That's because rigged elections only come from the Riggeaud Region in France.
Otherwise, it's just sparkling election fortification.
Just The News: Ex-top spy admits Hunter Biden laptop letter designed to influence 2020 election, Blinken involved
So yes, they knew the Hunter Biden laptop was not "Russian Disinformation" from the get-go, and the Democrats and 50 intelligence officials lied to the American public about it to help Joe Biden win the election.
Poltifact does a bit of rehabilitation of Jocelyn Benson's prior acts, and then really decides to be less than forthcoming about the effect of Zuckerberg's et al.'s outside funding of elections.
Politico: Before election, Michigan Republicans blast Secretary of State Benson for her oversight of last one
Interestingly Politifact tends to gloss over the Michigan Court of Claims nailing her for illegally deciding that clerks did not need to verify signatures on absentee ballots, and omits quite a few other things she did in the 2020 election that were rather questionable.
Then they get to quite an interesitng observation about outside funding, mainly from Mark Zuckerberg et al, that when actually looked at paints a rather different picture than what they claim was an even-handed funding to both Republican and Democrat locales as they state they both received grants:
Democratic- and Republican-leaning communities received election grants
Over the past two years, Republicans have railed against private grants distributed to elections offices in 2020 from the Center for Tech and Civic Life, which received millions of dollars from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. Republicans have dubbed the donations "Zuckerbucks" and allege the funds were funneled to Democratic-leaning communities to boost turnout in those places.
. . .
More than 450 Michigan municipalities received grants from the Center for Tech and Civic Life, according to tax filings. That included a large $7.4 million grant for Detroit — the state's largest voting jurisdiction — which went for President Joe Biden. It also included donations to smaller communities Trump won, such as Macomb County's Chesterfield Township, which received a $16,545 grant, and Ottawa County's Allendale Township, which secured a $15,398 grant.
Looks totally fair right? Democrat stronghold gets $7.4 million, and Republican township in a Democrat County got $16,545.00. Sounds totes the same, doesn't it?
So let's dig into this a little deeper.
Detroit, with 246,562 voters in the last presidential election that went 233,908 for Biden (95%) received $30 per voter in that election from Zuck et all to get out the vote, and essentially $28.50 for each Democrat vote.
Meanwhile Chesterfield Township, which went 63% Republican and had 25,822 voters of which 16,421 voted Republican, and 9,401 voted Democrat received 64 cents per voter, or all of 40 cents per Republican vote.
This seems totes the same thing, right?
Sure, some Republican-majority communities got some funding, to make it appear at first glance the funding was non-partisan. But it appears to be less than a pittance compared to the millions poured into Democrat strongholds to help drive the vote in 2020 - for example, New York City received the largest grant of $19 Million).
In short, Zuckerbucks sure as heck helped the Democrats in 2020, no matter how Poiltifact wants to gloss over or paint those facts.
Completely unexpectedly, Wayne County has more out of balance poll books than all other counties in the State of Michigan combined.
The Detroit News: Wayne Co. had more out-of-balance precincts than other 82 counties combined
Sadly behind a paywall, the highlights the rather serious defects in Wayne County's election process that, yes, can leave open opportunities for fraud.
In other words a pool book mismatch means the number of voters issued a ballot and then number of ballots cast do not match.
But not to worry, we're told these are just, per the AP, "minor discrepancies". More errors than all the other parts of the state combined is happily waved away and considered minor.
Meanwhile, our Democrat Secretary of State is refusing to appear before the state House Oversight Committee to answer questions regarding the election.
The Detroit News: Secretary of State Benson says she won't appear before House Oversight Committee
Obviously her refusal to appear does not mean she has anything to hide, at all.
While I'd like to see further confirmation of this claim, waiting on the MSM to do it would be a fool's errand. If true, it's statistical proof of tomfoolery in Wayne County's ballot counting that pushed Biden over the top in this state.
American Thinker: What a computer expert said about voting results in Michigan
Here's Ramsland's explanation: "The several spikes cast solely for Biden could easily be produced in the Dominion system by preloading batches of blank ballots in files such as Write-Ins, then casting them all for Biden using the Override Procedure ... that is available to the operator of the system."
