Time for do-over elections?
[American Thinker] Massive evidence that Joe Biden and his family have been corrupted by Chinese bribes emerged shortly before the election. This evidence was blacked out by the Information Monopoly: Big Tech (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and the mainstream news media (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc.). Not only was the evidence blacked out, but it was discredited by depicting it as Russian disinformation. Outlets with much less influence — Fox News, the N.Y. Post, the Wall Street Journal, and other smaller outlets — gave the story play. The majority of the voters were denied the opportunity to evaluate the terribly serious information that a presidential candidate was bought and paid for by our most dangerous enemy.

The election was decided in close jurisdictions by this small coterie of very powerful people and organizations that had the power to blackout and discredit a massively important news story. To make thing worse, in my opinion, it is highly likely that many other institutions and persons have been corrupted or compromised by Chinese money. For example, I find it alarming that Kamala Harris’s husband works for a law firm with Chinese clients.

The pretense that it is OK to treat Chinese interests as regular businesses rather than as agents of the Communist Party should be ended. I suspect that there are many persons and institutions in the pocket of Chinese intelligence to a greater or lesser extent. The Chinese effectively use massive amounts of money to corrupt important people and institutions in the U.S.

If the voters are systematically fed biased information, they cannot be expected to vote in their self-interest or the interest of the country. The blackout amounts to a many billions of dollars in in-kind campaign contribution. Defending this on the grounds of free speech is obviously ridiculous. The information monopoly is suppressing free speech.

#1  The blackout amounts to a many billions of dollars in in-kind campaign contribution.

Yes, a felony. Obviously. But much worse than a crime: this was a coup d'etat. A coordinated effort to depose the Orange Adolf with every possible means available to the conspirators.

This coup must not be allowed to stand.

#2  Excerpt from 'According to Hoyt':

Honestly, I think the only thing that saves the republic, right now? Is a hard reset. It’s the Supreme Court saying “uh, no. This election is way too corrupted at every possible level. Electors will meet two months later. EVERY state must purge its rolls completely. All new sign up with proof of citizenship, and then a national day off, where EVERYONE votes. If you can’t vote in person, request a ballot x time in advance, and drop it here. NO MAIL. If you must be absent on the day, vote a day or two early. BUT shows us proof you can’t.” And then people would vote and there would be federal observers at every poling place. And the counting would be done in public.

THAT would restore our faith in the elections as a way to tell the will of the people. (And it’s my humble prediction the f*cking lunatic left wouldn’t carry a state. NOT A ONE.)

What are the chances of that? Judging by the preemptive surrender of my fellows on the right, probably none. The chances are they’ll pile on Trump to make him stop being “unseemly” and then they’ll go to work analyzing the election to prove that the only reason the red wave didn’t carry him to a second term is that he’s too “uncouth.” What we really need is someone like Pierre Delecto.

And then yeah, we’ll have divided government for two years. Except all the congress creatures will know the fix is in, so they’ll roll over for the left, so maybe one of their seats won’t be taken, and they’ll be part of the pet loyal opposition.

#3  That total reset idea is going to be harder and harder to ignore and denigrate. Considering what Amazon, Wal Mart, Hell, the advertisers at Zero Hedge for that matter know about me and presumably every other periodic user, the notion that the government can't radically streamline this goes against the practical experience of virtually everybody.

#4  Without an independent press that's free to investigate and report fairly, elections are useless.

The evidence is overwhelming that Biden was informed if and receiving kickbacks from his son's corrupt JV with Hinese partners who have been proven to be agents of the Chinese military. These facts are disqualifying -- beyond any possible doubt. In any normally functioning democracy with a free press, Biden would not have list the election; he would have been forced to withdraw, in order to face criminal charges along with his son.

That would be his crack addict bagman who accompanied his VP father on Air Force Two to Beijing.

That would be the dupe of the Chinese military, the walking national security risk who's now being investigated for the crimes that have already resulted in several of their business partners, American and Chinese both.

