The midterms in the blue shitholes will be corrupt, count on it.  They've done nothing to correct the problems (for obvious reasons).   In the free states, laws have been strengthened and the bogus mail in and no chain of custody, no signature and ballot harvesting bullshit have been eliminated.   This is why Schumer/Pelosi tried so desperately to federalize elections.

 There will be pockets of fraud in the free states, they can't help themselves.  But the midterms are not going to be the cake walk that the republicans keep predicting.

https://thefederalist.com/2022/06/23/yes-biden-is-hiding-his-plan-to-rig-the-2022-midterm-elections/

Quote
President Biden really does not want the public to know about his federal takeover of election administration. Dozens of members of Congress have repeatedly asked for details, to no avail. Good government groups, members of the media, and private citizens have filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Not a single one has been responded to. All signs indicate a concerted effort to keep the public in the dark until at least after the November midterm elections. The lack of transparency and responsiveness is so bad that the Department of Justice and some of its agencies have been repeatedly sued for the information.

When President Biden ordered all 600 federal agencies to “expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process” on March 7, 2021, Republican politicians, Constitutional scholars, and election integrity specialists began to worry exactly what was up his sleeve.

They had good reason. The 2020 election had suffered from widespread and coordinated efforts by Democrat activists and donors to run “Get Out The Vote” operations from inside state and local government election offices, predominantly in the Democrat-leaning areas of swing states. Independent researchers have shown the effect of this takeover of government election offices was extremely partisan and favored Democrats overwhelmingly.

At the time the order was issued, Democrats were also hoping to pass H.R. 1, a continuation of the effort to destabilize elections throughout the country via a federalized takeover of state election administrations.

Biden gave each agency 200 days to file their plans for approval by none other than Susan Rice, his hyperpartisan domestic policy advisor. Yet fully nine months after those plans were due, they are all being hidden from the public, even as evidence is emerging that the election operation is in full swing.

Mobilizing Voters Is Always A Political Act
There are several major problems with Biden’s secret plan, critics say. It’s unethical to tie federal benefits to election activity. It’s unconstitutional to have the federal government take authority that belongs to the states and which Congress has not granted. And, given that all 50 states have different laws and processes governing election administration, it’s a recipe for chaos, confusion, and fraud at a time when election security concerns are particularly fraught.

Mobilizing voters is always a political act. Choosing which groups to target for Get Out The Vote efforts is one of the most important activities done by political campaigns. Federal agencies that interact with the public by doling out benefits can easily pressure recipients to vote for particular candidates and positions. Congress passed the Hatch Act in 1939, which bans bureaucrats and bureaucracies from being involved in election activities after Democrats used Works Progress Administration programs and personnel for partisan political advantage.

Executive Order 14019 ignores that the Constitution does not give the executive branch authority over elections. That power is reserved for the states, with a smaller role for Congress. With H.R. 1 and other Democrat Party efforts to grab more control over elections have thus far failed, Congress hasn’t authorized such an expansion.

As with previous efforts to destabilize elections, the chaos and confusion that would occur are part of the plan. The Executive Order copied much of a white paper put out by left-wing dark money group Demos, which advocates for left-wing changes to the country and which brags on its website that it moves “bold progressive ideas from cutting-edge concept to practical reality.” Not coincidentally, Biden put former Demos President K. Sabeel Rahman and former Demos Legal Strategies Director Chiraag Bains in key White House posts to oversee election-related initiatives.

Rahman serves as senior counsel at the White House office that oversees regulatory changes, meaning he approves every federal agency’s regulations and provides legal review of executive orders before they’re released. If you were looking to rush out constitutionally and ethically questionable orders, this post would be key to fill. Bains had been Demos’ director of legal strategies, helping write the paper that was turned into an executive order. He reports directly to Susan Rice, the hyperpartisan head of the Domestic Policy Council.

