#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.

#5 if voting in person and being marked with indelible ink is good enough for our third-world patron Iraq, it's good enough for us.

And a public beheading for those who interfere with the voting process

#10 Our only saving grace is we hold the senate. So tax laws, gun laws, etc... he will not be able to affect. If you live anywhere outside of the larger cities you have to realize this is our Alamo. If we let this stand, we will forever be subservient to NYC and LA.

#12 The problem is the urban shitholes. Not the states.

Without the fraud committed in Atlanta Philadelphia Detroit etc, Trump would have been confirmed the winner before midnight on Election Day

#13 Recall that even when Romney was defeated, there were precincts in PA with zero votes for him and more votes than registered voters. SOP for Democrats.

#14 When Hillary demanded a recount in Michigan in 2016, it was abandoned after it was revealed that 60% of Detroit's precincts had fiddled with the ballots.

SOP etc

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...

#19 ^ iirc that's effectively what happened when Hillary demanded a recount. They uncovered was so much fraud in Wayne County that the recount effort was abandoned

#20 Maybe a fingerprint or two on the ballot might help. Then arrest the folks in the graveyard for ballot fraud.

#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
