"It’s going to be the same old crap, frankly. It’s going to be people coming in without direct knowledge... giving some kind of hare-brained charge that can’t be validated."

"And we’re going to continue to do this. And every time we do it, every time we do something like this, as a country, as a state, as individuals, we’re taking more people out of the system. They’re going to say, 'This is crazy, I’m not going to vote anymore.' So yeah, there’s a hell of a lot of damage going on."

Said Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, referring to the hearing about the 2020 voting irregularities scheduled for today in the Wisconsin legislature. He's quoted in The Wisconsin State Journal.

The headline isn't about the state governor and the state legislature, but about the U.S. Senator: "Sen. Ron Johnson called 'delusional scum' for considering challenge to election." I thought that was a very strange headline. People are always insulting prominent individuals, so why is the fact that somebody hurled one particular epithet the subject of a headline? If the insult-hurler isn't important enough to name in the headline, why put one nasty insult in a headline? It would be different, perhaps, if thousands of people were using the word "scum" in reference to Ron Johnson or if "scum" — like "liar" or "thief" — constituted a specific factual allegation.

But The Wisconsin State Journal decided to make an article that featured not the Governor's statement — which only goes as far as "crap" and doesn't call any person "crap" (just the hearing) — out of this tweet:
Who is Hong? The article just says she "was elected in November to represent Madison’s Downtown district." Elected to represent Madison’s Downtown district where? I had to look it up. The answer is in the state assembly. 

And why didn't The Wisconsin State Journal headline also call our attention to "45's asshole"? Hong's idea of where Johnson is crawling seems at least as newsworthy as her opinion of what he is made of. 

By the way, it's a mixed metaphor. Scum can't crawl.

I assume Johnson can both call for more scrutiny over the last election AND try to get a bill passed for COVID relief. I don't think calling Senators "scum" on Twitter is the way for State Reps to best lobby the Senators that represent their states to get things done.

I am actually aghast that governors are closing business with no relief. I'm distraught that my Dem governor isn't calling Nancy Pelosi daily, begging her to pass something to help take care of the businesses she has shut down. I'm still upset that we, as independent contractors, didn't get a dime of the unemployment we were owed in the first go-round because our governor couldn't get the unemployment system kinks worked out. BUT she does have a new Moto jacket and matching match everytime she announces she's keeping businesses closed and if everyone would have just ignored their families at Thanksgiving, she wouldn't have to do this.

They are so non-functional. It's really upsetting.

Open borders threaten our security and our economy. Democrats deny. Joe Biden is mentally challenged. Democrats deny. The Bidens are a family of grifters. Democrats deny.

Of course such discourse would come out of a downtown Madison representative. Ann, you’re surprised the Wisconsin State Journal would use such a headline? What’s with all the perplexity? Haven’t you accepted the corrupt nature of these liberal rags you read?

The real story is which Madison and Milwaukee Democrat members of the Wisconsin Executive Branch and Legislative Branch are shitting themselves today as to what is about to be sworn in public. The Milwaukee Journal is freaking out because Dan O’Donnel from WISN will testify, and the new Twitter star Bob Spindell and Dean Knudson from the Wisconsin election commission. The Journal is pissed that the GOP will not let Meagan Wolfe (Democrat Director of the Wisconsin Election Commission) and Claire Woodall-Vogg (Democrat Director of the Milwaukee Election Commission) testify and lie that everything was on the up and up.

The hearing is about the truth. Hopefully soon Ms. Wolfe and Ms. Woddall-Vogg will get to testify in court as they are part of the fraud perpetuated in Wisconsin and on the rest of the country.

Enough people are digging into the election malfeasance to uncover it if they are diligent. Same with the Hunter story. They delayed it but they can’t stop all that juicy info from surfacing eventually.