"There were 289,866 more ballots processed in the time available for processing in four precincts/townships, than there was capacity," said Ramsland.
In plain English, that means they counted almost 300,000 more ballots than physically possible.
"This is not surprising because the system is highly vulnerable to a manual change in the ballot totals as observed[,]" said Ramsland. "[W]e believe that these statistical anomalies and impossibilities together create a wholly unacceptable level of doubt as to the validity of the vote count in Michigan, and in Wayne County, in particular."
In short, based on this expert's calculations, it would have been impossible to process that many ballots in those precincts without cheating and manually over-ridding and entering results as the counting machines simply could not process that many ballots in the time allotted. In short - there were statistically too many ballots to process in the time it was stated it took to process them - by a lot.
Or, in the most charitable light, this potentially means that Wayne County government workers were able to work faster, harder, and more efficiently than Wayne County government workers have ever worked in both living and recorded history.
That charitable explanation is most unlikely.
Given the likelihood that Trump will be unable to sufficiently prove fraud, no matter how impressively suspicious the results have been, control of the federal government and the chance for divided government now hinges on the results of two upcoming senate races in Georgia.
If you want Republicans to hold the Senate, want divided government, and want some kind of check on the progressive push to change America in Venezuela's image, I'd suggest giving to the two Georgia Republican senate candidate's campaigns for the upcoming run-off election in Georgia:
I'd suggest donating at a minimum between the two of them at least as much as the cost of a case of ammo online that you like these days.
After all, if you want to continue to be able to buy ammo online, not to mention keep the gun you shoot it in (or at least not pay a $200 tax on each "assault" firearm and on every magazine), you'd better work for a Republican-majority Senate, but that's up to you.
Even with the news that Biden is announced as winning the election -- pending the court challenges for the questionable activities and statistically suspect results in PA, MI, WI and AZ -- We can at least take some small comfort:
The left with this result won't be running amok smashing windows and burning down our cities.
So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
The "mistakes" in this state just somehow always swing in favor of the Democrats.
First we had the mistake where Shiawassee County suddenly reported 138,000 votes all for Biden, allegedly due to a county clerk adding a 0 to the total - this was quickly caught as Shiawasee county doesn't even have that many registered voters, but it was a solid try.
Yet another "mistake" was found after a local clerk sent absentee ballot results twice for counting.
WXYZ: Error in election results reveal losing candidate actually won in Rochester Hills Instead of losing by 104 votes, the Republican candidate for County Commisisoner actually won by 1,127.
Now, did this net 1231 vote shift get counted and applied and corrected all the way up the ballot? Were John James (where the race is tight enough that this could matter) and Trumps totals revised accordingly? Its unlikely that people who voted for a republican for county commissioner did not vote for Trump or James at the top of the ticket.
Throw in the "issues with Antrim county and the ongoing fun and games in Detroit and you have to wonder how many more "mistakes" are out there yet to be corrected. You also need to wonder how it is that, defying the law of probability, do these mistakes always manage to favor the Democrats in this state?
I fear Trump will not make it over the margin of fraud in this election. And lots of fraud there is.
Let's take Antrim County, Michigan for instance:
The Detroit Free Press: Antrim County election results investigated after red Michigan county turns blue
Officials are investigating wonky election results in Antrim County in northern Michigan that could add a few thousand votes to the tallies for President Donald Trump and Republican Senate candidate John James.
Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy, a Republican who ran unopposed and won a third four-year term Tuesday in the strongly GOP county, said results on electronic tapes and a computer card were accurate but it appeared that some of the results were somehow scrambled after the cards were transported in sealed bags from township precincts to county offices and downloaded onto a computer.
Why these "mistakes" seem rather one-sided and manage to scramble in favor of the Dems is always interesting. Since multiple Michigan counties are using this same software, they likely all need to be checked over for a similar happy coincidental scrambling error that just manages to erase Republican votes.
