This is just too easily fact checked. Nixon won Florida and Ohio in 1960 and lost. //

Media Laughing at This Trump Tweet Discover Irony Is a Harsh Mistress

The battle for the White House is still going hammer-and-tongs even though we are less than a week from the Electoral College meeting. Because of the slipshod and illegal way several states ran their elections, we will never know with finality who actually won the vote no matter what the Electoral College decides. Despite facing an uphill battle, President Trump is fighting the fight with the focus and energy that we would expect of anyone except a Republican politician. Just a short while ago, he set this tweet.

Of course, our fearless firefighters were on the job

Yes, Kennedy did win in 1960. But how did he do this? While we will never know with mathematical certainty, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that he won by using Richard Daly’s Chicago machine, perhaps working with the mafia family of Sam Giancana, to produce enough votes for him to win Illinois by just over 8,000 votes. By “produce,” I don’t mean get vans to and busses to drive the old folks to the polls. I mean straight up manufacturing votes where none existed.

Saying that Kennedy won while losing Florida and Ohio, doesn’t make President Trump look bad. It makes his case and it makes you look like a flaming dork.

how is the Court prepared to respond if it were to grant the injunction against the Pennsylvania state defendants, and on January 6, 2021, the Joint Session of Congress nevertheless counts the slate of Electors already certified and sent by the Pennsylvania Governor for Joe Biden?

There is no functional method I can envision where the Court would attempt to place itself deeper in this controversy between January 6 and January 21 if the Congress was to certify the vote of the Electoral College which included 20 Electoral votes from Pennsylvania in favor of Joe Biden. If it issues an Order that the political branches ignore along partisan lines, the Court will be damaged as an institution. I think there is no question that the Democrats, in their overriding desire to be rid of Donald Trump and deny him a second term, will disregard the damage they would do to the Court by ignoring any Order and moving forward. Under the Electoral Count Act, even if the GOP controlled the Senate, a dispute regarding the validity of Electors that cannot be resolved between the two chambers results in the acceptance by default of the Electors cerfitied by the State’s Governor — meaning the Electors named for Joe Biden would be counted.

This fact is, in my view, the practical counter-balance to any sentiment on the Court to insert itself at this time by creating any form of “retrospective” relief that addresses the validity of the Pennsylania “mail in” voting scheme.

Among the most “curious” — and maybe incriminating — parts of the video surveillance footage from the Fulton County counting room was that showing Freeman seeming to run the same stack of ballots through a tabulating machine multiple times.

My hunch is SCOTUS rules the PA election was unconstitutional due to changing of election laws by the executive and judicial branches. As such the electors selected on Nov 3rd and the resulting certification are fruits of the poisonous tree. This makes PA's current slate of electors invalid. If the electors are not valid they can't vote at the EC. I believe this is the 'smack down' alluded to in the article. And to be honest this smack down has the potential to be epic.

If SCOTUS wants to stop the madness and prevent shenanigans in future elections, they almost have to lay waste to PA. If SCOTUS lays waste to PA it will have a direct effect/impact (by means of the new precedent) on WI and GA lawsuits/contests that were just filed.

“We’ve uncovered some fraudulent plans to register a bunch of people to vote down in South Florida. It’s the easiest thing in the world for these local counties to purge their voter lists of deceased individuals. All they have to do is go to the Social Security system and crosscheck against their deceased Social Security recipients on their list and then purge them off of their voter list.” //

The ease with which someone is able to steal the ballot of a deceased person and cast an illegitimate vote should disturb, alarm, and outrage every American citizen, no matter what side of the aisle they sit on.

“To protect our democratic process and Americans’ faith in our elections, we must ensure that deceased individuals are not allowed to remain on state voter rolls.” //

“My bill will prevent any funds from the U.S. Departments of Transportation or Education, with the exception of those going toward law enforcement agency grants, from going to counties of any state that do not annually check their voter lists against the Social Security Administration’s most recent death records in order to purge them of any individuals found to be deceased.

“All elected officials, from your local city council member to your U.S. President, have an obligation to obey the law and prevent fraud in our elections, and Congress should not be awarding taxpayer dollars to any counties or states that refuse to do the job they swore to do.”

“If we are to accept that Biden won, against the trend of all these non-polling metrics, it not only means that one of these metrics was inaccurate this time, for the first time ever. It means that each one of these metrics was wrong for the first time and at the same time as all the others. It is not statistically impossible, but it is statistically implausible.” //

“He was the challenger. He has apparently, allegedly received more votes than any candidate for president in American history. And yet he has done very, very poorly in most of the country, except where it absolutely mattered.”

