"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election" — said Attorney General William Barr.

 Speaking to AP News. 
The issues Trump’s campaign and its allies have pointed to are typical in every election: Problems with signatures, secrecy envelopes and postal marks on mail-in ballots, as well as the potential for a small number of ballots miscast or lost. But they’ve also requested federal probes into the claims....

Barr didn’t name [Sidney] Powell specifically but said: “There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that,” Barr said.

If I see a fellow selling high end stereo equipment out of the back of a van, I might assume that it's stolen goods even though I have no actual proof beyond my supposition. And if the authorities refuse to investigate this fellow for whatever reason, does that mean that no crime occurred?

Adams solution to this outrageous incompetence on all sides is hard to swallow.

I’m a retired programmer, so I know just how astonishing this failure to establish this audit function is in such a comprehensive and important program, but the reality is that both Republican and Democratic governors allowed this to happen.

I’m still struggling to believe that something this outrageously stupid could have happened on this scale. We literally have no way to verify the outcome of this election. As Adams says, we can’t even say for certain that an election took place.

Adams recommends that we just go with Biden to avoid burning the country down. The election can’t be redone. So, swallow hard, allow Biden to take office, and make sure that this level of incredible incompetence never happens again.

Overturning an election is a very serious step that no court or legislature will take lightly. Red flags are a starting point for investigation, not a conclusion. So there's lots of red flags and lots of accusations built around those red flags, but there needs to be actual hard evidence to stop Biden's inauguration. That could still happen, but it hasn't yet.

We can't dismiss Barr's opinion just because we don't like it. Everyone here knows he voted for Trump.

Suckers and losers.

"...[T]here will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20 of January - a lot of things." And with that, Donald Trump was unquestionably correct. It's just that none of them will be leading to his inauguration on that date.

This is all better than I had imagined. Much better than I had hoped. The sheer lunacy of the post-election wallowing. How Trump is driving himself directly out of the Republican Party and into a new pure-conspiracy Trump Party. Shameless and completely psychotic.

If they were really trying to persuade the public that this election was real and not a lie, they would do many things that have not been done. One of which would be to go through and address each of the many pieces of evidence that have accumulated that this election was fraudulent.

But then that's not the point of this exercise. This election has always been a brazen, contemptuous farce. It has always been about kicking people in the face that believe in democracy, honesty, and fair play.

I don't know who is running things -- it certainly isn't Joe Biden -- but I fear it's our deep state.

OldManRick said...

I'd be interested in a legal opinion on how statistical evidence is handled.

Statistically there multiple indicators of greater than 3 sigma activity including turnout levels in democratically controlled precincts, the bell-weather counties, the sharp increase in no down ballot votes only in swing states, the changes in rejection rates for mail in ballots, outliers in gaussian distributions of precinct data, and comparisons to Obama and Hillary past performance. If the numerical ones of these were all truncated to a three sigma variation favor of Biden instead of the current high sigma variant, it would mean a Trump victory. Down ballot voting alone might do it.

From a mathematician point of view these are definite indicators that sometime is badly amiss but they seem to be ignored from a lawyer's point of view. If this were a published study on anything else, it would fail all reviews. It seems to me that Lawyers only can work from bottom's up to prove a case.

An interesting look at the election was provided by Monster Hunter Nation who asked fraud investigators their opinions on the election. Their answer was a resounding," Hell yes something in wrong."

RMc said...

Yes, but it was absolutely, hopelessly and irredeemably fucked in favour of the good guys, so it's OK.

It is

fprintf(fp, "ballot#, {votes}, time date stamp");

fclose(fp);

to create and add to an audit log.

The only reason not to do this on an electronic voting machine is to commit fraud.

All I got out of this news is, if Barr is telling the truth, the cheaters were very good at what they did.

Now, I know you are kidding. Partisan ?

Have you ever heard of the "Bloody Eighth" in Indiana 1984?

In the ’84 contest, one of the closest congressional races in history, McIntyre, 30, and McCloskey, 47, ended up in a virtual tie that came down to whether a handful of ballots would be validated by election officials. McIntyre was first declared the winner by Indiana’s Republican secretary of state, but Democrats cried foul and the Democratically controlled U.S. House refused to seat him.

