Can we disqualify Main and Taylor from holding public office

Main also provided campaign advice and guidance to the group whose members have been infiltrating nonpartisan positions from school boards to transit districts. Let’s not forget that Main uses his platform as a commissioner to bash opposing political views at commission meetings. Does this qualify as aid and comfort to the enemy?

Is Rod Taylor Studiously Obtuse?

Is Rod Taylor Studiously Obtuse?

…the unapologetic Taylor dares to propose that the county clerk should be under the thumb of the county commission rather than answerable to the voters. In no way should the studiously obtuse traitorous commissioner or his fellow election denier, Bob Main, have any sway over our elections.
