A former Republican lawmaker who questioned the integrity of Arizonaâs elections and served as a leader for the conservative group Turning Point Action was sentenced Tuesday to probation and a five-year ban on running for public office for using nominating petitions that contained forged signatures in a bid to qualify for a 2024 primary election.
Austin Smith, 30, pleaded guilty in mid-November to charges of attempted fraudulent schemes and practices, and illegal signing of election petitions. He had acknowledged trying to use petitions with forged signatures that he knew were false and forging a dead womanâs signature on a nominating petition.
Always accuse your enemy of that which you are guilty...

Well since you only scrutinize me I guess that I must remind you, Paul, that when dave calls me out or pings me he uses my actual name and not my username.
You need to broaden your attentions, being the Hall Monitor and all that ...
Maybe with you I should use i slander. That would be more truthful, imo.
Speaking of corrections... in general, around here people have chosen a username as part of an identity they want to use, it's obnoxious (and potentially confusing to people who don't know) to intentionally refer to someone by their meatspace name. And if you are going to do the obnoxious thing, at least use the professional/respectful capitalization. Using 'dave' the way you do is just being a jerk. We are all pretty easy to find in the online world, so you aren't doing any big 'outing'.

True. And, although I go by a longer alt, Feel free to shorten it to my nickname â_â

There is so little of this as to be basically nonexistent which is why I bring up dave specifically as an example of this lack of correction based upon the preference of the dominant partisan POV's.

Gian Rachtelli, a right-wing livestreamer who goes by âMannyâ online, was charged with âlewd, indecent, or obscene actsâ after being apprehended at the problem-plagued patriotic spectacle in Washington, D.C., last Thursday.
Arrest documents reviewed by HuffPost include three separate witness statements.
One detail-oriented observer told police officers they saw Rachtelli recording female circus performers before he âstuck his right hand down his pants and moved back-and-forth approximately six times ... in what appeared to be self pleasure or masturbation.â
Another reported a performer from the Cirque Mechanics troupe approached them to point out an âolder white maleâ who was âmaking lewd gestures in his pantsâ during their act.
A third said they saw the accused âwith his hand in his pants likely doing what we all thought he was doing.â
Rachtelliâs last livestream on YouTube took place during the fair on the day of his arrest. It abruptly cuts off after a police officer approaches him and then escorts him to a group of several other members of law enforcement.
