    1. To my knowledge, Powerline isn’t in any way involved in the forensic examination of the Dominion machines in Antrim county.

      The trouble for Democrats is that fraud is being found almost everywhere, and in massive quantities. Republicans are 100% certain that Joe Biden got creamed, and that Democrats resorted to massive, massive election fraud to rig a victory. Democrats are now an openly criminal party, and Biden is not more legitimate than some “US Governor General” appointed by Chairman Xi to run his North American satrappy.

      1. Then the media will say any one type of fraud isn’t a big deal and Republicans will only be allowed to reference one type of fraud and not a hundred types of fraud at different parts of the process.

        1. I think I am not first to advance this theory.

          There is no electoral-criminal master mind who orchestrated the whole thing.

          The theory is called “Murder on the Orient Express.”

          As to who dunnit, they all did it. And Inspector Hercule Poirot is going to cover the whole thing when the snowplow train comes to dig them out. Given the delicate situation and the grievances against the victim, even Poirot will become complicit by not turning — everybody — in to the Croatian authorities.

      2. “The trouble for Democrats is that fraud is being found almost everywhere, and in massive quantities. Republicans are 100% certain that Joe Biden got creamed, and that Democrats resorted to massive, massive election fraud to rig a victory.”

        Yes George the Democrats are crooks. That being said the real problem is the Republican controlled legislatures in these swing states allowing the steal to happen as long as they get to keep their jobs. They like in Michigan said they didn’t see any substantial fraud (like for instance physically threatened board of canvasses members–illegally blocked observers, suspicious 2am vote drops etc.) after they met with Trump and talked to him. The Penn legislature wasn’t even willing to extend its session passed Nov30th to consider it. Disappointing as the SCOTUS & other court ruling are I wasn’t surprised; it is the legislatures’ job ultimately to certify electors. They essentially willfully abrogated their responsibility. Remember the republican establishment/party leaders never did like Trump; it was the people who elected (and as far as I am concerned re-elected) Trump. The bogus Russian collusion/Mueller investigation that lead to the bogus impeachment was started by a Republican congress after all. They are glad he is likely gone, they think that things will get back to “normal” after his departure.

  3. I am to believe a “Specialist”…

    … is another “expert” who turns out to be incompetent? Have any “experts” this past year not proven themselves to be incompetent when they aren’t actively duplicitous? People who still trust “experts” after this year are a special kind of stupid.

    Then again, this is why this sort of thing needs to be put out there, and not censored by our betters, or buried by judges refusing to hear cases. Most of us can factor in the fact that this guy screwed up before, and what he says and does deserves special scrutiny. We don’t need our betters telling us that since this guy screwed up, we never need to listen to him again. A standard they don’t seem to apply to their just as incompetent “experts” who say what they want said.

  4. Glossed over or put down to incompetence is the fact that with minimal research, the Trump campaign found 19 precincts with over 100% turnout in a state they thought was Michigan, but turned out to be Minnesota. Apparently, there was so much fraud, it didn’t really matter which midwestern state they looked at, it just jumped out at them. This does not instill confidence in me. I have yet to hear or read anything that claims this turnout in these 19 Minnesota precincts was either false or unique.

  6. I put little weight in the claims of Republicans or their lawyers regarding this election.

    What convinced me of fraud was the actions of Democrats. Kicking out observers, fighting against audits, and above all else, ordering the voting systems wiped (as did occur in Michigan and Georgia). Further, just like the Hunter Biden laptop, the Democrat’s big tech quislings launched a censorship campaign.

    I am not yet convinced that there was enough fraud (other than in Georgia) to flip states, though I certainly, at this juncture, consider it more likely than not.

    1. A free and fair election requires observers and for the observers not to be harassed by partisan vote counters and election officials.

      Another requirement of a free and fair election is the freedom of assembly but Democrats shut down Republican events across the country with violent mobs.

      As you noted, Democrats used censorship to prevent the freedom of speech, which is another aspect of a free and fair election. It isn’t just preventing speech but also censoring searches and tailoring what people read on FaceBook, Google News, whatever the Apple equivalent is, as well as the other “news” apps. It is one thing when you go on a blog or an aggregate site because they are upfront about what is presented. It is another thing where information is manipulated behind the scenes to prevent information from being shared.

      Aside from the election fraud, we didn’t have a free and fair election when looking at other factors.

      1. 150% agreed, Wodun. (hey, if we can have voter turnout beyond 100%, I can agree beyond 100%, right?).

        What Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc, are doing is beyond Orwellian, and IMHO an even greater threat than vote fraud. I’m a bit biased on this issue because I’ve been warning for over a decade that these companies, which use outright spying as a business model, are a massive an inherent danger to both the country and the world, but I’d have much preferred to have been wrong.

        Knowledge is power, and big tech knows more about most people than Orwell’s Big Brother could have ever dreamed of. It was only a matter of time before they exercised that power.

