#1  Summary of video: DOJ says police opened the door, San Fran DA says body cam footage shows Pelosi opened the door.

So what's the big deal? The discrepancy feeds conspiracy stories. NBC is puzzled.

I wonder what does the DOJ know that the local first-responders don't? I wonder if Nancy has been asked that question.

#2  Uniform cams were supposed to take the ambiguity out of arrests. They have done the exact opposite.

#6  I'm sure the bodycam also shows Lucy Van Pelt moving the football once again. What to do...what to do. It is whatever they say it is. And all the while, we're on our knees.

Maricopa County Election Judge Believes the Machines Were Programmed to Reject Ballots on Election Day
[Gateway] Michele Swinick was an election judge in Maricopa County on election day last week. Following the election Michele stepped forward to discuss what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day.

Michele worked at a center in a heavily Republican district. According to Michele, the tabulators worked perfectly well the night before the election. Then on Election Day they quit working. Only 1 in 10 ballots were accepted through the tabulators. The officials were told to put the defective ballots into a different section called "Door 3."

Michele believes this was all planned. The election officials knew that republicans were going to come out in force on election day as they did in the primary. This was a planned operation.

Dozens of Arizona Republican Voters Describe How Ballots Were Not Counted, Ballots Were Tossed in a Box, and People Were Not Allowed in to Vote (VIDEO)

Election judge Michele Swinick has come forward to report what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day. She worked Election Day as a judge at the Islamic Voting Center in Scottsdale, AZ. She reports that the center is heavily Republican, with "no party" designated voters as the second most populous demographic, followed by very few democrat voters, evidenced by the fact that she checked in very few of them on Election Day. She reports she spent the entire day checking in voters.

Swinick says that the tabulators all worked "perfectly" during the test the night before the election. The problem with scanning began immediately with the first ballots. Voters scanned their ballots between 4 and 12 times with very minimal success. Poll workers estimated about 1 in 10 ballots were being read for the first three hours of voting.

Voters were given options to either spoil their ballots and try again or drop them into a different section called "Door 3." As per Swinick, their inspector had to empty the ballots from "Door 3" three times throughout the early afternoon because of the volume of ballots. Typically, ballots aren’t supposed to be removed from that box until polls close, but they made an exception because the box was jamming and became too full.

Swinick reports that the technician came to the center between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm MT and rebooted the machines. After this, there were no further issues with ballots being run through tabulators. She reported that one of the poll workers told her, "Everything is now going smoothly with the tabulators."

Per Swinick’s inspector, an offsite supervisor had advised "Because of the situation" to put all "door 3" ballots that had not been scanned through a tabulator into a separate black bag and to label them "misreads." As a judge, Michele told UncoverDC that she personally signed the sticker placed over the bag’s zipper, and then these bags were sent to the tabulation center to be counted. Michele informed us that the normal process for a ballot that is "unread" is for poll workers to run the ballots through the tabulators one more time before sending them to the center. As per Swinick, this was not done.

The County had set up a website to give voters the ability to check that their vote was counted. The problem is Michele has proven that the website isn’t correct and seems to be using a voter’s "check in" as evidence their vote was tabulated rather than the actual tabulation of the vote. Michele offered her first-hand proof of this.

#1  Sad how Americans don't give a shit their elections are rigged. Makes me dislike them almost as much as the cheaters.
Posted by: Vespasian Ebboting9735 || 11/14/2022 8:48 Comments || Top||

#2  Pub turnout of registered voters was abysmal as well. Some reports indicate between 50-55%.
Posted by: Besoeker || 11/14/2022 9:04 Comments || Top||

#3  Nationwide, Pubs stole a favorite dem whining point. Won the popular vote and lost the election.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 11/14/2022 9:48 Comments || Top||

#4  Poignant and angry American Thinker article, with the money quote:

"This debauched civic ritual has become so dirty that there’s not enough soap to wash off the stench. In states where voter identification rules are somewhat enforced and mail-in and absentee ballots are reserved for exceptional cases, Republicans won overwhelmingly. In states where anonymous, unsecured mail-in ballots are the new norm, Republicans got trounced.

In 2010, when Republicans absolutely “shellacked” Obama-Marxists in the midterms, conservatives won around two and a half million more votes and picked up a landslide sixty-three additional House seats. In 2022, Republicans have won six million more votes than the Democrats across the country yet will be lucky to grab an additional nine seats."

#5  ^ American Whiner

#6  Since I think those are factual statements regarding votes cast and seats won, the inductive reasoning seems reasonable. How does that constitute whining? Or is the observation personal?
Posted by: NoMoreBS || 11/14/2022 11:15 Comments || Top||

#7  Overall turnout in Ohio was 55% but GOP turnout was high for a Midterm while Dem turnout was low. In Maricopa County the Dem turnout number that I heard was 15%. Low Dem turnout in that county is not easily reconciled to Kari Lake losing. I think the correct statistic term for that phenomena is “beggars belief.”

#8  #2 And exactly how are those stats tabulated? By the machines? By those counting? LMAO. All we need do is look at the individual states and the game is made clear. But how? Because every court in the nation stated that those states claiming corruption HAD NO STANDING. Never mind that the states supposedly ran the elections but never mind... just more bad luck.

#9  just more bad luck.

Fuck you, stolen again. You're a bunch of fucking lemmings.

Dems Lose One in Oregon
[Oregon Public Broadcasting/AP] Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer has won the open U.S. House seat in Oregon’s 5th Congressional District, flipping the district for the GOP in a hard-fought contest that drew millions in outside money to the state.

Chavez-DeRemer’s victory makes her the first Latina congresswoman from Oregon.Can't quickly find her birthplace; wondering of she fits the Dems theory of new voters always vote (D).

The district was previously held for seven terms by moderate Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader and was targeted by the GOP, which saw the 5th as vulnerable after the long-time incumbent's primary defeat by progressive candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner.

The 5th was significantly redrawn following the 2020 U.S. Census to include parts of more conservative central Oregon, and trended slightly less blue this election. Democrats still hold a slight advantage in voter registration, but both campaigns focused on the roughly one-third of unaffiliated voters in the district.

Chavez-DeRemer, a small business owner and former mayor of the Portland suburb of Happy Valley, built her campaign around concerns over homelessness and rising crime in Portland, which neighbors some of the district’s suburban communities.

McLeod-Skinner, an attorney and regional emergency coordinator, previously ran unsuccessfully for Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District in 2018. She sought to highlight Chavez-DeRemer’s shifting stance on abortion and painted her as a far-right candidate who was too conservative for the district.
