KEN BUCK

I am all in for impeachment of Biden and Mayorkas. For the following reasons as well as what is mentioned above and the actual charges that the House put forth.
1. Impeachment is a trial. It allows for examination and cross examination of witnesses in public view.
the media love the show.
It lets the voters judge for themselves as they are the jury of publlc opinion.
2. Impeachment consumes time and the energies of legislators and therefore less of these resources
to spend on how to get more money out of the taxpayer.

Where is your proof that "millions of ballots were harvested"?

CLAIM: In Philadelphia alone, True the Vote identified 1,155 “mules” who illegally collected and dropped off ballots for money.

THE FACTS: No, it didn’t. The group hasn’t offered any evidence of any sort of paid ballot harvesting scheme in Philadelphia. And True the Vote did not get surveillance footage of drop boxes in Philadelphia, so the group based this claim solely on cellphone location data, its researcher Gregg Phillips said in March in testimony to Pennsylvania state senators.

Voter fraud during ballot collection is “rare, but it can happen,” said Amanda Zoch, a project manager in the elections and redistricting program at the National Conference of State Legislatures.
One such case happened in a 2018 North Carolina congressional election where an operative for Republican candidate Mark Harris hired workers to fill out fraudulent absentee ballots and deliver them to post offices (here). The operative was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and the state ordered a rerun of the election in 2019, where Harris was not a candidate and another Republican candidate won (here), (here), (here).

A conservative group has told a Georgia judge that it doesn’t have evidence to support its claims of illegal ballot stuffing during the the 2020 general election and a runoff two months later.

Texas-based True the Vote filed complaints with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in 2021, including one in which it said it had obtained “a detailed account of coordinated efforts to collect and deposit ballots in drop boxes across metro Atlanta” during the November 2020 election and a January 2021 runoff.

A Fulton County Superior Court judge in Atlanta signed an order last year requiring True the Vote to provide evidence it had collected, including the names of people who were sources of information, to state elections officials who were frustrated by the group’s refusal to share evidence with investigators.

In their written response, attorneys for True the Vote said the group had no names or other documentary evidence to share.

Anecdote: in Philadelphia, when Mitt Romney was running against Barack Obama, in over twenty voting precincts, not a single vote was cast for the Republican. Statistically impossible. But the press just shrugged.

Republicans talk about that they have to win by enough that they can't cheat enough to win.

I do believe President Biden won the popular vote, just like Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, but I do believe there were shenanigans in both Arizona and Georgia.

So, once again, you got nothing.

The Democrats have decades of experience covering their tracks. Even go back to Chicago with Nixon and Kennedy in 1960.

Still nothing, huh? I am surprised.

Ken Buck has announced that he will resign from the House of Representatives effective March 22nd.
This is within the window in which the Governor is required to call for a special election. The primary for the position of candidate for the general election in November is June 25th. So Buck has decided to cause the citizens of CD-4 to bear the expense of an election or elections. Will the special election be won by a simple plurality, there are 7 or more candidates in the running, or will be a run-off election ensue.
CD-4 is heavily Republican but with 7+ Republican candidates and 1 democrat it may will be a democrat victory; if it is a winner take all election.
Why do you think that Buck chose this route? To spend more time with his family as he states? To insure a slot on CNN or MSNBC? To hopefully influence the election to a candidate that he supports? Though I think that a candidate could not run away fast enough from his endorsement. Inquiring minds want to know.

Why is he resigning? He has told us.

Colorado Rep. Ken Buck on Wednesday announced he won't be seeking reelection and, in a sharply worded statement explaining his decision, he blamed the election denialism that has been embraced by some fellow conservatives in the House.

"Too many Republican leaders are lying to America," Buck said in a video released on social media, "claiming that the 2020 election was stolen, describing Jan. 6 as an unguided tour of the Capitol and asserting that the ensuing prosecutions are a weaponization of our justice system."

"These insidious narratives breed widespread cynicism and erode Americans' confidence in the rule of law," Buck said.

He continued: "It is impossible for the Republican Party to confront our problems and offer a course correction for the future while being obsessively fixated on retribution and vengeance for contrived injustices of the past."