  7. Show me a small government office (or even a medium one) that isn’t months behind on software and OS updates on computers that are actually connected to the internet and used more than 20 days out of the year. The last government office I visited (within the past 5 months) was still running Windows 7 and Office 2013 on their everyday production machines.

    The fact that a computer (the one that programs the tabulators) that is supposed to be air-gapped (which it isn’t, technically, because, again, these places don’t exactly have the funds to hire NSA-level IT personnel, but it is likely disconnected from the internet) is running an even MORE out-of-date version of Windows is neither surprising, news-worthy, nor remotely nefarious. If not for HAVA, that server would probably still be on XP or Server 2003.

    So to me it’s a bit hypocritical or self-defeating for the “Forensic Audit” to claim that a computer system shouldn’t be updated without re-certification by a federal government lab and also complain that the most recent Windows updates aren’t immediately applied to said system.

    It blows my mind that people whine about how poorly most government offices are run, but once elections are involved, all memories of those incompetencies, inadequacies, and lack of budget magically disappear.

    And 100+% turnout is pretty easy to accomplish in college towns and/or cities whose populations have grown 20% in the last 4 years, especially in states with Election Day Registration. People are notoriously lazy and if they have the ability to wait until the last minute to update their voter registration, they’ll wait until the last minute plus one and then whine because they’re being disenfranchised for being lazy.

    I wish the voices on the right who have been screaming “Stop the Steal” would have spent more time pointing out the hypocrisy of the left and their desire to pass the National Popular Voter Interstate Compact. It would have been pretty easy to make the point, “you wanted to create faithless electors by forcing them to vote against the will of the people, we’re just taking your idea and making it our own”.

    Most of the people tasked to handle these things don’t run elections more than once or twice every two years and even then they spend 80-90 weeks out of those two years focused on property taxes, fence disputes, marriage licenses, and all sorts of other mundane, mind-numbing governmental administrative stuff. It would be helpful to remember Hanlon’s razor in most of these discussions.

    1. There are legitimate reasons for running old versions of Windows but not updating your voting software or voter rolls?

      100% turnout is pretty unlikely because of deaths and people moving.

  8. Also, if you want to focus on stealing elections, keep an eye on Iowa District 2. Around 400,000 votes cast, with plenty of blanks. Originally a 40+ vote spread out for the Republican, final tally after recount shrunk it to 6 votes out of 400,000, still for the Republican. Democrat candidate contested the recount, but went straight to the US House to have them decide instead of through the State or the state’s courts.

    The result of that election contest won’t have any major effect on the overall makeup of the House, but it’s going to be pretty easy for people to lose sight of it with the country focused on Georgia the next few weeks; they’ll have a chance for any number of shenanigans in that House contest.

  9. America has a joke election system because the US has a huge number of elections and Americans want to do things on the cheap. This has led them down the path of employing “technology” when it is entirely inappropriate. It has opened the door to massive fraud. 2020 was not an exception, but it certainly did push the envelope.

    I suggest that states, counties and cities can continue to run their systems in whatever crappy way they want to. But, for federal offices, the ballot should ONLY have candidates for federal offices. This should keep the choices down to usually no more than 3 (excepting possible special elections). Voting should be on paper ballot with no machine scanning at all. All counting should be done by a human, with scrutineers and an air-tight audit trail. No transport of ballots. The number of polling places needs to increase by at least a factor of 5 and preferably 10. Results will be phoned in about an hour after the polls close.

    That’s how the Westminster system works around the world. It works very well. I’m sorry that the US didn’t invent a working system, but it’s time to kiss this horrid mess goodbye.

    1. You can’t really go cheaper than pen and paper ballots, with volunteers overseeing the process. That’s how we do it up North and we usually get results within two hours of the polls’ closing.

      It’s done with machines and scanners because the powers that be want a way to change the results easily and stealthily.

      1. You’re agreeing with me. The “Canuck” part of my name is real. I’ve voted on both sides of the border. I prefer the US for virtually everything except how elections are run.

        1. When we watch British elections, they have the local folks who are doing the counts writing things on big chalkboards, and phoning their results in to election headquarters, all on live TV. The headquarters person on the phone reads out the vote total, and then read them back to the local folk, to ensure that the total was received and recorded properly. It sounds like orders being given on a navy ship, where they are repeated back and acknowledged. Such practices exist as a form of error checking, error correction, and verification.

          Under the US system some dweeb slips a USB stick out of his pocket and clandestinely adds 20,000 extra votes, and nobody can even figure out what’s happening. It’s all numbers-from-nowhere.

  10. I think people need to see that video if only to see how weak our election security is. It is tough to believe that system was ever acceptable.

    1. It relies on people running the system being honest people with good character and the past 12 years have shown us that the people in positions of power lack these qualities in any verifiable amount.

      1. Also, no one can claim that we used to trust the system or that it has always been honest. We have had observers for a long long time because no one trusts the vote counters when power over other humans is granted to reward and punish and with controlling trillions of dollars is at stake.

        The incentives for election fraud have never been greater.
