More controversy brews over Arizona presidential election audit
[quote]More issues are emerging from Arizona Republicans'
controversial 2020 presidential election audit, which ended last
week. Arizona's former secretary of state, who is overseeing the
process, threatened to quit last week after being locked out of
a building where the audit was taking place. Then the tally from
Cyber Ninjas, the private company conducting the audit, failed
to match Maricopa County's official count. Cyber Ninjas' CEO
also says private donations from pro-Trump organizations helped
fund the process along with the state. CBS News political
reporter Adam Brewster joins CBSN's "Red & Blue" host Elaine
Quijano to discuss how officials are responding to the latest
developments.[/quote]

The audit took longer because the donations kept coming in.
They were using the machines to count the $5,000,000 that came
in.
The audit was another grift [/quote]

[quote]Missouri governor pardons gun-waving St. Louis lawyer
couple
O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday
that he made good on his promise to pardon a couple who gained
notoriety for pointing guns at social justice demonstrators as
they marched past the couple’s home in a luxury St. Louis
enclave last year.
Parson, a Republican, on Friday pardoned Mark McCloskey, who
pleaded guilty in June to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and
was fined $750, and Patricia McCloskey, who pleaded guilty to
misdemeanor harassment and was fined $2,000.
...
The McCloskeys were indicted by a grand jury in October on
felony charges of the unlawful use of a weapon and evidence
tampering. Callahan later amended the charges to give jurors the
alternative of convictions of misdemeanor harassment instead of
the weapons charge.
...
“It is beyond disgusting that Mark and Patricia McCloskey
admitted they broke the law and within weeks are rewarded with
pardons, yet men like Kevin Strickland, who has spent more than
40 years in prison for crimes even prosecutors now say he didn’t
commit, remain behind bars with no hope of clemency,” Missouri
House Democratic Minority Leader Crystal Quade said in a
statement.[/quote]

[quote]Ohio Court Sentences Black Woman to 18 Months in Prison
the Day After Giving White Woman Probation for Same Crime
...
On August 2, former Chagrin Falls, Ohio Village Clerk Debbie
Bosworth pleaded no contest to 22 counts of theft in office,
tampering with records and money laundering after auditors
discovered she had embezzled more than $238,000 over the span of
20 years. The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office rejected the
53-year-old Bosworth’s plea and asked a judge to sentence her to
prison, even though she wrote a check for $100,000 to repay part
of her debt when her scheme was uncovered.
But Bosworth is white, as is Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court
Judge Hollie Gallagher. And in the history of America, there
isn’t one documented case of a “Hollie” sending a “Debbie” to
prison (yes, we actually checked). So, Gallagher, citing the
fact that Bosworth paid back some of the money she stole,
sentenced her fellow white woman to two years probation, much to
the chagrin of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley, who
issued a statement saying he found the sentence “to be
unacceptable in that he believes public employees who steal from
taxpayers should go to prison.”
The very next day, Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James
Gutierrez—the same assistant district attorney who prosecuted
Bosworth—recommended a prison sentence for 51-year-old former
school secretary Karla Hopkins for stealing $40,000 from Maple
Heights High School. Although Hopkins appeared before the exact
same court, Hopkins’ judge was a white man, Cuyahoga County
Common Pleas Court Rick Bell. Unlike Bosworth, Gallagher pleaded
guilty. Unlike Bosworth, Hopkins was only charged with one count
of theft in office. Unlike Bosworth, Hopkins had already found a
new job, completed an in-patient program for her gambling
addiction and had promised to repay the money she stole.
...
Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James Gutierrez, like
Brydle did with Bosworth, sought a prison sentence for Hopkins.
He told Bell that the state would be fine with a sentence of
between nine and 12 months.
Bell scolded Hopkins for taking her pension money, and sentenced
her to 18 months in prison — six more months than Gutierrez
requested.
...
The white woman committed more crimes, over a longer period of
time. She stole more money than the Black woman. She had 21 more
charges and cost taxpayers six times more money. She was facing
60 years in prison while the Black woman’s maximum sentence was
three years. Yet the Black woman received more prison time than
prosecutors wanted her to spend in jail.
...
Nationwide, Black people convicted of crimes received 20 percent
longer sentences than similarly situated whites who commit the
same offenses, according to the U.S. Sentencing Commission. In
Ohio, the state’s Black residents are imprisoned at 6 times the
rate of Ohio’s white residents, according to the Sentencing
Project. In 1999, a report from the Commission on Racial
Fairness found that Black Ohioans are sentenced to prison at
grossly disproportionate rates compared to their white
counterparts. The study, requested by the Chief Justice of the
Ohio Supreme Court, determined that “the consensus of the
available research acknowledges that minorities are more
frequently sentenced to prison and generally receive harsher
penalties than do whites.”[/quote]

sponsorships just before the opening of the signature collection
period,[5] he announced that he would withdraw his candidacy and
endorsed Socialist nominee Benoît Hamon, the pair have agreed on
a common platform;[6] their alliance was consummated when EELV
