I see that Abbot has rolled over for the Trumpists and will try to get ANOTHER re-recount in Texas. If you think about how likely it is there will be any real change (0%) … and if you assume that there’s SOMEBODY on the Trump team with a few neurons to rub together (I suppose it’s possible)… then you have to figure they have some other agenda. Most likely, they are still trying to keep “the base” riled up and convinced of yet another lie.
Regarding the Arizona biased “FRAUDit” conducted by Trump conspiracy theorists confirming not only that Biden did win in Arizona but increasing his margin of victory…
Gotta admit, I did not see that coming.
Doug Logan, owner of Cyber Ninjas, must have realized that if he made accusations against Dominion voting systems that were contradicted by previous real audits and real evidence, he would join the ranks of those being sued for defamation by Dominion.
Further, after receiving a warning from the Department of Justice (now under responsible management) about possible violations of federal election integrity laws, Logan must have further decided to go deeper down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories he knew to be contradicted by the evidence.
Still further, the House Select Committee on Elections had REQUESTED (not subpoenaed) Logan’s voluntary testimony and the preservation of records relating to his direct communications and involvement with the Trump organizations before and during the audit. So far Logan has rejected these voluntary requests, but it is almost certain that the next step will be subpoenas. Perhaps he did not want to report content that he knew he could not subsequently defend under oath.
Next up: a similar FRAUDit in … TEXAS!
(They do know that Trump won in Texas, don’t they?)
The audit is the point… Trump has kept his taxes out of the public’s view because “they are being audited”….. as long as his taxes are being audited, you can’t prove he’s a tax cheat…. he and his believers think that as long as the election is being audited, he still hasn’t officially lost….
The “audit” only proves that Republicans should redouble their efforts to prevent voter fraud. Stalin used to win elections with 99% of the vote. With proper legislation, that outcome can be realized!
Better check that grocery bag. It came from “Trump’s Finer Foods,” and there might be a few cockroaches at the bottom, munching on orange Cheetos crumbs. Trump’s: “If You Eat Our Stuff, You’ll Swallow Anything.”
CNN equated Qpublican efforts to push audits and voter suppression as them being Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner. Equally catastrophic results as even Qpublican voters are disqualified.
Now is the time to sue the Cyber-Ninjas for the cost to replace the voting machines they ruined , for all the man hours used to gather the info used , etc, etc,
What’s so amazing to me is that in this election, it was one of the fairest, most accurate elections in recent memory. And, to top it off, it was one of the best participated elections, too.
*On September 17, 1787, delegates left the Constitutional Convention in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. As they exited, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government do we have? “A Republic,” he replied, “if you can keep it.”
Like the mightiest Redwood in the forest, our nation can withstand any attack thrown at it from the outside. But, unfortunately, the weakness and our fallibility are coming from the rot within. And unless we respond, we won’t be a democracy in the future. Instead, we will be an autocratic dictatorship.
At this very moment, the trump-Republican party is laying the groundwork to make sure we, as a nation, cannot keep our Republic. Never for a minute did I think the amateur/fake audit in Arizona would say that President Biden did not win state. The 2020 election was already decided, and Biden was sworn in. These trump-Republicans know 2020 wouldn’t be reversed, despite what they say in interviews. Multiple states would have to flip for trump to have won the Electoral College, and that was undoable…this time.
The whole point of the fake audit in Arizona and now in Texas (a state trump won) is to make these baseless and asinine challenges to our elections feel commonplace. Precedent is being set for trump to return in 2024 and retake the White House without winning the actual election. Never has our Republic been in greater danger.
The 2020 Election was saved by a handful of public servants in different states, many of whom were Real-Republicans, who would not bend to pressure from trump. These Real-Republicans deserve our highest honor. However, trump-Republicans crave power at any cost and have replaced these incorruptible officials or take control away from their offices in preparation for 2024.
I implore all voters, Democrat, Independent, and Real-Republicans, to stand against this internal attack on our Republic.
