So who has anything to gain from all these stories? Like the 9 ballots (later revised to 7) that were supposedly "discarded" in Luzerne Co Pennsylvania? Now these were all reportedly "Trump votes" (according to the DOJ), but several former DOJ officials and people involved with elections are questioning why the DOJ would even be disclosing who the votes were for. A lot of people are calling that "highly irregular", and totally out of character with the way the DOJ should be acting...
Strange how in a county which (just like the County in the other story in WI) went for Trump by double digits an insignificant amount of Trump votes are suddenly discovered to have been discarded. Clearly, 9 votes are not going to sway an election, but yet with all the spotlight and focus on "mail voter fraud" we're supposed to believe that some disgruntled Dems actually tried to commit fraud and destroy 9 Trump votes?
So exactly what are these "disgruntled Dems" supposed to gain? All it does is give a PR boost to Trump's conspiracy theories, and allow the DOJ to make public statements that these were "Trump votes". The Dems clearly have NOTHING to gain by a wacky plot to "steal" 9 Trump votes, but clearly, the GOP plays it for all the PR value they can muster and people like you apparently agree with them. And what was it any Dems have to gain?
- "The Department of Justice released two statements on Thursday announcing an investigation into "potential issues with mail-in ballots" in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
- The first statement said a "small number of military ballots were discarded," investigators had "recovered nine ballots at this time," and "all nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump."
- That statement was deleted from the DOJ's website, and a revised statement that was released shortly afterward said seven of the nine ballots were cast for Trump and that it was unknown whom the remaining two were cast for.
- Both statements set off alarm bells with election experts and DOJ veterans who said they likely violated the department's policy and appeared to be politically motivated in light of Trump's baseless attacks on voting by mail.
- It was unclear whether the ballots the statement said were "discarded" were cast as part of the primary or general election, and experts said it was also highly unusual for the statement to disclose whom voters cast their ballots for."

And isn't it strange that none of the statements mentioned anything about down ballot races. For example which Congressional candidates these "discarded ballots" were marked to vote for?
I'd say if this was 30,000 ballots or so, a sensible person could argue that the Dems were likely involved. But we are talking NINE ballots,...
Ya know, it's almost like Team Trump chose 9 ballots to sacrifice in the PR war. Sort of similar to the way we just found out today that the GOP has been using GOP ACTIVISTS in campaign ads and labeling them as "concerned voters". Of course, you'll note the ad featuring the GOP operative from Georgia is not airing in Georgia. You know where people know her, and plenty of folks might be able to point out she's a phony...
"Donald Trump’s campaign has been accused of running ads with Republican political operatives posing as “real people”.
In one advert an unnamed woman calls Trump the greatest president ever for small business owners, and claimed Joe Biden had never achieved anything in 47 years in politics.
The woman, Kim Sherk, is actually the president of the Georgia Federation of Republican Women, according to gizmodo.com.
“As a small business owner, President Trump has been the greatest president we have seen,” said Kim Sherk in the video"
