One theory is that it is listed as giving a lot of donations to the democrats and it was a dog-whistle from Juliani that he knows they are money laundering.

I bet that theory is popular with the MAGA crowd. It’s certainly easier than admitting the Trump campaign was in panic and disarray, or trying to convince anyone they genuinely didn’t think it would be a better idea to hold the press conference in a five star hotel. Nothing makes your campaign look more presidential and in control than rocking up in a suburban trading estate next to a sex shop and having to pause your comments every time a 747 flies overhead. I bet the democrat money launderers are quaking in their kinky boots.

They're all paying 4D Chess. That's why they haven't submitted much evidence to the courts, they're waiting to drop it at the last moment to own the media.

Why do you think Giuliani is acting like an unhinged lunatic? Do you think when he takes a break from laying out the detailed legal case he is building to sell cigars that he is doing it for the money!? Of course not. This is his Columbo routine! He is waiting until we all let our guard down and then BAM! That's when he comes out with the video of Biden and Harris running into a polling station with stuffed ballot boxes.

Arizona’s GOP attorney general rejects Trump’s unfounded voter fraud claims: ‘There is no evidence’

As President Trump’s campaign plows on with lawsuits featuring unfounded claims of voter fraud in lost battleground states, Arizona’s Republican attorney general on Wednesday rejected the president’s conspiracy claims and said Trump is unlikely to overtake President-elect Joe Biden in the state.
“It does appear that Joe Biden will win Arizona,” state Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a Wednesday interview with Fox Business host Neil Cavuto. “There is no evidence, there are no facts that would lead anyone to believe that the election results will change.”

Over half of all counties in Arizona have conducted post-election audits and found either no discrepancies or microscopic issues that don’t affect the outcome, according to reports filed with the secretary of state’s office.

Audits in Arizona’s four largest counties, which comprised 86% of all votes for president in the state, turned up no evidence of systematic voter fraud.

Well, it could be good if they could present some of this evidence in court, their lawyers must be getting a bit annoyed.

Meanwhile the official tallying of results in Wisconsin has had a minor vote shift: https://www.tmj4.com/news/election-2...58h4HsDqstiP4Q

Quote:
More than two-thirds of the counties in Wisconsin have submitted official election results after completing their canvasses.

The largest counties in the state including Milwaukee, Dane and Waukesha are still in the audit process, but more than 50 other counties have finished their canvasses. Altogether, the reporting counties show a small gain in votes for Joe Biden and a loss of about a few hundred votes for President Trump.

Democracy is ‘under siege’ as Biden is ‘unseemly rushed’ to claim victory: Alan Jones

Democracy as it was once known is “under siege” as anyone who dares suggest Joe Biden may not have fairly won the US election runs the risk of significant punitive sanctions, according to Sky News host Alan Jones.

“We call America the leader of the free world, but if liberty means anything it means the right to tell people what they may not want to hear,” Mr Jones said.

“Yet now, anyone who dares suggest that Biden may not have won this election fairly runs the risk of significant punitive sanctions.”

Mr Jones pointed to a Philadelphia press conference in which Rudolph Giuliani said, “Trump’s not going to concede when at least 600,000 ballots are in question”.

A man in Luzern County is facing felonies after he tried to apply for a mail-in ballot in his dead mother’s name, according to report.

Robert Richard Lynn, 67, of Forty Fort, was charged with forgery and interference with a primary or election on Thursday, according to online court dockets.

According to the Times Leader, investigators accused Lynn of using a typewriter to complete an absentee ballot application and signing his mother’s name, who died in 2015.

Lynn is registered as a Republican in Pennsylvania, the Times Leader reported.

In the criminal complaint cited by the Times Leader, the absentee ballot application listed the reason for needing the mail-in option as travel because the woman was going to be visiting her grandchildren through the election.

The application had been flagged, and Lynn’s mother’s voter registration information from before her death led investigators to Lynn’s house, the Times Leader reported.

Lynn eventually admitted to investigators that he filled out and signed the application, the Times Leader reported.

You have to (well you don’t if you don’t want to) caveat the phrase Climate change with man made climate change.

And even then you have to look at where we should concentrate efforts.

