So in other words, NC, like GA will count for as long as it takes for the left to win lol.

No not really :)rolleyes:). Their counting procedure delays counting absentee till after the in person ones are counted. Other states count them before. SOme states cant touch them till specifc days after the election. These are GOP legislative actions not Dems that set this up. They arent "finding" votes or whatever BS conspiracy is being pushed.

Believe me when I say if the Dems were rigging this election, Mitch McConnell would have lost, the Senate would have flipped and the House would not have lost 7 seats.

Technically we don't KNOW they arent finding votes. But yeah the votes that are being counted later seem to be just following the state laws put in place. I dont think its anything too nefarious.

There was zero way to cheat to beat Mitch. Lol. I think you can hypothetically cheat on the margins a bit, but you can't just make up 20+ points. You may have a point on the house stuff.

Hopefully state legislatures (whether GOP or Dem) try to get closer in line with whatever the hell Florida does. Seems like they got it figured out anyway.

I'm not gonna question things too much. You win some, you lose some. Looks like they'll probably get to the bottom of it anyway.

Can't speak for other states, but in GA, only dem strongholds all of sudden pressed pause on counts. All others had their stuff done on time. No surprise it was Fulton and Dekalb (and still Gwinnett).... GA AG just said a recount is likely, and all the little things will be investigated due to small margin. There are potentially around 8.9k military ballots outstanding here. They have to be in by today though. Not sure how many will show up, or what the breakout might be. With Biden only leading by about 1K, anything could still happen.

“Hours before President Donald Trump went on national television Thursday to declare the inherent illegitimacy of ballots received after Nov. 3, local Republican officials recruited volunteers to call Pennsylvania voters and urge them to get their ballots in by Friday—three days after Election Day,” The Daily Beast reported late Thursday evening.

“The request, election lawyers say, appears to flagrantly run afoul of state law. Under Pennsylvania law and a recent state Supreme Court decision, absentee and mail-in ballots are valid as long as they were postmarked by Election Day and received by Nov. 6. Any Trump supporter who sends in their ballots either Thursday or Friday would not have it postmarked within the acceptable deadline—creating the precise situation that the president himself has deemed fraudulent and corrupt,” The Beast explained.

ON THE PODCAST: Election Day 2000... all over again?
“The email, which was sent by the group Kenosha For Trump and forwarded to The Daily Beast, said it was marshaling the effort on behalf of Trump Victory, the committee established by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee to run the field program for the president’s re-election,” The Beast noted.

The Beast interviewed Jonathan Diaz, the chief counsel for the Campaign Legal Center.

“This seems like encouraging people to improperly submit ballots that should not be counted,” Diaz noted. “That would be exactly what the president and his campaign are accusing Democrats of doing.”

Attorney Ben Geffen of the Public Interest Law Center in Philadelphia wondered if there might be a darker motivation.

“I wonder if they’re doing this in hopes of slipping one through and then waving it around as an example of the flawed process,” Geffen said. “The real story is, it sounds like the Trump campaign is promoting cheating.”

Ah c'mon now, two lefts don't make a right.

Two lefts just makes a progressive regressive. Hmmmmm

Comrade Cheetolini was my favorite.

I like that one, but Cheetolini isn't really Russian-esqe. Sounds Italian. Several were pretty funny TBH.

I wish we would have known at the time though that Hilldog was basically paying for Russian spy subsource, or the Biden family was receiving millions from Yury Luzhkov's widow. It could have been Comrade Hilldogarova. I guess it could still be Comrade Bidensky.

It will be fascinating to see what happens to the GOP post-Trump. There are tons of positive aspects of his Presidency and the new coalition it has built.

How will the GOP maintain those voters while eliminating the toxic aspects of Trump? The playbook of the GOP needs to be to continue to chop away at the Democratic media apparatus, retain or expand the Trump coalition, and find a new leader that can similarly drive enthusiasm while not alienating moderates in the suburbs.

Even though he almost certainly lost, the combination of Trump's new coalition and the insanity of the Progressive Left has somehow left the GOP in a position of strength IMO.

Agreed. I think the keys are...

1) find a likeable guy/gal that's not a dick, and doesn't have twitter
2) retain the anti-DC, and anti-socialist elements
3) continue to grow AA and Latino support

Give me some combo of Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem, Tom Cotton, Ron DeSantis...

The first two would be my preferred ticket.

Its time for the country to go hard right.

Carl A. Anderson of the Knights of Columbus Party will be able to mobilize his own army of brownshirts in the form of Knights to launch a Thousand Year Republic.

I'm sure he'll likely run, but doubt he'd make the top 2 of the primary. Haley has been one of the Vegas and insider favorites for a few years now. Pence's best chance went out the window with Trump's loss. I don't mind Pence all that much, but he's an easy target for the left.

A Haley/Scott ticket would make it very difficult for the left to attack. Minority woman and 2 term governor with INTL experience, and a minority man who is the first AA to serve in both the House and Senate. Good luck to anyone trying to paint them as racist or misogynists lol. And keep in mind it was Haley that appointed Scott 6 years ago to the Senate to replace Demint. It would be a good team, and two that are already familiar with each other.

Biden is taking all of your guns, that's if Antifa doesn't end civilization first.

We're all waiting for Beto's appointment to US Gun Czar. He might have to give up his poetry and band though.

Pence talking makes me want to take a nap about as bad as Biden. Need to have some fire without being a complete d-bag. I may be the only person who cares anymore but give me someone with executive experience- Biden hasn't made an executive decision in 50 years of office. Desantis has potential - he can champion the Florida vote process and expand the Hispanic inroads. Kristi Noam has some PILF potential too. Go to governors first, they also have less swamp stink about them.

As much as I like a Haley/Scott ticket - would be very weird having two South Carolinians. Haley definitely a player.

Ultimate cock block would be Trump to endorse Ivanka. She would be hard to stop.

Me and the boys IRL when Antifa comes rolling up on the prairie in their fleet of certified pre-owned KIAs.

A huge no thanks to any of the Trump children. Maybe Baron in a few decades lol.

Not sure being from the same state would really matter with Haley and Scott though. They're very different aside from being GOP. Haley literally checks all the boxes. Gov, INTL, articulate, intelligent, women, minority. Scott, smart, articulate, likable, working class background, minority.

I do like Noem and Desantis too, but think Noem's background is far inferior to Haley's, and Desantis might be an easy target. I'd prefer a female presidential candidate, and male VP. Doubt Desantis would want to settle for VP to Haley.

I've got no beef with Baron...

But the older kids might all be worse than their dad in their own ways lol.

Jr tries so hard to come off as an alpha, and it's so ineffective, that South Park couldn't make a funnier character.

Dominion voting equipment is used in most Michigan counties, including Wayne County, but not in Oakland or Macomb counties.

Dominion Voter Systems was chosen by Georgia this spring

At least Erie uses it with a quick search https://northeastpaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/How-to-of-Dominion-Voting.pdf

Tinfoil is getting tingly. This would be way too easy to prove - I can't imagine cheating like this when old school methods are so much safer. Then again I can't imagine a four year Russia collusion hoax either.

You are talking about different Senator Scott's I think. The one from Florida is very white and very wealthy. The one from South Carolina is very black and I have no clue regarding his net worth
