So who is proven right on election night?

Also comes down to how a person defines fraud. What do you think of the FBI and the deep state colluding with big tech to suppress any stories that might hurt Biden but they know are true like Hunter's laptop? Which according to that Politico survey clearly changed the outcome. Or pushing stories like Russian collusion that they clearly knew were false?

We don't even need to get into illegally changing voting laws, not following the legally passed laws in place, not performing any signature match in any swing state, all of the irregularities that all benefited Biden and only occurred in swing states, etc.
Well musk owns twitter. As for the deep state I don’t know anything about it. What I do know is that there are basic, common sense things that can be done. And for the party crying we’ve been cheated, and for the party crying our democracy is imperiled, those things are a minor inconvenience
 
Elections in this country are free and fair. Election fraud is rare and statistically insignificant. Trump brought over 60 legal challenges after the 2020 election and lost every one. He lost every recount and audit. And yet most of your candidates this Fall cling to the fiction that the 2020 election was stolen, and that election fraud is happening right now, facts be damned. Some hint that they won't concede if they lose, and argue that the only way they can lose is if there's fraud. That's fvcked up and beyond dangerous. The fact that you don't care about any of this and/or are oblivious to it is fvcked up as well.
I agree our elections deserve confidence and respect. But I also don’t want to limit anybody’s right to say otherwise.

Marc Elias is no dummy. He's good and he became very wealthy advising Hillary and the Democrats in 2016 and 2020. His 2016 involvement with the Russia hoax is well documented. It was probably legal, but you have to give Elias credit for covering the paper trail with enough crap so we will never know for sure.

2020 was different. Elias and the Democrats came up with a game plan, flawlessly executed it, and badly out-coached Trump and the GOP. The game plan was essentially to use the pandemic to coordinate litigation and administrative processes to relax voting security, especially in close battle-ground states, which made election misconduct easier and more difficult to catch.

I don’t think there is much doubt that there was an all-out institutional effort to beat Trump. The Hunter lap-top fiasco is an example. The intelligence official letter took coordination and input from very smart and connected people. If truth would ever come out, I wouldn’t be surprised if that started in the Perkins Cole law firm

There were statistical anomalies with tabulations.

The Democrats did substantial election manipulation before the votes were cast, the Republicans were caught flat-footed, and tried to catch up afterwards. Post election challenges are next to legally imppossible in circumstances more egregious than 2020. Trump’s post election conduct was stupid, destructive and I’ll-advised.

JD Vance wrote a book all about how poor people are lazy and blame others for their problems, real "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" type stuff. I loved it, castigating poor people for the decisions they've made to reach their station in life is one of my favorite pastimes.

Now he tells poor people that China, illegal immigrants and liberal elites are the reason they aren't successful. Pretty lame about face don't you think?

How's Mastriano doing in Pennsylvania?
 
C'mon, man. You can't seriously be equating what we're seeing this cycle with the sour grapes we've heard from Hillary? You know they don't even compare.

Especially since Hillary conceded right away.

Still waiting on Trump to concede.
 
Loons are not serious political people. They get mad, vote and then slowly disappear over the years. Left or right the dynamic is the same outcome over time. "Have a little faith baby".

Is it the slew of October partisan GOP polls predicting a "red wave"? Or is it the actual trends showing up in the early voting, and the data that Simon Rosenberg provided in this Meidas Touch podcast earlier today? Hey who better than me to post something controversial, right?



This is a long (27 min video), and undoubtedly most people will not bother to check it out. But if for whatever reason the "Red Wave" being touted by the likes of bailey, dbm, DANC, ftw and others fails to materialize, and you find yourself wondering how all of those Trafalgar/ Rasmussen and myriad of polling outfits you've never heard of could all be wrong, then you can come back and watch this and know that it wasn't that the GOP was "robbed". Rather it's that polls can only tell so much and actual data and results can sometimes tell you things that pollsters miss...

There's been a few folks questioning these October polls- here's an article that raises some valid questions...


Think about how all of a sudden the polls shifted in Oct, and as we witnessed on this very board the drumbeat was led by partisan GOP pollsters. There was a period of about 10 days when no independent, non-partisan polls were released but seemingly every day there was a new Ras, or Trafalgar or IA poll filling the void. Now it's to the point that national media is touting a huge GOP advantage, but that is not what the actual early vote totals (26 Million) and data (Dems +3 Million) is saying. Specifically in order to have a wave you have to have a dearth of votes from the opposition and that's normally what happens in midterms...



But Dem early vote in 2022 is actually higher in background states than it was in both 2018 and 2020. And according to Rosenberg who is part of the effort and privy to the data, Dems voting early increases Dem overall turnout.