On top of that, the dead are apparently voting in Michigan: The Daily Telegraph: Dead Devoted to Democracy
Apparently, in one example given, and I'd like to see further verification, William Bradley of Wayne County (home of Detroit and an amazing 36,000 more registered than eligible voters) applied for an absentee ballot on 9/11/2020 and it was received on 10/2/2020. One minor problem with that vote is that the 118 year-old William Bradley died on June 1, 1984, so his voting from beyond the grave is rather a neat trick.
Add the shenanigans game is well and truly afoot where they are counting the absentee ballots in Detroit :
Republican counters shouted that they were unfairly being kept out, but Democratic challengers countered that it was not true because they were also being kept outside.
Yep, read that one over again, with feeling, especially when you realize the counters inside are Democrats.
Add to that the report int he Detroit news that "early Wednesday morning before 4 a.m., a new batch of 38,000 ballots were brought in for counting from an unknown location." and the Detroit fix appears well and truly in.
There also appears to be a lot of shenanigans over in Wisconsin: Powerline: Massive Voter Fraud In Wisconsin?
This election points out yet again the absolute insecurity of our election system. That needs to change if anyone is going to believe in and abide by the result and truly believe it is both a free and a fair election.
Voted this morning.
No waiting except for the two people in front of me who went to the wrong precinct because they couldn't read a map, they should have gone to Precinct 15 and instead they came to mine which is visibly marked Not Precinct 15, and decided to argue with the polling staff at length about it.
Did I mention at length?
Including having their IDs scanned repeatedly and being repeatedly told that they needed to go to precinct 15? Repeatedly. Even given directions to it just down the street, can't miss it? Apparently there's a bit of a line over at Precinct 15 (which they knew about which is curious) and these two wanted to either vote faster, or they were going to try to vote in multiple spots.
The Poll staff did not give in and let them vote anyways, but directed them to 15.
Repeatedly.
Quick tip: If you're a registered voter in Michigan and even now don't know where to vote either check your voter registration card or even better go to:
enter your info, and then go to the polling place it indicates. Easy-Peasy.
That they didn't do this before they decided to show up does make me wonder about their overall civic intelligence, or what they were actually trying to do, but whatever.
Well, once they were taken care of I was able to get my ballot and go vote and get it done.
One weird part is instead of the ballot placing parties randomly on it, the Democrat candidates were always listed first in each category, then Republicans then other parties. Not too typical, and I'm sure our Democrat Secretary of State had nothing to do with that change, which can also be seen on the sample ballot online.
It's a big ballot this year with lots of important races, so hopefully you've done your research and you choose wisely.
It's Wolf Blitzer folks, with a complete lack of understanding of causation and self-reflection:
Ya know Wolf, had you and yours not refused to accept the legitimacy of the 2016 election and been constantly characterizing the riots of the left as "mostly peaceful protests", we could be understanding of your sadness.
Instead, you and yours have been busy excusing the leftist violent outbreaks going on in the blue cities around this nation and failing to condemn threats of further violence, and constantly reporting in ways to further genenrate such rage and outbreaks of violence.
Had you maybe accepted the election result in 2016 and actually been accurate in reporting on the events of Crossfire Hurricane, BLM and the riots to date, and of police being ordered to stand down and not arrest rioters, then maybe this boarding up of buildings in anticipation of further leftist violence would not be necessary.
We'll see if you've learned anything or if you will fan the flames even higher during the 2020 Election.
We'll also note the buildings aren't being boarded up out of fear and anticipation of Trump supporters running amok, looting and breaking windows.
Heard from a Democrat friend of mine that the local Dems are planning to have a large turnout on November 4th on Woodward at 9 Mile in Ferndale (a hip and fashionable suburb north of Detroit, a rather Democrat-dominated area).
If Biden wins, it will apparently be billed as a victory celebration.
If Trump wins, they state it will be a "peaceful protest".
Either way, if you're a business on Woodward and 9 Mile, I'd suggest investing in some plywood, or other window coverings, and some fire extinguishers, stat.
It would also be a good idea to avoid the area.
That was quite an expedited denial of an appeal.
The Detroit Free Press: Michigan Court of Appeals denies Benson appeal, says open carry at polls is legal
It's pretty clear her edict banning carry at the polls was improper and in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and Michigan Law.
