It is these days, yes, but it's probably both cheating AND a GOP that has lost its way. I cannot be convinced that cheating was not a very big factor in the elections of '20 and '22. Likely for longer than that.
I am not looking to convince anyone regarding "stolen" elections.
It seems everyone has an opinion. I don't feel I have enough data or energy to say much of anything.
Besides, I have no control over what has happened.
However, I do have some control over what I can do regarding a boneheaded GOP. The more I get involved, the more it looks like something that is a mess.....like most of them do. The challenge is that if that mess could ever be cleaned up, the democrats would never win another seat in AZ at the federal or state level.
But that requires the infighting to stop. Tall Order.