For a time, both McIntyre and McCloskey drew congressional pay, but neither was officially seated. Finally, after months of ballot recounts, the House voted in May, 1985, to declare McCloskey the winner by four votes out of 233,000 cast, approving the recommendation of a Democratically controlled House task force sent to Indiana to count the ballots.

Republicans were outraged by what they claimed was the theft of the seat, and the GOP House delegation walked out of the Capitol when McCloskey was finally seated.


You don't know Partisan until you deal with Democrats.

Shouting Thomas said...

It boils down to this. We know BLM and Antifa, the Democrats’ storm troopers, will burn our cities down if the results are overturned, so we have no choice but go allow Biden to take office.

The Democrats have successfully blackmailed us in to a corner, as they intended.

"So, swallow hard, allow Biden to take office, and make sure that this level of incredible incompetence never happens again."

If you could trust the Democrats to do what's best of the country, that would arguably be a reasonable approach. But history shows that all they care about are the Democrats getting/keeping power. Just like when the Republicans go along with a "one-time amnesty" for immigrants, with the promise of the Democrats to fix the immigration issues ...

You'd think that a supposedly Republican person such as Chuck claims to be would be alarmed at Democrat vote fraud on a scale that would prevent any Republican from ever winning.

But then, come to think of it, Chuck hasn't claimed to be a Republican for a while, has he?

He would join Inga on the front lines at the concentration camps, pulling the "Zylon B" lever for every Trump voter if he could. We all know it.

More broadly speaking, the sheer hatred coming from leftists generally is appalling. My local paper, in their story about the Supreme Court slapping down Cuomo's religious bigotry, is filled with leftists who are openly saying that as long as you can say a prayer in your basement you have all the freedom of religion and worship you need--and that government can ban anything more than that. The hatred, derision, and animus is astounding. It's like reading Inga when she talks about killing Republicans.

Achilles said...

It is a total mystery why Dominion Voting Machines do not produce simple audit logs:

Stenstrom says that in Delaware County he “witnessed unsupervised access by a vendor representing Dominion during which the vendor apparently violated election system certification protocols and inserted jump drives to download and update the aggregation machines counting the vote.”

Stenstrom says that he witnessed election officials violating protocols by breaking the seal on the machine jump drives and comingling them. He believes that this reflects an intentional effort to prevent audits to accurately determine the count.

“This conduct as well violates certification protocols. This evidence joins evidence from Georgia indicating a dominion vendor actually removed the hard drive from an aggregator and took it home with him, thus breaking the chain of custody and undermining the integrity of the count,” Amistad Project said.

tom said...

Wow, man. The conspiracy just goes deeper and deeper. I bet Barr is a sleeper agent. Many years ago, the High Council of Liberals and Communists foresaw that Donald Trump would win reelection in a landslide in 2020, so they trained Barr for just this moment. It's been a front this whole time!

Qwinn said...

I've made a lot of comments the last few weeks about the tactic the Left used - McCarthyism - to infiltrate every institution in the country. The tactic will win 100% political control of an institution in a single generation, and they've been doing it for 3, with absolutely no resistance because the Left spent the entire time screaming that McCarthyism was the worst thing ever in history, and surely they wouldn't be such hypocrites.

This is the result, where every single person someone like Trump even has to choose from for positions like the USSC or AG is at least 90% chance of being compromised.

And that there are NO good "rank and file" members of the FBI and DOJ. Even conservatives have bought that con. It's bullshit. Every single last agent of these departments was chosen by their superiors for a single quality: whether or not they would prosecute important leftist crimes, whether by loyalty or blackmail.

The Republican Party *might* be slightly less infiltrated than the FBI, but not by much. Perhaps only 90%. I'm probably being optimistic.

Anyone believe me now? Has a single thing come out of the DOJ or FBI or the GOPe in the last, hell, 30 years that amounts to evidence the extent of the infiltration?

If Trump ultimately prevails in even one Supreme Court case, Barr's reputation will rightly be shattered-----even if Trump doesn't get the necessary Electoral College total.

And has Rudy has pointed out, there's no evidence that the DOJ has investigated anything regarding the election.

There is no draining the swamp without bringing down and recreating every institution with firm guards against future leftist infiltration. Otherwise, we are Venezuela.

