The @January6thCmte report gives new details about the role Sen. Mike Lee played in the scheme to have states appoint alternate electors to help overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss #utpol
Newly public text messages show Lee was in contact with senior Trump legal adviser Cleta Mitchell, who advised Donald Trump during the infamous phone call where he pressured Georgia election officials to "find" 11,780 votes.
2/ A source familiar with the case told me the subpoenas are seeking documents and other records relating to the drawing of the new maps during the redistricting process #utpol#utleg
3/ A separate court filing requesting information from the #utleg asks for draft maps not approved by lawmakers, communications with current or former members of Congress and contacts with Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson #utpol
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
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
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
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.
