I would love to see who runs this company, and their connection to the RNC.

I’m surprised no reporters have broken a story like this, but I think you need someone to do legwork in Iowa. Here’s the registration info for the company:
https://opengovus.com/iowa-business/639287
The address looks like the personal home of their tax preparer, or attorney, etc. I’d wager it’s buried by three layers of LLCs and then owned by someone voting to “investigate” elections.

Wonder if there's a way to get msnbc or CNN to look into this. Hell, even the inquirer, but have seen hard hitting from them in a while

The Inquirer is on it and the redacted contract was released - quarter million bucks to review 700 emails and 100 affidavits. Republicans won’t cooperate to fight corruption because they are complicit. You can’t make the public care and you can’t investigate without being accused of being partisan.

We need to stop the bullshit of being accused of being partisan, it's something done to make sure that this type of thing doesn't see the light of day and it's going to be made no matter what. The investigative reporters need to just fucking investigate and see what comes out of it.

American Oversight has been doing a deep dive on the issue. They have things posted on their website if anyone is interested. Also, a court decision from last month or so was pretty direct re Sage, Wake and another of these fake "election integrity" companies.

People like that usually think any money the government has to spend was stolen from the people. They say this while accepting government contracts, driving on public roads, and assuming the fire department will extinguish any fire within minutes.

A motion to dismiss the Republicans’ subpoena for voter data represents the latest, and possibly the final, twist in a two-year audit attempt.
IamSauerKraut t1_izq34bf wrote
There are risk audits run after every election. What the GQP seeks are voter records. I'm guessing they intend to go after folks who did not vote for their preferred candidates. Screw those buttwipes.
Pacoescobar21 t1_izqp712 wrote
I'm pretty sure that's not the party "going after people" given the course of events over the past 2 years.

Stop the gqp from wasting more taxpayer dollars for senseless, embarrassing, political theater.

GOP - a sad shadow of itself; they need to clean house and get rid of the far-right before the far-right gets rid of them.

Nothing like transparency and maintaining public trust. We don't need that for a democracy to be legitimate. Matter of fact, public trust is a threat to democracy!

>The committee had also agreed to a contract in 2021 worth more than $250,000 with a little-known limited liability company, Envoy Sage, to examine that data if and when it came, and also to investigate tips of fraud and third-party election interference. It isn’t clear whether the company ever performed any work. A phone number for Envoy Sage was perpetually busy, and the company didn’t respond to an email. Votebeat and SpotlightPA have requested records from the Pennsylvania Treasury showing how much the company was actually paid, but have not yet received them.

Why are you so obsessed with genitalia?

Like gun grabbers every time they make a reference?
cashonlyplz t1_j0cdrdh wrote
Huh? i am confused by that response.
Do you think I am anti-gun because I am in favor of civil liberties? Owning a gun is one of those liberties.
I don't believe in the 2nd Amendment nonsense you all freak out about. No one has ever come for my gun.
I am more concerned with my right to not have my medical care access forbidden over religious "woke" moral panics about queers?
A transphobe would be wise to not come knocking at my door. Go shoot up a power substation or something lol
Shift-Subject t1_j0cea1a wrote
Then you should understand the obsession with genitalia of gun grabbers.
Folks in favor of transgenderism as a treatment for gender dysphoria are biophobic.
cashonlyplz t1_j0cevdo wrote
Your choice of language is telling.
You think sexuality and/or orientation is an ideology, and not something determined, and that science actually backs. That is just ignorant.
I don't fear people who merely want to live their lives in peace. You do. You live with irrational fears. I want the best for my fellow queers. Biophobic? That isn't a word.
You probably think drag queens are trans people. That's also ignorant. Drag queens are (predominantly) gay men.
Shift-Subject t1_j0cgbzp wrote
Attempting to force acceptance and recognition for a subjective feeling is not trying to live in peace. It's declaring war on objectivity, and by your language I can see that you replace objectivity with subjectivity which is paradoxical and necessarily makes what is "true" definable by whoever holds the higher amount of power.
That's not a future you'll like, my friend.

Likewise. Meaning stop pushing the shit on children. Nobody is preventing adults from doing what they want. There's a shit ton of people trying to change the way pronouns work, though 🤔

… says the guy who put all of his trust in The Man With The Orange Face, social media, and a select few online “news” sources. If half of the folks like you chose to put your faith in the courts, the US Attorney General, the Justice Department, the head of Homeland Security (to name a few), the whole country would be in better shape. That’s the whole problem with dealing with people like you- you can’t reason with someone whose life goal is to be unreasonable, to ignore evidence-based facts, to refuse to accept reality, and to think that your opinion is the equivalent of knowledge- on every subject.

That's the opposite of what's happening here, though. Alas, up is down to you people.

Republicans are using lies about election integrity to funnel hundreds of thousands to a private company that can’t be contacted. Has any “conservative” seen those commandments and the one about stealing?
