Early voting ends with record 3M Georgia voters for US Senate runoffs (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)

Just over 4.9 million voted in the primary.

Iowa's 2nd Congressional District election, 2020

Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) was certified as the winner of the general election for Iowa's 2nd Congressional District on November 30, 2020, after a recount showed her defeating Rita Hart (D) by six votes.

Three recounts

Tenney keeps lead in undecided NY 22nd as ballots go to judge Dec 30, Syracuse.com

Claudia Tenney has maintained her lead in the last undecided Congressional race in the country, but just barely, and much is yet to come in the race.

Tenney has a lead of 29 votes in the 22nd Congressional District after Oneida County announced its completed tally Wednesday. Oneida County finally finished up its review of about 1,800 affidavit ballots that were not included in the initial count.

That 29-vote lead represents the end, nearly two months later, of the unofficial vote counting for the district, which contains all or part of eight Upstate New York counties. More than 318,000 voters cast ballots in the race between incumbent Anthony Brindisi (D-Utica) and Tenney, a Republican from New Hartford.

But much is yet to come in the race. About 400 to 500 ballots will be sent to State Supreme Court Judge Scott DelConte, who will add them to a pile of ballots from other counties that are being contested by either candidate. (cont)

Trump caught on tape trying to pressure Georgia officials into making up 11,000 votes in order for him to steal the election. Absolutely wild, never thought I would see something like this in the United States.

Before Donald Trump I didn't think authoritarianism could take hold in America. I no longer think that. Sadly, 1/3 of the country will follow a wannabe authoritarian even if he is the antithesis of every "value" they previously claimed to hold dear.

Trump is so unamerican and has so little respect for democratic values that it makes me sick he ever served a day as President.

The call was selectively leaked, meaning only certain portions were covered by "media". Talking heads declare it a scandal, RINOs and Dems who stand to lose condemn it.

The full portion of the call is released, showing that POTUS simply berated the GA AG for being an incompetent boob (he is) and to find the votes that numerous forensic/data experts have testified under oath that were shifted or lost using servers connected to the internet.

It's not that hard to look at this stuff, but so many people are either unwilling to look elsewhere or admit they're wrong. Standby for more lunacy this week.

The Associated Press obtained the record of the call and has included audio and included a transcript of Trump and the Georgia Secretary of State with others.
https://apnews.com/article/election...ia-elections-d503c8b4e58f7cd648fbf9a746131ec9

From the transcript, Trump begins the conversation by enumerating the conspiracy theories that Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani asserted in Georgia courts:
- 250-300k voters appeared on voter rolls mysteriously
- a couple of hundred thousand voter signatures were forged
- 50 thousand Trump voters were told they could not vote when they showed up at the polling stations
- over 18k voters who did not have addresses but just a PO box # were allowed to vote
- 5k out of state residents were allowed to vote
- ballots were brought in suitcases mysteriously when no poll watchers were around
- 5k dead people voted
- Fulton County and other areas burned, shredded ballots and removed counting machines. He estimates up to 3000 pounds of ballots were destroyed this way
- The equipment on Dominion machines that were removed was "changed" and "moved the inner parts of the machines and replaced them with other parts". Does he mean software was changed?
- Detroit, Pennsylvania and Michigan, in general, voter fraud claims are repeated.

Then, Meadows steps in to "give Brad a chance". It goes on....

It all sounds pretty sad and consistent with his personality disorder pathology. He asserts he won Georgia by "hundreds of thousands of votes".

Is it really a third of the country wants to follow this man in his pursuit of personal power?

In the full version what was the good part that everyone is missing? Personally, I listened to the whole thing and I didn't see the genius on display.

If numerous experts have testified under oath wouldn't the GOP leadership in Georgia do something about it?

Hook line and sinker on Russian collusion for four years as gospel truth but now our elections are impossible to hack/steal/cheat. Dems are easy to figure out. They are doing everything they accuse you of.

I like the narrative surrounding more votes than voters - I think PA had 200,000 more votes than people assigned as voting in the election. Immediately people pounce on so many more registered voters than votes. That is not what was said and jumping so quickly and emphatically on the misdirection tells me you know it. How do you have hundreds of thousands more votes than people recorded as having voted?

The one dude claimed to have his folks live hack a Georgia Senate race Dominion machine during testimony, crickets. It is bizarro world stuff - there are no facts anywhere, just narrative. Live data showing anyone's numbers go down on a regular basis is just horrible optics if truly legit - the volume and scope is huge and oddly NEVER adjusts in the opposite direction? How does that work exactly?

Thus the call in question. Calling the guy out directly for ignoring piles of evidence. Buy hey - Stacy Abrams sister is a judge there, she can give us an unbiased ruling on it.

How come they haven't used the piles of evidence in court? If a person in the public like yourself has the evidence, wouldn't this be an easy thing to put in front of a judge?

Just doesn't make sense to claim there is piles of evidence yet.....Tom Cotton and the like are saying to give it up? He surely, isn't a RINO?

Because you can lie to the public. You can't lie to a judge.

I have not followed it that closely to know exactly what has and has not been presented in court versus presented to various governing bodies. Just because you have evidence does not mean you win. I am jealous of people who have lived a life that has them convinced that being right counts for jack shit. You may be too young for OJ Simpson but he did not kill his wife as proven in court.

 

[RDU Irish]

Let me carry out this logic... evidence used in court is either right or wrong. If it is wrong the person bringing it is instantly jailed. Is that how this works?

So if someone who hasn't even followed it closely has access to piles of evidence, why hasn't Brian Kemp (Not a RINO, like, at all) done something about it?

Help us understand the logic and thought process.

1. Piles of evidence
2. Not all of it brought to the courts, because....?
3. GOP Governor doesn't step in, because.....?
4. ????
5. Dems clearly cheated.

I wonder if Loeffler bought stock in Warnock a couple weeks ago?

I wonder if Loeffler bought stock in Warnock a couple weeks ago?

We got us a solid dogfight here, eh?

Unless you are pretty far left, the best thing that can happen tonight is the GOP wins...one or both of these. If you are moderate, you probably want at most one Dem to win.

We shall see how it goes.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Looks like both are flipping blue.

Can't wait for the Supreme Court to have 32 justices

If they try expanding the judiciary, secession would be the answer. That should be non-negotiable.

I think Manchin and a few others would prevent that.

It's my understanding that if either wins by less than a 1/2 percent, they have to have another runoff.

I don’t think so. Within half a percent they can request a recount.

I feel bad for the kids having to grow up in the this screwed up country. Girls have to worry about going to the bathroom, the dumb ass dems don’t want you to call your mom mother, they want to pay off off college debts for kids that decided to go to college, this county is as backwards.

If you work for your stuff you get punished. Everyone want something for free it ridiculous. A lazy screwed up society. PS if you don’t like what I have to say I don’t care.

Amen. And apparently Awomen. This is a really bad day for America and we will slowly realize the effects of it and look back in ~8 years and be sad and shocked and what we let happen.

I feel terrible for my boys. Can I say boys?

Yeah the whole call was actually worse, yet Trump loyalists just gobble up whatever talking points their grifters feed them and regurgitate it.

 

[IrishLax]

So Republicans lose both Senate seats in Georgia. Looks like spending two months on a failed coup attempt where you attack “RINOs” for doing their job and following the law isn’t a winning strategy.