While some people claim that it leads to a cannibalization of election day turnout, he points out that the Dems have concentrated their efforts to get the most reliable of Dem voters to vote early. By doing so, they are now able to concentrate on motivating lower propensity voters to the polls, instead of having to extend time and energy to turning out the regular Dem voters in the next few days and on election day...


Of course the Red wave could still grow into a tsunami on election day and wipe out the leads the Dems have. But at this point in time, that's not what the actual data is telling the people who are privy to the data and analyzing it. He sounds pretty confidant, so we'll see...

But if the "red wave doesn't drown us all and the main proponents and advocates of same on here are whining incessantly about "stolen elections", then redirect them back to this thread. And laugh at them... ;) :D
We're kicking your boilermaker a#$ on Tuesday! Hoosiers 83, Purdue 7. Wrong board?
 
By all indications it should be a bloodbath. I look at tightening races like NY Gov, Oregon Gov, and Washington Senate as indicators that Democrats could be really on the rocks.

How are those races being tightly contested? It's the equivalent of Republicans having to rally to defend seats in Mississippi or Wyoming.

I love Tiffany Smiley and will be ecstatic if she takes out that snaggle toothed old hag.

She's a good candidate.... but trying to flip WA is likely a reach too far. We'll see

In 2016, white suburban women were just too dumb to choose themselves so they voted for Trump because their husbands told them to do so. In 2018, the saviors of the republic. In 2020, the saviors of democracy. In 2021, they were Racists for Youngkin. Now, “roaches”

And attacked the House, right? And continued to lie about it the entire year. Everyone around Trump admits he knows he lost, yet he has undermined our country by getting his multitude of morons to think the election was stolen from him.

Splittting hairs to say the least.

Hil and other Dem leaders screamed "illegitimate" from the mountaintops while their cable news/entertainment partners sang the chorus.

They didn’t say there was election fraud. They said Russia interfered. And they did. That’s a huge difference.

COH was last seen in a leather jacket jumping a shark tank on a tandem bicycle. Jeez. That could have been posted by any of our resident nutters.
 
Did Brookings run a similar analysis on the 2018 midterms or 2020 ballot to count how many Democrat candidates were election deniers in the fallout from Hillary’s 2016 election claims?

Why stop at 2016? I bet many dems still think Bush stole the election. And that SCOTUS is illegitimate because of Garland. And let's not forget about how the dems screwed Rick McIntyre in 1984.

Bottom line is both sides think they are getting cheated.

Of course the early vote totals show a Democratic advantage. What else would they show?

Meanwhile, good polling does show the race shifting red. 538's Senate model recently shifted to toss-up, with even a very slight GOP advantage. That's important because 538's model gradually decreases the importance of structural effects (like the incumbent President penalty), and increases the importance of polls as election day nears, so the model is now almost entirely polls-only. In other words, it's predicting a good Republican outcome not because of any sort of punditry or expertise, but simply because that's what voters are telling pollsters to expect.

I know some liberals are still irked about 2000. And that's not surprising. 2000 was a clusterf*ck, and there's a lot there to complain about. But the people who are actually still pissed about it, who make a big deal about it, who think Bush was illegitimate, they are few and far between. It's a minor sideshow that doesn't mean much. Why? Because Gore dropped it. After SCOTUS ruled, Gore dropped any remaining challenges and conceded. Then he went to Congress and counted the votes, and then he went to the Inauguration and graciously witnessed Bush sworn in. If Trump had that sort of grace and humility, we probably wouldn't still be having these arguments.

Thanks for the history recap, but I was alive and well at that time. So to you, it's not about being an election denier but which side is now the biggest election denier. Got it.

Well, the R's lose that comparison since Trump took it to the Congress. But the dems actually stole a house seat from the Pubs in 1984 and highly considered it again in 2021 with IA 02.

My point wasn't which side is worse, just that it happens on both sides and has happened for a long time.
 
Progressives dislike Adams and what he stands for, and want to hurt his standing for the future.
And Adams will happily work with Zeldin to end bail reform and bring back broken windows policing. Zeldin will give Adams everything he wants and be a partner with him in returning to Giuliani/Bloomberg era criminal justice policies.

Gov: Lee Zeldin wins

I have already laid it out elsewhere. 2000 it was 5 people robes. 2004 it was voting machines in Ohio. 2016 it was the Russians.

Did they go at the Capitol? No. Did they riot in D.C. in 2016 and then again for the inauguration in 2017? Yes. If calling the sanctity of elections into dispute is an attack on Democracy, the Democrats have been playing that game for 22 years. You don't get to go all Pikachu face when your spouse starts listening to all your rhetoric about the marriage being broken and then goes and acts accordingly.
 

Grow up
I never named a side. It's wrong and dangerous as a whole when people do this, whether R or D. So please save me your grow up comment.
 
With this economy, the Ds will likely get rolled. That shouldn’t surprise anyone.
