for 1.6B. Fox settles at 700M and change.

What do you think other Fox competitors are worth? It's sub 500m, and that's being very generous, like double in some cases like OAN. These cases are still open.

So, with one fell swoop, you can eliminate Fox's competition AND never get to the heart of the voting machines matter.

Hrmph. You just had to correct me, didn't you? You just had to go and start spouting cold hard truths to me, didn't ya? Couldn't let me enjoy my little bubble of ignorant bliss, could you? Not even just this once...

Fine. Be that way.

However, it does demonstrate that Dominion can be bought off.

Maybe.

Or maybe Fox was paid off to "settle" the suit and send a message to other uppity news media...

We have a duty to the facts and truth!
Apologies that the duty stinks.


With so many stories on Dominions problems pre 2020 that have been suppressed, I find it difficult to see this scenario any other way.

There you go again...

If Arizona Residents knew Katie Hobbs was under criminal investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's office, would she have won?

Kari Lake exposes a bombshell: truthsocial.com...

Democrats wouldn't have been able to cheat Joe Biden into the White House if the FBI had not forced Social Media and Media companies to keep the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop hidden, or make those who saw any of it, think the documents were "Russian Disinformation".

Maybe "hiding truths" aided Hobbs and hurt Lake.

Remember the Prove Mike Wrong challenge?

Mike Lindell said he had proof China interfered in the 2020 election and dared anyone to prove him wrong with a 5 million money pot if they could.

Guess who has to pay out $5 million!

Honest to God, you cannot make this crap up. Total comedy.

Again, Knoxie? Can't even provide a link from where you read about this? Too much trouble for ya?

There's probably some truth to this... maybe even totally true. But I'm not taking your word for it... and I'm not going to track it down AGAIN either.

If true, then great -- one more suspicion eliminated, more time and energy to focus on real problems.

I don't think this is true.

As far as I'm concerned, Katie didn't win period... even without people knowing.

But, to be fair, closing the portal was well reported and known to the public, so they knew the deed was done even if they didn't know she was being criminally investigated for it.

But here's my (rhetorical) question: What was there to "investigate"? It was no secret that Katie did so. She admitted it and defended it. There's either a law on the books that she violated or there's not. What's to investigate?

We have a rather ironic situation developing in the Abe Hamedeh (AG) race.

Part of Abe Hamedeh's legal argument is in regards to uncounted provisional ballots for voters whose voter registration was cancelled without notice, in accordance with a new law passed to prevent voters voting in more than one county.

Marc Elias sued on behalf of Democrats who stated it was not fair to certain demographics, who were likely to be affected, and offered no recourse since the voter is not notified. His case was won at the lower level, and is now pending a hearing in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Abe Hamedeh is using the same argument in his case: Legal and legitimate voter registrations were cancelled with no notification and no recourse. A hearing is set for May 16 in Abe's case. I do not know when the appeals court will hear Marc Elias' case.

Abe lost his race by less than 300 votes to Kris Mayes. There are 1200 Election Day provisional ballots in question.


Provisional Ballot Analysis May Reverse Outcome Of Attorney General Race

And a real shocker (to me at least) is that Marc Elias has just been "fired" by the DNC --

here

April 12 (Reuters) - The Democratic National Committee will no longer be represented by longtime Democratic lawyer Marc Elias, spokespeople for his law firm and the DNC confirmed on Wednesday.

The split ends a key client relationship for Elias, one of the best-known Democratic lawyers in the U.S., that dates back to 2009. Elias has raised his profile through legal work on behalf of major national clients like the DNC, and the committee is influential in U.S. politics.

Uh oh!!!


Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias, DCCC hit with FEC complaint alleging $5M in bogus billing

Poetic justice. Why would anyone think that the guy who will cheat for you won't cheat YOU???

In their 23-page decision, the arbitrators said Zeidman proved that Lindell’s material “unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 election data.” They directed Lindell’s firm to pay Zeidman within 30 days.

Zeidman voted for trump twice - the irony.

😂

I love all the winning!

Lots more going re Katie --

Abe Hamedeh Twitter --

And earlier this month, Hobbs learned Judge Jantzen of Mohave County will hear arguments related to allegations Hobbs improperly withheld evidence from the judge during Abe Hamadeh’s election challenge trial against Mayes back in December.

Katie also ranked #47 nationwide in the latest Governor approval poll... I believe 47% was also her (un)favorability rating.

The fake electors in Georgia are turning on each other. Popcorn time!

We share sources and links here.

Also, election integrity in Georgia is a joke.

