Excuse me, exactly what role does Tim have in Alaska's election?
-
So it's against the law to confuse voters? Since fucking when? Tell that to the CA billionaires who wrote up props 41 and 42. Not a single ad mentioned that passing those measures nullifies prop 41. Also, go ahead and prove in a court of law that voters were confused, and why. That'll be fun

I promise that no matter how much Tim Scott loathes himself, I will always loathe him more
-
Fun fact: Scott doesn’t have to accept it.

Shouldn't she be asking him if he'll accept Darline Graham's loss?
-
“it’s illegal to confuse the voters” is a wild statement to hear coming from a member of the “let’s mass violate the hatch act” party
-
What's he going to say if Darline Graham loses?
-
Why are they asking him like he has any say on the results of the election.
-
The fact that we're even asking these Dumbfucks this question shows the sad and dangerous state this country is in.

I would have loved it if she had asked him what Federal Statute was violated...

Who cares I don’t understand the need to elevate these folks? What am I saying- the media is literally just about elevating mediocre(that’s being nice) men to positions of power

We had a democracy problem with Republicans before Trump. They stole the 2000 election from Gore.
-
Who GAF what he refuses to do. He’s irrelevant.
-
Ok but why do I give a fuck what Tim Scott thinks about this?
-
The Republican Party has become completely authoritarian. They don’t believe in elections unless they win. Even once Trump is out of office, I think we were going to have a democracy problem with the Republican Party for a long time.

Why is Uncle Tim the main water boy this month?

Fortunately, it's not up to him. It doesn't matter what he thinks which, I guess, is why he was asked the question.

Honest if a R wins. Rigged if a D wins. Isn’t that how it works?

Is Tim Scott really an idiot or does he just play one on TV?
-
He is the definition of a "useful idiot".

what's great is that it doesn't matter whether Tim Scott accepts the results or not
