Republican election results denier running for Champaign County Clerk

Posted in:

* The Champaign County Clerk’s office has had more than its share of problems since Aaron Ammons was elected. But instead of nominating someone who could fix the problems, the Republicans went with this guy

GOP county clerk candidate Terrence Stuber told The News-Gazette in August, “I don’t know,” when asked if Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.

After that remark, Aaron Ammons, a Democrat and the incumbent clerk, accused Stuber of being “unqualified, ill-informed, and unprepared to serve.” […]

However, [Stuber] remains skeptical about the 2020 election process.

“We know they stopped counting in Georgia, we know they stopped counting in Arizona,” Stuber said. “These are all different places and they may not even be…all of them. Who knows? I wasn’t in the Brookens building (the administrative building for Champaign County government) or in the election center. Champaign County may have stopped counting. I don’t know.”

David Becker, election security expert for CBS News, called Stuber’s claim “completely false.”

“It’s documented that they kept counting votes diligently until all were counted, in those states and every other one,” Becker, who founded the Center for Election Innovation and Research, a non-partisan group that works with and supports election officials, said. “And that’s how they’ve always done it, including in 2016.”

Anybody know of any other deniers running for county clerk in this state?

  1. Candidate Linda Andreas in Madison County. Just check her FB posts. Again, with an almost non-existent Democratic Party in Madison County she may very well win.

    A real treat.

  3. ==We know they stopped counting in Georgia, we know they stopped counting in Arizona==

    Absolutely, positively false. It’s scary beyond scary who some of the people running for positions that are in charge of elections.

  4. Ammons has been an absolute mess as county clerk. And between him and his wife and their seeming want to take over the local Democratic Party I was genuinely prepared to vote against him out of principle.

    Welp. So much for that.

  5. “We know they stopped counting…”
    Yes; because the counting was completed multiple times and the results didn’t change, Mr. Stuber.
    Trump is STILL no longer president.

  6. And when Trump thought he was ahead he was screaming about how he *wanted* them to stop counting. If they’re going to fabricate a conspiracy theory they should at least get their story straight.
