Semi-protected edit request on 27 August 2023[edit]

She “allegedly” attempted to overturn the 2020 election. She’s presumed innocent until proven guilty 212.123.202.115 (talk) 21:25, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Her actions are undeniable. Whether or not those actions will result in criminal culpability is a separate matter. Zaathras (talk) 21:32, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So she's still not guilty. Take off "conspiracy theorist" unless you intend to give proof every 2020 election had no errors. 2600:387:15:1D13:0:0:0:B (talk) 08:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Typo[edit]

Since there is an edit lock (understandable) please fix the typo near the end of her “charges” section. Testimony is misspelled. Makes it look a bit unprofessional. Thanks. 59.168.195.35 (talk) 19:44, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for pointing it out. Cullen328 (talk) 19:47, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Flynn sentence in fourth paragraph of lead?[edit]

This sentence in the fourth paragraph of the lead doesn't seem to flow with the preceding paragraph or the next sentence in the fourth paragraph:

"Powell claimed that Flynn was framed by a covert "deep state" operation, and has promoted personalities and slogans associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory."

I am new to this article . . . the flow just doesn't seem to work here.

Overall the lead section seems too long and doesn't flow well. Utahredrock (talk) 03:04, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just tried to unscramble it. Didn't change much wording, mainly moved sentences around. YoPienso (talk) 06:38, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Too many details are in the lead. Nothing about James Brown is in the body. Lots of work to do here, but I don't have the time. YoPienso (talk) 14:22, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

State bar of Texas arguments dismissed[edit]

The Fifth District of Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas, led by a three-judge panel, all Democrats, concluded that the State Bar of Texas’ arguments were without merit.
