Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

from Greg Palast

And, if not for the mass purge of voters of color, if not for the mass disqualification of provisional and mail-in ballots, if not for the new mass “vigilante” challenges in swing states, Harris would have gained at least another 3,565,000 votes, topping Trump’s official popular vote tally by 1.2 million.

Stay with me and I’ll give you the means, methods and, most important, the key calculations.

But if you’re expecting a sexy story about Elon Musk messing with vote-counting software from outer space, sorry, you won’t get that here.

As in Bush v. Gore in 2000, and in too many other miscarriages of Democracy, this election was determined by good old “vote suppression,” the polite term we use for shafting people of color out of their ballot. We used to call it Jim Crow.

Here are key numbers:

• 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.
• By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.
• No less than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).
• At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.
• 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.
• 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.

If the purges, challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast...

2024 Presidential and Senate Results Called Into Question as Lawsuit Advances

(Yes boys and girls, they did steal the election in 2024 just like they did in 2020. Trump offered them the economic brick and was backed by Glorious Israel. It's a fact. Get used to it.) 

from WJBF 6 (H/T AuntBB)

A seminal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 Presidential and Senate election results in Rockland County, New York, is moving forward. In open court last Thursday, Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court, ruled that discovery must proceed, pushing the lawsuit brought by SMART Legislation into the evidence-gathering stage. The lawsuit seeks a full hand recount of the Presidential and U.S. Senate races in Rockland County.

SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, is the lead plaintiff in the case. Both organizations are dedicated to ensuring fair and accurate elections.

"There is clear evidence that the senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely," stated Lulu Friesdat, Founder and Executive Director of SMART Legislation. "If the results are incorrect, it is a violation of the constitutional rights of each person who voted in the 2024 Rockland County general election. The best way to determine if the results are correct is to examine the paper ballots in a full public, transparent hand recount of all presidential and senate ballots in Rockland County. We believe it's vitally important, especially in the current environment, to be absolutely confident about the results of the election."

As stated in the complaint, more voters have sworn they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified, directly contradicting those results. Additionally, the presidential election results exhibit numerous statistical anomalies. The anomalies in the presidential race include multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but where zero voters selected the Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Additionally, a statistician determined that the 2024 presidential election results were statistically highly unlikely in four of the five towns in Rockland County when compared with 2020 results...

‘Take Back the States’: The Far-Right Sheriffs Ready to Disrupt the Election

from Wired (H/T T)

... This wasn’t an average get-together. Leaf and Mack were at a conference for the far-right Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, or CSPOA, a group described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-government organization with links to many other extremist groups. Constitutional sheriffs are actual elected sheriffs who also believe they are the ultimate legal power in their county, and that no federal or state authority can usurp their authority. They also believe that a sheriff’s power stems directly from the constitution, and that they can disregard any laws they deem unconstitutional—a belief that is not grounded in reality.

Leaf is on the board of the group; Mack is the founder. And there are hundreds of members around the country.

In Las Vegas, Mack referred supporters and journalists to Leaf, who was, he said, “doing more than anyone to uncover election interference” in his role as sheriff.

A staunch Trump supporter, Leaf has spent the last four years investigating voter fraud in the 2020 federal election in Barry County—even though Donald Trump won decisively there. He has attempted to seize voting machines, pushed wild conspiracies, and ultimately became the focus of state investigations himself. In at least one case, Leaf appears to have inspired an election official to refuse to verify a vote—an ominous warning ahead of the 2024 US election...

Biden panders to pro-Israel Jews, who are as reactionary on Israel as evangelicals

(The poll numbers don't matter thanks to electronic voting machines. They don't have to answer to the will of the people. Of the people, by the people, for the people is meaningless now and that is why they defend the black box voting system to the death)

from Mondoweiss

Joe Biden took contradictory actions this week. He called campus protesters of Israeli genocide antisemites one day. Then a day later he said he wouldn’t give Israel more bombs to kill Palestinian civilians.

Biden is trying to reconcile two irreconcilable parts of the Democratic coalition– the progressive base and a special interest, the Israel lobby.

Biden’s speech on Holocaust memorial day was an extended attack on the progressives. He said campus protests represent the latest “surge” of the “ancient hatred of Jews,” the same hatred that fueled Nazism.

The smear got sympathetic coverage on broadcast media. “This is ultimately a continuation of why he ran in 2020, when he saw neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville chanting — quote — ‘Jews will not replace us,’” Laura Barron-Lopez said on the PBS News Hour. CNN reporter Jamie Gangel echoed the Charlottesville claim. While CNN anchor Dana Bash said that the protests “hearken back” to Nazi Germany.

Biden’s attack on the demonstrators carries great political risk. The Democratic base is overwhelmingly critical of Israel. By 56 to 22 Democrats say that Israel is committing a “genocide” in Gaza, according to a new poll...