I agree my 5.0 V8 Mustang is not very environmentally friendly, but I pay a shitload of tax for my sins, how much tax do the people burning down the Amazon pay? Probably none, and why should they? Cos they’re skint.

But taxing me into oblivion will not stop them burning the Amazon, and they’re doing much more damage than me.

Anything we can do to reduce our impact on climate change must be done, no question.

But climate change has become an ideology more than a science....in regards to popular culture, as opposed to actual scientists.

“Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming” is the latest phrase I think.

Unfortunately the issue was long ago co-opted by all the usual crusties, hippies and luddites who dislike technology and progress on principle. For them it’s validation of a viewpoint they’d have held regardless. 40 years ago they were all on the “oil’s running out and it’ll be gone in 40 years” bandwagon (which it obviously isn’t - all we’ve done so far is extract the easy stuff. There’s plenty more to be found and more than enough to meet our needs especially as we’re now starting to make serious efforts to stop burning it). These people as a rule are way out on the loony left, making it harder even for many of those on the moderate right to find common cause with them. I suspect CAGW would be a lot less controversial if the baggy pullovers from Greenpeace didn’t carry on like they own it.

JOINT STATEMENT FROM ELECTIONS INFRASTRUCTURE GOVERNMENT COORDINATING COUNCIL & THE ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR COORDINATING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES

WASHINGTON – The members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee – Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky, U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chair Benjamin Hovland, National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) President Lori Augino, and Escambia County (Florida) Supervisor of Elections David Stafford – and the members of the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) – Chair Brian Hancock (Unisyn Voting Solutions), Vice Chair Sam Derheimer (Hart InterCivic), Chris Wlaschin (Election Systems & Software), Ericka Haas (Electronic Registration Information Center), and Maria Bianchi (Democracy Works) - released the following statement:

“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result.

“When states have close elections, many will recount ballots. All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary. This is an added benefit for security and resilience. This process allows for the identification and correction of any mistakes or errors. There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.

“Other security measures like pre-election testing, state certification of voting equipment, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s (EAC) certification of voting equipment help to build additional confidence in the voting systems used in 2020.

“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”
The person charge of CISA (Chris Krebs) was appointed by Trump.

Good win. Could also be called disenfranchisement.

Quote:
State law requires all voters who applied to vote by mail to have their identification validated against state records by Nov. 9. However, just before the election, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar pushed that date back by three days, citing a court decision earlier this year that allowed late-arriving mail ballots to be counted as long as they had been mailed by Nov. 3 and received within three days of that date.

In what’s expected to be the final ruling on the matter, the Texas Supreme Court has upheld Gov. Greg Abbott’s order limiting Texas counties to only one drop-off location for voters to hand deliver their absentee ballots during the pandemic.

The ruling, issued Tuesday by the all-Republican court, is the final outcome in one of a handful of lawsuits in state and federal courts that challenged Abbott’s order from early this month.
This meant Harris County (population 4.7 million) and Travis County (population 1.3 million) had 1 drop off point each, just like Loving County (population !84) and King County (population 253).

Guess which way Harris and Travis normally vote?

Quote:
The Trump campaign dropped its so-called “Sharpiegate” lawsuit in Arizona on Friday, which had claimed that some ballots cast for Mr. Trump were invalidated after voters used Sharpie pens, admitting that not enough presidential votes were at stake in the case to affect the outcome of the race.

In what is known as a notice of mootness, Kory Langhofer, a lawyer for the campaign, acknowledged that “a tabulation of the votes statewide has rendered unnecessary a judicial ruling as to the presidential electors.”

The Arizona attorney general had already conducted an inquiry into the matter and found that the use of Sharpies in Maricopa County “did not result in disenfranchisement.” The suit stemmed from a viral rumor that falsely claimed Arizona’s voting machines were incapable of tabulating ballots that were filled out with Sharpies.

President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. was declared the winner of Arizona’s 11 electoral votes Thursday night, after he finished more than 11,000 votes ahead of President Trump.

At a hearing on Thursday, a Maricopa County elections official testified that only 191 presidential votes in the county might have been affected by Mr. Langhofer’s suit. The case will continue, however, for two minor down-ballot races.

