Snopes says the story is not true - which probably means it IS. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/maricopa-ballots-chicken-barn-fire/
This fire was actual and occurred on March 6, 2021: https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/07/us/hickmans-family-farms-fires-chickens-killed/index.html
Anyone else think it strange that CNN would carry a story about a burning chicken farm in AZ?
well, if you can't arrest them for voter fraud, maybe we can get them for animal cruelty! was there no fire sprinkler installed?
was there no fire sprinkler installed?
Great question.
Actual report from local news: https://www.12news.com/article/news/2-barns-burned-in-hickman-egg-farm-fire/75-aa7e6a0b-e64f-41b6-80b7-ca02ba185304
Always unverified with y'all, it kills the reliability. Just post something once you can back it up.
Normally I would agree with you, as I think that happens too often around here, but this was reported in the main stream press.
Couple reasons why I think this could actually be true, in addition to the fact that there WAS a fire:
1) Snopes came out and denied it.
2) CNN did a story on the fire (as in "the deed is done")
3) As @TSE1 pointed out, where was the sprinkler system? No way would you have an operation like that without a sprinkler system. Would insurance even pay that?
4) The fact that this story involves ballots shredded for chicken nesting? Who the heck would think of that as a made up story? Stacks of ballots in a barn? Yes - that could be a made-up story - But something as specific as they were used for chicken nesting? That has a ring of truth to it.
I normally don't post things like this - but in this case I did bc I sincerely believe there could be something to it (and I also clearly labeled it as "unverified" - not like I was trying to mislead people)
My brother, in that case you have more of a solid case than I first thought. I'm just frustrated at the distractions.
I gotcha. Good points.
Well then he shouldn't say it's unverified!
I said it was unverified bc I could not prove that the fire was intentionally set to destroy illegal ballots.
