Demons, and witchcraft, and masks, oh my…

Stupidity may be inherited, ignorance is a personal choice.

A former republican candidate for State Auditor and Governor:

Saundra McDowell is at Walmart O Fallon – Highway K.
15h · O’Fallon, MO ·
I’m not afraid to take a stand!! Are you??
I walked in Walmart tonight without a mask … and I refuse to wear a mask anywhere I go from NOW ON unless I choose to! That’s my right… as it is yours!!
But really…. this is not about masks… masks are just a symbol of deception and oppression. Its compliance training for what’s to come. It’s about control and instilling fear in America. Fear is not of the Lord, but of the enemy. Despair is the absence of faith! This is all part of a demonic ritual to get rid of our individual God-given rights. BLM just said it… it’s a spiritual battle… they are chanting to dead spirits practicing witchcraft. Our bodies… our faces… are created in the image of God. We shall not veil our faces spiritually or practically. 2 Corinthians 3:13-16
Our country was founded on freedom and liberty for all… and God was the author of our nation and that freedom and liberty. Not people! God! Their faith in God!! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!! 2 Corinthians 3:17

Saundra McDowell (r) is running for governor.

Peak right wingnut:

Saundra McDowell @mcdowellformo
What do these two patriots have in common? The Deep State tried and failed to take them both down.

Justice needs to be served. If elected I will establish a task force to root out bad actors in Jefferson City and have the same team look into the ousting of our former Governor.

First, you’ve got to believe that the Jefferson City theatre guild will have a turf issue with this.

Second, pass the popcorn, this will almost make it worthwhile to cross over to the republican primary.

The republican candidate for State Auditor is well on the way to setting a Missouri record when it comes to a dollars to votes ratio in campaign fundraising and spending for a statewide candidate from a major party.

Via the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C171374: Saundramcdowellformissouri.Com
Committee Type: Candidate
3854 South Ave
Springfield Mo 65807
Party Affiliation: Republican
Established Date: 12/06/2017

So far, so good.

You can feel the enthusiasm of the six individuals who contributed the maximum of $2,600.00 to the campaign in the quarter ending on September 30th.

Kansas City Star, missouri, Saundra McDowell, social media, St. Louis Post Dispatch, State Auditor, Twitter

Two major newspapers in Missouri, The Kansas City Star and the St. Louis Post Dispatch, have published stories on some of the financial and resume issues in republican State Auditor candidate Saundra McDowell’s record.

Saundra McDowell responded via Twitter:

Saundra McDowell @mcdowellformo
The KC Star (Hancock) & The Post (Erickson) are desperately trying to help their favorite Dem candidate get re-elected. So they resort to smears & fake hit pieces on my campaign. But I will not be deterred, I will keep fighting to deliver the TRUTH to Missourians! #MOAuditor
12:19 PM – 6 Oct 2018

Nothing on the substance, eh?

That’ll be good for at least a million votes.

debate, missouri, Nicole Galloway, Saundra McDowell, State Auditor

And that is certainly not a qualification to be Missouri State Auditor. At least in some circles.

There was a debate Friday between State Auditor Nicole Galloway and Saundra McDowell, the republican nominee.

Auditor candidates Galloway, McDowell trade jabs at debate

[….]
…Galloway, an accountant, noted McDowell’s personal financial troubles and questioned whether McDowell meets the state requirement that she reside in the state 10 years before seeking the office.

“She’s been sued seven times in the last five years over unpaid bills,’’ said Galloway, who also asserted that McDowell had embellished her record of investigating fraud while she worked in the state attorney general’s office.

McDowell, who’s a lawyer, accused Galloway of failing to investigate some fraud allegations, of being late with audits and ignoring the state’s open-records laws.

“If she’s not a watchdog, she’s just a dog,” McDowell said…
[….]

Yeah, that last one sounds brilliant.

State Auditor Nicole Galloway (D) [2018 file photo].

This happened in the primaries for State Auditor, via the Missouri Secretary of State web site:

State of Missouri – Primary Election, August 07, 2018
Unofficial Results
as of 8/18/2018 8:57:31 PM
State Auditor
3228 of 3228 Precincts Reported

Kevin M. Roach Republican 143,745 24.294%
David Wasinger Republican 158,071 26.715%
Paul Curtman Republican 97,055 16.403%
Saundra McDowell Republican 192,814 32.587%
Party Total: 591,685

Nicole Galloway Democratic 515,398 100.000%
Party Total: 515,398

[emphasis added]

Saundra McDowell (r)? Who? Oh…

One question GOP candidate for Missouri auditor faces: Is she even eligible to run?

…McDowell faces questions about whether she’s even eligible to run. She’s also the subject of behind-the-scenes grumblings by Republicans, who worry that red flags in her past weren’t vetted during the primary and could undercut the party’s chances of ousting Galloway this fall.
[….]
…Galloway unleashed a blistering attack targeting a series of legal judgments against McDowell related to unpaid debt. McDowell has dismissed Galloway’s criticisms, saying the race “should be about the issues, not personal attacks.”
[….]

Alrighty then.

Legal judgements on unpaid debt? For a candidate for State Auditor. Think about that for just a second.

Then, there’s the matter of campaign fundraising, via the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C171374: Saundramcdowellformissouri.Com
Committee Type: Candidate
3854 South Ave
Springfield Mo 65807
Party Affiliation: Republican
Established Date: 12/06/2017
[….]
Information Reported On: 2018 – 8 Day Before Primary Election-8/7/2018
Beginning Money on Hand $1,522.31
Monetary Receipts + $3,003.00
Monetary Expenditures – $1,356.60
Contributions Made – $0.00
Other Disbursements – $0.00
Subtotal $1,646.40
Ending Money On Hand $3,168.71

Well, that can probably be explained somehow.

Compared to:

C111091: Nicole Galloway For Missouri
Committee Type: Candidate
Po Box 11723
St Louis Mo 63105
Party Affiliation: Democrat
Established Date: 04/20/2011
[….]
Information Reported On: 2018 – 8 Day Before Primary Election-8/7/2018
Beginning Money on Hand $1,084,778.35
Monetary Receipts + $45,280.00
Monetary Expenditures – $47,701.98
Contributions Made – $0.00
Other Disbursements – $950.00
Subtotal ($3,371.98)
Ending Money On Hand $1,081,406.37

There certainly is a big difference.