Republicans are doing the country a great service by subjecting their claims of electoral fraud to legal scrutiny. Unlike the Democrats' baseless allegations that Russia hacked actual vote totals to swing the 2016 election (allegations that two-thirds of Democrats believe), Republicans' allegations of 2020 electoral fraud are being tested in real time during the period devoted to certifying the election. When a Supreme Court that leans 6-3 Republican (including three justices Trump personally selected) issues 0-9 rulings against the Republican position, it's as definitive a judgment on the integrity of the 2020 election as we are likely to get.

For most of my lifetime, voting was done with ballots, and ballots were counted by people, or by special hardware. Not software, hardware. That process was far from fraud-proof, but there were certain controls. But those controls are gone, and what we are left with is trust. In short, I am starting to realize that for decades, American democracy has been a small, extremely valuable property sitting undefended in a lonely place at midnight. Of course someone stole it! Of course Soros bought himself some DAs and Secretaries of State! They're cheap, and effective! Of course someone, God only knows who, decided to make Biden the President! Hell, why not? What could be simpler? Yeah, the baby cries a bit, but you've still got the candy.

It is an interesting legal question. The Constitution is, in form if not in essence, a compact between the States. Setting aside the question of whether citizens have a right to honest elections in their own State, to what extent does one State have a right to honest elections in another State? EP says there is no such right. Or, more precisely, that such a right exists only if the Supreme Court chooses to assert it, and he doubts that they will. A plausible analysis.

Jupiter म्हणाले...

It does seem, that if American democracy is a practicable system, under current technological circumstances, it ought to have a more robust means of protecting itself against election fraud, than relying upon a haphazardly assembled group of semi-politicians to hastily review a squalid batch of incomprehensible "evidence", before issuing a ruling which will inevitably be seen as nakedly partisan. If this is how the system is supposed to work, then the system is not workable.

The members of the Court could be forgiven if they refrain from involving themselves and their institution in such a three-ring clusterfuck. Leave it to the legislatures, and the voters, to clean up this mess. Of course, "the voters" have increasingly little to do with the outcome of "elections", so it is not at all clear that they can apply any pressure to the legislatures. And the legislatures are, by definition, composed of those who have done well in the current system of vote-counting.

Oh, bullshit. The Supremes have not ruled on the merits and are unlikely to do so. The problem for Republicans is that the obvious remedy for voter fraud is criminal prosecution not reversal of an election. The burden of proof warranting the latter is virtually insurmountable because of the particularity required. It is not enough to prove the existence of fraud or irregularity. It must be proved that it altered the results. For example, is it extremely unlikely that Biden got 95% of the legal votes from several precincts? Yes. Is it impossible? No. Did 25,000 illegal votes in Nevada favor Biden? Probably, but not necessarily.

Regardless of the comments from some partisan judges, there is a mountain of evidence favoring the conclusion that massive fraud took place. Half of the country will no longer believe in the sanctity of our elections, nor should they. That is what’s so. Democrats can be expected to lie about this or to be in denial. So what!? They are about winning, not integrity.

Were Republican poll workers violently barred from observing the votes being counted?

Since it is on video the answer is yes. Over 1000 sworn affidavits as well.

So far courts have not dealt with the actual video evidence and hundreds of sworn witness statements. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has dismissed cases before the election because there was no standing, and after the election because the cases were not filed in a timely manner.

The only ruling that have actually dealt with the evidence came down on the side of people alleging fraud.

The courts have only demonstrated that they are useless and vestigial. There is no point in having a court system if it is going to deny Due Process.

The democrats have broken the law. They have been caught on video hiding and destroying evidence.

In any reasonable court action alleging fraud the Doctrine of Spoliation goes into effect once the defendants have been demonstrated to have destroyed evidence or acted illegaly. Once they are in contempt of the law they must prove their actions were not fraudulent.

This is necessary because it is impossible to prove fraud if the group committing fraud is also controlling the evidence.

If you assert that the democrats can kick out poll observers and hide evidence and that the burden is on us to prove fraud then you can eat shit and die.