To flip this election, the Democrats are going to their legal stormtroopers, Perkins Coie, to do the dirty work. What Perkins Coie is doing is laying the groundwork to use the Federal Contested Elections Act of 1969 (2 U.S.C. §§ 381) to let the Democrat House decide the outcome.

In the case of Miller-Meeks, where the election has undergone all legitimate challenges, this will be simply a raw exercise of power. Much like how the presidential election seems to have been blatantly ripped off (This Isn’t Just the Theft of an Election, This Is a Message to All of Us), this is intended to build a sense of hopelessness among conservatives. It is intended to tell us that Stalin was right, “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”

GEORGIA.

Ware County confirmed to have exact vote switching of 37 VOTES: Trump lost 37 votes, Biden gained 37 votes.

The hand recount caught the vote-flip. Now, there is a report from local GA official that Dominion machines have been seized for forensic audit.

So really, there needs to be a better explanation of all of this if they want people to be reassured of what went on here. And telling contradictory and easily disprovable things does not engender confidence.

An election integrity watchdog said the current Electoral College deadlines not only have “zero constitutional basis” but are preventing states from fulfilling their legal and ethical obligations to ensure free and fair elections.

The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society released the study (pdf) on Friday, making the case that the only constitutionally-set date in the election process is Jan. 20, when the next president of the United States will be sworn in. All other dates, including the “safe harbor” deadline, the Electoral College vote on Dec. 14, and even the congressional vote count on Jan. 6, are dates set by federal law, which the paper argues are “arbitrary” and founded on obsolete concerns.

2020 saw record turnout—though calling it a “turnout” is a bit misleading since the involvement was largely a function of states’ haphazardly mailing out paper ballots to everyone.

All mandatory-voting advocates are doing is further degrading the importance of elections and incentivizing more demagoguery.

If they truly believed democracy was sacred—rather than a way to accumulate power—they’d want Americans to put more effort into voting for the president than they do in ordering Chinese takeout. And they certainly wouldn’t want to force anyone to do it.

The bigger problem we have as a nation is that we are acquiescing to voting processes that are not capable of being verified and tested in a meaningful fashion during the time period available under the statutes and Constitutional provisions that determine how Presidents are selected. The voting process is captive to partisan political interests with a motivation to bend it to their needs. Then, when their actions are questioned, those raising the concerns learn that all the “evidence” that might establish what took place is within the control of the same partisan actors, and everything becomes subject to efforts to “run out the clock” on any bona fide challenges.

The country needs uniform voting standards and procedures across all 50 states. The security and integrity protocols need to be the same across all 50 states. The audit and electoral contest procedures need to be the same across all 50 states.

“Convenience” to the voter needs to be way down the list of considerations about how the voting process takes place, and can never be a justification for sacrificing security. Make Presidential Election day a national holiday once every four years so the vast majority of citizens do not need to try to “work it in” to their schedule.

And the overriding consideration for voting integrity needs to be that each invalidly cast vote is the embodiment of the violation of the right to vote of a legitimate voter who chose another candidate, regardless of party.

THAT is the ultimate disenfranchisement, and it corrupts democracy when partisan interests encourage such acts in order to secure power.

Doubt is a feature, not a bug, of rapidly constructed mass mail-in elections. //

Democrats spent 2020 insisting they would not only win the presidency in a landslide but ride a “blue wave” through Congress. If they were truly that confident Joe Biden could become leader of the world through Zoom calls from his basement, then why did Democrats blanket the country with millions of dollars to alter election processes in ways that are known to substantially increase errors and fraud to within election-tipping margins?

The Russia collusion investigation uncovered text messages calling Barack Obama’s intelligence agencies spying on Donald Trump’s campaign an “insurance policy” against the “risk” Trump might win. What “insurance policies” did Democrats take out in 2020? //

No one can blame voters for being confused before, during, or after the election. It was confusing. It is confusing. Democrats filed the lawsuits that caused the uncertainty, decided they would simply declare victory amid the ongoing chaos they deliberately created, and let media and courts seal the steal. It worked perfectly — except that the election was so unexpectedly close, people noticed.

It might turn out that not all these claims of fraud and illegal activity can be substantiated by the evidence. It might turn out that some can and some can’t. Even if they can, overturning the results in Nevada wouldn’t be enough to change the outcome of the presidential election.

But that’s not the point. The point is that we need to have confidence in our elections, and no honest person can look at what’s happened in Nevada and have confidence in the vote there. In an election this irregular, with so many allegations of fraud and evidence to back them up, President Trump and his supporters deserve their day in court. At least in Nevada, it looks like they’ll get it.

