@FSociety_1942 All night long, the "news" had the results before the SOS updates. The only way I can describe what I saw/captured was a shuffling of votes, feathering of results throughout. Very Bizarre. Updates by candidate only, etc. Below is just one sample.
Heap took office Jan 1, 2025. Board tried to strip his powers via a shady pre-inauguration deal. He sued and won big on April 17 — court confirmed he has sole statutory authority over drop boxes. Now he’s enforcing the law the Board ignored for months. That’s not chaos, that’s accountability.
Calling a detailed legal letter citing statutes and a recent court ruling a 'threat' is overheated rhetoric. Rogers laid out Arizona law post-April ruling: early ballot drop boxes fall under the Recorder's authority over early voting locations (A.R.S. § 16-542). The Board has its own duties, but ignoring the ruling + EPM conflicts risks real legal exposure for everyone involved.
The Board is having a full meltdown because I objected to a resolution unlawfully giving themselves control over ballot drop boxes and declined to appear for a surprise public interrogation on less than an hour's notice.
The Court has already ruled that the Board does not have unlimited authority over elections, yet it continues attempting to exercise powers Arizona law assigns to the Recorder. Voters deserve lawful election administration, not political stunts and last-minute public ambushes.
Interestingly, with 11 Counties still yet to report - totalling 142K EARLY votes alone, 102K Dem, 37K Rep, and 2K Ind. Fulton 123K (see breakdown). Races and run-offs are being called. Currently, early voting and election day voting are about 50/50. So I'm expecting around 300K yet to come. Hmmmm.
Fulton County election officials say the county will not release any results until voting ends at its last open polling place. A judge has extended the voting hours at a Sandy Springs polling location that went into a "soft lockdown" for hours over nearby police activity. CBS News’ @SkylerHenry is in Georgia with the latest on the races in the state. https://t.co/AJpppH5OX0
Food for thought on Gov Polis' clemency of Tina Peters.
First priority was getting Tina out of prison. That is scheduled to happen on June 1. I and many others are EXTREMELY happy about that.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Polis did not pardon Tina of her offenses. He only cut her sentencing in half making her eligible for parole.
Power now shifts to the CO Parole Board...not Gov Polis, not CO SoS Griswold, and not the rabid Dems in the legislature. The Parole Board consists of nine members appointed by the Governor and ostensibly confirmed by the Senate. The entire Parole Board consists of Polis appointees.
The Parole Board's authority over Peters is substantial and largely unchecked:
- It conducts parole application interviews where a single member sets the specific conditions of parole
- It monitors compliance through Community Parole Officers (CPOs) who report violations
- It holds revocation hearings and can send a parolee back to prison for violations of any parole condition — not just new crimes
-For violations short of a new crime, the Board can revoke parole and impose up to 180 days in confinement, or full revocation to complete the remaining sentence
In other words, the Parole Board could impose the following parole conditions:
- Prohibition on involvement in election administration
- Prohibition on association with co-defendants
- Restriction on accessing voting systems or government computer systems
- Restriction on activities "related to the offense" — this is the broadest and most dangerous condition; depending on how it is written, it could potentially be interpreted to restrict election integrity advocacy, testimony, or organizing if connected to her criminal conduct
There is a legal line the board members are not supposed to cross, however, regarding speech protected under the First Amendment.
So, the next major milestone prior to Tina's release involves the establishment of the conditions for Tina's parole by the CO Parole Board.
We need to pray that Tina's rights are not further constrained beyond what the State of CO has done to her already.
In the meantime, we are thankful that Tina will FINALLY be released from prision.
P.S. The next CO Governor election is November 3, 2026. I encourage the residents of CO to ask candidates to issue a full pardon of Tina in light of the fact that she preserved election records under the requirements of federal law. Might wanna skip the Dem candidates considering their public positions on the matter ;)

Through a public records request, ABC15 has learned that Maricopa County election officials signed an agreement with Homeland Security to access a federal database to check the citizenship of voters back in August. #abc15 https://t.co/xUFVsP7TqT
Today, the Superior Court denied the Board’s Motion to Stay.
The law is clear. The Court has been clear. My office stands ready to move forward, comply with the Court’s orders, and prepare for secure and orderly elections in Maricopa County.
The Board's endless campaign of obstruction is not leadership. It is a reckless attempt to preserve control the Board was never legally entitled to exercise.
There are sooooooo many things wrong with Fulton. but we have to be extremely careful/accurate for what is being reported. On the MORNING of the election the county had already reported by many news outlets that 144,000 absentee ballots being received. This was BEFORE polls closing and election night reporting. Rick Barron made it clear that this number did not include the day's drop off/post or UOCAVA that had until the Friday to submit (= 4K). They have up to 30 days post certification to "reconcile". Fulton stopped updating files for returned ballots from the 30th October for no reason whatsoever. We just have to "assume" when those extra 22K ballots came in.
