Nope, no evidence of any voting irregularities...

https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump...98jhWfdMLkA_Hg

I haven't come close to saying that fraud is why Trump lost. I'm saying, we need to do better than finding 2,600 uncounted ballots two weeks after the election, and twice as many of those were cast for Trump, draw your own conclusions there.

It's not unreasonable to demand that we look into these things and fix them. Not sure why that's partisan. But it is.

All elections have irregularities, that's why they audit results before certifying. This is business as usual Jim, aside from Trump screaming bloody murder into his mirror.

What's an acceptable excuse to you, for 2,600 votes not being counted?

"This is business as usual"

nothing about the last 4 years (12, probably) has been business as usual.

"Trump screaming bloody murder"

But you don't care when Obama does that ("people who voted for Trump live in an alternate world"). or Hilary, or Biden, or god knows the media. Not only do you not criticize it, you can't (literally can't, there's a reason why I didn't say 'won't') even acknowledge it.

A clerk in a largely Republican Georgia County screwed up, wonder what his political affiliation or motive was?

Not nearly as bad as what the liar from Carolina did..........


A staffer for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger says he participated in that controversial phone call with Lindsey Graham and said he heard Graham ask if state officials could throw out ballots.

Jim think! take a breath if it was someone’s plan to not count those ballots why would they leave behind any evidence , why weren’t they destroyed? And who ever made this error needs to find a new line of work that’s certain. However Biden was equally affected by these votes not being counted .. and they weren’t found or claimed to be missing by the Trump campaign, they were found via of an audit and no attempt to hide the mistake was made ,,, by Republicans in charge

Jim Trump yelling Fraud and insisting it exist , then finding the random dead guy or felon who voted or even these 2500 votes proves nothing ! all these issues occur in every election local and federal every

officials in Republican-leaning Floyd County discovered they had failed to upload a memory card containing electronic counts of those votes on Election Day.

Are libs that good to make vote disappear in Republican county

Seems you dont care about Democratic norms ... And Trumps attempts to de legitimize our elections .. conservatives don’t care about integrity of the elections they just care about seizing power by any means ... afraid of Trump and his Mob Willing to stand behind bogus claims knowing full well their not based in Facts or the Truth .

naturally you brought up
trump. i do t know how else to say it, i agree with you there’s no evidence that fraud is why he lost.

that doesn’t mean something wrong didn’t happen here. somehow you can read the mind of whoever did it, and know he had no sinister intentions.

Well as we know if the conservatives don't like something they will stamp their feet, cry and not allocate $ to it.

I'd still rather live in Conn. then many of those #^&#^&#^&#^&hole conserv. states.

Today I really need an answer to one question: How many other Secretaries of State has Lindsey Graham called and asked to throw out legal ballots?

Why? It can't be the top 5 rankings in income, life expectancy, health care, education, or the fact that we don't take dramatically more $ from the feds than we pay in taxes (unlike basically every "Republican" state).

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

If anyone thinks KY is a shothole now imagine how bad it would be if they ever had to do w/o the transfer of funds from the liberal states. They get an amount equal to about 20% of their GDP from the government every year.

(1) our debt in CT is over $100B. what’s the annual delta between what we send to DC, and what we get back?

(2) i thought liberals supported the idea of wealth redistribution? how
about this, you think on it, decide what your opinion is, let me know, but try to stick to it, don’t do a 180 every time you think it bolsters your argument.

(3) you’re saying the state of Ct doesn’t get enough money to reasonably run a tiny state, from state taxes and casino revenue?

except that’s not true, no when it comes to helping people. you’ve seen the same data i have.

this nonsense is why trump gets called a racist despite doing more specifically for blacks, than any president in my lifetime ( lowest black unemployment ever, increased funding for black colleges, criminal justice reform, school choice. ). but he’s a racist. riiiight.

did you leave anything off that list? was that a selective list? be honest....

any list of the pros and cons of CT that doesn’t mention cost, is about as useful as evaluating the maiden voyage of the titanic, but without mentioning the iceberg ( the linens were comfortable, the paint was fresh, the artwork was exquisite, the food was fresh.)

there are towns in conservative states that have all the nice things you mentioned, at a fraction of the cost. which is why, despite your bullsh*t selective list, Ct is one of the few states that is losing population and shrinking its tax base, even before covid while
the rest of the country was booming.

i love it when liberals make it sound like the alternative to CT is Appalachia. look at towns in NH like Hollis/Brookline/Amherst, or Franklin TN where my brother lives. these states have zero income tax, yet in these towns they cannot build $600,000 houses fast enough. upper middle class families are moving here, not meth heads.

that’s your best counter argument? that just makes all
kinds of sense Paul. ignore what he factually did for blacks, to fabricate gibberish about what he does for actual racists.

you’re not embarrassed to type that nonsense?

So we have Trump not liking Ga recount, now he want WI recounts on in Dem county’s

And the real purpose behind the move isn't to arrive at an accurate tabulation of the votes, but rather to find what they allege are incidents of voter fraud in Democratic-dominated areas.

Didn’t realize that’s how it worked in America but seems acceptable in Trumps America.. even the Russian investigation started with actual events then an investigation. Republicans always start with accusations then look for evidence Why is that?

Because the hypocritical victims forget about things like this when they are projecting:

What was the most popular chant at the RNC convention in 2016?

Here's Tweety's future son-in-law tweeting

Matt Gaetz
@mattgaetz

US House candidate, FL-1
This is now the Left’s goal - throw President Trump, his administration officials, his family and his supporters in prison.

This is where we are now. Disgusting.

at this point all those who keep insisting this is about the integrity of our election. need to do so in public with their hand on the bible and their resignation from office in hand ... for siding with those who have participated in a Seditious Conspiracy .. but the law requires To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force

not by lies and trying to get to the supreme court in the hopes of getting sympathetic Court

Trump called wayne county election official and is inviting state senators to the white house .. WTF and the right has no issues with this either

If we live in a country with rule of law, prosecutors in Michigan should open a criminal investigation of trump and his pals for voter fraud and intimidating election officials.

I can't believe he made the call, now he's flying them to the WhiteHouse. I can't believe it's even legal.

In a few months when people will talk about all the lies, the politicizing of the justice dept., the counting of the votes, etc. the Repub, won't even remember it happened.

The black and brown vote killed Trump and yet the guy some say isn’t a racist, has been attempting to throw those black and brown votes out in his lame arse legal efforts. Trump has always been transparent only an idiot can’t see through his BS.
