Republicans Say Election Fraud Theories Made GOP Voters Stay Home In New Mexico Special Election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Republican Party of New Mexico blamed GOP congressional candidate Mark Moores’ loss in a Tuesday special election on “low voter turnout” sparked by “angry” Republican voters who “questioned election integrity,” in an email sent on Thursday.

If that were true, the party would only have themselves to blame.

After the 2020 election, the state GOP echoed former President Donald Trump’s lies about widespread voter fraud after the election. State party leaders also claimed that Trump lost New Mexico by nearly 11% solely due to fraud. (There was no widespread voter fraud in New Mexico or any other state.)

They claimed, incorrectly, that votes appeared out of nowhere and that Republican observers were not allowed to watch post-election canvasses. Neither of these were true. The party sued to invalidate the state’s results after state electors voted for Biden, the winner of the state’s popular vote, on Dec. 14. The lawsuit was dismissed.

1. so maybe telling all your voters that elections are hopeless because of fraud

because the entire point of your party is to protect drumpf's ego ISN'T a good idea?

6. Who da thunk it?

Loved that Lin Wood‘s message in Georgia (and Stacey Abrams’ hard work) pushed us over the top in the Senate. Hoping to convince Trumpers not to waste their time at the ballot since it’s rigged, and not contribute $ to the treasonous Republican never Trumpers. All $ should go directly to the Donald, please consider taking out a second mortgage on your trailer for your contribution.

7. Not if the GOP Election Rigging Department does their job. I automatically assume GOP election fraud

will happen wherever they can pull it off.

4. They want that to be the case....but maybe the not Trumpers are breaking to Democrats.

Perhaps voters are realizing what the GOP endgame is and they don't like it.
