Why do we bother having elections? Just do some fundraising. Whoever collects the most money wins the election. Save a lot of time. No chance of election fraud (although there would be a chance of fundraising fraud).

While most sane people decry the influence of big money on our elections, this is hardly the first election where the biggest fundraiser lost an election.

Don't you know that the evil, socialist democrats conspired with Smartmatic and Dominion to throw the election to a weaker republican, who would be easier to defeat in the general election? The dems are terrified that Ms. Peters would expose their theft of the 2020 election.

Isn't that what got Aaron Burr in trouble? (Although I suppose you could argue that it was more trouble for Alexander Hamilton).

Tina Peters, the MAGA-obsessed, conspiratorial Colorado county clerk who has been indicted on 10 criminal charges, just had to go to Vegas.

The trip, however, has cost her. The Colorado Sun reported Thursday that a judge issued a warrant for Peters’ arrest after she traveled outside of her home state without notifying the court, thereby violating the terms of her bond.

Yet the lure of Vegas was apparently too strong. The following day, Peters spoke at a convention in Sin City for the right-wing Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association without court approval.

Now, with a judge issuing a warrant for her arrest, insisting that she be jailed until her next hearing, and revoking her $25,000 cash bond, Peters is likely to be more confined than ever before.