Rice has served in political positions in Democrat White Houses and the scandal-ridden Brookings Institution. She played a role in the spying-on-Trump scandal, blatantly lying about the same, lying about the Benghazi terrorist attack, and lying about Bowe Bergdahl’s military record.

Rice is described as President Obama’s “right-hand woman,” and it’s been said she was “like a sister” to the former president. She was his National Security Advisor at the same time Hunter Biden was hitching rides on official White House aircraft to other countries for meetings with oligarchs and corrupt government officials. She spread conspiracy theories about the law enforcement officers in Portland during the violent BLM riots that besieged the city. Most worrisome, she was briefed on the Clinton campaign’s Russia collusion hoax, which was used to destabilize the 2020 election and question its illegitimacy.

Leftist Groups Know Exactly What’s Going On
Conservatives may be in the dark, but left-wing activist groups are fully involved in the plot. The left-wing dark money group Demos put out press releases immediately after the executive order was issued, saying it would be happy to work with federal agencies on the project.

And then the group admitted publicly that it “organized agency-based working groups and met with the staff in these agencies to provide technical expertise as they developed their initial voter registration plans, to ensure those plans reflect the knowledge and priorities of various agency stakeholders.” It also admits it “developed research and resources to assist and advance agency efforts to implement robust voter registration opportunities, including a slide deck explainer of the agencies’ potential for impact, best practices for conducting voter registration at federal agencies, and recommendations for modernizing and improving the accessibility of Vote.gov.”

All of that information should be available to oversight authorities in Congress and the American taxpayers paying for its implementation, not just the left-wing groups that produced it. Yet as of this publication date, none of it has been shared.

Biden’s plan “raises serious ethical, legal, and constitutional concerns,” wrote Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., along with three dozen Republican members of Congress on January 19, in a letter to the head of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), demanding more information by February 28 about the secret plot. It went unanswered.

The top Republican members of nine House committees and subcommittees likewise demanded information from Rice and the head of OMB in a letter they sent on March 29. They noted that election activity goes well beyond “the scope of each agency’s authorizing statute and mission.”

One of the concerns shared by the members was that Biden was directing agencies to work with third-party organizations. Nobody knows which third-party organizations have been approved by Rice for her political efforts, nor which are being used. They also asked how much money is being spent on the effort, which statutory authorities justify the election activities, and what steps are being taken to avoid Hatch Act violations. They received no response.

The Foundation for Government Accountability filed a lawsuit on April 20th to compel the Department of Justice to respond to the FOIA request for information. And the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) filed suit on June 16 to compel Justice to comply. Those suits are ongoing.

What We Know
While the White House and agencies are steadfastly refusing to share details about how they’re complying with the executive order, who they met with to develop their plans, or how they’re justifying their involvement in something Congress has not authorized them to participate in, some details are trickling out. Here are a few examples of the widespread and coordinated effort by Biden’s political appointees to meddle in the state administration of elections.

In the midst of a labor crisis, the Department of Labor boasted that it was turning 2,300 American Job Centers previously focused on helping displaced workers find jobs into hubs of political activism. These new federally funded voter registration agencies were given guidance about how to bring in organizations to conduct “voter outreach.”
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services likewise announced plans to turn community health centers into voter registration agencies, using thousands of health care facilities to focus on voter registration and turnout.
The Housing and Urban Development Department sent notice to public housing authorities that they should begin voter registration drives and participation activities. Previously, officials had been barred from electoral activities because they receive federal funding.
“It is presumed residents of public housing might disproportionately vote Democrat. … The executive order targets people receiving government benefits who might think their benefits depend on one party in power,” Stewart Whitson, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability, told the Daily Signal.
The Department of Education sent “dear colleague” letters to universities, telling them that Federal Work Study funds could now be used to support voter registration activities, contrary to previous guidance. The change was made without having gone through any rulemaking process to allow the change.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it’s using its child nutrition programs to push voter registration and enlisting state, local, and federally funded employees to implement voter registration drives in local schools.
The Commerce Department produced a massive, 113-page report which likely took four agency officials many hours to generate. It directs local voting board members about polling stations and poll worker training.
The tactics being used by these agencies were almost certainly contained in the plans submitted to Rice that have been withheld from investigators and overseers who had hoped to have some transparency about what the plans were. Frequently, the agencies claim the tactics are in response to the executive order, yet information about how they were developed has been withheld from the public for much of the year.

