All Trumpers Are Traitors

Donald Trump has set a pretty high bar for himself when it comes to wild
rants. And yet, over the weekend in a speech to Turning Point Action in
Arizona, he managed to outdo himself.
Words -- or at least my words -- can't do it justice. So, here's the former
President of the United States:
"The county has, for whatever reason, also refused to produce the network
routers. We want the routers, Sonny, Wendy, we got to get those routers,
please. The routers. Come on, Kelly, we can get those routers. Those routers.
You know what? We're so beyond the routers, there's so many fraudulent votes
without the routers. But if you got those routers, what that will show, and
they don't want to give up the routers. They don't want to give them. They
are fighting like hell. Why are these commissioners fighting not to give the
routers?"
Yup. Literally unhinged. I mean, he says the word "routers" 11 times in that
rant.
What, you ask, is he talking about?
Well, as part of the ongoing audit of the vote in Maricopa County (Arizona),
there has been an attempt by Trump-aligned forces to subpoena the network
routers used by the county's election division.
Why the routers? Oh because the state Senate Republicans leading the audit --
as well as the questionable firm they have hired to run said audit -- want to
know whether the Maricopa County voting machines were connected to the
Internet on Election Day. Why? Because of a debunked conspiracy theory that
votes were somehow electronically transferred from Trump to Biden. (This is
all part of a broader conspiracy theory that Italian satellites were used to
change votes. And no, I am not kidding.)
As the Arizona Republic wrote back in May:
"Senate liaison Ken Bennett has said [the routers] are needed to check
whether the county's voting machines were connected to the internet during
the election. But a county spokesperson said that the auditors already have
the information and machines to perform that check, and a previous
independent audit commissioned by the county proved they were not."
Why won't the county just turn over the routers to appease Trump? Three
reasons actually:
1. Money. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has estimated the cost of
replacing routers, which would need to be done if the current ones were
handed over for this "audit,"at $6 million. (If you're wondering the board
has a 4-1 Republican majority.)
2. Disruption: Handing over the routers would "severely disrupt the
operations of county government because other agencies outside of the
recorder's office and elections department use them," according to the board.
3. Safety: "Given access to the mail carriers' -- or routers' -- information,
it would be easier for a bad actor to get access to a person's mail, or to
target the information inside the network," wrote the Arizona Republic.
Trump, of course, cares about none of that. It makes a good talking point to
say that these routers hold some super-secret information (they do not) and
suggest that the county's unwillingness to turn them over is proof that there
is something nefarious on them. (It is not).
And so, we get the router rant. Which would be funny except that, as January
6 proved, lots and lots of people believe -- sight unseen -- whatever the
former president says. And that fact makes what Trump is doing actually
dangerous.
