It all seems to be crashing down for Minnehaha County Auditor Leah Anderson this weekend, as she continues to be under fire from all sides.
Of course, she’s brought it on herself by possibly being the worst, in terms of promoting election conspiracies, and denying voters the right to vote. The latest? The Argus Leader has posted an article (another article) with scathing criticism of what she’s actually using her office for:
Anderson claimed to have found “drastic differences” in vote percentages between in-person and absentee voting, “concerning” patterns in military absentee voting and “alarming” discrepancies between the official record of votes and the audit logs.
Anderson has released no evidence of any of these claims outside of the press release, and in the last two days has agreed to, rescheduled and eventually declined an interview with the Argus Leader about the claims, citing a heavy workload and deadlines for a post-election audit, which she is expected to discuss with the Minnehaha County Commission next Tuesday.
But since the press release, Anderson has found time to appear on multiple right-wing internet programs, including a conversation with election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, where she has connected her concerns about Minnehaha County elections to a theory that claims an algorithm is being used to alter absentee ballots.
She said she was aided by analysis from a “data expert,” who believes that “the United States of America was the victim of a coordinated multi-state conspiracy to defraud the 2020 General Election.”
And it goes downhill from there.
Once again, her “guiding light” is the election-denier in chief — the 45th president of the United States. Many who rightfully scorn her still kneel to him.
Cole Heisey will abandon her on day 1.
If he’s smart, he will.
Grandma Cra-Cra.
Goodness..maybe she’s making a late run to be Trump’s Vice President. Maybe she’s making an early run to succeed Mrs. Noem as Governor in 2026. Maybe she’s hearing voices.
Tin Foil futures are looking very good right now. What used to be the SDGOP and GOP now Trump/MAGA Party not so good.
What
Over a dozen solid Republicans were kicked to the curb by whacko, anti-ag, anti-economic morons.
You will reap what you sow. And the peeps who didn’t vote. STFU.
I voted, but as a registered independent… this one is on the GOP
yup
Nothing will change until someone loses. Ravnsborg, Johnson… Senate and house primaries… auditors…
No consequences at this point.
It seems to me that a certain group of people are perfectly content with the fraud. Leah Anderson is the only county auditor willing to put in the time and effort to investigate. I guess as long as the RINOs, Howdy Doody, Thune and Rounds are the winners, honesty in our elections does not matter! Leah seems to be the only one who is actually living her oath to support the US & SD Constitutions and the GOP Platform. She is fighting for the election transparency that we were promised by Monae Johnson. I still wonder if Monae and/or her children are being threatened. I would not put that past many so called Republicans in South Dakota. I will probably be blocked from this platform once again. Some people do not want to know the truth or at the very least, listed to someone that does not agree with them.
Did it occur to you that Monae outsmarted you all…she now has an elected government job with benefits and state retirement. Perhaps she knew all along there was no voter fraud or election integrity issue and your grassroots voter fraud citizens for liberty patriot platform was what she knew she needed to get the nomination and the easy win. Wait…could someone be that hypocritical and devious….lets ask the founder of moms for liberty. Prove it in a court of law or shut up.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Barnett.
“Tired” is correct. Monae secured the nomination by pandering to useful idiots. She demurred when directly asked about election integrity. She never promised to hand count ballots or do any of those things the Weibels believed she would. She used Dave Roetman to secure the nomination and promptly fired him, she used the Weibels to secure the general election and promptly dumped them. It worked, didn’t it?
Trump continues to claim the 2020 election was fraudulent, because the story polls well. He has a legitimate complaint about the disinformation that was produced by the Democrats; they still believe the Russian collusion story and that Trump didn’t take the pandemic seriously, because that’s what CNN & MSNBC told them. If telling voters the 2020 election was stolen gets him back in office, well, that’s what works. What Trump is doing is no dirtier than anything the Democrats do, so why not?
get the facts straight: sticking to the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” is the only way to stay inside trump’s good graces. tell the truth, that he LOST, and you go on the elimination list. banished. so it’s more than just “ it plays well. “ it’s the cornerstone to a castle of lies, which trump brazenly builds higher and higher each day while MAGA INC (formerly GOP) nod approvingly. it’s viciously un-american, like selling top secret docs to enemies is unamerican.
btw – i had thought tinfoil hats were pyramid shaped to ward off and deflect energies. the one pictured looks more like a wave collector.
Trump didn’t take the pandemic seriously you twat.
yes he did take it seriously, he held meetings and daily press conferences at which he introduced different speakers about what was being done to combat it, fast-tracked the development and distribution of the vaccines, including lots of money, as well as questionable limits on manufacturers’ liability, and loosened requirements for testing protocols, which was a bit alarming, but effective.
For those of us who were watching, it was quite obvious he was bringing together medical professionals, finding out what they needed, and pharmaceutical and equipment manufacturers, telling them what to produce, and getting Congress to come up with the money to make it all happen. It was really quite impressive, seeing it all come together. I don’t think there had been such a mobilization of so many sectors of the economy since WWII.
I’m confused how violating election laws and disenfranchising 130 some voters who have a constitutional right to vote leads to “election transparency.” Pleas explain.
I second that!
Ethical journalists would pursue this evidence of fraud that is being brought forth. This piece smells of a corrupt narrative to try to shame those who seek actual truth.