It is unclear why Biden and his political appointees are being so secretive about the work that went into their plan to engage in a federal takeover of election administration.

Whatever the case, Americans have a right to know whether these bureaucracies that are meddling in elections have experts in for each state’s election laws, what type of training is going on to ensure that state laws are being followed, whether they are allowing inspections and oversight to ensure no illegal activity, how they are determining whether a third-party group is genuinely non-partisan, whether they are allowing state investigators to approve money, and how much is being spent on this federal takeover of elections.

I have not verified the other numbers.

The 168 million appears to come from the Census Bureau, table 2 on this page:
https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/p20-585.html (https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/p20-585.html)

Now what is interesting is the Census has tables of historical voting turnout here:
https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/voting-historical-time-series.html (https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/voting-and-registration/voting-historical-time-series.html)
Table A-1 indicates that 66.8% of eligible voters voted in 2020. With one exception, this was the highest turnout since their citizen-only records began in 1978 (they have numbers going back to 1964, but percentages only for total population including non-citizens.)The exception was 1992 when 67.7% voted. That was the year Ross Perot ran for president.

So 2020 was exceptional within the last ten presidential elections.

I also notice that voting participation was allegedly higher in 64, 68, and 72 presidential elections but participation rates declined during that period.

We May Be About To See A Real Coup


Quote
Joe Biden’s poll numbers are catastrophically bad. The economy is tanking. Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Increasingly, they are having to choose between food and gas. Many may soon be unable to pay the rent. Immigration is out of control. Afghanistan is lost. China is threatening Taiwan. Europe is in flames.

Any Democratic politician in normal times would be sounding the alarm. Were Bill Clinton in office the wise old strategists of the Democratic Party would be counseling changes in policy, even if only symbolic, and predicting a bloodletting in the coming midterms. No political party in history has ever stumbled into elections in this kind of environment and not been destroyed.

Yet, Biden has not changed course. He has in fact doubled down on his disastrous policies. Only recently, as gas prices surged, he placed yet more restrictions on domestic oil production and sold millions of barrels of crude from our strategic petroleum reserve to Communist China.

Does he not care about his political survival or is he simply planning on winning by means outside the normal electoral process?

We have already seen multiple political opponents of the Biden regime targeted by the White House and the Attorney General. Now the Gateway Pundit is predicting that the Democrats may intend to arrest former President Trump in October prior to the fall elections. Sources talking to AND Magazine have reported they are hearing the same thing from inside the January 6tth committee and that thousands of other Americans who were in D.C. on January 6, 2021, will be arrested as well.

As mad as the idea of arresting Trump may seem there is considerable evidence that Merrick Garland, head of Biden’s office of political intimidation, is devoting serious effort to making the case to support such an arrest. That appears to rest on demonstrating that Trump was somehow engineering an effort to overturn a legal election and have himself installed illegally as President.

The key to making this case from the Democratic perspective is “flipping” a lawyer named John Eastman. Eastman provided legal advice to Trump after the election and insisted that alternate slates of electors should be sent to Washington to vote Trump into office. These electors were selected upon the express provision that they would not take action of any kind unless and until the existing slates of electors from each state had been legally disqualified.

Never mind. Legal niceties are irrelevant. What Eastman was doing was providing legal guidance on how to make a constitutional challenge to the results of a disputed election. That should not be controversial.

But, these are not normal times. We are not really talking about legalities. We are talking about using the legal system of the United States and our law enforcement agencies to crush political opponents and keep a corrupt, dictatorial regime in power.