In any normal democracy Biden would be facing some of the criminal charges that his son is soon to face: influence peddling. Money laundering. Violations of national security laws regarding foreign influence and handling of sensitive information.

In a normal country Biden would be in prison receiving medical care for his dementia.

Watch this and you'll see recounts are just asking people to accept bullsh!t.

I like Newt's idea of just zeroing out the corrupted precincts contribution. That would get their attention.

#18  Our only saving grace is we hold the senate. So tax laws, gun laws, etc... he will not be able to affect.

A saving grace, but not the only one, Yet again Republicans increased their hold at the state and local level — one more governorship, more houses of state legislatures, and so forth. Also, although the Democrats still hold the House in Washington, DC, they lost seats — resulting in private screaming between traditional center-leftists and the “democratic socialist” Bernie Sanders faction over the failure of the promised Blue Wave to appear.

So in a majority of states the post-census redistricting will be done by Republicans, not Democrats — ditto cleaning up voter rolls, tightening the laws around absentee/mail-in voting, observers, voter I.D. and registration, etc.

If Donald Trump is not sworn in in January, he will be free to do his Trump thing from outside the walls. Can you imagine four years of Trump lawsuits and rallies across the country? And the car thing that’s been happening doesn’t even require renting space, it costs nothing more than the price of some flags and hats, and an email/snail mail announcement of date, time, and place. It doesn't even require national organization, just word of mouth locally, with videos posted to Parler afterward. Should he then run and be elected in 2024, that starts the two-term clock again, and this time he would hit the ground running...

#23  Done need a do over, need a done right the first time.

All voters must provide photo ID IN PERSON to obtain an absentee ballot, or to vote in person. Absentee ballot can be requested 60 days prior to election day.

Limit early voting to the 2 weeks prior, beginning on Monday, and to include Sat and Sun as voting days for "convenience". It would end the Friday prior to election day. Early vote totals to be tallied and validated and turned in to the state by Monday night midnight before election day.

Mail in voting: All ballots must be postmarked no earlier than the first Monday of early voting, and must be RECEIVED by Midnight Friday night the same Friday that early voting ends.

All mail in ballots must be validated and processed within 48 hours of receipt, with the validation shown on the electoral board web site (Doe, John M. Mail ballot processed 10/31". All improper votes should be noted as defective on the web site (Doe, John M, Mail Ballot Invalid 10/31). Voters with a defective ballot may submit a corrected one as long as it is received by Friday before election day, either by postal mail, or in person at the local precinct or county courthouse.

Mail-in Totals must be counted over the weekend, and totals delivered by midnight Monday night before Election Day. Voters who are unable to validate with the electoral web site that their vote was validated may instead cast a provisional vote on Election Day.

NO VOTES RECEIVED AFTER 23:59 FRIDAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY ARE TO BE PROCESSED. They will all be marked as received, marked INVALID:LATE, status posted to the web site before midnight Monday Night before election day, and then destroyed.

Election Day: standard in-person voting applies. After canvassing the local boards, when the polls close, early voting and mail-in totals are released to the public. In-person totals released as they become available.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

#24  Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights. -- Thomas Jefferson.

Unfortunately old Tom never imagined the malfeasance and outright lying that is going on in the press when it comes to deliberate and seditious dis-informing the people.

I've been ranting about this for years, and some have chided me privately for "over the top" anger.

NOW do you all finally get my utter hatred for the press and editors and publishers? Their malpractice will cost us our republic, as I said it would. If this causes a civil war, those editors and reporters should all be run to ground, drumhead court, and hanged like the vermin they are.

All enemies, foreing and domestic. And they are now on the enemies list - this was a deliberate act by them.

#25  Bingo. The first vector for our counter strike must be to create an alternative press. Not a BS entertainment clickbait Breitbart-Fox Press but a simple news service that provides 60/24/7 straight up NEWS: facts, unadulterated, that citizens can rely upon to form their own opinions. Because the FACTS is tgectrutb will set them free.

