Jeez, I wonder what the AZ audit will uncover...



certainly not fraud/abuse/error/glitches. most secure. ever.

so baseless:


My first job was at a large scale scanning software company. One of our clients was DC Tax; I'm trying to imagine a 70% OCR error rate.

And I'm saying that sincerely, not being snarky.

I look forward to Joe Biden being sworn in on Jan 20th and then Trump fading away to NY state prison.

Dont be delusional that will never happen, he's done nothing illegal. Not to mention it would set absolutely horrible precedent.

I mean your the side that keeps thinking something is going to happen and Trump will somehow win. I also don't really care about presidents being arrested and if it sets precedent or not.

And we will see if the NY AG says he has done illegal things or not. I put the odds much much higher then anything coming from the Hunter Biden laptop.

Trump isn't going to win that's also silly. The there was no election fraud narrative is also dumb, there was definitely election fraud and probably enough to send Joe over edge, but Trump will never prove it.

Trump won, the problem is getting the conspiracy theorists to stop pushing their false narrative.

I'm not happy about that, but I accept the reality of it.


Frankly, it disturbs me a tad to see all of the people who, a few years ago, were mocking all of the #NotMyPresident folks, now becoming #NotMyPresident folks.

I do not believe Biden won legitimately either. Yes, the electoral college voted, and yes it's probably over, but there's so much statistical, circumstantial, and physical evidence that Trump won I hope he fights until the morning of 20 Jan, if necessary, to make this right.

If Joe Biden knows there was widespread fraud, even if he had nothing to do with perpetrating it, he should concede the election for the good of the country.

Did Lance Armstrong win? Did the Black Sox win?

And what exactly does the Constitution say should happen on Jan 6th when Pence is presented with the alternative electors' votes from (7) states?

One was a completely fabricated story made up to delegitimize and sow doubt in everything the president did from that day forward, including these claims.
The other is completely true, based on mountains of factual & provable evidence.

That's not the same thing. The dims in Michigan decided to certify the votes and made Biden the winner. The electoral votes go to Biden, even if there was rampant vote fraud.

Why was none of this evidence presented in any of the 50-60 court cases that trump brought?? Wouldn't that have swayed the judges trump and co installed at the very least??

Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times, as well as a Bronze medal in the 2000 summer Olympics. He also won many other, less widely publicized contests of a bicycle-related nature.

Assuming you mean the Chicago White Sox in 1919 (major league baseball was still segregated at that time, so there we no black players on the team), no, they lost that series 3-5 against Cincinnati.

Congress will consider their votes. If both chambers of Congress agree to accept them, they they will be counted. If both chambers of Congress do not agree, then the Certificate of Ascernment issued by the governor of each state will act as the tie-breaker for any states in which the two chambers of Congress do not agree.

That's an interesting perspective.

You keep mentioning things like "factual evidence," which suggests to me that you believe that facts and truth do (or should) have some influence on electoral politics in the US.

Wait a sec...





Are you now claiming that the president-elect is illegally using performance-enhancing drugs, and that members of the electoral college accepted bribes from a gambling syndicate?
