OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Poupou Escobar]

Do you think the merkin will look for voter fraud in Arizona where the postal vote seems to be favouring him?

Why would the postal vote favour him when we have the narrative that postal votes only favour the Democrats?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

General accepted practice is that you don’t claim it exists unless you have evidence.

Well I asked you what would constitute evidence in your opinion. One person's evidence is another's coincidence. This is how two humans can see the same thing and draw different conclusions.

I’ll take anything other than hot air at this point.

Are you referring to Poo's post or the stifling heat of Yorkey's Knob?

Give an example of how you think voter fraud would be revealed in the current US political climate. What should the discerning punter realistically be looking for?

Faithless electors.

For me, there's so much bullshit posted in the media these days that nobody gives a shit anymore, especially when it comes to U.S. politics. Our own are following suit.....

By the way, I’m willing to concede that voter fraud may very well be rife. I watched IALB’s video which points to some suss stuff.

I also accept that it is probably very hard to prove. Even if Trump did present evidence it won’t be universally accepted as the truth. Take the video as an example. Plenty of people will watch that and think it’s bullshit.

'Fact checkers' will tell us whether the evidence is legitimate or not. Unlike the rest of us they are non-partisan.

Which one? The cart carrying ballots into the polling station at 4am is bullshit. Dunno about the other ones but I believe the USPS one. And it seems that one will be investigated.

People voting more than once, anonymous voting, people’s votes being taken by other people, dead people voting, evidence of people’s votes being backdated and deemed eligible, people being paid to vote.

It's been at 99% for about 3 weeks. I suspect he'll win it in the recount.

recounts rarely change the result. But they will have one as the difference will be less 0.5%

However Georgia is run by republicans. All officials are republicans. They are in charge of the election/count in that state. Is trump going to claim his own party is now rigging the election for the other side .....

Is Georgia the state where the late John McCain is from? Trump wasn’t kind to him and his family.

 

[Gronk]

Giggity.

no that’s Arizona. He is behind there and it’s been a solid red state.

John Lewis is from Georgia and he wasn’t exactly kind to him either this year when he died.

I wasn't being entirely serious but I had forgotten it was Republican. Now that they know it's crucial maybe they'll look extra hard at some of those ballots.

Voter fraud happens occasionally but never enough to affect an election result.

If the Democratic Party were so good at producing 10,000’s of fraudulent voters as suggested why wouldn’t they do it to ensure they won the senate majority (almost as important as the president result), or in other states so the result didn’t come down to the wirer.

On that video, google project veritas, make your own mind up as to their reliability.
