1/ The question remains: When did @goud4clerk determine the 2020 election was not stolen?

That change had to have happened sometime within the last four months.

He has not responded to my questions about when the shift happened #utpol
2/ I recently found a video of @goud4clerk participating in a panel discussion prior to a screening of the election conspiracy movie "2000 Mules."

That was May 27 of this year #utpol
3/ "2000 Mules" is the widely debunked "documentary" from Dinseh D'Souza that claims non-profit groups are paying volunteers (the mules) to traffic ballots to different drop boxes #utpol
4/ There are dozens of articles debunking the claims in "2000 Mules."

IMHO this article from @pbump of the @washingtonpost is one of the best #utpol

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
5/ If you like your debunking of election fraud conspiracies a little more irreverent, may I suggest you subscribe to @PokerPolitics Patreon to listen to their excellent (and hilarious) "Mule's Errand" series? #utpol

6/ The film relies on sketchy data from "True the Vote," which has raised millions in donations by making unfounded claims they've discovered voter fraud.

Here's some good background info from @TexasTribune #utpol

texastribune.org/2022/06/14/tru…
6/ During the panel discussion prior to "2000 Mules," @goud4clerk was asked about his top priorities if he wins in November.

"Number one is to secure the ballot drop boxes. It'll be relevant when you watch the movie," Maragani said #utpol
7/ Later in the discussion, @goud4clerk said:

"I wouldn't be here if not for what happened in 2020 and what happened after that. There are a lot of people waking up to what the real situation in our country is, and we should be thankful for that" #utpol
8/ Last month during an interview I asked @goud4clerk what he thought of 2000 Mules. He was very noncommittal

"That was interesting. I mean, from my perspective, I just like to hear different information" #utpol
9/ I also asked @goud4clerk if he believed "2000 Mules" was factual.

"To me, the movie is just informative. I can't tell you if it's facts or not because I haven't seen the underlying data" #utpol

1/ Recently, I told you how @goud4clerk made posts on Telegram where he claimed Democrats cheated and stole the 2020 election.

There were lots of other posts from Maragani expressing anti-vax, anti-mask and other far-right beliefs #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
2/ In this post from July, 2021, Maragani responds to a story alleging students were told to hide 'equity survey' questions from parents.

"It's what commies do. We need 100% school choice so parents can pull their kids out of government schools," Maragani wrote #utpol "It's what commies do....
3/ Also from July, 2021, Maragani says he wants elected officials who will "impeach" the chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court because he issued a mask mandate during the COVID pandemic.

"If he's issuing mask mandates, he won't rule conservatively on other issues" #utpol Image

Maragani's claim that 14,000 ballots cannot be attributed to registered voters is not true.

It comes from an analysis from Cindy Butler, who was a speaker at election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell's "Moment of Truth" summit #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
The Clerk's office walked me through the claim which is based on comparing multiple data sets from different points in time.

They say they've explained this to Maragani and others several times.
I'm going to try to explain this, so try to follow along. It's complicated #utpol

Good morning from Alta High School.

I'm here for the Salt Lake County GOP's quarterly central committee meeting.

Almost all of the seats in the #utleg in play are in Salt Lake County, so this meeting is very important with just over two months to go until election day #utpol
County party chairman @cnull tells me they feel good about picking up some seats in the #utleg this year, but he's also feeling pressure to deliver.

Null says redistricting was favorable for the GOP, which is a reason why he's feeling some optimism #utpol
As the meeting gets underway, somebody in the back yells, "Let's hear it for Republicans!"

His exhortation gets a smattering of applause.

"That was weak," he said.

Chairman Null jokes about playing AC/DC music to pump everybody up.

"Not everybody likes that," he says #utpol

1/ A conservative non-profit political organization run by longtime activist Leonard Leo received a massive $1.6 billion donation.

Why does Marble Freedom Trust list a North Salt Lake address on its tax filings? #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
2/ Marble Freedom Trust is controlled by Leonard Leo, who was one of the first paid employees of the Federalist Society. He's now co-chairman of the group's board of directors #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
3/ Tax documents show Marble Freedom Trust is headquartered at an address owned by Tyler Green, who is listed as a trustee of the nonprofit.

Green, a native Utahn, was Utah's solicitor general from 2015 to 2020 #utpol

Oh, hey!

Election conspiracy cranks "Two Red Pills" are doing an interview with a local right-wing podcast.

Let's see what falsehoods and fabrications they come up with today!
Jen Orten and Sophie Anderson are talking about how they've been invited to an event with "True the Vote," which is the people who helped Dinesh D'Souza with his garbage "documentary" 2000 Mules.
"You guys get stuff done," says one of the hosts.

Narrator: "They do not, in fact, get stuff done."

Buttigieg-a-palooza (TM) has moved from the Capitol to a Unified Fire Station in Emigration Canyon as we prepare for a roundtable discussion with Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson and others about firefighting efforts and improving transportation infrastructure #utpol
SLCO Mayor Jenny Wilson and Secretary Pete Buttigieg join several other people for the roundtable discussion.

"This is an important time for our nation, and it's an important time for our county," Wilson says to start #utpol
Wilson recounting 2020 with the start of the COVID pandemic followed by the Salt Lake earthquake and the BLM protests in Salt Lake City and the massive windstorm.

I'm sure this will tie into transportation issues, but it's a long way to get to the point #utpol
