Dick: Payne is rep, did not run unopposed

Posted

Mr. Shaw, your lack of knowledge of the facts is showing (“Senator ignores those from other party,” Sun City Independent, Jan. 13, 2021).

Kevin Payne is our state representative, he serves in the Arizona State House, not the State Senate. Rep. Payne did not run unopposed, he was opposed by a very well funded Democrat candidate. The Democrat candidate outspent Rep. Payne by $5 dollars to every $1 spent by Rep. Payne, showing that out of state money cannot defeat a good and honest public servant.

Again, your lack of knowledge is showing, Mr. Shaw. Sedition is the act of inciting rebellion. What happened on Jan. 6 was a riot, not sedition when election workers are willing to give sworn affidavits that they saw breaches in election law.  It is not seditious to ask if the ballots were counted correctly,

Please note, Mr. Shaw, the governor and secretary of state are liberal politicians who favor liberal policies and a liberal president, that is why they so quickly certified the Democrat electors. Also, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office ran the election in Maricopa County, not the Board of Supervisors, and the then county recorder is a very liberal Democrat.

Your lack of math skills are showing, Mr. Shaw. The official election results are that Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes, with 3,333,829 votes cast. That is a margin narrow enough for a recount when signs of cheating are present, and the signs of cheating are present. It is a cheap trick to inflate election numbers.

Please remember, Mr. Shaw, the United States of America is a republic not a democracy. A republic is governed by laws and a democracy is governed by a mob.

L. Dick

Payne, rep, unopposed
