Attempt to censure Romney for impeachment vote fails

And let's not forget TWO SOLID MONTHS of outright lies ("election fraud" and INCITEFUL LANGUAGE in both speeches and tweets prior to Jan 6. He was assembling the logs for a bonfire and all it took was for someone, including himself, to hand the matches to the rioters on Jan 6.

Exactly but trumpists don't care much for the details. Mitt was completely justified in voting to impeach and the fact is Trump only saved by those with no courage or convictions.
 
She was reelected twice. In 2010 and 2016. The 2010 election was rampant with election fraud, which is why she won as a write-in candidate since she could not run as a Republican. When you get 400 ballots from a village with only 120 total people (including children), and they all have the same exact same signature on all 400 ballots, the election fraud was very obvious.
Two questions: Do you have a link to your source for this "information" ?

and: Did she win by 400 votes? or more?
 
Romney was one of the exceptions.
 
I have no idea what your talking about.
Really? Do you think it appropriate for "patriots" to turn in their American flag, and instead march with a Trump flag? Have we ever had a president before who would encourage such a thing?

How exactly does that have anything to do with the thread topic?

Can you show me any actual proof that supports that claim or is it the usual conspiracy theories that like Trump the liar keeps on touting to keep his ego in check.

How exactly did your post claiming Trump asked for a peaceful and patriotic protest have anything to do with the thread topic?

Any thinking individual looking at a gaggle of Trump flag and Confederate flag waving "protesters" would realize this was not a "patriotic" event. If you have grown immune to the message a flag with the name of a person emblazoned across sends, you might see where else this practice exists.

She won by 2,092 votes in 2010, and there was lots ballot-stuffing in the remote villages. Just like there was in the 2020 election. According to the Bureau of the Census there were 111% more Alaskans voting than are eligible to vote. Even in Alaska's latest municipal election in Anchorage this past April they had 107.5% more people voting than were eligible to vote.

Systemic government election fraud has been rampant in Alaska for decades. There is no such thing as a "free and fair" election in Alaska.

Any “mindless” LW minion might think that; but that’s not you, is it?
 
It was wild for sure, but common sense prevailed today. There is still freedom of speech in the US/Utah. Keep up the good fight Mitt.


After a vigorous debate at their state convention, delegates voted 798 to 711 to defeat the censure, part of a raucous party gathering held Saturday at the Maverik Center in West Valley City. The motion to censure and close vote the defeat came near the end of the party’s meeting, even after top party leaders had urged unity in speech after speech through the day.

the GOP has become a sick, twisted party

period

Who knew that there would come a day when the party of Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater would shun an honest and decent American who votes his conscience like Mitt Romney does. There are many old-time Republicans crying in heaven right now.
 
Prop. 2 violates the First Amendment and cannot be implemented. The Supreme Court already held it unconstitutional in California Democratic Party v. Jones, 530 U.S. 567 (2000). You cannot mandate open primaries without violating the freedom of association clause of the First Amendment.
Uh-huh.

Unless/until Measure 2 (Choice Voting) is repealed, it’s in effect.
Furthermore, if you recall the 2010 election, Murkowski lost the Republican Primary and therefore cannot claim to be a Republican.
I well recall Murkowski being denied her party’s nomination in 2010.

I recall Alaskans reminding their state GOP leadership that they are the ones that choose who will represent them in DC.

Murkowski beat her state GOP backed opponent by more than 10,000 votes. A fair margin in a state with a total population of about 750k, and returned to DC, continuing to caucus with the Republican Party. 👍

Wrong. Prop. 2 violates the US Constitution according to the Supreme Court, which makes the entire proposition invalid.

Wrong yet again, she beat Miller by exactly 2,092 votes, and even then still couldn't manage to get 40% of the vote. Why do you feel the need to habitually lie about everything?

Murkowski's last year in office will be 2022, then the anti-American leftist bitch is finished.
 
Mitt Romney and business associates have made big big big bucks using the leveraged buyout option to place many USA corporations in financial distress then outsource millions of USA jobs abroad. Ruining lives for millions
of Americans.

