1. Britzius should have charged Armstrong and Rees. Britzius doesn't seem to like to do difficult or uncomfortable things when it comes to privileged folks. He saves his "tough love" for the poor folks.

2. I would have liked to have seen a quote from Ken Chestek about the long-term trajectory of HD13, especially since there was a quote highlighting the GOP's ambition for taking over that district. It would be a big loss for what's left of the Democrats if it were to fall that way.

Why sanction, charge or even slap a wrist on intentionally disruptive allegations that were false and misleading... obviously successful republican plan for the trump era maga machine .

Sad for all of us in a diminishing democratic republic in danger of permanent damage!

Jeff's blogging is biased and misleading, as usual. These were not "Republican efforts," as falsely stated in the headline; they were individual efforts. The party did not support or sanction them. It is also worth noting that Democrats around the US are asking for recounts and claiming fraud in areas where they were surprised that Trump or other Republicans won. But Jeff doesn't note this due to his partisan bias.

Also, whether or not it was technically legal in this case, NO candidate should EVER be an election judge. Period. Even if there is no wrongdoing, there is an appearance of impropriety that those wishing to cast doubt on the electoral process will exploit.

Not charging based on the law worked out really well in the results of the 2024 presidential election. Nothing will be learned.
