January 6 and electoral coruption

US Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D, WA-07), wrote a lurid email about January 6 -- she was so shocked and frightened!  For some reason she thinks this will lend credence to her position on election integrity.

The noble sounding name For the People Act of 2021 is designed to allow ballot corruption by simplifying multiple registrations of one individual, eradicate confirmation of identification of the the voter and thereby diminish the role of the voters in the control government.

A group of aggrieved citizens, concerned about election integrity reminds Jayapal of  her desire to corrupt the electoral process in favor of her political party.

The email text:

Dear BobQat, -

Today is a somber day for our democracy, as we mark one year from the deadliest and most destructive attack on our Capitol since the War of 1812.

I was trapped in the House Chamber that day, and a year later, I remember each moment of it vividly. I remember the pounding of insurrectionists on the doors into the gallery where I was. I remember hearing the shot ring out. I remember preparing to use my gas mask and cane to fight back. I remember not knowing if I would make it out of our seat of democracy alive and not knowing if our democracy would survive.

A year later, the Big Lie persists in so many communities across this country as Trump and his Republicans in office continue to peddle dangerous misinformation.

That is exactly why we cannot stop until the insurrection is fully investigated — and every single person who was involved, either in the riot itself or in the planning and promoting of it, is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. There must be justice for what occurred.

We also need to be honest about what happened and see clearly what was revealed to us. During the deadly insurrection, rioters were allowed to commit countless crimes on federal property, assault police officers, threaten to hang Mike Pence – and still walk out of the building once they were done tarnishing it.

It's time for accountability and justice. It's time to protect our democracy. That is why I am continuing my push for new voting rights legislation. And that is why it is so important that you engage in our political system and insist on voting rights for everyone. This is just too important for us to let up or stop fighting with everything we've got.

Talk soon, 

Pramila Jayapal
U.S. Representative (WA-07)

Effing the ineffable - Washington State elections sometimes have been rigged.
