Why not indeed? The existential evidence abounds of election fraud and irregularities having happened. It exists just for the looking in forms of
- witnessed and sworn affidavits of polling place and vote counting wrongdoings;
- witnessed and video records of after-hours arrivals of thousands of unmailed ballots in unmarked vehicles;
- mass arrivals of ballots supporting Biden that fail simple statistical tests that attest to their numerical authenticity;
- demonstrated ease with which voting machine counts could be manipulated;
- recorded denials of access to vote processing observers;
- obvious gross numerical discrepancies between registered voters and votes cast;
Uncounted complaints of these infractions and irregularities have been filed across the land, and all have been rejected by our already dubious judicial system, not for lack of evidence, but on procedural grounds. And these procedural grounds smell to high heaven that include the scurrilous use of ‘lack of standing’ of the plaintiff. The legal notion of standing has no basis in constitutional law, and was only concocted in the 1920s to reduce an overly burdened case load on the courts as a means of avoiding/reducing adjudications.
What no court has done is to examine the evidence in open court and find any of it lacking in form, substance, and/or credibility. In fact, the opposite findings have been issued to the effect that the unexamined evidence, even if verified, would not have materially changed the election’s outcome. That is both false and a lie on the face of the vote counts presented in the reams of existing evidence. And whether or not the evidence would change the election’s outcome is immaterial as a point of law. What is important is to examine and conclude on the verity of the irregularities in the November election, and then prepare feasible remedies so that these will not be repeated in future elections.
All of this should be done in order to restore bipartisan confidence in our elections, especially the last one that saw copious amounts of dubious votes arrive in the dark of night to be surreptitiously counted in favor of the Democratic candidate. So now on 6 January 2021, Congress will meet to go through what has been a pro forma certification of the electoral college votes. However, this time dozens of Republican congress critters will rise to object to the electoral college counts.
Given the behavior of the courts, many Republican MOCs maintain with Sen Josh Hawley (R-MO) that “At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections, but Congress has so far failed to act.” Today’s count is fluid, but upwards of 140 MOCs now say they are willing to join in the rejection of electoral college votes, and demand that the collected evidence of fraud see the light of day.
Meanwhile leftwing propaganda organs like the LA Times maintain that “there is no evidence of voter fraud and the integrity of the election has been repeatedly affirmed at the state level, in the courts and in Washington.” Joining in accepting the current election results, no matter how marred, are members of the Republican congressional leadership led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
But given the highly polarized state of the nation and the countless controversies surrounding this election, the simple question remains, ‘Why not look at the evidence?’
Here and here are two recent, extensively referenced reports by John Lott and Peter Navarro that present in detail the case to be made for the existence, scope, and authenticity of the current body of election fraud evidence. How would you judge an appeals process that dismisses even considering the examination of evidence only on the basis of the plaintiffs not having said the appropriate ‘Mother may I?’ at some point in bringing it to the attention of the courts?

Well, since Donald Trump ran the cleanest most secure election in US history with zero evidence of fraud, I suppose there is "no there there" and its all a big waste of time.
OTOH, maybe somebody can look into why the vote counting was stopped for only the second time in US history; the first time ever was one sole county in FL in 2000 being Broward County. Now voting stopped in 5 or so states in one election??
Maybe somebody could find out why. And why that somebody is at it, explain how "not enough illegal votes to swing an election" had the sheer volume of those 'not enough votes" break the algorithm is such fashion that it became abundantely clear that hundreds of thousands of votes were being manufactured. Broke so bad you could not even pretend to defend it. So.....the only the Lying Left has is 'Deny, deny deny all of it.' All of it. Never happened. And thats where we are at.

