Stafstrom, who led Democratic opposition that killed the bill, offered Sampson the hypothetical of someone wearing a National Rifle Association T-shirt, standing outside a polling place in a threatening manner that could discourage a voter from entering the building.

"As I read this language," Stafstrom said of the bill, know as Senate Bill 390. "I am reasonably fearful that person may have a gun and that influences me to stay away from the polling place. A (class) D felony, particularly for someone who has never had any run-in with the law before, is eligible for accelerated rehabilitation," and avoid a prison sentence. "Under this language, the judge's discretion to give that person AR, would be taken away and the individual would have to serve a year in prison."

State Rep. Matt Blumenthal, D-Stamford, a member of the Judiciary Committee who is also co-chairman of the GAE Committee, said mandatory minimums have been found not to deter crime.

A couple hours later, House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora, R-North Branford and Rep. Gale Mastrofrancesco of Wolcott, a ranking Republican on the GAE Committee, said they were both disappointed with the Judiciary Committee action.

"It seems as if Democrats will pay only lip service to keeping our elections clean and addressing serious alleged violations that have been caught on tape. Keep in mind, SB 390 was wholeheartedly supported by the very agency that has oversight of violations of election laws, the State Elections Enforcement Commission," they said in a joint statement.

Meanwhile, in an early afternoon vote, the House of Representatives voted 150-0 to approve legislation that would require video surveillance of election drop boxes and limit political campaign workers to taking out no more than five applications for absentee ballots.

What the fuck is this even supposed to mean? The dudes like "well, im afraid of guns and so that's why we shouldn't make people do jail time for committing election fraud"
Like wtf he just spewed out some democrat talking points and anti gun fear porn and used it to justify why his democrat buddies should not face any consequences for election fraud

Wow bigly! Paying someone to keep a rumor quiet is so much different than election fraud. It really is tho. What democrats do is much worse than paying someone not to spread a rumor

>>1293062
The problem is nobody cares about your pearl clutching. You don't give a fuck about rule of law. Conservative defended and continue to defend Trump and Republicans when they tried to overturn a legal election, now we're supposed to take you seriously when you talk about your concern for election fraud? Don't lie to yourself, anon. Your concern is Republicans losing elections, not the law. If you cared about the law you wouldn't be here shilling for a dude who is under 91 felony indictments for fraud and corruption.

>>1293062
Jesus christ what a giant hypocrite you are.

>>1293068
If you cared about the law you wouldn't conflate 91 accusations with criminal culpability.

You would also keep in mind that 'overturning' in this context is a lie. But you have done nothing but lie, so you can no longer differentiate fact from fiction. And in your confusion, you have begun to persecute the innocent, irrespective of the natural rights afforded to each man and the constitutional protections pursuant to such things.

Your actions betray your intent, and your intent betrays the true nature of your heart. Every attempt you make to lie, the further you divest yourself from the truth, and like a bird to winter shores, you will find yourself isolated, cold and alone.

>>1293071
Imagine getting paid to run damage control for a corrupt billionaire. Now imagine doing it for free.

>>1293071
>If you cared about the law you wouldn't conflate 91 accusations with criminal culpability.
This is a great criticism of Republicans. Their response isn't "Well, lets let the court do its process and we'll decide what to do when we get the verdicts". Their response is "The trials are all sham they're all fake he's innocent no matter what we support him no matter what". Conservatives give no fucks about the rule of law.

>You would also keep in mind that 'overturning' in this context is a lie.
Its not. Sending fake electors to send slates to congress claiming you won when you know you didn't is absolutely trying to overturn an election. You're defending because you don't give a fuck about the law so long as it gives you what you want.

>Your actions betray your intent, and your intent betrays the true nature of your heart. Every attempt you make to lie, the further you divest yourself from the truth, and like a bird to winter shores, you will find yourself isolated, cold and alone.
The reason you and I both know I'm right is because you have no argument. This irrelevant slam poetry you've typed is meant to portray me as wrong and evil because moral outrage is the only weapon you can use. Factually, you know you're wrong. You know you don't care about the law. You cheered when Trump tried to steal the election. You cheered when Texas violated federal law by trying to patrol the border. You're a hypocrite.