Trump Disqualified by Colorado Supreme Court

In a remarkable turn of events, the Colorado Supreme Court (CSC) has declared in a 200-page ruling that former president Donald J. Trump is disqualified from running for office under Section 3 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Trump Disqualified by Colorado Supreme Court for Committing the Unforgivable Sin

by Scott Creighton

In a remarkable turn of events, the Colorado Supreme Court (CSC) has declared in a 200-page ruling that former president Donald J. Trump is disqualified from running for office under Section 3 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. 

' The ruling, which said that former President Donald J. Trump engaged in insurrection, applies only to Colorado. His campaign said it planned to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.' NYT

The CSC is made up entirely of Democrat appointed justices as this act reeks of political hackery. 

 'The Colorado Supreme Court’s seven-member bench was entirely appointed by Democratic governors, six of whom won retention elections, and a seventh will run to do so next year' The Hill

However, if we take a closer look at this development, we might just find fingerprints from all sorts of perps involved.

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Despite their best efforts, no one was ever able to prove Donald Trump directed anyone to enter the hardly hallowed halls of congress on Jan 6 2021 either on that day or at any time during the lead-up to it. Therefore, this is not about his having 'engaged' in any 'insurrection or rebellion' against the United States.

'The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.' Reuters

Instead, what I highlighted is the issue: 'or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof'

Did Trump give aid or comfort to his supporters? Is there a way to quantify such a claim?

But again, that is also not the sticking point here. What is really disturbing is the suggestion that Trump supporters who were calling for putting a hold on the ratification of the 2020 election are to be considered 'enemies thereof'

Countering Narratives: Nader Did NOT Spoil 2000 Election, It Was STOLEN

Third parties are NOT bad for democracy. The perfect is NOT the enemy of the good. Perfect is the motivation of good as a goal to be BETTER. WaPo published an article featuring Ralph Nader warning America that 3rd Parties would bring you nothing but Trump in 2024 as a Ghost of Spoilers Past. This is a lie. Don't you ever believe it. 2000 was not spoiled... it was stolen.

NYT Already Spinning Bizarre Election Results

Gee I wonder why it is that everyone seems to hate Biden and his agenda yet they keep voting for it in all these special elections. NYT says that's perfectly understandable and we should keep that in mind when it comes to 2024. Hmmm.

Georgia Indictment Against Trump is a RICO Violation in Itself

Willis convened a 'special' Grand Jury (not the same one BTW) in Feb of 2021 in order to try to prevent Donald Trump from running for office next year. Now she has finally filed her bullshit indictment against the presidential front-runner from a county where it seems very likely the theft of the Georgia electoral college votes took place. That is some straight up mafioso shit right there.

The Jill Stein Election Destabilization Campaign has Failed So John Podesta Tries a New Disruption Tactic to Undermine U.S. Election (archive)

(archived from December 13, 2016)

by Scott Creighton

Having failed to “undermine the bedrock of our democracy” with his Jill Stein “recount” effort, John Podesta launches a new destabilization campaign to stop the process of the election and install the war-criminal and serial liar, Hillary Clinton, in the White House.

After careful consideration and many hours of research I concluded that Jill Stein’s recount efforts in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan were not about protecting the integrity of our deeply flawed election system as much as they were about delaying the Electoral College voters from being able to certify their election totals before the “safe harbor” deadline of Dec. 13th thus keeping Donald Trump from being officially named the president elect on Dec. 19th when the voters actually get together and officially cast their votes as prescribed by the voters they represent.

Democracy Wins: Electoral College Voters Cast Votes in Line With Their State’s Wishes (archive Dec 2016)

(archived from December 20, 2016)

by Scott Creighton

First of all, stop saying Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.8 million votes. It’s simply not verified in my opinion.

All of those additional votes came well after the election was finalized and almost every single one of them came from one state, California, where Killary “won” by a whopping 4.3 million votes (most showed up well after the election)

Alex Padilla is the Secretary of State in California and as we know, the Sec. of State overseas the elections of a state. He’s a Democrat who also just happens to have two Mexican parents and when he took office his primary concern was to “modernize” voting in California.

“Padilla said his priorities include upgrading the state’s voting systems to use modern technology and making the act of voting more accessible and convenient..” LA Times

That’s right. He brought in more electronic voting machines.

CNN Propaganda Aside, YES OUR ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED

Electronic voting machines rig elections. That is why so many of our allies across the globe refuse to use them. The evidence is overwhelming. Ever seen The Hack from Leon County Florida? If not, it's high time you did. You could vote your way out of this... but not on those machines.

In 2000 members of the Black Caucus did that exact same thing and with good reason. You know who stopped em? Al Gore.
