We need real Law'n Order

Post by Burning Petard »

Stop the Crime Wave! This has to be a prime example of the Trumpista 'Oh Look! a Squirrel!'

from the NY Times, by way of Yahoo News:

Reid J. Epstein and Nick Corasaniti

The Florida Legislature last week created a law enforcement agency — informally called the election police — to tackle what Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republicans have declared an urgent problem: the roughly 0.000677% of voters suspected of committing voter fraud.

0.000677% ! Tell me, is there ANY other political activity or program that has documented a lower rate of fraud or financial mis-conduct?

But that's 677 people! Dammit they must be stopped from this life of crime and unfairly destroying democracy
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Ironically, it looks most likely to catch Republicans, who appear to be the ones committing voter fraud in Florida:

They are apparently following the Barney Fife Method of Law Enforcement, and they intend to "Nip It In The Bud"®.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I think they want a special "election police" force staffed entirely by Republicans, so they can ignore the Republicans and hunt for Democrats.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

I think we have here a variation on the Dick Cheney Rule: If Americans do it, it ain't torture.

If Tumpers do it, it ain't fraud.

About 11 million people voted in Florida in 2020. 0.000677% is about 75 people.