As Kathryn noted @2:41, Barr also noted that Dunham is now a Special Counsel. That's good news, except that it isn't news. That occurred on October 16th, except no one mentioned it at the time. If a Russian agent had asked that the news be kept quiet, that would be considered an event that affected the outcome of the election, but if our own government hides this information; it is just a few seconds in a news cycle.

As we learned in Washington state in 2004, it's obvious fraud occurred. Counting more ballots (as happened in certain precincts in King County) than registered voters is a sure indicator.

The problem is proving how it happened. The left knows this. And that's why they do it.

So, they've chosen to throw out the ballot box. Three guesses as to what comes next.

McCarthyism?

that's a word I see bandied about frequently and I never have any idea what it means.

What did Senator Joe McCarthy do? He investigated government employees who held security clearances, many at the very tip-toppiest level.

In all, as far as I can tell, quite rightly. We have since found that most, (All? Anyone have any names that were not?) were real, actual, security risks who should never have gotten clearances.

Perhaps another word would work better in your comment.

Qwinn said...

John Henry, sorry, I've made that point clear in my previous posts. For this purpose I define McCarthyism as merely the act of hiring and firing based on political viewpoint. Leftists spent the last 70 years raging that the "Hollywood Blacklist" was the worst thing ever... and then spent the next 70 years almost completely blacklisting any conservative in Hollywood.

Same with academia, lawyers guilds, HR departments, whatever. If there's 9 people on a hiring committee, and only 2 are communists, but the 7 non communists hire based on merit only and the 2 communists propose and vote only for other communists, within a few years they'll increase their number to 3. Then 4. Once they hit 5, they'll have fellow travelers in all 9 positions within a year.

It's an unbeatable tactic, if the other side has been browbeaten for 70 years into thinking that taking politics into consideration when hiring is the gravest of all sins.

N9, I don't think McCarthy was wrong. Obviously not. Communists have spent the last 70 years proving how dangerous and untrustworthy they are, and how not firing every last single one from every important institution is why we are about to lose the Republic.

Hmmm... It has been alleged that some Governors made deals with China, including purchasing large amounts of Covid supplies with state funds that were never delivered. Not all Democrats, unfortunately. The Dominion voting system in Georgia was bought quite recently. Almost hastily, one might say. Of course, the two offices the Soros machine have been targeting are DAs and Secretaries of State. The latter have a lot of say in election equipment purchases.

So far I have seen testimony from at least two mathematicians who have pointed out consistent patterns of large vote switching and also repeated improbable ratios of absentee votes coming in for Biden and Trump. Improbable in that they are statistically impossible. Is Barr saying they haven't investigated those anomalies or that they haven't found the source of the programming fraud yet?

You've probably seen and agreed with the following (from Iowahawk, I think):

1. Find a respected institution
2. Kill it
3. Gut it
4. Wear its carcass as a skinsuit, while demanding respect

That's exactly what I'm saying they do, but expand on it. Conducting the hiring/firing policy I described above, when met with no resistance, is something any and every useful idiot commie stooge can manage. "Only hire people on the team, comrade? I can manage that!" Once the hiring committee has 9 stooges on jt, It takes no brains or skill or merit at all to get hired by the stooges. Just commie lotalty... and they create life shattering blackmail on anyone not on the team who slips through. The first and most important Clinton scandal, FBI Filegate, in 1993, made that a breeze.

What do you think was on Hillary's email server and phones that needed to be wiped with a cloth and crushed with hammers? It was her blackmail material on... everyone, on the team or otherwise.

The best chance we have at this point is that Trump got a copy of that material somewhere along the way.

“Who to believe?”

“U.S. military officials did not mince words about the veracity of McInerney’s claims. “The allegations are false,” a USASOC spokesman told Military Times. The command has not had a fatal incident since two soldiers died in a helicopter crash in California this August, and the most recent Special Forces combat deaths resulted from an insider attack that killed two in Afghanistan on Feb. 8. An Army spokesman also denied this theory when reached by Military Times, describing the allegations as “definitely false.”

Achilles, nothing you have claimed has been successfully investigated or litigated. You keep promising a knockout blow coming mañana, but tomorrow never comes. All the issues you list are certainly known to Trump's team of litigators, yet they're not presenting any of it in court. Instead, Rudy G keeps having press conferences and phony kangaroo hearings. Now AG Barr has thrown in the towel.