>>1293074
>Conservatives give no fucks about the rule of law.
You literally belong to the same demographic of voters that believes men can give birth. You and truth are completely separate from each other on an intrinsic level.

>>1293074
>The trials are all sham they're all fake
I mean, the points to this being a political persecution rather than prosecution.
The fact that you ignore that NY is actively changing the laws to get dRumpf doesn't make you enlightened.

Trump is the canary in the coal mine. Regardless if he's vindicated or convicted, nothing changes.

And honestly, the more democrats do this shit, the closer we crawl to a civil war.
Do you honestly believe anybody will give a shit about the law if they use it to arbitrarily imprison their political opponents? Or rather, that they should at all? Don't be retarded.

>>1293079
Do you think a servant of the people should be allowed to commit crimes without consequences? Sounds like bootlicking to me.

>>1293061
How is asking someone to keep quiet about having sex with you even in the same world as election fraud and vote rigging?
Like what the literal fuck is wrong with you?

Last I checked Biden was facilitating genocide, so I don't know who the fuck you're trying to fool.

>>1293082
Yeah the Bidens really need to pay for all their Ukrainian corruption schemes

>>1293087
Shhh. Democrats will impeach you for attempting to look into the obvious corruption, then change laws in states they control to prosecute you.

>>1293087
>>1293091
Who is supposed to be fooled by this?

>>1293083
Whatever you need to tell yourself to cope with the fact that Trump is going to jail for is crimes is fine.

>>1293093
Once again anon, you honestly would prefer that a politician go to jail for paying someone to not talk to people about their sex life, and you would prefer the politicians who were caught committing election, ballot, and or voter fraud, to have no jail time?

Your priorities are fucked up and I have the feeling it is literally only because trump is involved and you are suffering from TDS

>>1293092
Who's supposed to be fooled by show trials?
Anyway, people who believe men are women aren't the arbiters of truth, obviously.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/11/09/politics/how-a-nullified-election-in-connecticut-became-a-rallying-cry-for-trump-supporters

“This is just a ‘tiny’ part of what’s happening in our country with voting. It’s all a giant scam!” Trump posted last week on Truth Social, his social media site.

That claim from Trump, the nation’s top election denier, is a massive distortion of reality, experts say. If anything, they note, the Connecticut case shows once again that when fraud happens, it’s almost always on a local scale, and often gets caught.

“To election losers who have claimed for three years that their election was stolen, Bridgeport was discovered within days or weeks,” said David Becker, founder of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research. “There still hasn’t been a shred of evidence presented to any court demonstrating widespread fraud in 2020.”

weird how they waited until he was running for president during election year to bring charges

not really considering you can't charge a sitting president and they didn't start investigating until he was out of office

You're listing the effect and trying to say it's the cause. He's running for president to get rid of the charges, not the other way around.

The funniest part for me is them whining that there isn't enough evidence of widespread voter fraud...in deep blue states where looking for evidence of voter fraud is outright illegal.

>>1293148
>Experts say
Coincidentally these experts all are leftists
>Muh local fraud is easier to prove
Yeah because the feds are the ones with standing to investigate massive fraud, and they'll say they did nothing wrong and it all looks legit to them.

>>1293166
No, because I can read, and because you don't need to change the law to specifically hang one man if he's guilty. We have laws against doing that exact thing, but if the Bill of Rights doesn't apply in blue states neither do other laws.
I'm sure you think Aloha Spirit overrides those too, lmao.

>>1293166
The problem with that theory is the people who keep trying to charge Trump have done nothing but lie about him for 10 years, up to and including trying to charge him with a felony for investigating voter fraud in Georgia. So whatever they assert is almost certainly the opposite of the truth going forward.

>>1293191
