Examples of GOP Leadership

Majority of Republicans think state reviews will change 2020 outcome: poll
A slight majority of Republican voters say that state-level reviews of the 2020 presidential election will uncover information that will reverse the outcome of the race, according to a new Morning Consult-Politico poll.

A majority of Republicans in the poll, 51 percent, indicated they think reviews of the 2020 election will change its outcome, including 29 percent who "definitely" think it will change the outcome and 22 percent who think it "probably" will change the results.

Overall, the poll found that roughly three-quarters of GOP voters — 74 percent — support state-level efforts to review and examine the 2020 election. In Arizona, for instance, the state Senate has for months been conducting a hand recount and audit of the vote in the state’s largest county.

Another Morning Consult poll released earlier this month found that roughly 3 in 10 Republicans believe that it is at least somewhat likely that Trump will be reinstated as president, even though such an outcome is impossible.

Door knockers asking how people voted falsely claim to represent Arizona county
A group of individuals are going door-to-door in an Arizona county falsely claiming they represent local election officials, and asking residents how they voted in the 2020 elections, according to a report from The Arizona Republic.

Speaking to the newspaper, Yavapai County Recorder Leslie Hoffman said she was concerned that there were people claiming to represent her office, and could be collecting information that results in identity theft.

Hoffman said she was unsure if these individuals were working on behalf of a political organization.

“I don’t want some of our more vulnerable residents giving information and thinking they’re giving it to the recorder’s office,” Hoffman told the newspaper.

Former Republican Arizona political candidate Liz Harris said this week that she had organized canvassers to go door-to-door, the Republic reported. Harris initially told the newspaper that the canvassers were involved in the Arizona state Senate's election audit, but later said she could not confirm if she was.

"I pretty much know what's happening," Harris said in a video on social media responding to the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office advisory. “There are canvassers, some within the group I’m heading up and some outside the group."

Texas governor signs ban on outside help for election administrators
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has signed new legislation that would bar local election administrators from accepting outside grants to help run their offices, the latest in a rush of Republican states banning nonprofits from helping to cover budget gaps in chronically underfunded local offices.

The bill, passed at the end of May before House Democrats walked out of the state capitol to block a more wide-reaching overhaul of voting rules, prevents a county election commission or board from accepting contributions offered by private individuals, corporations or any other third-party group, including nonprofits. It also bars those boards from spending money that has not been appropriated by local county elected officials.

The bill is a direct response to funding grants made by groups like the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, the physician Priscilla Chan. That group made more than 2,500 grants to election offices across the country in the run-up to November’s elections.

Conservatives who have moved to block future grants say they want to preserve the integrity of local elections. In an interview in April, Texas state Sen. Bryan Hughes (R) explained why he included a similar provision in his broader overhaul of election and voting rules.

In a statement celebrating Abbott’s signature, the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation went farther, alleging the grants were used for partisan ends to aid Democratic candidates.

“The so-called donations were simply an attempt to use local governments as a cloak to cover partisan get-out-the-vote efforts,” Chad Ennis, senior fellow for the Foundation’s Election Protection Project, said in a statement.

One hundred sixteen of Texas’s 254 counties applied for and received grants from the Center for Tech and Civic Life in 2020. Former President Trump carried 232 of those 254 counties, including the vast majority of counties that received grants last year.

And no doubt a staunch supporter of Trump...

As they say, when someone wants to show you who they are...let them.

Could you imagine a congressman disrespecting a first responder to 9/11 like that?

A lot has changed in 20 years.

Ex-Colorado GOP chair accused of stealing more than $250K from pro-Trump PAC
The former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party is being accused of stealing more than $250,000 from a political action committee that supported former President Trump.

A disciplinary complaint says Ryan Call stole almost $280,000 while he was the PAC’s treasurer for three years, Colorado Newsline reported.

The complaint, filed June 2, alleges that Call "knowingly misappropriated" funds for the PAC.

“Respondent knowingly misappropriated $278,169.45 from (Rebuilding America Now),” the complaint says. “Specifically, he transferred $278,169.45 of RAN funds to himself, knowing that the funds belonged to RAN, and knowing that he was not entitled to the funds and that RAN had not authorized him to take the funds for his own purposes.

Call allegedly transferred the money to himself in 37 different transactions between September 2016 and January 2019.