She went on to say that in her home country of India, everyone has “a national identification card without which we cannot vote.”

“When we come into this country, we have a retinal scan, fingerprints, everything…how is it that a vote…is actually being cast without and ID, without any kind of oversight?” Hima said, adding that she saw duplicate ballots being counted.

“It was heartbreaking, so that’s why I decided to put myself here,” she said.

Later, she testified that “when GOP poll workers were being escorted out” of the TCF center, “with or without handcuffs, every poll worker — and all Democrats — stood and clapped, like it was some kind of…they all won a lottery ticket.”

“That is exactly when I decided I’m gonna do this because that was heartbreaking. These people were doing a job, a volunteer job…they were not getting paid. They were leaving their work to be here for their country to ensure election integrity, and they were treated like criminals, and that’s not fair,” Hima added. //

But Democrats tried to shut down the witnesses and call them liars. Listen as this Democratic representative claims they are lying in their public testimony, despite all having signed sworn affidavits under penalty of perjury. Listen to Hima Kolanagireddy just level her with her response. //

Rep. Cynthia A. Johnson accuses witness in Michigan State Senate Committee on Oversight of LYING about her testimony re: 2020 election fraud.

Her response is a mic drop moment.

"If it is truth, you can ask me in the middle of the night and it would still be the same."

President Donald Trump’s legal team on Thursday presented surveillance footage to a Georgia State Legislature hearing that appears to show election ballot-counting workers kicking out poll observers late at night on Election Day before pulling out what appear to be suitcases allegedly filled with ballots.

A woman who identified herself as Jackie Pick, a lawyer who is assisting with their legal case, said the team received video footage from State Farm Arena’s vote-tabulation center in Fulton County, Georgia. The team said that GOP poll watchers were not allowed to watch the counting process in the poll center.

But, according to Pick, an unusual occurrence took place later in the evening at around 10 p.m. ET. A woman—described as a blonde woman with braids—told workers to stop counting and told everyone to go home.

“Everyone clears out, including the Republican observers and the press, but four people stay behind and continue counting and tabulating well into the night,” Pick said. They counted unobserved until about 1 a.m.

Pick said that video footage shows Fulton County election workers waiting at their scanning areas until GOP poll watchers and reporters left the room before they started “scanning ballots,” ostensibly without any observation. Pick noted that it contravenes state and county law. //

At 11 p.m., once everyone is gone, the workers are seen “pulling ballots out from underneath a table.” She asked if it’s normal to “store suitcases of ballots under a table cloth?” Pick said after reviewing footage that it’s not a normal procedure.

It’s not clear if election workers knew they were being recorded on camera.

The lawyer further alleged that the same woman with the blonde hair and braids, presumably the manager, had placed the table there earlier. It’s not clear where those ballots came from, and it’s not clear when the purported suitcases of thousands of ballots were placed under the table. Whether they’re suitcases or a special carrier for ballots is also not clear.

Witnesses have sworn in affidavits that the counting continued until the early morning hours, Trump’s team said.

“Why are they counting them when the place is cleared out with no witnesses?” Pick said.

She argued that based on the number of ballots there, it is “beyond the margin of victory” in the presidential race. It’s because three scanners—which can carry out several thousand ballot processes per hour—were working several hours that night. This process, she said, “goes on, and on, and on” until the early morning hours.

The calendar is obviously working against there being a remedy available to the campaign in Wisconsin prior to the meeting of the Electoral College. This point needs to be driven home in as part of a need for all states to reconsider the “mail-in” ballot schemes they have adopted. There simply is not enough time in the aftermath of a Presidential election, between the day of the election and the meeting of the Electoral College, to properly investigate and challenge millions of “mail-in” ballots — and that very fact only incentivizes the even further expansion of the use of such a process.

In dismissing the Kelly complaint challenging votes cast pursuant to Act 77, the Supreme Court held that the suit was barred by “laches” because the Plaintiffs did not seek to challenge the statute when it was passed.

The Plaintiffs have clearly established a legal “Catch-22” by which the Penn. Supreme Court has shut the doors of the Courthouse to any meaningful challenge to Act 77.

I think this was done ENTIRELY by design, anticipating that the majority of the members of the Penn. Supreme Court would not be able to resist their partisan proclivities in moving quickly to dismiss the complaint and thereby springing the trap laid for them by Plaintiffs and their counsel.

She said that she witnessed the military ballots being put through the tabulators multiple times. “I witnessed the military ballots being duplicated. I just thought it was strange that only Biden’s name was selected, no down ballot…and not one was for Trump.”