Not content to lose badly twice, AG Nasty Nessel and Secretary Benson are vowing to appeal this to the Michigan Supreme Court.
In short, who you vote for as a judge matters, as the panel here were all Republican justices, and yes, these days that matters.
You can read the decision here: OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING IN PART PLAINTIFFS’ EMERGENCY MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Good job Michigan Open Carry - who led the charge on this, and MCO and MCRGO.
The Court concluded the Secretary of State's directive was in fact a rule and its promulgation violated the rule making procedure of the Administrative Procedure Act and issued the injunction banning its enforcement in regards to open carry at the polls.
Dana Nessel, our Democrat Attorney General, has indicated she will appeal the decision, so the matter isn't over yet, but it's a very promising start, and a very well-written opinion.
WILX10: Some voters are still waiting for absentee ballots
Interesting goings-on with voters who have applied for absentee ballots who happen to live in Eaton Rapids, MI - the goings-on being they'r=ve not received their ballots yet.
Apparently these applications were somehow not processed by the Secretary of State:
However, some voters in Eaton Rapids Township are still waiting on their ballot.
Eaton Rapids Township Clerk Robin Morgan told News 10 she’s not getting absentee ballot applications from the state’s website.
. . .
The Michigan Secretary of State’s office said this was an isolated incident and it was fixed Wednesday and ballots are now being issued.
Funny how that isolated incident preventing voters from getting their absentee ballots, just happened to effect a solidly Republican area of Michigan. This has nothing to do with our Secretary of State happens to be a dyed-in-the wool Democrat and ourt Governor promising to deliver the state for Biden.
Clearly just a coincidence, neh?
Since Trump won Michigan by only 10,704 votes in 2016, and there's over 36,000 registered but non-existed voters in Detroit alone, it won't take much Democrat chicanery to narrow that margin.
Making isolated incidents that just happen to make it harder for predictably Republican areas to cast their ballots is an interesting move in that direction.
Remember how a lot of Republicans were accusing Democrat Governors of working to deliberately harm their state economies to cause resentment against Trump?
It seems those accusations were justified, as the Biden campaign is blaming President Trump by using Democrat governors shut downs and resultant damages to the economy on the President.
For the record, we will note it was not President Trump that ordered Michigan's harsh and excessive lockdowns, which were and still are some of the most extensive and overbroad in the entire United States (and found to be against the Michigan constitution to boot).
The Detroit News: Struggling Ann Arbor club owner in Biden ad: 'This is Donald Trump's economy'
Of course its featuring a lefty in Ann Arbor who doesn't care about cause and effect:
"Everywhere I go, people have a story about the Blind Pig," says Joe Malcoun, co-owner of the Blind Pig, in the new ad. "The Blind Pig has been one of those clubs that attract artists from all genres. For 50 years, the Blind Pig has been open and crowded, but right now, it's an empty room.
"This is the reality of Trump's COVID response. We don't know how much longer we can survive not having any revenue. A lot of restaurants and bars that have been mainstays for years will not make it through this. This is Donald Trump's economy."
No Mr. Malcoun, it's Governor Half-Whit's orders that closed you down and even now limit your patrons to what may not be a survivable much less a subsistence level.
But she's doing it to "save Lives" with the "best science and data" [that she still refuses to share] and harm President Trump, so you likely can take comfort in that as she destroys your livelihood.
Even the article notes that
Trump has repeatedly called on governors to lift economic restrictions aimed at combating COVID-19 as the virus has continued to spread
Yep, it's not Trump's economy here in Michigan right now, the dishonor and blame sit squarely at the feet of our Democrat governor.
A very nice gas lighting attempt by the Biden campaign.
Who are you going to believe? Those blaming Trump or your very own eyes reading the over 150 executive orders issued by Gov Half-Whit shutting down this state and killing your life's work?
Gov Half Whit, you have accomplished your mission for Biden.
Maybe its time you asked Hunter for a cut?
Detroit has more registered voters than actual eligible voters on their voting rolls, by a lot.
How much is a lot? By 36,570 more than actual voters.
Crains Detroit Business: Detroit has more registered voters than residents over 18, Census finds
There's at least 2,503 dead people on the rolls with one having been born in 1823 and yet still on the voter registration list.
