My bad. Bad post to lead with.

Anywho. Sounds like a republican election clerk Tina Peters and her aide allowed unauthorized access to the Mesa county election system, had security cameras cut because they knew what they were doing was wrong, and compromised election security with information gained from them allowing unauthorized access posted on a right wing blog.

Show me where both sides do it on this one?

Future elections very well may be rigged and it is because of MAGA folks like this.

This is disturbing in part because of the concerted effort underway in states like AZ, GA and MI to replace low level election functionaries,
who have shown themselves neutral or law abiding, with others who are more willing to insure that the next election is not "stolen." 

Bill Maher is right--we appear to be in the midst of a "slow moving coup."

Conservative radio host Charlie Sykes totes up five reasons for agreeing:

1. Many of Trump's fans are supporting it. Top right-wing media outlets are amplifying the messages, with countless segments about supposed voter fraud and constant appeals to the MAGA base's biggest fears. This coverage sometimes looks backward to 2020 but it mostly looks ahead to future elections, softening the ground for future assaults on the rule of law.
   
2. Key lawmakers are giving cover to it. On "Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace," the No. 2 House Republican, Rep. Steve Scalise, repeatedly refused "to acknowledge the legitimacy of the vote, instead sticking to his belief that the election results should not have been certified by Congress," The AP's Hope Yen reported. Historians are able to see what might be coming. On "Face the Nation," foreign policy expert and Trump impeachment witness Fiona Hill told Margaret Brennan said that the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol may have been just "a dress rehearsal for something that could be happening near term, in 2022, and 2024."
   
3. Immigrants are able to draw from past experiences. When Brennan asked Hill how to respond to riot deniers, Hill said, "All of the people I know who are immigrants are looking around and saying, 'Can't people see this?' We have come from war-torn societies. All of the hallmarks are here. Perhaps Americans should talk to some of their neighbors who came from somewhere else, who came to the United States to flee just this kind of occurrence and have them tell them what their personal experience was."
   
4. Viewers are able to hear Trump's doublespeak. He continues to call Nov. 3, 2020, a/k/a election day, the "real insurrection," which is a mind-blowing example of doublespeak. At his rally on Saturday night, he called the Jan. 6 committee probe "the left's new obsession." Much of his rhetoric is forward-looking, focused on "saving" America.
   
5. Readers are able to see a coverup of the past. Trump allies with key knowledge about Jan. 6 continue to resist efforts to reveal what they know about the lead-up to the attack.
