Ego is at the Center of the Election Lawsuit

Okay, my little break from the blogosphere is over, time to get back to work. So here we go...

The law suit alleging that El Paso County Elections Administrator Lisa Wise tampered with the election results is stupid. But you guys don’t need me to tell you that, you already know that it is largely about sour grapes. 

It was bad enough that exactly what I said was going to happen, disgraced former State Rep Norma Chavez under-performed a madre, but she had to surrender what little dignity she had left after borrowing money from her parents who are on a fixed income and cashing in her Bitcoin, by filing this ridiculous lawsuit. 

What I’m trying to figure out is how the hell she got Enrique Garcia and John Carrillo to go along with it. 

Like many of you who chuckled when I first heard the news of the lawsuit, I said aloud, “let me guess, it was the Russians.” 

Back earlier in the election season when Chavez was doing campaign Ricardo Samaniego and Ruben Nuñez, Norma and I were at a training being held by the Democratic Party. Truth is, Norma isn’t real bright. There were more than a few times when the class was held up by Norma’s inability to do, well basically anything, on a computer. 

I should point out that there are plenty of seniors that are quite computer proficient, not sure why Norma seems to have such a problem with it. But she was complaining the whole time about how the Russians had hacked her computer. 

Seriously, she believes that. 

The reality is that Norma learned just enough about VAN to make herself look silly. I know exactly where she got the idea that the records reflected that she voted in a location she didn’t vote in, she got it from VAN. 

Someone should have told her VAN is not the official county record. Its a third-party data management system.

It was irresponsible to file a lawsuit that is completely unfounded. The lawsuit is selfish. It further undermines the public’s faith in an elective process that they don’t participate in enough as it is. All because the filers of the suit can’t wrap their heads around the fact that they lost and they lost fair and square. 

I mean think about what they are alleging in the lawsuit that they don’t want to talk about. They are alleging that Lisa Wise went in a fixed the electronic ballots to register voters in favor of Escobar. Do they offer proof? 

Nope. 

But they site the fact that VAN says Norma voted somewhere she didn’t vote, even though the county data shows the correct location, as the premise of their lawsuit. 

And it was filed on the last day possible, just like Norma’s campaign was filed on the last day possible. 

Way to go Norma. You pretend to care about poor raza, but you know who is going to be disenfranchised more by your unfounded loser lawsuit? Poor brown people. Yet another “contribution” you make to El Paso politics. 

But here is the truth that no one really wants to say out loud, so I’ll do it. This lawsuit, at its core, is all about ego. The candidates that filed this lawsuit are essentially upset that they didn’t do better. They can’t believe they did so poorly. 

I personally told at least one of them, last year, to his face that he wasn’t viable and wasn’t going to get above single digits. And guess what, he didn’t. 

Why? Its not because he’s a bad guy or wasn’t a decent candidate for the office. 

They had no base, no money, no resources, no name ID, and not enough time to overcome any of those obstacles. So of course they had a poor showing. Its completely understandable and what you would expect to be the outcome. 

When you factor in that the TV airwaves were bombarded with Escobar and Fenenbock, and the only doors that were being knocked were also being knocked by those two campaigns, of course most of the vote was going to go to those two candidates. 

Politics is timing and opportunity and as I have said repeatedly, it just wasn’t there for them. 

Their egos are what are preventing them from understanding what happened to them. They were underdogs all the way. Neither Garcia nor Carrillo had been on a ballot before. They just didn’t have a strong support base tow work with and didn’t have the ability or resources to make themselves competitive.

The suit was thrown out last week. 

Here's a screenshot of the order and on Thursday there is a sanctions hearing against all three of them for failing to do due diligence before filing the lawsuit. 

So yeah, you just can't file a frivolous lawsuit and not expect repercussions. 

************************************************

Chavez was a whole other trip. 

Chavez is a sell-out. 

Probably the biggest sell-out I can think of locally. 

If there was anyone that had the street cred to stand up to Dori Fenenbock’s constant cultural appropriation, it was Norma. 

But Norma didn’t touch her, no matter how offensive Fenenbock’s antics. 

Norma did what Norma has ALWAYS does. She attacked raza. Her entire career Norma has done that. When she goes to war, she is always attacking raza. 

And she did the dance for the rich white lady. So on top of making a fool out of herself, her ego and her uncontrollable desire to attack her own, led to her being the biggest example of a sell out this community has seen in as long as I can remember. 

The reality is that she had a poll years ago, before this “lesbian gay woman” video, that showed she wasn’t viable countywide. She ran the poll when Shapleigh’s seat opened up.

Guess what Norma, people don’t like you more now. They like you a whole hell of a lot less, and deservedly so. 

Norma is still Norma. 

She’s petty. 

She’s vile. 

She’s vindictive. 

She makes things personal. 

I guess its poetic that she got 6.66% of the vote. 

None of that has changed about her just because she quotes Jesus every now and then and takes pictures of her feet. 

And just like that old boxer analogy that I bring up every now and again, she stayed around too long and got beat like she stole something. 

As much as she doesn’t want to admit it, this election was a massive slamming of the door in her face. The voters rejected her and they rejected her at a surprising rate. 

Its called karma Norma. All those years of being a nalga to people came home to roost. 

You were the only also-ran that had name ID. So it wasn’t that the voters didn’t know you, like in the case of Garcia and Carrillo or even Tilghman.

They know you.

They just don’t like you. 

It wasn’t Vladimir Putin and Russian hackers. 

It wasn’t Lisa Wise. 

It wasn’t me. 

Hell it wasn’t even Veronica Escobar. 

It was you. 

The voters don’t like you and what you represent to them. 

But truth be told, I kinda want to see a judge order another election. If for no other reason than to revel in the glory of Norma getting even less votes after this. 

So if someone hasn’t already told you, allow me. 

You’re done Norma. 

You were a bad representative. You’re a bad person. You’re a bad consultant. 

Bye Felicia.
