My reply to @DataRepublican
There are two issues I see:
1. As they are now, the recent midterms and almost all prior elections for the past twenty years should not have been certified. This is because the voter rolls make it impossible to attest that the final count is accurate or legitimate. All events downstream of the rolls are corrupted and rendered useless by this problem.
2. Whether actual fraud occurred in this specific election. @DataRepublican sees early voting exit polls matching the results, and @CynicalPublius points out that the results are consistent with demographic shifts. Neither data point eliminates the possibility of fraud if the exit polls and demographic shift are related to non-citizen or phantom voters registered to vote, and in some cases voting.
In my opinion, no elections should take place until the rolls are not just fixed, but first destroyed and then rebuilt. That has been my position since about 2022. However, it's not easy to stop something that has so much history and momentum behind it.
Like an axle that has snagged a wire, eventually the wire will be spooled and the axle will jerk to a stop of its own accord. We should be there right now, but keep pressing forward despite the difficulty of driving with a compromised axle.
@RedState I would like a serious answer as to why the senate has not confirmed judge appointments for President Trump. No snarky answers, just some reason that makes sense. And why hasn't Trump complained about this more?
@BeccaJLower@RedState This entire article is based on Trump saying "I wanted to make a change...Sometimes in life, you have to make moves.” That’s it. So informative /sarc.
@MrAndyNgo Zephyr will not say the Pledge of Allegience, even when in the statehouse. Legislators are supposed to take an oath to defend the constitution and mean it.
@GneissName@JovanHPulitzer Yes, I was just speaking of "machine vote injection", which I assume meant that more votes were added to the count. Extra ballots would have to start with registrations. Added votes would have to include a registration, ballot sent, ballot received.
@JunkScience Thune said he was willing to consider Supreme Court justices. Too squishy. I don’t trust him to follow through. I could totally see them convincing a justice or two to retire then not confirming, or having something “happen” to prevent it.
@GneissName@JovanHPulitzer I work elections. I don’t see how this can happen. It would be easily identified when the number of ballots counted exceeds the number of returned or voted. Every ballot is tracked, when it leaves and when it comes back, in the mail or in the polls.
@MTGOP I see something wrong, and it’s the MTGOP doing their dumbass purity test instead of getting Republicans elected. Can we get some leadership laser focused on that instead of their individual, single-issue shame-fest? You are to blame for Tuesday’s results.
@Anc_Aesthetics Using these betting sites as polls is ruining predictions. At first it sounded good, people put their money where they think it will win, but that it not the way it works. Stop relating these bets to votes.
@marklevinshow Who can crush them? There are 2 in the USA.
· BreakThrough News (Singham network) — New York-based media outlet
· World Socialist Web Site — Primarily U.S.-based Trotskyist publication (international in reach)
@MTJakeEaton O'Brien just did not want to endure the humiliation of Democrats in Montana. What does it say when the party chair resigns 3 weeks before election day? Bankhead is not the only Democrat running, and O'Brien let the rest of them down.
@paulsperry_ USA will be paying for this for at least 40 years, because besides the coup, #Russiagate caused unhinged freakout every time the president or any cabinet secretary talks to Russia. I guarantee that the coup is clouding the relationship with NATO, the EU, and Russia. And for what?