"The courts have only demonstrated that they are useless and vestigial. There is no point in having a court system if it is going to deny Due Process."

The courts serve many functions, none perfectly. But the chief function of a court system is to dissuade people from settling their disputes in the most direct and efficacious manner. Someone -- I won't say the Democrats, I think the Democratic Party has essentially been hijacked -- but someone decided to settle the US election in a most direct and efficacious manner. If those of us dispossessed by that decision have, in fact, no recourse in the courts, then those courts are indeed vestigial.

What is "compelling", to me, at least, is the fact that with Trump far ahead on election night, Democrats in control of elections stopped counting for many hours. When they started again, suddenly Biden had caught up. That computers could be used to produce such a result by fraud is manifest. Your position, and that of Earnest Prole, is that unless we have signed confessions by the malefactors, there is no actionable crime, and we have no recourse. Your position is duly noted. We should expect you to behave in this fashion, again and again, until we find some way to stop you.

Georgia performed a manual recount of all presidential ballots. Why was this not sufficient to correct any problems of machine counts and re-running ballots through machines and excluding monitors of machine counts of absentee ballots?

"Georgia performed a manual recount of all presidential ballots. Why was this not sufficient to correct any problems of machine counts and re-running ballots through machines and excluding monitors of machine counts of absentee ballots?"

If signatures are not being checked, or the validity of the ballot is not being checked (dead people voting, felons voting, children voting, multiple votes from the same person, votes after the deadline, etc.) then recounting the ballots alone is meaningless.

It's not that difficult to understand...

Mike of Snoqualmie म्हणाले...

Democrats committed election fraud in the swing states. Their guilt is apparent from how they kept Republicans from viewing the counting processes. They expelled Republican observers from the polling places and from the counting centers. They kept them far away from the election workers. They covered up observing windows. The shutdown for the night at 10:30, to resume the next day at 8:00 am, yet somehow managed to count 150,000 ballots while they weren't working. That's a really good trick: counting ballots at the same time their not counting ballots. Must be a new version of Schrodinger's cat being simultaneously dead and alive.

China Joe will be forever known as the Schrodinger President: Elected and not elected at the same time.

"It’s going to be the same old crap, frankly. It’s going to be people coming in without direct knowledge"

Really? How much "direct knowledge" do we need to know that the WEC announced that people could use "Covid" as an excuse to register to vote and vote absentee without using photo ID? How much "direct knowledge" do we need to know that in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, the 2008 Supreme Court case about Indiana's photo ID law, at the trial, the plaintiffs were unable to produce any witnesses who claimed they were unable to meet the law's requirements? How much "direct knowledge" do we need, to know that if 150k people are claiming they have no photo ID, but still want to vote, the vast majority of them are lying, and are planning on practicing vote fraud?

Yep, and within less than a day we had the full video, and knew the claims were false.

So, where's the "full video" that proves that the GA fraud claims are false? Oh, wait, it doesn't exist?

If "Trump got rocked in the suburbs" by former Trump voters voting for Biden, Trump's vote totals should have dropped. that's what happens when population remains roughly the same, and your voters abandon you.

So, why didn't Trump's vote totals drop?

The suburban voters who were supposed to be abandoning Trump were and are high propensity voters. They voted in 2016 for Trump, and then they supposedly switched to vote against him this year.

So, Biden picks up 4k more votes, Trump should be getting at least 3k fewer votes. Why'd his vote totals go UP, too, just not as much?

He also improved with white women, which make up a lot of those OMB-hating suburban voters.

I get it, participation went up, fueled by in-mail voting. I also get that Biden secured more of those votes than Trump by a wide margin. But even those margins (sometimes in the neighborhood of 90-10) seem out of whack.

All absentee ballots were printed.

Georgia 2019:

“The replacement touchscreens will be attached to printers that will create paper ballots for voters to review before inserting them into optical scanners to be counted and stored for recounts and audits.“

mccullough म्हणाले...

