9. Cindy McCain's tweet is actually part of a coordinated cover-your-ass campaign happening in AZ

Thanks for posting Jersey Devil. Do you have the link to her original post? I heard people went off in the replies on her fake "naivete."

Given the widespread voter suppression tactics that Republicans have been pushing for years here in Arizona and the circles that she runs in, there is pretty much 0% chance that she was unaware of this going on.

Word on the ground is that the tweet is part of the current Republican cover-your-ass campaign going on in Arizona to now try to somehow paint this as something the Democrats have caused, which is, of course, hilarious given which party has written all the state laws that have not only caused this fiasco but have been upheld by Arizona Republican judges.

Republicans are gunning hard right now at Fontes, Maricopa County's Democratic County Recorder, so as to set up more legal challenges with Maricopa's vote totals. This is the first time they've had to contend with a Dem county recorder in Maricopa and they are not happy about it at all.

Make no mistake about it, Cindy McCain's tweet is actually part of the first round of a campaign to oust Fontes in the next election.
