'Too dumb?' Trump ally Sidney Powell roasted by elections official for false fraud claim

Sidney Powell, a former Trump attorney who pleaded guilty in connection with attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, just got called out by an election official for spreading false claims of voter fraud associated with the upcoming contest in 2024.

Powell, often referred to as "the Kraken" because of her promise to unleash such a creature in her bid to keep Trump in power, on Friday posted what she purportedly thought was evidence of voter fraud efforts coming from Maricopa County, Arizona.

"HERE WE GO," she wrote, including what appears to be a long headline from a right-wing news site. "Maricopa County is Sending Phony Mail-In Ballots AGAIN for Presidential Preference Election - One Voter Receives TWO Ballots With Her Name, Another Receives Ballot for Fulton County, GA Resident."

The problem is that the claim Powell spread had already been debunked by a county official several days before that. Stephen Richer, who is Maricopa County Recorder, responded publicly to the woman who received two ballots and explained that it was because she changed her address on the final day of registration.

"Because early ballots must go out on Feb. 21, your Chandler ballot was already set to go out, and so it did," he wrote. "Then we sent out a new ballot to your Tempe address when we processed your voter registration modification."

Because Richer had already explained the situation, he took issue with Powell bringing it up again.

"Lol," Richer wrote. "Of course you post this well after it’s been explained / debunked."

He then added some questions to determine her potential motive:

"Genuinely curious; are you? 1) too lazy to do 5 minutes of research? 2) too dumb? 3) too immoral? 4) too invested?"