And he travels about the USA seeking political office ....

So how is Mitt such a wonderful politician?

Voting against Rump was easy considering a majority in America despised Trump.
And Mittens have the luxury of being more liked than Trump by many Utah Republicans (which is why he didn't had to worry about this, he knew he had a majority behind him).

Your interpretation of other legal cases that you think invalidate Measure 2 is irrelevant.

As of today, Alaska’s Measure 2 remains in effect.

Contrary to your twisted view, one doesn’t have to be a Trump loving, brain dead, far right Tea Bagger to be a real Conservative.

As I previously posted, it is not my interpretation but that of the Supreme Court in California Democratic Party v. Jones, 530 U.S. 567 (2000). Which held that California's blanket primary violates a political party's First Amendment right of association. Since Alaska's Prop. 2 attempts to do exactly the same thing, the entire proposition is unconstitutional and cannot be implemented.

Maybe next time the courts won't combine every thing into a single proposition, but they did and that unconstitutional act kills everything else.

Consider the source. Murkowski won with 92,931 votes, while Joe Miller had 90,839 votes. Which gave Murkowski a 2,092 vote lead over Miller in 2010.

Who cares about 2010. How did she do in 2016?

🤣 Ballotpedia is among the most trusted sources in America.

“As of Tuesday evening, Murkowski had won more than 90 percent of the write-in votes and had a lead of more than 10,000 votes over Miller.”

“Murkowski had a lead of about 10,000 votes with only 752 ballots left to be counted, a state election official said on Wednesday. According to the latest figures from the state's division of elections, Murkowski has 100,868 votes to Miller's 90,468.”

“On Wednesday afternoon Sen. Lisa Murkowski after being upset in the Republican primary by Sarah Palin's protégé Joe Miller, was declared the winner in the Alaska Senate race by the Associated Press.

Murkowski became the first write-in candidate to win a Senate seat since Strom Thurmond in 1954.”

I’m not wasting any time looking through 500+ pages in your link, for something that isn’t there.

Only by you. They obviously got it wrong, as the official ballot count demonstrates.

Of course you wouldn't. Anything that proves you wrong you won't ever bother reading, even when the document is indexed and tells you precisely where to find the votes cast for US Senator. So continue to live in your leftist fantasy world where you are always wrong all the time.

The vast majority of write-in votes went to Murkowski.
55F969DB-636B-4B1B-B386-3C187AC62B30.jpeg

Miller filed a federal lawsuit on November 9, 2010, seeking to have write-in ballots that contained spelling and other errors from being counted toward Murkowski's total and a seeking preliminary injunction to prevent the counting of the write-in votes from even beginning.[12][55] He claimed that he had a federal case because State election officials were violating the Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment by using a voter intent standard that allowed misspelled write-in votes to count.[56] The federal court allowed the counting to proceed as the challenged ballots were segregated from the others and could be re-examined later, if necessary.[55] After hearing motions and arguments from both sides, the federal court abstained from hearing the case, ruling that the dispute could be resolved by the State courts by reference to State law.[56] The federal court kept the case in its docket in the event that federal issues still remained after the State courts' determination.[56] The federal court also put a halt to the certification of the election pending rulings on Miller's lawsuits. Miller then filed suit in State court, repeating the claims he had previously made, and adding allegations of vote fraud and bias.[57] On December 10, the Alaska Superior Court rejected all of Miller's claims as contrary to State statute and case law, and said the fraud claims were unsubstantiated.[7][10] Miller then appealed the Superior Court ruling to the Alaska Supreme Court, citing a provision in the Alaska election statute that says there shall be "no exceptions" to the rules for counting ballots, and that therefore, all ballots with misspellings or other deviations should be thrown out. After oral arguments were heard on December 17,[11] on December 22, the Alaska Supreme Court upheld the lower court's ruling dismissing Miller's claims.[58][59] On December 26, Miller announced that he would be withdrawing his opposition for Murkowski's Senate certification, but would continue pursuing the federal case.[60] On December 31, Miller announced at a news conference in Anchorage that he was conceding.[14]
