I have to eat my hat now. 2020 voter fraud has been found. It’s illegally given 5 seats to republican candidates in the Senate and moved at least two states from Biden’s to trump’s column making the race seem much closer than it was. ES&S not Dominion was the guilty outfit. Organized crime supporting the party of by and for organized crime.

Hope we can maintain the same standards of evidence that courts had for Trump's claims.   Some of the mismatch could relate to (nonfraudulent) Independent voters who didn't like Trump but were willing to vote McConnell back in.   Some of the figures in the article just use Dem and GOP numbers,  and don't factor in Indies. 

The mismatch between registered voters totals and citizen populations is weird.   Could be sloppiness rather than hijinks.   Worth looking into the rolls.

How did Alvin Greene win the Democratic primary for US Senator when even he didn’t know who he was? 

So you're saying that he was an unwitting stalking horse, didn't realize where his money was really coming from.   Is it possible for McGrath,  too?   A less strong candidate gets a surprising amount of money, wins the primary,  then their weaknesses reveal in the general.   I didn't follow KY,  so have no idea how she was as a candidate.

WASHINGTON — Undeterred by dismissals and admonitions from judges, President Donald Trump’s campaign continued with its unprecedented efforts to overturn the results of the Nov 3. election Sunday, saying it had filed a new petition with the Supreme Court.

The petition seeks to reverse a trio of Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases having to do with mail-in ballots and asks the court to reject voters’ will and allow the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pick its own slate of electors.

While the prospect of the highest court in the land throwing out the results of a democratic election based on unfounded charges of voter fraud is extraordinary unlikely, it wouldn’t change the outcome. President-elect Joe Biden would still be the winner even without Pennsylvania because of his wide margin of victory in the Electoral College.


“The petition seeks all appropriate remedies, including vacating the appointment of electors committed to Joseph Biden and allowing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to select their replacements,” Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani said in a statement.

He is asking the court to move swiftly so it can rule before Congress meets on Jan. 6 to tally the vote of the Electoral College, which decisively confirmed Biden’s win with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232. But the justices are not scheduled to meet again, even privately, until Jan 8, two days after Congress counts votes.

No.

The article said the numbers didn’t add up for McConnell to win. Greene was a mystery man.

Nothing deep.

She was a national candidate got huge amounts of out of state money but she barely beat Charles Booker who was a more charismatic candidate.

McGrath was a lousy candidate and hopefully the last time the Democrats try to beat a right winger with a moderate. Who wants Republican lite when they can vote for the real thing?
