  1. So more of the same “if you can’t win, cheat” method.

    If they invested the same energy in actually listening to voters as they did trying to hang onto power even when the majority rejects them, they’d be unstoppable.

  2. Republicans are not into that whole “democracy” thing.

  3. They’re back at their old ways. These cis privileged old white men don’t know how to leave our bodies alone 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦

  4. “Republicans Are Using Dirty Tricks to…” is an evergreen beginning of a headline

  5. Republicans hate democracy can be the headline from now until the sun goes dark.

  6. “To get on the ballot in Arizona — a critical swing state in 2024 — canvassers must collect at least 370,000 valid signatures. But the rules are strict: if a single signature on a page of 15 is invalid, the entire page is thrown out. Anti-abortion activists have taken advantage of the rules to try to counteract the pro-choice organizers collection efforts.

    Amy Fitch-Heacock with Arizonans for Reproductive Freedom says she has witnessed protesters “take the petition, pretend that they are signing, but they will use false information: a fake name, fake address, or they will scribble and go outside of the lines” — setting canvassers back 15 signatures at a time.”

  7. Not only because they know they’ll lose such ballot questions, but because the very presence of such ballot questions drives higher voter turnout, which they famously oppose. It’s a twofer.

  8. my pearl necklace, i hearby clutch them.

    /is it “pearl necklace” or just plain “pearls”? it’s been a while since i’ve clutched them.

  9. Typical Christian behavior. If you cant win, steal.

  10. Republicans and dirty tricks…since at least Tricky Dicky Nixon, who sabotaged LBJ’s negotiations to end the Viet Nam war. Reagan dealing with the Iranians. Bush II lying us into war. Republican fuckery has a long and inglorious history.