It's sickening when everyone at the top is corrupt and protects each other. If that proves to be the case at the national level, American leadership will be removed and replaced forcefully by the owners of the United States.

Thank-you for the additional information. There is so much going on in Arizona regarding the 2022 election. And maybe even some 2020 lawsuits still in play. We need CLOSURE...the finish line.

Hmmmmm.... AZ Senator Wendy Rogers has been granted a restraining order against a reporter, Camryn Sanchez. I cannot find any article about the court granting the restraining order that's not behind a paywall. I did find this --

Rogers asks court to bar reporter from contacting her

Rogers, R-Flagstaff, filed a petition for an injunction against harassment yesterday in Flagstaff Justice Court asking the court to bar Arizona Capitol Times Senate reporter Camryn Sanchez from entering the Arizona Senate building.

The court ordered Sanchez to not contact Rogers at her residence.

Sanchez was in the process of investigating whether Rogers lives in Flagstaff or other homes she has owned outside of her district in Maricopa County. The investigation included an examination of publicly available property records that show Rogers and her husband bought a home in Chandler in January and signed a trust document that said she resides in Tempe.

ETA: The source article is also the reporter's employer -- AZ Capitol Times.

Rogers stated that her neighbors were also harassed by this reporter, presumably she was questioning the neighbors about how often Rogers is actually in residence at her Flagstaff home. A statement from Rogers has been posted on Twitter.

I have no idea what the truth is here. But I don't think it's unusual for legislators who live outside the capitol to have a second residence in Maricopa County... they need to stay somewhere while the legislatures are in session. Flagstaff (where Rogers has a residence) is about a 3-hour drive when traffic is good. It isn't unusual for Flagstaff to get snowed in during winter either. It isn't practical or reasonable to expect a legislator to commute 6-hours round trip on a daily basis.

New poll from Rasmussen:

Election Integrity: Most Voters Suspect Fraud

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 60% of Likely U.S. voters think it is likely that cheating affected the outcomes of some races in last year’s midterm elections, including 37% who say it’s Very Likely. Thirty-five percent (35%) don’t believe it’s likely the 2022 midterms were affected by cheating, including 20% who think it’s Not At All Likely.

The rest of Rasmussen's report is behind a paywall.

Gateway Pundit expands on it though --

*40% say it’s important to prevent election cheating
*50% say Mail-in voting makes it easier to cheat
*48% say cheating affected some 2022 races
*50% say state & election officials are ignoring widespread evidence of election fraud

And all of these responses are from Democrats.

HUGE: Rasmussen Poll Reveals a Majority of Americans (60%) Believe that Recent Elections Were Affected by Cheating

Speaking for myself, I don't believe it's possible for anyone paying attention -- actually looking at the claims and the evidence and the hard facts -- to NOT see cheating and dirty tricks affecting elections. I do believe there are people not paying attention, not doing their own due diligence, who therefore don't see cheating. I also believe that there are people who know damn well there was cheating but refuse to acknowledge it because they like it. BAMN!!!

Baby steps --
Judge sides against Mayes on Cochise County election administrator

A judge rejected a request from Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes to block the Cochise County Board of Supervisors from handing over its election administration to the elected county recorder.

On Tuesday, Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink turned aside Mayes’ request for an injunction blocking the February agreement from being implemented. Mayes had argued in her lawsuit that the board illegally delegated its oversight of elections to Recorder David Stevens.

But Fink said the agreement the board signed gives it sufficient oversight to meet the law’s requirements, including regular reports from Stevens to the board and its ability to overturn any decisions it finds objectionable.

Cochise County was one of those that Hobbs and/or Mayes threatened to arrest and prosecute if they did not certify the election results... results they deemed uncertifiable. If I recall correctly, one of the three Supervisors refused to show up for the vote, with the other two voting to certify the results.

It's a small win in the big picture. But it's a win!!!

This isn't directly related to election integrity specifically, but I do believe the same tactic is being employed by the Feds --

Smash Mouth: Hunter Biden Lawyer Accuses IRS Whistleblower of Committing Felony by Disclosing “Information About an Ongoing Tax Investigation”

Specifically, I suspect that the Feds have hijacked any and all election integrity investigations at the state and local levels by invoking "national security," based upon the accusations of foreign involvement. From Mike Lindell's claims to the bamboo fibers in AZ. Once they've assumed jurisdiction, not only must local investigations cease, the Fed's investigation becomes "classified" and no one can talk about it or report on it.

And the Feds do nothing except hide the truth.