You still have State legeslatures and SCROTUS to weigh in, but reading the tea leaves says to me that there is nothing to the wild claims.

Jupiter said...

The point that requires reiteration is that on Election Night, vote counters in five large cities in states where Trump was winning suddenly stopped counting votes. Why? Unless they can explain why, the presumption is that they needed time to figure out how they were going to steal the election. Once they had made their plans, they started again, and suddenly Biden was ahead. This was fraud. Why should the rest of us believe otherwise? There is no evidence that the pause was not concerted. There is no evidence that actual votes lead to Biden's lead. They were the ones controlling the process, and they need to demonstrate, conclusively, that they followed the law.

Achilles, nothing you have claimed has been successfully investigated or litigated. You keep promising a knockout blow coming mañana, but tomorrow never comes. All the issues you list are certainly known to Trump's team of litigators, yet they're not presenting any of it in court. Instead, Rudy G keeps having press conferences and phony kangaroo hearings. Now AG Barr has thrown in the towel.

You still have State legeslatures and SCROTUS to weigh in, but reading the tea leaves says to me that there is nothing to the wild claims.

I just hope you are not poisoning your children with this nonsense. The saddest thing about Leah Remini's Scientology series is how the parents of that cult drag their kids into the madness vortex resulting in permanent psychological damage and worse... much worse.



You are not acting like a confident person Howard. Corporate Censorship is not an argument.

You haven't rebutted a single point I made.

Ever.

There is no logic or reason to your arguments. Only a claim to power. And every day more evidence comes out in these hearings. More witnesses come forward. Cybersecurity experts come forward with information I have expertise to understand.

There is literally no good reason for the Dominion Voting Machines to not have an audit log.

Not a single one.

Video of USPS contract driver describes carrying ballots from New York to Pennsylvania.

Jesse Morgan: In total I saw 24 gaylords, or large cardboard containers of ballots, loaded into my trailer. These gaylords contained plastic trays, I call them totes or trays of ballots stacked on top of each other. All the envelopes were the same size. I saw the envelopes had return addresses… They were complete ballots.”

Jesse went on to say that he sat in Harrisburg for hours and when he was told to leave the supervisor at the post office would not give him a slip or an overtime slip so he could get paid. Jesse said the manager-supervisor was “kinda rude.”

Jesse’s testimony today revealed that employees at the United States Post Office were in on the conspiracy to steal the votes.

This testimony is devastating. This girl (very cute, which helps in the watching, cause it's long, and it does take her a bit to get to some *really huge points*) was a freelance IT worker hired by Dominion Voting Systems to work the vote tabulation. She was there for *twenty seven hours*. I find her utterly credible.

Everything she relates is completely plausible and utterly horrifying. The Senators try like hell to focus on bullshit details, but she answers all their questions, and by the end they appear to feel obligated to pretend that they'll look into it.

(Among many other things, she says she didn't see a single Trump vote in working the vote tabulation for 27 hours).

Litigating in actual Court is hard, Achilles. Bob Mueller laid out a nice legal case against Trump the Russian agent, but you can't prosecute a sitting President in court.

The difference is:

1. There are hundreds of eyewitness statements signed under penalty of perjury supporting the claim that republican poll observers were kicked out of poll counting stations.

2. Multiple whistle blowers have come out with descriptive and compelling testimony about USPS misdeeds.

3. The Dominion Voting Machines were designed specifically to commit election fraud. I could personally build and code a machine that would produce audit logs and count votes with very basic code. I could make it so the voting machine would save a non-volatile log you could not erase or change that could completely rebuild an election vote by vote.

4. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has come out with rulings that you cannot sue before the election because there was no tort yet, and they have followed this up with rulings that court filings after the election were not done in a timely manner.

5. There is no way that Biden managed to win fewer than 500 counties and got 80 million votes. The vociferousness that democrats have shown to avoid audits and investigations just confirms they are dirty.

6. There was no good reason to shut down vote counting at 3:00AM in 6 states all at the same time and then to update the counts at 4:30AM with ballots you said you were not counting while multiple people saw ballots being trucked in in mass after poll workers were "sent home."

