I see, so GameDaddy actually IS a delusional retard. Neat.

Me? You are the one that seems to be trying to get a man elected President that owes the Germans, and the Russians money, as in four hundred million dollars. His failed real estate empire should imminently collapse, and suck down anything close to him. It's best the rest of us Americans aren't close to him when that happens.

Not that Biden is any better, being in bed with the Red Chinese and all...

Our political system is failing us Americans, and you are ok with that?

2) The sworn affidavit of an election monitor in Michigan, posted by jeff37923, posted in Reply #691, claiming major problems in the process. However, jeff37923 says that Larry Correia's Facebook feed but was since taken down. (And thank you, jeff37923, for saying that it should therefore be taken with a grain of salt.)

What is this supposed to mean? Are you stating that because Facebook -- a leftist corporate entity that's been caught REPEATEDLY jerking conservatives around -- removed or otherwise muzzled Correia, that Correia is somehow untrustworthy?

Wow, dude. That is a serious shit-the-bed bit of idiocy there.

Absolutely not. This isn't about Larry Correia or Facebook. It's that there should be some sort of link or confirmation to establish the authenticity of the supposed sworn affidavit. If it is true, there should be some sort of confirmation beyond "I saw one person post this on Facebook." Previously, jeff37923 was asked for a source for what he posted, and he himself said that he couldn't find a link - and he himself said to take it with a grain of salt.

If you can find any sort of confirmation that the affidavit is real, then I would be interested and take it seriously.

That's why the elections are being investigated. Detectives don't throw up their hands on the first day of a case and go 'Well! We have no hard evidence! Time to go home!'

Though Biden and his supporters would love for everyone to blindly accept the election "results" before they're certified.

I agree that the results should be checked and confirmed, and I support investigations into possible fraud based on the amount of evidence. However, detectives also don't go "Aha! He's guilty!" and take away someone's rights when there isn't hard evidence.

Until hard evidence is brought forward, then I think we should proceed with the legal process of election.

And we are. I'll give Biden the same benefit of the doubt that Democrats gave Trump for four years of accusations of Russian collusion.

You're gonna have to type a lot louder, your delusions aren't making quite as much noise here as this isn't a leftist echo chamber.

Heh. That's fine by me, Ratman_tf - and to be expected. Thanks for some light-heartedness.

Sorry but I don't know how the US ballots work. Are the Senate ballots separate?

You get used to it from jhkim after a while.

Why do elections need to be investigated now? Both Republicans and Democrats sit on election committees that oversee the process at the local polls, and at the State level, where the local votes are tallied. There are overseers over the entire process of all political denominations. No one did any investigating in 2016, so why now?


Becuase the Drumpf lost. They weren't excited to investigate when he won, why not then in 2016??? He didn't lose by a narrow margin either. there are five million more votes for Biden for President than the Drumpf received. Even if some minor errors were discovered, it wouldn't be Five million votes worth. Him and his communist buddies Putin and Xi, and Poland and Hungary, and Turkey need to get the hell out of our politics.

The Drumpf really needs to run off and figure out where he can scrounge up the 400 million he is going to need to pay off Duestche bank (Run by Communists, by the way...), Angela Merkel is former STASI. I have a junior staff photo of her in a commie uniform, and that photo is of her STASI membership card.  Becuase he is totally in hock to them, and they are going to foreclose, which would be most excellent by the way. Seeing Trumps named removed from the towers in our large cities would be a vast improvement of the cities in question.

'effin hypocrites

Considering that a few of the complaints are that Republican overseers were not allowed in the room while Democrats counted ballots should give you enough cause to shut up and wait for investigations to proceed, that is if you weren't a hyper-partisan hypocrite.

No. The ballot starts with the presidential candidates at the top and everything else descending down the page(s) from there (depending on where you are--if your state doesn't have a senator up for re-election, then they won't be on there).

[Garry G]

Why didn't they fix the Senate as well then? I'd have totally fixed the Senate cos I hear the Senate can do stuff. Won't the Senate just block everything and stop the Marxist apocalypse? Fucking amateurs.

[Snowman0147]

Mostly because they are establishment fuckers who have more reason to support the democrats than help out Trump.

[GameDaddy]

State, County and local elections are on the backside of the ballot. At the local level they are immediately counted when they are entered using an electronic process that is supervised by an election committee composed of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents that oversees the county process at the local polling station. The votes are electronically tallied immediately, then forwarded to the State counting center.

The mail in Ballots go directly to the State counting center where they are tallied in a similar matter with oversight from a bipartisan election committee. The mail-in results are then forwarded back to local election officials. The local officials deliver the ballot boxes with the actual ballots so they can be recounted at the state election committee facility. It's really difficult to interfere with the tally process without the election committees knowing.

The Republicans are whining about the mail-in ballots. I have three comments about this...

1) Maybe they shouldn't have screwed with the post office earlier this year.... and...

2) Mail-in voters not trusting the local process typically vote 3-1 in favor of democrats, so the more mailin votes that are actually counted, the worse the rersults will be for republicans, any recounts will not benefit them.

3) The Drumpf told his followers not to mail-in their votes, but to vote in person, further reducing the number of Republican votes that will be tallied by any late mail-in results.

Basically, they created their own problem with this, that has nothing to do with democrats and everything to do with their dysfucntional way of dealing with anything (the post office, cough, cough) that isn't part of the Republican party. Any recounts won't benefit them.

[Spinachcat]

All this "unity" and "healing" babble is beyond hysterically delusional.

No matter what happens, DIVISION is the future.

And not polite division either.

I guess for some reason you assume republican senators would not go along with Biden.  Biden is not communist, though he does have a rather loud contingent of social marxists in his party, and one waiting for him to stroke out and she become president.  Biden is going to do EXACTLY what a republican senate wants him to  do.  Sign some shit trade deals (shit for americans, great for multinational corps), get us into a war with...I would bet syria,  and generally do business as usual, as per neocon and neoliberal (aka warmongering and growing the government) policies as directed by corporate paymasters.

The problem that I have with many RPG posters is that, although they are absolutely top notch experts on Medieval history, they suck donkey balls with modern finance.

For example, you do not "pay off" investment real estate and you do not "foreclose" just because you want to.
