Catherine Engelbrecht Is In Jail Today
For the past decade, I have followed the antics of Catherine Engelbrecht, a woman who began her career as a voting critic right here in my neck of the woods. We were neighbors in a small rural community that shared a county commissioner when she appeared on the wings of Lady Vote Hack to lead something she called True the Vote and I called Screw the Vote.
We butted heads many times over the years as she made it clear that her purpose was to become an election denier and make a poop load of money doing it. She is pretty, blonde, and plenty terrified of anyone who isn’t, and can lie convincingly with a straight face. So, she soared in Republican circles.
Here’s pretty much a semi- complete breakdown of the years of coverage I gave Ms. Engelbrecht over the years, including when she called my editor and told her that she would never interview with our newspaper again. My favorite was when we were able to prove that her favored Republican candidate for local county commissioner voted twice – once in Texas and once in Pennsylvania – in three elections.
Recently she’s was hired and paid $2 million to prove there was voter fraud in the 2020 election. She took the money and did diddle squat. She got sued for that.
And now she’s up to her eyebrows in a civil suit, resulting in her being hauled off to the pokey in federal court for refusing to identify a source in a defamation suit. Most rational people believe the source does not exist. She’s using it to raise money.
She was sent to jail by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt, a Ronald Reagan appointee.
And yeah, I’m feeling pretty prissy about it.
The fact she’s raising money on Truth Social shows how sick the GOP has become.
1Karma Bites!
2Karma be a beyotch sometimes. Heh-heh.
3While we are on the subject of ballot harvesting, a politician here in Anchorage attempted to do exactly that in an municipal election earlier this year. And now Jamie Allard is running for the state legislature. Here is her Twitter offering to be a mule:

She is, as you have already guessed, a hard right Republican. Which means nobody is going to do anything about her attempted criminal conspiracy.
4Thank you, thank you, I was really in need of good news today and Juanita delivered. Thank you!
5Here is wishing she stays true to her word and never gives up any names. And here is to supporting the judge who placed her in jail until she coughs up the names.

7Nice to have good news every once in a while. (to go along with an Astro win!)
8May this Karma come to visit each and every one of the Republican election deniers and all of their deplorable base!
9Juanita, honey, Engelbrecht is decompensating at a pitch that matches DePape. I only hope that somewhere in that jail there is an MD with a specialty in psych. She definitely needs meds. I think even she realizes it. Thats why she fights so hard against reality.
10Well that’s another Real American ™ going to jail. Very satisfying. I remember when you reported that your editor got called.
Problem is that the list of Republicans that this should be happening to is really long, and with Engelbrecht being checked off I think the list can’t be more than about 5% done.
11And it is a no bail charge, so she can’t buy her way out.
12Didn’t slow her up on fundraising on it though. Grifters gotta grift.
13I heard that she may be arrested last Friday and thought, “Texas and True the Vote”? NO WAY.
I was shocked yesterday!
14In a good way.
