stop the steal group fined: "no competent evidence of voter fraud based on non-citizen voter registration"

The Washington Supreme Court ordered nonprofit Washington Election Integrity Coalition United to pay $9,588.80 and its attorney, Virginia Shogren, to pay $18,795.90.

The sanctions stem from a petition Shogren filed on behalf of the group in October 2021 with the state Supreme Court that alleged Governor Jay Inslee and other officials sought to actively register non-citizens to vote. To support its claims, the group's petition includes an affidavit describing a statement from a retired state Department of Licensing employee who said she witnessed department employees registering non-citizens to vote.

The state's high court dismissed the group's petition, saying it "offers no competent evidence of voter fraud based on non-citizen voter registration."
"Attorneys and organizations who attack our democracy and abuse our legal system must face accountability," Ferguson said in a statement. "We will continue fighting to protect our elections from these baseless lawsuits that push 'the Big Lie.'"

Ferguson, a Democrat, also said he would file a bar complaint against Shogren.

RSBN opened with two hosts, including Donald Trump’s attorney Christina Bobb. Bobb was in the news earlier in the week as having signed off on the FBI’s removal of material at Mar-a-Lago, but the role on Saturday was familiar to her: she used to be a host on One America News. Bobb and RSBN’s other host interviewed two prominent Arizona elected officials before “The Pit” even began: Republican secretary of state nominee Mark Finchem and gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake.

Lake was also the event’s first speaker. Well, after the man who offered the invocation. He expressed his hope that the “communist spirit that’s trying to destroy our nation … would hang on the own gallows that they built.”

Finally, it was time for Phillips and his colleague Catherine Engelbrecht to prove the doubters wrong. The result? The announcement of a website Open.ink, at which they promised to dump the drop-box surveillance video they obtained from states and documents from various election lawsuits.

“The ‘pulling of the ripcord’ is Open.ink,” Phillips said. There was no announcement that Open.ink would also include the cellphone geolocation data that Phillips claimed showed the existence of all of the mules in the first place. It’s hard to see what is there, since if you visit at this point, you’re quickly redirected to a sign-up sheet that asks you to create an account that must be approved before you can move forward. But you can catch a glimpse of the underlying site, which includes this appeal.

after a ton of hype claiming they'd fill in the missing data from 2000 Mules, there was nothing... and 2000 Mules has already been utterly debunked by anyone other than maga-cultists and grifter ex-presidents&his crew

phillips and engelbrecht were left awkwardly announcing:
“And that really I think is …” Engelbrecht said, looking at Phillips — her demeanor indicating uncertainty about taking the next step.

“ … the end of ‘mules,’ we’re done!” Phillips replied with affected enthusiasm.

“The end of ‘mules!’ ” Engelbrecht added. “End scene. We’re done.”
