Stunts like what? You’ve got a Republican appointed official in charge whose boss is a Republican. Let ‘em count the votes. Already Republican rioters are gathering to try and intimidate folks into not counting the votes. Amazing how often you guys are against counting the votes.

Yup. The headline sums it up:

Right-wing media claim Democrats are trying to “steal” Florida elections by insisting all votes be counted.

Lovely.

Florida officials are now saying that nearly 200,000 registered voters may not be U.S. citizens.

But of course. I forget what thread, but I seem to remember Kevin and others passionately insisting that the left has no intention whatsoever of having illegals vote in elections, *pinky swear* Something something, that's right wing conspiracy theory, something, something. SMH.

The tweet you quote simply notes that an objection was made to rejecting a vote on the grounds that the person was said not to be a US citizen.

We are not told whether the objection is to:

(a) Not counting the vote of someone whom the objector agrees is not a citizen (which would be completely pointless, since the law is quite clear on that point),

or

(b) Classifying the person in question as not being a US citizen. That, depending on the circumstances (which we do not know) might be a perfectly proper objection to the claim of fact on which the rejection was based.

You linked to a story from 2012. The story itself was updated to show that, out of 12 million registered voters, only 85 were confirmed as noncitizens and were removed from the rolls. Not 200,000 — 85. Do you ever actually read what you link to?

LOL. I believe this is not close to the first time WD has been caught doing this and then just disappears from a thread. What this tells most people who are a little open minded is that WD is more interested in believing and promoting far right conspiracy theories then wanting to learn the truth. People like RI on the other hand have shown through many threads a lot more willingness to change their opinion if someone shows good evidence their opinion is wrong. It's not a surprise who ends up having more credibility.

Water Dog wrote:Yep, another example of Democrats lying and cheating. Did you actually listen to the audio in the video? They explained that this "Proud Boys" group was attending an event over there. The reporting about antifa was accurate. They did engage in vandalism. They did leave a threatening note. And there was a skirmish between them an the "proud boys" members, instigated by antifa.
Old topic, but it turns out there's video showing the Proud Boys initiated the attack against protestors, not the other way around as claimed in this thread:

Nothing like instinctively defending a violent hate group who just got done joyfully reenacting an assassination because you perceive them as on your side.
