@jj-adams saidHahaha you’ve never heard Lake spewing forth her her bat💩 crazy lies have ya!
Hobbs was afraid to debate Lake because she knew she would be destroyed.
Hobbs needn't have worried, look at what a disaster Fetterman was in his debate, but the brain-dead Democrat zombies still voted for him.
The electorate would been well aware of both their views and platforms and like everywhere else the Trumpian Qanon election denying candidate got rejected in every battleground state for state level positions.
Thus shall it be in 2024 if you lot are stupid enough to still be flogging them dead horses.

@no1marauder saidWhere is this happening?
"Because of it"
Voter suppression of some sort is a preferred right wing strategy now as you well know.
@jj-adams saidAll over the South since the SCOTUS eviscerated the Voting Rights Acts:
Where is this happening?
"Eight years ago, in the disastrous Shelby County v. Holder decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a significant provision of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and opened the floodgates for the voter suppression legislation and procedures prevalent in states today. The Supreme Court essentially nullified the provision of the VRA that required jurisdictions with a history of voting discrimination to get federal approval before new voting laws could be implemented.
The very day of the decision, Texas chose to implement its voter ID law, which had been previously found to be discriminatory. Since then, many states have followed Texas’ example by enacting laws that have made it harder for voters, particularly voters of color, to access the ballot box.
Over the past eight years, state legislatures, particularly the states that previously had to submit voting changes for preclearance review, have focused on passing laws making it harder to vote or enacting processes that:
Require voter ID where voters had limited options of the type of IDs they could use to vote;
Make it harder to get on or stay on voter registration rolls;
Consolidate or close polling places with little or no notice to voters; or
Make it easier to remove voters from voter rolls.
In 2016, the Fourth Circuit determined that North Carolina’s omnibus voter suppression law passed a month after the Shelby County decision was enacted to “target African Americans with surgical precision.” Despite courts finding that certain laws make it harder for minority voters to cast a ballot, state legislatures are doubling down and insisting on passing laws that make it harder to vote.
Disturbingly, in response to unprecedented voter turnout in 2020, states such as Georgia, Florida, and Texas, all are states with a history of voting discrimination, have passed or are considering laws that will make it harder to vote. Georgia’s SB 202 not only makes it harder to vote, but it also criminalizes voter assistance. Florida’s SB 90 makes it more difficult to vote by mail and receive voter assistance. And Texas is currently considering SB 7, which takes away the power of local elections to make voting more accessible, limits Sunday early voting by targeting get out the vote initiatives such as “Souls to the Polls” used by Black voters, and it makes it harder for voters with disabilities or those who need language assistance to get that assistance by imposing harsh penalties on those who would provide it.

Stop pretending you don't know and approve of this.
@jj-adams saidDon't be ridiculous:
So how many people have claimed they haven't been able to vote?
Let me guess:
ZERO
"Thousands of Texans who attempted to vote by mail in the March primary were disenfranchised in the state's first election conducted under a new Republican voting law. The state’s largest counties saw a significant spike in the rates of rejected mail-in ballots, most because they did not meet the new, stricter ID requirements.
Local ballot review boards met this week to finalize mail-in ballot rejections, throwing out 18,742 mail-in ballots in just 16 of the state’s 20 counties with the most registered voters. That includes Harris County, the state's largest county, where 6,919 ballots were scrapped — all but 31 of them because of the new ID requirements. The final statewide count for rejected ballots is still unknown; counties are still reporting numbers to the Texas secretary of state’s office.
The rates of rejections range from 6% to nearly 22% in Bexar County, where almost 4,000 of the more than 18,000 people who returned mail-in ballots saw their votes discarded. In most cases, ballots were rejected for failing to comply with tighter voting rules enacted by Republicans last year that require voters to provide their driver’s license number or a partial Social Security number to vote by mail, according to rejection data collected by The Texas Tribune."

That's just one example; it is a particularly stupid requirement that in no way discourages fraud (if anything it encourages it; most States have a signature match requirement which is much more difficult to circumvent than merely sticking a number on an envelope).

Have you ever seen this speech by Kari on the TV news media?
I have not. I only have free TV, so I suppose Tucker or someone else may have aired it, but if so I have not seen it on TV.
