National News See other National News Articles Title: Democrats ignore the Hawaii precedentFor Az Indictments) Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 🚨🚨BREAKING: Arizona's Democrat Attorney General, Kris Mayes, who received just 280 votes more than her Republican opponent, is pursuing radical and unprecedented criminal charges against seven attorneys for Donald Trump over efforts to contest the 2020 presidential election in Arizona. She’s charging Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Boris Ephsteyn and Mike Roman, as well as Arizona's 11 Republican electors. Those electors include my colleague and friend Tyler Bowyer, the National Committeeman for AZ and head of Turning Point Action. What are the charges for? For trying to follow the law, and following a precedent created by Democrats. In 1960, in the race between Kennedy and Nixon, Hawaii was very closely contested. While Hawaii certified Nixon as the winner of the state’s electoral votes, Democrats claimed otherwise. They assembled their own slate of electors and submitted their votes to DC to be counted while the state worked out the contest in the courts. Importantly, this worked. After initially cerifying Nixon's electors, Hawaii’s recount concluded that Kennedy had won the state by just 150 votes. The state’s governor retracted the Nixon certification, and submitted a new one in favor of Kennedy. Kennedy votes were ONLY counted because the Kennedy electors acted BEFORE the courts had ruled. Here’s a quote from Politico when they wrote about this dispute: “Judge Ronald Jamieson agreed that the certified Kennedy electors were legitimate. But, more significantly, Jamieson said it was important that those electors met and gathered on Dec. 19, 1960, as prescribed by the Electoral Count Act. Rather than suggest the Democratic electors committed fraud, the judge pointed to their meeting as a key step that preserved their ability to be counted after the recount showed Kennedy had actually won the state.” The Arizona Trump electors were doing what they thought was a legally necessary step as part of a wider political and electoral dispute. They acted in the belief that Donald Trump was the true winner of Arizona in the 2020 election. They engaged in no fraud and no deception. In fact, they literally published a press release explaining what they were doing! These indictments, and this entire investigation, are a sinister effort to criminalize pursuing all legal and constitutional avenues for contesting a disputed election. AG Mayes and her national Democrat handlers want to criminalize and punish political dissent. Democrats have once again turned the justice system into their weapon for targeting political opponents. They are doing this because they have no accomplishments to run on in 2024 and are terrified of losing power, and see no option available except for jailing their opponents like some tinpot Third World dictatorship. I sincerely hope they pay for overplaying their hand in Arizona and beyond. We stand by Tyler Bowyer, and everyone else. They did nothing wrong. We will win. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