But think of all the folk who had a paying job during this “tempest”.. and the publicity, priceless. Gave trump’s team time to work up enthusiasm for rules about the next election.
Conman Rump made $100 mill off his “Stop The Steal” and line my pockets campaign. He’ll still go around claiming the triple recount was rigged. His moronic minions will go along with it, hook, line and sinker, as usual. A double Rump win and he didn’t spend a dime for it.
‘Pretty much the ball game’: Trump just lost any chance of being able to claim executive privilege
Trump is claiming that his status as a former president allows him to retain executive privilege rights, which is wrong. The ability to invoke executive privilege rests only with the current president, and is well-defined.
“The president has already concluded it would not be appropriate to exert executive privilege,” Psaki told Huffpost White House correspondent S.V. Dáte when asked.
(Dáte is the reporter who possibly is best-known for asking then-President Donald Trump last year in August, live and on-camera, “do you regret at all, all the lying that you’ve done to the American people?”)
Top national security expert and attorney Bradley Moss quickly weighed in, saying “this would pretty much be the ball game on that issue,” meaning there’s nearly no chance Trump will get that protection, barring “intervention” from the Library of Congress’s Archivist.
Former Arizona GOP AG accuses Trump’s vote auditors of succeeding at doing what the Russians failed to do
Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former Republican Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods trashed the just-completed “audit” of 2020 presidential ballots in Maricopa County, saying everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves for looking for fraud where none exists — before adding that the pro-Donald Trump auditors are helping America’s enemies.
Speaking with host Ali Velshi — with the MSNBC host calling the shenanigans in Arizona a “fraudit” — Woods called the Cyber Ninja organization a bunch of “grifters” before suggesting those who are trying to overturn the election of doing what the Russian’s couldn’t do in 2020.
Speaking of the GOP legislature, Woods bluntly stated, “They brought in the clown show, and even the clowns couldn’t rig it so that the numbers were changed. They could just come up with a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to continue to cast doubt on our elections and our processes. There’s a group of people, these Cyber Ninjas and their ilk — they’re grifters and they find a home in Trump world because there are a lot of grifters there and then you have the dummies out there who were willing to be susceptible.”
I have two concerns. They will use this against us, should they have frauditors that are willing to commit crimes and make up voter fraud and turn the results to the Orange Turd, they will use the, “Oh, you were OK when the results went your way.”
The other concern is that this will give Arizona a chance to buy voting machines that are more easily rigged, such as the ones that have gained interest as being suspect in Kentucky, allegedly.
Everyone should be pissed at the millions of dollars Republicans are willing to waste on fraudits and replacing compromised voting machines that will not change the presidency. The election has been certified and President Joe Biden has been inaugurated.
These fraudits only have to do with learning new and improved ways for Republicons to steal future elections. Don’t let your guard down, they really are as evil and corrupt as they appear.
A little quick on the trigger there chief. Pretty funny watching the news outlets ignore the actual findings.
The audit report does not make any claims about who won or lost. It simply presents facts for AZ authorities to examine and hopefully act on.
17,322 envelopes with the official “VERIFIED AND APPROVED” hand stamp PREPRINTED BEHIND the signature box. Each is a duplicate of an envelope already received and counted. That is 16,934 duplicate ballots counted. 376 triplicates. 12 quads. The margin of victory in AZ was less than 10,500.
In addition to the 17,322 duplicate ballots the audit identified 57,734 with problems and flaws that by LAW should have caused election officials to disqualify them and not count them.
Using file timestamps the auditors were able to show election officials overwriting security log files on video in real time. The file timestamps allowed them to go to the specific moment in security videos and watch the keystrokes on keyboards. The alterations were made in Feb, Mar & April OF THIS YEAR. The 3rd taking place the day before the systems were finally handed over to the auditors. Those videos and names have been turned over to AZ law enforcement.
Auditors discovered election data on the Maricopa County machines from South Carolina and Washington State. Seemingly impossible, unless the machines were illegally tied into the internet, or, Dominion employees mistakenly deposited the data during “maintenance” work.
