Politics And Current Events

I enjoyed the ACO coat drama last night. Some top notch humor.

[Trip McNeely]

Judge sided with CNN and Jim Acosta.....

Trump meltdown in 15 mins?

[Viva la Ben]

The Trump admin has been ordered to restore Jim Acosta’s press pass.

[shafnutz05]

Gillum is looking more and more pathetic in this Florida recount. Just concede already.

[MR25]

More pathetic than the President claiming voter fraud because he doesn't understand the concept of provisional or absentee ballot counting?

That's what I anticipated. I presume if the administration actually wants him out they'll run him through the process the next time he grandstands.

Completely separate from trump not understanding.

At what point do you start wondering if something shady is happening in Florida?

Pat Buchanan in 2000 for me.

When something shady actually happens.

[Troy Loney]

And from what I understand, the idiots in Broward county ignored advice of election experts in the design of the ballot which has likely resulted in a large under-vote in the senate race.

So you think nothing shady has already happened?

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Broward county should just be nuked at this point.

[Troy Loney]

So you think nothing shady has already happened?

Like what? Loose application of the signature rule on provisional ballots? That seems like a stupid rule anyway and I don't think folks should be comparing signatures, and if this is a necessity, I think the grounds for invalidating the ballot should be black and white, like the name has to be completely different.

Reporting several total ballots cast, missing deadlines, accidentally putting disapproved ballots in with other wanting to be approved, accidentally “coupling” ballots which causes higher count than actual, been accused of fraudulently destroying ballots in previous elections, and etc.

All of those seem like process errors as opposed to any sort of partisan tampering.

I’m glad you can only see through your democrat goggles.

Investigate them and find out. They have been found to be conducting fraud before.

Voter fraud isn't some magical thing that happens to explain away all potential discrepancies when reconciling the vote count.

Lol. Thank you for posting an opinion piece.

[Troy Loney]

I don't even know how to respond to that. You are effectively morphing into EPP.

[dodint]

It is fun watching a Democrat explain away voting discrepancies as simple errors and not possibly systematic fraud when anything a Republican does that has to do with voting mechanics is by default disenfranchisement.

It's expected and obvious but a thing to marvel at when you see it in real time. I don't know or care if TL is right, I think both sides suck, just amused.

[grunthy]

Why don’t you want an investigation? You wanted an investigation against kavanaugh when there wasn’t anything to investigate but hearsay.

You mean like a recount? Of course, and throw an audit in there too.

Are voting discrepancies (intentional or not) inherently worse than the active attempt at preventing certain populations from exercising their right to vote?

A federal investigation.

One is proactive and the other is reactive. I see them as two sides of the same coin.
