Let me preface this by reiterating that I have no political leanings particularly in US politics where it becomes so polarizing that to even dare call yourself a centrist would oust you from both groups like you were an X-Men member with less purpose than Longneck.
I should also point out that this isn’t about Donald Trump winning his lawsuit; it’s about determining whether or not the most important process in any free country was compromised. This isn’t exactly like 2016 where many automatically blamed an outside power for upheaving the process (you know, 4 years’ worth of conspiracy theories). Not quite. This is about whether the system itself was corrupted by select people for a grand purpose. Should a society not want to examine the data and assess how many admissible votes were not counted as well as how many inadmissible votes were?
Some general issues that were brought up (some through sworn affidavits):
• Issues with mail in ballots either not counting or not admissible due to improper filling out or no witness address.
• Dead people have voted
• Computer glitches
• Not having poll watchers in view
Important to remember an affidavit is not like posting on Twitter. To lie on an affidavit is to commit perjury.
So let’s visit some of the states in question. I will list in point form to avoid a wordy post.
Pennsylvania –
• The state said they can accept ballots after closing which does not sit in line with the law
• They are supposed to segregate ballots after 8pm - The GOP is calling into question whether all counties receiving ballots after 8pm were doing that
• Potentially 650k – 700k compromised votes (This is only hearsay for now)
• The rate of rejected mail-in ballots was 30 times lower than in 2016 (they were sent randomly, not by request). You think there’d be stronger filters in place
• They did actually win one case against Philadelphia:

Nevada –
• Supposedly over 3000 invalid ballots – Either dead people or people who don’t live there. Judge agrees to expedite GOP suit
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law...-nevada-suit-1
• Electronic signature system told one woman here vote was fraudulent
• Possible 10,000 people voted in Nevada that aren’t residents (Newsweek article) – They changed the title to reflect the lawsuit:

Tweet regarding Nevada:
Michigan –
• Republican thought he was losing by 1000 votes and conceded only for the numbers to flip because of computer glitch reset

• Dominion software issues (supposedly used in 47 States)

The glitch explained:

• Dead Voters
• Supposedly backdating ballots
Wisconsin –
• Mail in ballots must be signed and witness must put in own address. Did not happen in Wisconsin. Number Unknown
Here is something interesting that revolves around a technicality

Georgia –

Misc
Bad journalism here. This was later proven to be a typo in the count number (they added an extra zero by mistake) but the idiot felt WELL IT'S BIDEN SO THERE!!!
• Automatic recounts will take place per law
In case anyone wanted to know where votes go after the voter casts their vote, here's the rough order:
Tabulator > County Clerk > Another agency within the State > Media
Lot of telephone going on here. Bad communication can lead to the media to project incorrect numbers
• Canvasing days for the following States: Georgia Nov 20, Pennsylvania Nov 23, Michigan Nov 24, North Carolina Nov 26, Arizona Nov 30, Wisconsin & Nevada Dec 1
Final Thoughts –
So this is what I looked into. The more I researched, the more the sensationalism (or lack thereof) was felt. Even with fraud found, I don’t believe it will make a dent in the numbers. That said, I don’t disagree with the GOP pursuing this if there are laws setup for this particular purpose. Some people just want all the legal votes to be counted and all the illegal votes to be discarded and then tally up the final correct numbers for peace of mind.
Personally of all the systems in place I would NOT want to see violated, it’s the voting process. It’s really the only way for a serf err I mean citizen to connect with their government. I don’t believe in the defeatest attitude of ‘this is what you got, deal with’ if there’s actually some validity to the claims pursued in the lawsuit. I also don’t brush aside the argument of ‘it’s only 2000 votes, who cares?’ mindset either. This just discourages future voter turnout though I guess that’s what the elite what. Reduce the turnout and control who does show up. Concentrated effort. Fuck that. The main reason for this giant post is because of Remembrance Day. A day for all those who died so democracy / republics can function and the rest of us don't have to wake up knee deep in a trench, eating rations and wondering if we're going to see tomorrow.
Ironically after all this, I confess I don’t even watch news. Keyword: WATCH. I do not need to watch a panel of eight loud mouthed, bobble headed, pocket lining, social grifting, narcissist sellouts including Van “nothingburger” Jones who works for Jeff “Trump’s the boss” Zucker. I only ever watched The Price is Right on CBS, sorry Les “Trump is good for CBS like I am for sexual misconduct” Moonves.
Oh and of course how I can forget the celebrities? I always value the input of a D List Celebrity who earns less than a CPA telling me how I need to think because I’m too stupid to be an individual in a free society. Not to mention Stephen Colbert crying from atop his ivory tower. His tears like acid, stinging the backs of the serfs some 25km below him who have just lost their jobs and homes. Oh poor him, he’s just upset about dat press conference? Let’s all build a bridge up to him, pyramid slave style, wave Biden flags and rest assured he’s safe and no harm will come to him! He can continue to enjoy his $60million net worth like he always has, even before Trump was his president!
I am aware that this echo chamber is tuned in the key of Dbm while I come in here humming in the key of G#MAJ7 but a little dissonance is good for the ears.