Hit a hot button. How come they are going ballistic saying this was the most secure election we ever had? If so if appears there is no there there. Full stop, period, and the song and dance. Don’t make sense unless they really got a lot to hide.
Everytime Someone says something don’t add up or, “Good Lord, I can smell the rats”, the Lefties get triggered bigtime. Everytime someone says anything about election fraud, they always say, “aTrump,Trump,Trump. a Trump. And Bush did it too!!!”
Well, let’s take Trump completely out of the occasion and let’s look to see if any monkey business went down. Thousands of depositions. Thousands. No big deal, Its all bogus they assure me.
I say something smells rancid, stinkier than the rotten smell in Denmark. And they reply, “Trump, Trump, Trump.”
If you stand back and ask who was the biggest winner of the election, hands down the winner is China. They came out on top.
“Trump, Trump, Trump!”
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 03 January 2021 at 01:14 PM
We note that our liberal readers still have no idea that the evidence has NOT been looked at; all the filed complaints have been dismissed on procedural grounds. Those who only consume/believe lamestream outlets have no idea that this is the case as they continue to inform us of their ignorance (e.g. @1048am).
More specifically, no authority has yet to identify a single sworn affidavit and demonstrate that it is false and feloniously submitted. (And then, of course, bring charges against the alleged witness.)
Posted by: George Rebane | 03 January 2021 at 01:20 PM
Bill is doubling down the number of affidavits flying around. Trump is making up all kinds of vote irregularity numbers. Birds of a feather...
"The Trump campaign has repeatedly cited the hundreds of sworn affidavits it has assembled. It has even shown stacks of them to illustrate the supposed heft of its legal case. Many of them are not available because they haven’t been filed in actual lawsuits or made available publicly. (Giuliani cited the alleged targeting of their authors for keeping them obscured.)
But among the witnesses who have had their allegations aired in court, many have been dismissed by judges as inadmissible or not credible. One particularly high-profile one alleged many precincts in Michigan had more votes than actual voters, but shortly after Giuliani et al. raised the issue Thursday — alongside their pleas to take the affidavits seriously — it fell apart.
As the Trump campaign will remind you, these are sworn statements. But according to legal experts, the jeopardy faced by those behind them is relatively minimal.
“There is a remote chance that sworn statements (if they are actually sworn statements — most documents that appear to be ‘sworn’ don’t count within the meaning of the statute) could subject the declarant to some exposure under the perjury statutes,” said Lisa Kern Griffin, an expert on evidence at Duke University, in an email. “But perjury prosecutions are rare and almost never arise from statements outside of the context of proceedings in which oaths are formally administered — such as depositions, congressional testimony, grand jury proceedings, or trial testimony.”

Bar, you see, the problem is much of the so called evidence is that it consists of lies and BS. My 123pm also refutes George's propaganda that no affidavits or allegations, or so called evidence has been looked at.

Conservative Tom Cotten speaks against having Congress determine the election:
"The Founders (sic) entrusted our elections chiefly to the states-- not Congress. They entrusted the election of our president to the people, acting through the Electoral College -- not Congress. And they entrusted the adjudication of election disputes to the courts -- not Congress. Under the Constitution and federal law, Congress's power is limited to counting electoral votes submitted by the states," said Cotton's statement.
He also argued that if the Senate continues to demand the election result be changed, "it would not only exceed that power, but also establish unwise precedents."
He explained that it would remove the power of the people to choose their president and other elected officials and put it "whichever party controls Congress." Secondly, Cotton said that it would "imperil" the Electoral College, which many want to see removed because it is based on an antiquated system for an agrarian society that no longer exists.
"Third," Cotton closed, "Congress would take another big step toward federalizing election law, another long-standing Democratic priority that Republicans have consistently opposed."

Our liberal readers believe that the only people in the country who are crazy enough not to accept the 'cleanest and most transparent election' in history are the conservatives of western Nevada County. This regardless of the growing national outcry to discover what really happened last November. We now read that -
Over 400 people from the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), military, law enforcement, and the judiciary have formed a loose network to investigate alleged irregularities in the 2020 election, an organizer of the group said.
Robert Caron, one of the organizers, said that the network includes former intelligence officers, analysts, operatives, military, law enforcement, and judiciary from the FBI, CIA, Military Intelligence, DIA, and National Security Agency (NSA), among others, as well as many former intelligence officers in other countries.
“The fraud was so massive and so blatant, despite what the mainstream media said, that we need to get this information out to the public,” said Caron. “That’s why more and more people from the intelligence community and law enforcement are coming out, which is unheard of.”

Let's compare the Senate choice not to allow any testimony or evidence to be given in the Trump Impeachment.
Trump and the Senate stonewalled and did everything in their power to deny and conceal the truth.
Let's see a count of hands from the Roundtable of those conservatives who wanted to "see the evidence" from respected career government officials - not random part time poll workers and Twitter trolls.
The President is now leading this latest in a long list of conspiracy theories in an attempt at sedition by overturning verified election results.
"If one member of each body of Congress objects, congressional rules require that lawmakers return to their chambers to vote on the merits.
A simple majority vote in each chamber would overturn the challenge -- something that should be easily achieved in the GOP-controlled Congress.
Republicans dismissed the effort as a stunt, noting that specific allegations of voting problems in Ohio have been investigated by journalists and, the Republicans said, found to be untrue.
"But apparently, some Democrats only want to gripe about counts, recounts, and recounts of recounts," said Rep. Deborah Pryce, an Ohio Republican.
"So eager are they to abandon their job as public servants, they have cast themselves in the role of Michael Moore, concocting wild conspiracy theories to distract the American public."
White House press secretary Scott McClellan dismissed the challenge as "partisan politics."
"The election is behind us," he said. "The American people now expect their leaders in Washington to focus on the big priorities facing this country."