Georgia recounted all 5 million paper ballots by hand for the Presidential race.

Georgia got rid of its touchscreen voting machines, which did not print a ballot, in 2019, and replaced them with touchscreen machines that print the ballot out when the voter is finished.

The voter then takes the ballot, has the ability to review it, and then turns the ballot in to be scanned by the tabulating machine.

So all ballots in Georgia are on paper.

All of them.

And all of the mail in ballots were accepted.

None of the signatures were audited.

Huge numbers of them were counted after poll observers were sent home. This was due to a "Water Main" leak that never happened.

And you have counties that could not reproduce the original counts with those machines because the counting machines gave different totals.

You had hundreds of thousands of ballots with no chain of custody records.

The Georgia SoS Raffensburger made "settlements" with Democrat lawyers that were never disclosed to parties involved in the election that changed how signature matching standards would be applied.

You are full of shit.

In a real election with paper ballots and purple thumbs Trump wins Georgia by double digits.

And this is the argument to reason.

We allege fraud occurred in Fulton County.

We have video evidence that is court admissible showing they sent everyone home and then proceeded to count ballots.

We have "settlements" between SoS Raffensburger and Democrat lawyers effectively eliminating signature matching requirements on mail in ballots that no legislature would pass as law.

Dekalb County has failed to produce chain of custody documents on hundreds of thousands of mail in votes.

When fraud is alleged and there is documented evidence the people accused of fraud have broken the law and are hiding evidence the Doctrine of Spoliation is applied. The people running the elections in all of these states have hidden and destroyed evidence.

The burden of proof shifts to the accused to prove they were not committing fraud. This election was non-transparent by force. Everything after that is bullshit.

We all know why the Democrats in Fulton and Dekalb Counties cannot prove they didn't commit fraud.

If the court refuses to follow long standing precedents with respect to allegations of fraud and denies due process then they are abrogating their responsibilities.

Everything you post about accepting court rulings at that point with your two sentence replies that have zero logical assertions are just worthless.

Appeals to authority like yours are generally short because you have nothing.

Any machine problems are rectified in a hand recount. Any blocking of vote count monitors is are rectified in a hand recount. That was my point. You have not rebutted it.

Now you are complaining about signature verification.

In Georgia in 2016 elections, .24% of mail-in ballots were rejected for missing or non-matching signatures.

In Georgia in 2018 elections, .15% of mail-in ballots were rejected for missing or non-matching signatures.

In Georgia in 2020 elections, .15% of mail-in ballots were rejected for missing or non-matching signatures.

They are still fraudulent ballots.

There was no signature audit because Raffensberger changed signature requirements in a deal with democrat lawyers outside of legislative pervue.

GOP was only allowed 1 watcher for every 10 poll workers

One of the GOP watchers caught the poll workers trying to screw up the count awarding 10,707 ballots for Biden and 13 ballots for Trump. The actual count was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump only 9,626 votes off, all for Biden.

How many bad numbers made it through? We don't know.

And that doesn't count the illegal absentee ballots. You know, the ones that would be caught by the signature audit that Fulton County refuses to do.

It's really a simple situation: If you want people to believe that you didn't commit vote fraud, you have to act like you didn't commit vote fraud.

Refusing audits means you committed vote fraud. Excluding poll watchers means you committed vote fraud. Putting cardboard over the windows so people can't observe what you're doing means you committed vote fraud.

Multiple individuals submitted affidavits saying that there were large numbers of unfolded absentee ballots at Fulton and Dekalb.

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/georgia-recount-witnesses-swear-have-seen-votes-trump-counted-biden

GA absentee ballots have to be folded in half to go into the envelope. So what I expect to find is that there will be a lot fewer security envelopes than their will be "counted ballots". And every single difference will be a fraudulent vote for Biden.

What you need to explain is what legitimate reason there is to resist the audit. Because there is none.