As to TJ: "The only security of all is in a free press." - Thomas Jefferson

No free press = no democracy. It's that simple.

So time to start creating a truly free press focused not on yet more opinion but on something the public is hungry and desperate for: FACTS

Why Does Biden Have So Many More Votes Than Democrat Senators In Swing States?
[ZERO] In most elections, the majority of votes are cast "down the ticket" - meaning, a voter supports both party's presidential nominee and state Congressional candidates. In fact, according to Pew Research, "overwhelming shares of voters who are supporting Trump and Biden say they are also supporting the same-party candidate for Senate."

Typically, this means that that the number of votes for a presidential candidate and that party's Senate candidates are relatively close.

Twitter user "US Rebel" (@USRebellion1776), however, found that the number of votes cast for Joe Biden far exceeds those cast for that state's Senate candidates in swing states, while those cast for Trump and GOP Senators remains far closer.

In Michigan, for example, there was a difference of just 7,131 votes between Trump and GOP candidate John James, yet the difference between Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Gary Peters was a staggering 69,093.

In Georgia, there was an 818 vote difference between Trump and the GOP Senator, vs. a 95,000 difference between Biden and the Democratic candidate for Senator.

Yet, in two non-swing states, there was "no massive flood of mysterious empty Biden votes," leading US Rebel to suggest "It's fraud."

In Wyoming, the difference on the Democratic side is is just 725 votes, while in Montana the difference is 27,457.

What's going on here? If it were "never-Trumpers" pairing Biden with their GOP Congressional picks? If so, we would expect fewer votes for Trump than GOP Senators. We're open to suggestions.

#2  I'm thinking what is the population of a state according to the census bureau, vs. the actual ballot count. Seems in some cases (Most? All?) there's more ballots than population.

#7  So all the 'extra' votes for Biden voted for the Pub senators? Or are the 'excess' votes just Biden votes. Or maybe there's more votes than ballots?

Math b hard.

#8  In Michigan, for example, there was a difference of just 7,131 votes between Trump and GOP candidate John James, yet the difference between Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Gary Peters was a staggering 69,093.

This is potentially the smoking gun: Where are these empty Biden ballots concentrated? How many of these were in Wayne County MI, home to Detroit, which is heavily African-American and which is the hometown of John James the GOP Senate candidate who pulled an equal number of votes as Trump?

A split ticket result is certainly possible when you have, with James, a hugely popular and charismatic young African-American from Detroit on the ticket.

But split-ticket voting would have resulted in a huge and more or less equal or offsetting number of votes up and down the ballot. Trump's loss (to Biden) would imply a more or less equal gain for John James, his down-ticket fellow Republican. So in a split-ticket world, Trump's loss would imply a victory for John James.

But there is no plausible scenario where the split ticket breaks only one way and only for Joe Biden, an old white man with zero connection to Detroit or Michigan. For John James, in Wayne County, a huge bump is entirely plausible. But not for Biden.

This is 99% likely a fraudulent result.

#13  Curious. Michigan uses paper ballots. If you were injecting votes at the ballot level, it would be just as easy to mark the straight party ticket option as to mark for Sleepy Joe specifically. That way, you get all the down-ballot races like state Senator.

But if you were writing a digital file to be loaded directly into the vote counter, it might be simpler to just make "Joes". Pure speculation here since I have no idea about the structure of the files on all those flash drives that keep mysteriously appearing after being "overlooked".

#14  A straight party paper vote in my district required some 12 fill-ins.

If indeed it was a trump wholloping outside the margin of cheating, and they had to fill blanks quickly, then just filling one circle instead of the whole ballet increases output.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 11/06/2020 21:43 Comments || Top||

#15  Hang on... the path of least resistance is straight party voting, correct? If so then one would expect Sleepy Joe's vote tally to rise in direct proportion to Gary Peters' et al.'s vote tallies.

So why then is Sleepy Joe getting 70,000 more votes than his down-ballot fellow Democrats?

This is a contrived result. Bogus. Busted.
