"Ironically, Smith is also a member of the House’s Municipal Oversight and Elections Committee, where he decried unproven election fraud in Maricopa County, and has even made jokes accusing county officials of mail-in ballot signature fraud on social media."

It's not ironic, they always project their own crimes onto others.

@TucsonSentinel Indeed the republicans sure get caught cheating an awful lot…

I can't understand why Turning Point has not had it's tax-exempt status revoked. Charlie Kirk is clearly inciting violence against LGBT people, as well.