The networks have projected North Carolina for President Trump and Georgia for Biden.

Making the final total Biden: 307 Trump: 232

Also Trump has closed down his voter fraud hotline after it was beset by prank calls.

All those are irrelevant - it's her socialism policies that will be a disaster for America, besides, her own district in California, she has locked up more black people, so well done BLM for implementing a person who will do the opposite to help your cause, if she gets in.

The laws strengthening criminal penalties drove a surge in the state’s prison population over 30 years, beginning in the 1970s. Under both Republicans and Democrats — including Kamala Harris, who became a prosecutor in 1990 — a tough-on-crime political culture flourished in California, and African Americans were hit hardest: Their incarceration rate remains more than five times their share of California’s population.

Michigan state court rejects request to block Detroit election certification results

(Reuters) - A Michigan state court rejected on Friday a request by supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump to block the certification of votes and appoint an independent auditor in Detroit, which went heavily in favor of President-elect Joe Biden, Trump’s Democratic challenger.

The ruling is a setback for Trump and Republicans who have been trying to overturn Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 election by preventing officials from certifying election results.

“It would be an unprecedented exercise of judicial activism for this Court to stop the certification process of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers,” wrote Timothy Kenny, chief judge of the Third Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan, referring to the county that includes Detroit.

The lawsuit alleged fraud and voting irregularities, which Wayne County has denied.

The judge rejected those allegations, writing: “Plaintiffs’ interpretation of events is incorrect and not credible.”

He noted that allegations, such as city workers encouraging voters to cast their ballot for Democrats, were not backed up by details, such as locations or times when such events took place.

There's nobody at the top of American politics proposing genuinely socialist policies as we'd understand them in Europe. It's just a bogeyman from the political right to shout about the centre-left.

Even if there were the numbers aren't there in the Senate to permit it.

Shared on Facebook and Instagram days leading up to the 2020 U.S. general election, posts show a clip of Joe Biden saying, “We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” The posts falsely ask if the video shows the Democratic presidential candidate “admit(ting) to voter fraud.” It was a slip of the tongue - Biden was describing the voter protection program his campaign has launched in anticipation of potential legal fights over the outcome of the Nov. 3 election against President Donald Trump.

VERDICT
Missing context. This clip of Biden allegedly “admitting” to voter fraud has been shared out of context. As seen in the full interview, the former vice president was discussing his campaign’s voter protection program.

This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.

No recount in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's secretary of state has said she will not order a recount in the state, as Joe Biden's margin of victory was sufficiently big not to warrant one.

States often have rules which mean an automatic recount if a candidate's win is within a certain small range - by less than 0.5%, for instance. Georgia is currently holding a recount for this reason.

But Pennsylvania will not do the same. Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar decided not to order a recount, an update today said, "as no statewide candidate was defeated by one-half of one percent or less of the votes cast".

The BBC's results data says Joe Biden is ahead by about 60,000 votes, with 99% of votes counted.

Information on US election being censored by ‘powerful interests’ in the media

Powerful interests are censoring the reporting of aspects of the US presidential election and are preventing a worldwide audience from hearing important information relating to voting in America says Sky News host Alan Jones


“When critics assert that Biden's comeback was driven by the late counting of hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes, some in ‘clusters,’ all for Biden and not a single vote for Trump, and mostly in key swing states, the Biden apologists everywhere say, ‘where is the evidence’

“It is extraordinary to believe that for a bloke who showed, during the campaign, that sometimes he didn't know where he was or against whom he was competing, he has gained 75 million votes.

“When everywhere else in the Senate, in the House of Representatives and in the Governorships of the 50 States, Trump and his team prevailed.

“Aren't American voters entitled to an explanation?”

Is it Fox News (owned by Murdoch, who own Sky News Australia) who are censoring the information?

btw, it wasn’t "late counting’ - some States tried to pas legislation to count the Mail-in votes before polling day (as some others already do), but the Republicans in those States didn’t allow it.

Also, there are no cases where there were no votes for Trump - this is a lie.

Sounds like you are suppressing the true story...
