Utah prosecutors have charged a former county clerk with three felonies and other counts for allegedly shredding and otherwise mishandling ballots from the 2020 and 2022 elections.

The alleged misdeeds involved ballots cast by about 5,000 voters in Juab County, a desert area of west-central Utah with about 12,000 residents.

Former Juab County Clerk/Auditor Alaina Lofgran is accused of allowing ballots to be shredded soon after the 2022 election in violation of a law requiring their preservation for at least 22 months. The law is for aiding recounts.

Hold on, nobody tell me; I’m going to use my psychic gifts to ascertain the political leanings of this election interfering clerk.

Mmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmm…it’s coming to me….I'm starting to see it more clearly….it starts with an…..”R”? Yes….its “Repopulate”? Wait, no it’s “Republican”. It says the clerk who manipulated votes is a Republican.

I’m sure you’re all as surprised as me at this crazy turn of events.

What? The party that constantly cheats at elections is cheating elections?

I'm convinced that the reason they say the election was stolen is because Republicans actually did rig the election, and trump still lost. So, if Republicans rigged the election and still lost, then they think Democrats must have done something to "steal" the election.

It's almost always projection.