AND Magazine has confirmed independently that individuals in Pennsylvania who were named as alternate electors are being investigated by the Department of Justice. These individuals are securing counsel in the expectation that they will be arrested and charged – presumably with sedition.

Only two weeks ago the FBI raided the home of former Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, Trump’s pick to head DOJ in the final days of his administration. Clark is another figure who was providing counsel to President Trump regarding how to dispute the results of the 2020 election. The obvious point of the raid was to attempt to gather evidence that would allow for the building of a case against Trump himself.

Talking about the early morning assault on his home later, Clark called the FBI action “highly politicized” and noted that there had been other similar raids recently around the country.

In 2016 Donald Trump emerged as a challenger to the existing political order in Washington, D.C. He threatened to destroy the clubby, uni-party atmosphere and bring a true America-first, populist government to power. The oligarchs and elitists united to stop him from taking office.

They failed.

Immediately, they shifted gears. They moved on to delegitimizing Trump’s administration and trying to remove him from office. They failed at that too although they did succeed in preventing Trump from achieving much of his agenda.

Now, these same powerful interests fear the second coming of a Trump administration. They live in fear that the people will return Trump to power or vote for another MAGA leader like DeSantis. They cannot contemplate allowing this to happen. They will do anything they have to in order to prevent it.

We have already seen laws broken, lives destroyed and our criminal justice and intelligence agencies weaponized against the regime’s political opponents. We may see much, much more in the near future. We may see a former President arrested. We may see his followers jailed. Our most sacred norms and institutions don’t matter anymore. All that matters is that the people who own Joe Biden remain in control.

We may be about to see a coup. A real one this time.

So Cocaine Mitch is deliberately throwing the 2022 senate elections to the democrats because he doesn't approve of the candidates selected by the voters.

How dare the citizens express their choices on who they would want to represent them in the senate.  Do they not understand that a career politician makes those choices for them, and they must vote for these hand picked candidates who will go on to vote only for special interest?

 States rights?  Voter representation?   How dare the citizens even think of this!  It's insurrection!

Oz is another reason why Trump needs to stay the fuck out of the 2024 GOP race. He makes these endorsements based on celebrity vs testing whether Oz is really a conservative.

I saw he laid a couple turds in ads. Seriously?  Crudité?  What the fuck is that?  Way to be in touch with the people who call those things “vegetable plates.”

Good thinking.  In 2020 I checked my dead father and sister to make sure they weren’t resurrected and made sure my mother wasn’t shown as having voted, because for the first time we didn’t take her to vote.  She is way too demented now.  Totally confused, cannot hold a thought in her head, and even declared that she didn’t want to vote when asked.  If I didn’t get her removed then I need to now.

I will check them all again!

Myself too for that matter, I moved out of state too. And hubby!

Update:  Mom is still active registered and I can’t remove her.  Only the voter can remove themselves.  Apparently the general power of attorney does not empower you to do that.  Interesting to know.  However it’s just a form you print out, sign and mail in to them.  I could get my sister to stick it in front of mom and tell her to sign it.

If that is true it demonstrates the incredible stupidity of the digital age. That would be a database field set to accept only numbers in phone number format. There is no reason on earth they couldn’t have put “phone number not available” in that field but that would require too much human coding to make it accept text when it’s formatted for ten digits, two parentheses and a dash.  Computers are stupid. They require tons of human brainpower to make them perform in some approximation of what you actually want and it is never sufficient to account for the myriad variations of real life.

Still, that many people used the same phone number when registering?  Think about it.

But the claim is they didn’t use any phone number at all because it wasn’t required at the time they registered. When the local databases were merged into the state database the AI assigned a default number to all the ones that didn’t have a phone number column. (As I said before it should have been programmed to text a clarification.)

This would be easy enough to debunk.  All you have to do is spot check a bunch of the affected voters to make sure they’re real.  Wisconsin should also have a public campaign to ask voters to update their information.

