#1 As I said yesterday, it was a "dog whistle" to fire up the Democrat voter base. I suspect that there's a few, more... circumspect, efforts being made as well.

#2 It's the Fed bureaucracy which counts the votes.

Last time I checked, it was the state and specifically local residents that counted the votes. Even in the (in)famous 2000 race, the locals had to do it again by county in Florida.

And if it was a 'dog whistle' it only points out clearly the bigotry, hate, and intolerance of the Left's base. If you don't agree with them, you're not 'stupid' you're the enemy to be stereotyped and eliminated.

#3 Complaints of irregularities are investigated by?
Or do you doubt the democratic cadre's ability to lodge complaints?

#4 Like Hugh Hewitt said in one of his books, we have to win so BIG that it would be impossible to tilt the results by cheating. A toss up state will do Democratic because of fraud. A pro-Trump landslide state can't be tilted by fraud.

So win by a landslide, purge the federal bureaucracy of the true believers. And hopefully enough states will ride the coat tails to make a difference in local politics.

Embarrass the main stream media with a landslide with make McGovern/Nixon look like a photo finish.

#5 From what I've read today she could be replaced and even though ballots are printed the electoral votes to her would still be counted for her replacement.

Of course the confusion of folks looking for Biden or Sanders on a ballot and only finding Clinton would be massive and ensure the Democrats lose, and further that the dumber ones are convinced it was stolen because of the ballot mix-ups.

#6 I'll be interested in seeing the impact caused by the influence buyers.

#7 A very subtle dog whistle indeed, like "Hey! Fido! Come smell my ass."

#8 From what I've read today she could be replaced and even though ballots are printed the electoral votes to her would still be counted for her replacement.

Technically, you do not vote for the candidate, but a roster of Electors who have committed to vote for the candidate when the Electoral College convenes to cast their ballots. Gee, those stupid white (and sometimes slave-holding) founders may have been on to something. Listen to the silence on the Left that has for years talked about doing away with the College and just go with a direct vote.
