2020 Election Thread

[REDinFL]

About a half hour ago (14:30 EST) Barr announced "No evidence of election fraud...which would have changed the outcome." According to AP.

That probably ends it. I know, SCOTUS. Probably a repeat of "Briefs aren't ballots."

I see what you did there...

He said no evidence that the Justice Dept has uncovered. Have they even been investigating? How long have we been waiting on Barr and Durham to investigate and release something but I am supposed to believe they investigated multiple states in a couple of weeks?

Bill Barr: Fraud? huh? Nothing to see here.

Georgia republican voters may begin to wonder if it's worth it to vote Jan 5 if Fulton county democrats can just invent as many ballots as they need to win.

January 5th Trump has Federal Marshals show up to ballot counting areas with one Democrat and one Republican observer who can't be thrown out. Don't announce it beforehand, just freaking DO IT. No time for appeals at that point.

You assume the ballots won't be destroyed and machines wiped first... Georgia's already started Destruction of Evidence.

They'd better show up! If they don't vote, all it does is give the Democrats the race fair and square.

I really wish they would manage the narrative that not voting isn’t the answer but rather that you have to get out and vote and win by 5% so that they can’t steal it. If trumps dumb assery cost us the Senate also, well that would be actually kind of fitting I guess.

This. Our game is, while going for the win if we can still get it, make any cheating they attempt as painful and expensive as possible--make a successful steal a Pyrrhic victory where even if they win they still lose.

I understand. Unfortunately, a mail-in ballot scheme that isn't verified on the front-end and can't be audited on the back-end isn't reliant on who actually votes or for which candidate, 5% or otherwise. The outcome is determined by those operating the scheme. That's been made glaringly clear post November 3rd.

Between the two-tiered justice system and now the 2020 mail-in vote scheme, many republican voters (in this case Georgians) may conclude that their vote simply doesn't matter. Who here is still clinging to the hopeless notion that justice will be served via the Durham investigation? That same hopeless sentiment.... Jan 5.
