Iowa state Sen. Joni Ernst (R) this week requested materials on recount procedures, signaling that she might be gearing up for a recount request in the Iowa Senate race against Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA).
Ernst filed open records requests in multiple counties for training materials, satellite voting locations, names of ballot counters, recount procedures and any thing also sent to Braley, The Gazette reported.
Such a large record request so close to an election is unusual for candidates, multiple Iowa auditors told The Gazette.
"I think they’re gearing up for a recount," Johnson County Auditor Travis Weipert said.
Okay well there are two ways to take this.
One is that the Ernst campaign is thinking proactively with an abundance of caution.
Or that they expect to lose and like many recent GOP candidates will simply refuse to accept defeat until they have exhausted all possible challenges?
Yeah I am going to go with the latter.
Auto-correct: please go away.
ReplyDelete"I'll go with the latter."
I think you mean "latter" (and I agree with you).
ReplyDelete:)
She is an insecure idiot. Cya for when she comes in second place.
ReplyDeleteI have said it before .She is prime example of setting the bar too low. She should just walk away now,to save face. Why the long face Joni?
Cause she is gonna lose!
ReplyDeleteLadder? Are you eloping? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLike most Republicans, she is a very poor loser.
ReplyDeleteTranscribing Palinspeak probably messes up your autocorrect!
ReplyDelete"the ladder".
lol
maybe "the latter"?
Where are you taking that ladder?
ReplyDeleteI think you mean latter.
Where are you going with that ladder, Gryph? Are you painting? Is it a two stepper or three?
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Occam's razor: It's because she knows she's already fucked.
ReplyDeleteI think you mean latter.
ReplyDeleteGo with the latter instead Uncle Gryph :) <<>>
ReplyDeleteReal Clear Politics has this Koch addled T-Bagging menace ahead. The rural ignorati think she will work for them. Gag!
ReplyDeleteCan raise much more money after she loses- look for vote fraud, pull a Bush-Florida recount etc.
ReplyDeleteI am too. This politician is as clueless as they come and like Palin as deluded. But, like Palin she will keep her PAC going and paying her bills for as long as she can.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she also cancelled her meeting with the Des Moines paper's editorial board at the last minute. They had been critical of her social and economic policies, she blames it on tying to reach as many undecideds as possible. This woman is a bigger pig than the ones she castrates.
ReplyDeleteHer "twin" here in Oregon, Monica "the stalker" Wehby is going to lose big time.
Speaking of Ernst friend:

God I hope she loses big.
ReplyDeleteThey expect to lose and they're preparing like the other candidate whon palin "supported," who went to a hospice to take picture of a dying woman...It so smells like palin. et.al. KKKlan
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Gryph. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's even more interesting is that she cancelled her interviews with newspaper editorial boards, which are pretty crucial in who will get their endorsements. They tend not to take the snubs lightly. She's also apparently gone into seclusion so as not to answer any questions regarding her father's contracts while she was county administrator, or the recently exposed video touting her views on the 2nd Amendment.
ReplyDeleteO/T but this is good stuff to know to counteract the media narrative on PBO. Why aren't we hearing about all this? Why aren't the Dems screaming this from the rooftops? WTF???

Good to keep in mind when talking to people about the midterms and why it is SO FUCKING IMPORTANT to keep the Senate in the Democrats' hands. PBO needs that Senate to finish his stunning presidency. VOTE!

Chris Christie Advocates For Election Rigging By Republicans Controlling The “Voting Mechanism”
ReplyDelete...Christie’s call for Republican governors to “control the voting mechanism,” an overt call for increasing Republican voter disenfranchisement, comports with his outrage a couple of months ago over another Republican state, Illinois, because they simplified the voting process that Christie said was “shocking, underhanded, a dirty trick,” and “a major obstacle for the GOP’s’ gubernatorial candidates.” For the record, the Illinois law was enacted by a “bipartisan” election commission, and likely it contributed to Christie’s demand that Republican governors are given a freer hand to “control the voting mechanisms” in their states; particularly in preparation for the 2016 general election.
Christie’s blatant support for Republican governors overseeing voting restrictions is not unique among Republicans who have no qualms advertising their anti-democracy agenda.

Loser Erst. She knows she's losing. & In Palin's OWN words "We're going down" HAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, poor widdle WHITE MEN. ReGreta feels the need to cry victim for them:
ReplyDeleteFox News anchor Greta Van Susteren sees an injustice going on this campaign season ahead of the November midterm elections. White men, as a whole, aren’t getting a fair shake.
http://www.mediaite.com/online/foxs-greta-van-susteren-on-white-men-give-them-a-break/
Someone needs to remind her that it's WHITE MEN who have done more to fuck up this country than any other group. That it's WHITE MEN who are extreme, misogynistic, racist, Homophobic, Islamophobic, violent and stupid. Not ALL white men, of course, but the white men who are in leadership positions in Congress, and the white men who have destroyed so many good things in this country. It's white men who enslave. It's white men freaking out because the white majority is quickly disappearing and they are losing their perceived power to dominate and suppress others.
And, for the record, I'm white.
Did you all have fun with my typo?
ReplyDeleteI swear it is always on the day that you are planning to go to the movies that you mix up "ladder" with "latter."
Fixed now.
I know I did!

I had just listened to some of the Palin clips from the beatdown. I spent several minutes on your new post trying to figure out what a ladder had to do with it. Collateral brain damage.
DeleteJoni Ernst will do whatever the Koch brothers tell her to do. Just like Sarah does. Just like any paid whore does.
ReplyDeleteDamn her hair looks like the old mans on Pawn Stars.
ReplyDeleteyou're right. She's mannish looking. Although now she has makeup.
DeleteWho is paying for this? I hope it isn't the taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteShe's an accountant pig cast rater, sometimes one or both testes don't descend so she's got to find the damn pig again and dig them out with a melon baller. My apologies to anyone eating sweedish meatballz.
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside, she's getting ready cause the gap is getting too close for comfort. She needs another shot of Palin endorsin', that'll fix her.
