GET ME REWRITE: Ottawa Impact Looney Tunes show leads to biggest influx of county commission candidates in 2 decades

Photo credits: Ottawa County (work-related greasepaint added in some cases)

Headline: Fox17, 4/24/2024

A lot of candidates are running for the first time. Many have expressed frustrations with the current board majority, which aligns with the conservative advocacy group Ottawa Impact. {GET ME REWRITE: "Incompetence is Our Default")

"We've seen Democratic candidates file in every race, and we've seen a number of Republican candidates also filing in every seat. And so that's more significant in terms of what we've seen over the past 25 years here," Roebuck said.

The August primary has a different setup compared to the November general.

"So, you can vote in one partisan column, but not in both. So, essentially, you can pick whichever party you would like. But you have to stay within that party column for the remainder of the ballot," Roebuck added.

Day 1275 of GOP election denier hysteria (Trump Big Lie Clown Show Circus, MAGA lackey Jenna Ellis edition)

attack of the clown show zombies

Starring Trump lackey Jenna Ellis

Headline: Public Notice, 4/24/2024

Over in Georgia, Jenna Ellis has already pleaded out, getting a deal where owning up to one felony count of aiding and abetting false statements keeps her out of jail as long as she provides evidence in the Georgia case. Even in her plea allocution, though, Ellis tried to shift blame, saying she “relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true and reliable information.” It remains to be seen if Ellis will throw her Arizona co-defendants under the bus in similar fashion.