Considering Trump won all Michigan by only 10,704 votes, the potential for games to be played with a pool of 36,570 fake voters by the always impressively slow and inefficient Democrat-controlled Detroit Clerks office is rather high. When they have a pool of 36,570 registered but non-existent voters to play with, the potential for games is rather large. Add to that the potential for voter fraud by mail where these 36,570 non-existent but registered voters don't need to show up and vote in person, and it can get right sporty.
Following a similar pattern we've seen liberal politicians use before, Gov Whitmer had first claimed there wouldn't be any comment on the issue -
"We’re not going to make it a practice of addressing every rumor that is spread online," Whitmer spokeswoman Tiffany Brown said Monday
Then her staff flat-out denied that it had occurred.
Now of course, with proof coming out that it did indeed happen, she's shifted to claim it was a joke.
Deadline Detroit: Update: Gov. Whitmer Says Husband Was Joking About Special Break for Boat
So now she's trying to memory hole the whole deal - her going up north after telling the citizens not to, trying to put her boat in the water ahead of others after she had previously been ticketing citizens for using motorized boats and all the rest.
Expect an army of "spontaneous" reviewers to just happen to leave bad reviews at the Marina's social media sites - this just happens to happen whenever someone criticizes this Governor.
The Detroit Free Press: Whitmer says husband's boat dock request was bad joke: 'I wasn't laughing either'
If you really believe that after all the obfuscation and denials form the Gov that it was a bad joke and not a politician and family trying to throw their weight around -- Well, all I can say in that case is I've got a bridge connecting the Upper and Lower Peninsula I'm got available for sale to you for a very special price today, but only if you act now.
The Detroit Free Press: Joe Biden: I 'honest to God don't know who' VP pick will be
One would think he'd be moving along with this choice, as the pick would earn him some media attention when he's otherwise been nowhere to be found. But, so far he hasn't a clue who his advisors think will poll best as his running mate.
Tellingly, he actually declared that "no one has been vetted yet."
So after all this time and his many announcements about having a woman VP he hasn't gotten the task of vetting potential candidates going yet? Seriously?
An interesitng thing to say when news reportes are suggesting otherwise: Klobuchar reportedly being vetted to be Joe Biden’s running mate
Either he's lying on the lack of vetting, or he really is waiting for the winds to blow, and the polls and the various factions in the Democratic Party to come out with their choice of Vice President.
Democrats generally think the have a lock on the Black vote. The Dems expect and demand that they are entitled to having Blacks to get in line and vote D, and woe betide any Black person that dares leave the Democrat fold.
But they generally don't come right out and say that.
Joe Biden just let the mask slip and came right out and said it.
USA Today: Joe Biden, in testy interview, says 'you ain’t black’ if you're undecided over him vs. Trump
Charlamagne then urged Biden to visit when he came to New York and added, "It’s a long way until November. We've got more questions."That was when Biden retorted: "If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black."
It follows well the Democrats track record that anyone on their plantation can't really be that genuine person if they dare vote otherwise.
A woman is a "gender traitor" if she votes republican, Blacks are traitors if they vote Republican.
You need to earn every vote, you should not feel entitled to it, especially counting on it due to the voter's race or gender.
Fun to see Biden come out in public and say that entitlement belief out loud.
Interesting how just yesterday Bankole was trying to diss the Governor for being insufficiently caring to African-Americans.
Today, the media is suddenly abuzz yet again with the prospect of her maybe becoming Biden's VP.
The Detroit News: Through praise and criticism, national spotlight stays fixed on Whitmer
The Detroit News: Whitmer says she's had 'opening conversation' on VP potential
The Detroit Free Press: Whitmer: I had 'conversation' with Biden campaign about vice presidency
She's also been making the rounds on the talk shows which are giving her nice easy softballs and not asking about her order requiring nursing homes to take in Wuhan-FLu positive patients and the subsequent deaths in Michigan nursing homes as a result.
Yep, someone is pushing Whitmer onto the national stage big time and the VP short list, to Stacy Abrams' detriment and Bankole and the Dem faction he's a part of is not happy.
