This has turned into kind of a weird election. And this is just based on social media, not any reporting. But based on vibes from Republicans, you'd expect Democrats to end up with 55 Senate seats. But based on the vibes from Democrats, you'd expect 50.500001.
@DonSchumacher@jamesetta_w “Jeffries is responsible for checking and reigning in an executive branch that has far overstepped their constitutional authority”
He is a Minority leader. What can he realistically do that he hasn’t done already.
Also yes he should communicate with people from the executive.
@TheArchiveKid@neocounterconor@WhickTv@jstlk_ Users in theses servers aren’t separate communities. They share members. And it seems like it’s snarked communities doing the most insane shit. There has been at least a few doxes that have been seen (Destiny being swatted, shamoo shit, Whick now). It seems like a reoccurrence.
@TheArchiveKid@neocounterconor@WhickTv@jstlk_ Yeah because the server has been doxing dozens of people, not just Whick?????? Maybe you would want to wait and see how far it went and gather MORE evidence? Cause you know, he’s on trial and maybe been dealing with that first? This is so stupid.
This is a great example of election fraud stuff where the truth takes actual explaining while the lie/exaggeration is simple, quippy, and made for social media.
Real: Fulton County admitted that ~315,000 early votes were certified without required poll worker signatures on tabulator tapes. This is an actual procedural violation. The State Election Board voted 3-0 to refer it to the AG's office, and someone is likely getting fined (not jail, bc it wasn't criminal).
The tabulator tape violation IS serious. Missing signatures on 130+ tapes is not a clerical typo. It's a real chain-of-custody failure that deserved exactly the scrutiny it got/is getting.
But there's a difference between "Fulton County had sloppy election administration" and "the election was 100% stolen." Georgia counted its ballots THREE times — machine tabulation, full hand recount of every ballot, second machine recount. Biden's margin held every time (it actually grew!) Also, fraud claims were examined by Republican-led audits, state investigators, the GBI, and the FBI. None of it held up.
A violation like this can tell you procedural errors were made, but it can't tell you votes were changed. Only investigations and recounts can, both of which we had.
We can demand accountability for the real failures to improve trust without allowing them to be hijacked by B.S. claims.
@PoliticalKiwi There is some legitimate worry about this map. This is not the first time Maryland tried passing a 8-0 map and last time we tried, The courts toss it and have us our current 7-1 map. There is a possibility of history repeating itself and Maryland being stuck with a 6-2.
NEW — Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson says members of the Senate Democratic Caucus "do not support moving forward" with the 8-0 congressional map.