7. You. Inga, readering. Others. None of you have posted a single reasoned statement. You are all a mix of "lalalalala" and "neener neener." You re turds. Pawns. Losers.

Read your own posts Howard. Actually read them.

It's great fun reading through the redacted Order and Memorandum to try to figure whose pardon (or perhaps commutation, as I read it) is being investigated.

Think of all of the people of wealth who've gotten something -- a pardon or a commutation -- out of the Trump White House:
Conrad Black
Roger Stone
Michael Milken
Judith Negron
Ted Suhl
Sholom Rubashkin
Paul Pogue
Edward DeBartolo Jr.

About a month ago, I drove my Mom to the ER here in Western Wisconsin. She was feeling sick, no appetite, and she is in her 80s.
They gave her a covid test, and she was positive.
The next day her husband, my step father, aged 82, had a cough, so I drove him to the ER for a covid test. The results were positive.
The next week I spent a lot time with my sister. She was helping me paint the interior of my house. After the first day, she felt bad so she went in for test. Covid positive.
But wait! Since sister was out, I spent a few days with my brother helping him winterize his cars.
Just before Thanksgiving he & his wife felt sick. They got tested, covid positive. His wife ended up in the ER with both lungs full of fluid, yep, double pneumonia.
Meanwhile I was not feeling so good. I had developed a persistent cough. No fever or any other symptoms, just a persistent cough. So I went in for a covid test.
Result? Negative. I ain't got covid. What I have is bronchitis, and so I am on levofloxacin and 20 mg of prednisone twice a day, which is probably why I am writing so much.

Here's the real long and short of it:

If there weren't evidence of widespread voter fraud to be found, Democrats would want the vote to be thoroughly investigated, just to prove how crazy Trump is.

That really does tell us all we need to know. And that's not illegitimate. Criminal behavior does really prove criminal intent.

The point of having an agreed to election process with laws and rules is that when it is over everyone accepts the results.

Democrats and not a few Republicans broke those laws. Now we will not accept the results.

That is not a difficult thing to understand. It is part of having a high trust society. Everyone in a high trust society has a responsibility to maintain that trust in the institutions of society. It is part of the social contract.

The doc I saw today was convinced that I have OCPD because of some note another doc wrote on my records years ago to explain an enlarged heart (which I got from working at high altitude for three decades). I told the doc that, told him I had no problem breathing, just a cough, but the doc insisted I need an inhaler.

Scott Adams says that Artificial Intelligence may have already taken over the operation of all of our essential systems.

And we wouldn’t know it.

Clearly, this comment thread proves that Natural Intelligence no longer exists.

So I called the Wisconsin Election Commission today and had a conversation with a man there. I told him as a Wisconsin resident I was appalled at being again at the center of a voting controversy and we discussed the statistical impossibility of the areas in Milwaukee and Madison going in the middle of the night in several areas for Biden. He said "you don't want Biden to win that's why you are discussing this." I responded, no, I want to know that we have accurate votes - if the majority in our country want him, so be it...but from everything I've seen that seems completely unlikely. His response - prove it. That's the Wisconsin Election Commissions response. Prove it. So here's where I am - a middle aged semi retired realtor. I've been a builder all my life - set up incubators for small business - help low income people rent, helped children in Milwaukee at risk. I'm Catholic and faithful. I'm done. What does that say when I am feeling that our country is over? That I need to protect myself and my family rather than others? It's against everything I have ever felt or done. But I see the writing on the wall. The Democrats on this blog think this is funny, or they feel justified in mocking people who are concerned about this - but truly, I think they are so misled. Right now their tribe needs them, but after this election, no longer. Do they not see that? I don't think I'm much different from most - I just have the freedom to express my thoughts without economic consequenses. When you are dealing with people who are supposed to guard the public trust and they treat you as an enemy - where do you go from there?

My 85 year old father died! He died! It was before the Corona Cooties thing, so no one paid attention. I paid attention because he was my Dad. When I was a sprout, He dragged me into the surf on a New Jersey beach in 1958. I was scared at the time, but he hoisted me on his shoulders and told me to BE NOT AFRAID. I was afraid though. The waves came in and my Father stood against those waves. He calmly said, Be Not Afraid.

Be Not Afraid.

Well, maybe. But you can't be a pendant with nothing hanging.
