2020 Congressional Election

Well this sucks:

Raw Story: BUSTED? Why the numbers behind Mitch McConnell's re-election don't add up

The entire article makes a very good case, worth reading. But just look at this particular evidence:
McConnell racked up huge vote leads in traditionally Democratic strongholds, including counties that he had never before carried.There were wide, unexplained discrepancies between the vote counts for presidential candidates and down-ballot candidates....Kentucky and many other states using vote tabulation machines made by Election Systems & Software all reported down-ballot race results at significant odds with pre-election polls. ...
In rural Breathitt County, for instance, there are 9,508 registered Democrats and just 1,599 registered Republicans. The county has a history of close contests, but Amy McGrath got only 1,652 votes versus 3,738 for McConnell, a 67% to 29% trouncing. McGrath's votes, if accurate, equaled only 17% of registered Democrats in Breathitt County. ...

McConnell's results were even more out of whack in two other nearby Appalachian counties. In his six previous Senate elections, Elliott and Wolfe counties had never voted for McConnell. Even up to last year, Elliott County remained reliably Democratic in non-presidential races, voting for the party's entire Democratic slate in both the 2015 and 2019 statewide elections. Yet in 2020, McConnell won 64% of the votes in Wolfe County and 66% of the votes in Elliott County. McGrath only got 21% of registered Democrats in Wolfe and 20% in Elliott. ...

Before anyone puts this down to some anti-McGrath vote, that makes no sense. She polled consistently as well as McConnell did in the months before the election.


Made me wonder about Lindsay Graham's election and what a surprise:

South Carolina’s Voting Machines Are Vulnerable to Attacks
Two of the state’s voting systems connect to the Internet, making them accessible for voters who are stationed overseas but also increasing the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches that could result in fraud. Those voting machines:
Election Systems & Software (ES&S), the company responsible for the branded "ExpressPoll" software and accompanying tablets and ballot printers, submitted its answer to the state's request for proposals for new poll books this summer.

In that documentation, ES&S states that the poll books have "a web-based application that allows election officials to monitor poll activity from connected ExpressPoll devices used across the jurisdiction, in near-real time." The ExpressPoll devices would be able to connect to a central server "by way of MiFi device provided by a telecommunications provider such as Verizon," the document stated. MiFi devices are portable, wireless routers that act as Wi-Fi hotspots. They can connect to cell phone networks and provide internet access for multiple devices.

I really don't want to drift off into a CT. It's especially troublesome given Trump is claiming all sorts of cheating and there is no evidence other than Trump thinks he won because he's so great and votes against him came in later than the votes for him.

But this is different. Here are some very clear discrepancies that cannot be easily explained.


I'm still not convinced the Diebold company and Ken Blackburn, the guy in charge of the election in Ohio, didn't pull some shenanigans allowing GW Bush to win that critical key state in 2004. But that's water under the bridge.

I hope Biden's AG will look into this. Biden prefers to stay out of DoJ business and that's good.


ETA: Georgia uses Dominion machines.

What are the odds on the elections being settled on the 5th? Pretty much nil, I'd guess. And of course if the Dem's win the R's will simply claim fraud again.

I believe Perdue's term ended yesterday, is that correct?

Even without any intentional shenanigans, I'd wager we won't know before the end of the week. We're polling within 2% for both races, so one or more of the races being within 1% isn't a crazy scenario.

I'm so glad this is Georgia where Raffensperger has proven his honestly running the election.

Perdue's term certainly expires.
Loeffler? Probably not, as that is a special election.



ETA: nitpick: runoff is on the fifth.

The results are not expected to be in by the 6th, so Perdue won't have a vote on the 6th.... and hopefully not for the next 6 years at least. :)
 
As Trump flies into the Georgia rally they are playing Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival. At first I thought it was just CSPAN playing it over the video as someone's idea of a nasty joke, but it was actually playing at the rally.

Now I read that Trump has used the song at his rallies before. And apparently not in any sort of ironic way. I'm not sure what he thinks the song means. It's probably just because it has the words "hail to the chief" in it.

Forgery had issued a cease and desist order. Trump don't care.
 
Trump seemed to forget that Perdue is in quarantine and not at the rally as he called for him to come up on stage.

“Together, we’re going to defeat the Democrat extremists and deliver a thundering victory to David Perdue. Where’s David, David, David? We love our David, I know David so well.”

I bet Trump wouldn't recognize Perdue if he ran over him with his golf cart.

He also said he'd be back to campaign against Republican Gov. Brian Kemp who refused to play along with his allegations of voter fraud. I wonder if Kemp still feels so loyal?

More evidence Trump is so preoccupied with himself to the exclusion of everyone else.

Maybe he has a fantasy he actually fought in Vietnam.

I'm convinced that Trump directly chooses the music for these events. I'm not sure he has listened to any new music after 1984. He usually ends with YMCA. It is so odd to see Trump and his supporters singing and dancing to a quintessential gay men's anthem.

But the choice of music after Fortunate Son was equally odd: Elton John, Queen, David Bowie, Village People.

Is...is Donald Trump a disco queen? Does he spend his nights in drag lavished in gold lamé and sequins prancing around a disco ball in the Lincoln bedroom?

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I think the members who are now reaching for the brain bleach to try and get that image out of their heads may disagree with you! :eek:
 
Trump Tweets

Reports are coming out of the 12th Congressional District of Georgia that Dominion Machines are not working in certain Republican Strongholds for over an hour. Ballots are being left in lock boxes, hopefully they count them. Thank you Congressman @RickAllen!