The real issue here is the effort to censor and squash the GOP investigation.  It’s not “misinformation” that 23,000 voters all had the same number.  It is fact.  And if this turns out not to be fraud, that IN NO WAY means all the accusations of fraud are false.  The Democrats want us to believe the 2020 election was pristine.  Conversely maybe the Republicans see some fraud where there isn’t any.  The truth is somewhere in the middle.  There is confirmed proven fraud elsewhere and that needs to be admitted to by the media if it were fair and objective but it’s not.  That is the big problem here.

It's been a couple decades since I did relational database development. But the concept of a distinct NULL value for a field (where the actual value is not yet known) has been around since E. F. Codd invented relational databases. It is certainly possible that the registrations were in a non-relational database, or that the user interface didn't provide an option to indicate the field should be set to NULL. Whatever the case, sloppy UI and/or database schema design.

YES YES YES!  I've been doing relational databases forever and the worst thing you can do is have a dummy / default value indicating that the data isn't there.  Some companies used 9/9/99 as a flag to indicate that a birthdate date was missing.  Worked great until people started being born on that date.  NEVER use a default value.  Always use NULL. 

Yeah, sloppy user interface design.  You must enter a phone number to get out of that screen.  You don't know it so you just add anything.  Stupid stupid stupid.  The programmer should be horsewhipped.

Just saw this article in the WSJ on J.D. Vance vs Tim Ryan:
Ohio Senate Race Pits Awkward Populist vs. Smooth Politico (https://www.wsj.com/articles/awkward-populist-vs-smooth-politico-tim-ryan-jd-vance-ohio-campaign-midterms-election-polls-congressman-senator-11663964743?st=iem4a8n3iqecz13&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink)

Shunning it, I believe. Ohio has a strong Republican party. Something is wrong with his campaign, and he needs to fix it. But I'm afraid it may be too late.

I don’t know. This article could be spinning it a bit, can’t tell if it’s biased.  It’s trying to paint him as a fumbling buffoon but putting it nicely, like, “Bless his heart.”  I haven’t been following this race and maybe don’t know what I’m talking about but I read Hillbilly Effigy and was impressed with his insight.  He very much connects with the economically depressed and that’s what’s really pissed off and motivated right now.  Maybe he doesn’t need fancy ads and smooth talk; gas and meat prices are speaking for him.  Turnout might be what matters.

His problem is he's not reaching out to those who haven't read his book. People have short memories. They might not remember what he ran for in the primaries, but they will sure remember that he forgot about him in this campaign. Forgetting about your voters didn't work for Hillary, and it's not working for him.

True, if they haven’t read his book they have no idea who he is.  I don’t think young people even read any books anymore.

Looks like McConnell is pulling money from GOP races including JD Vance.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/09/is_mitch_mcconnell_sabotaging_the_gops_chances_to_win_back_the_senate.html

But McConnell is spreading negativity about his own party.

What could the reason be?

Perhaps because he knows that if the GOP wins with a significant number of MAGA candidates in the Senate, he will lose his leadership position.

McConnell, hence, would prefer a GOP loss if it means him retaining his status as leader rather than the GOP winning a majority in the Senate but him being relegated to the back benches.

McConnell is also an old guard of the Washington establishment who is more comfortable working with Democrats than MAGA Republicans.

He is probably relieved that Trump is no longer in the White House.

For him, working with Biden is much more convenient.

He gives Biden what Biden demands.

Lucifer calls it the UNIPARTY for a reason. They're all pigs at the trough. Our trough. We need  to take it back.  It's ours, not theirs.

I saw some clips of JD Vance’s debate and it sounded like he nailed it.

A technical question... Most of the political ads out there are attack ads.  I think this is because donations to a candidate are restricted, and those would generally be positive.  Donations for general "we hate these guys and they eat babies" are unlimited since they do not support any particular candidate.  Not sure if this is how it works, but it makes sense.  Does it?