Fair, clean and open elections should be priority one.

Yes Charmin, there is no evidence that Trump won.

Not one Republican officeholder objecting to Biden's victory have objected to their own wins, on the same day, on the same ballots, and using the same election systems.
But Trump lemmings believe that Trump's votes were messed with.

Trump has the truth, and here it is,
"We won very substantially in Georgia. You even see it by rally size, frankly. We’d be getting 25-30,000 people a rally, and the competition would get less than 100 people." - DJT Jan. 2, 2021
Posted by: D | 04 January 2021 at 07:54 AM
More evidence submitted by Trump,
"And we won the House, but we won every single statehouse, and we won Congress, which was supposed to lose 15 seats, and they gained, I think 16 or 17 or something. I think there’s a now difference of five. There was supposed to be a difference substantially more. But politicians in every state, but politicians in Georgia have given affidavits and are going to that, that there was no way that they beat me in the election, that the people came out, in fact, they were expecting to lose, and then they ended up winning by a lot because of the coattails. And they said there’s no way, that they’ve done many polls prior to the election, that there was no way that they won."

As usual, when "evidence" is presented RIGHT HERE,, the TROLL brothers ignore it outright. Kinda like the courts. Any excuse not to deal with it. From Emery's rawsewage to Diarrhea's CNNLOL.
They can't wait to see Chancellor Biden installed,, just to be removed for mental issues.Well, there is also being OWNED by China. Just to get their first 'fake' "woman of color" as chairman. Chairman Harris.... That has a scarry ring to it.

Proof positive facts are irrelevant to proggys.
Stick to the clickbait Douchey, it's more believable to the likes of you.

Duh - There have been open admissions by Beeb higher-ups that the govt funded network is biased against anything political they don't like.
also
"Yes Charmin, there is no evidence that Trump won."
You leftys continue the search for the deepest hole in the ground in which to stick your heads.
It is a fact that the set up to this last election was done in a way to promote fraud and make it impossible to prove fraud.
That is the issue.
Posted by: Scott O | 04 January 2021 at 10:41 AM
Charmin, what's a Beeb?
Charmin forgets there is a pandemic, and that is why some changes were made to election processes. Charmin, what will you think if the Georgia runoff totals are very close?

George 8:52 -- As Paul stated earlier the "epoch times" was was founded by John Tang and a group of Chinese-American Falun Gong practitioners and was first published in 2000 IN CHINESE ONLY. Did you know that Epoch Times had over 600 facebook accounts taken down for passing on fake photos and information? Did you know that Epoch Times is considered questionable source for publishing Propaganda, Conspiracy, Pseudoscience, and Numerous Failed Fact Checks?
Perhaps if you folks had better information you wouldn't be making such fools of yourselves by believing trumps lies.. #SAD
The messenger counts George, it's not just the message when the messenger is bogus.

RXCross 1155am - 1) today's Epoch Times is not what it was then, things change - e.g. take a look at the NYT, once a great newspaper, now a leftwing propaganda rag; 2) wanna take a cut at disputing the message instead of beating the messenger?
Posted by: George Rebane | 04 January 2021 at 12:02 PM
George
Can you document your view that the Epoch Times has evolved from what it was?
Posted by: Paul Emery | 04 January 2021 at 12:06 PM
Kriss-Kross 11:55 - So you have no facts to dispute George's 8:52 just as Paul couldn't either. Got it.
Posted by: Scott O | 04 January 2021 at 12:07 PM
WalDoH!™ and the conspiracy wackos get their asses handed to them once again on national TV by Georgia election officials.
Trump is busted for lying.
Posted by: D | 04 January 2021 at 12:21 PM
Duh 11:55 - No, Duh - I haven't forgot (how can I?) about the Chinese-origin virus.
That, in no way excuses untraceable and unverifiable mass voting by mail. My wife and I voted twice in person this last year. We had to show our photo ID. We and the thousands of others that did the same are fine. If you're too frightened to vote in person, then you should request an absentee ballot exactly as has been the case in the past.
No more early (or late) voting and no more mass mailing of untraceable ballots.
Covid is no excuse for voting fraud.
Oh, and you brought up the Beeb - why are you asking me about it?
Posted by: Scott O | 04 January 2021 at 12:22 PM
Paul 12:06 - They have a web site, Paul. Why don't you visit the site now and report back to us all the misinformation and lies?
Oh - because you can't.
Nice try, Paul.

Team Trump was shown the step by step video of State Farm Arena, then, Team Trump intentionally mislead the American people. Those who promote his lies are traitors.
Posted by: D | 04 January 2021 at 12:26 PM
Georgia officials are outing Trump as the laughingstock he is.
Lies and misstatements all debunked.

Georgia is tomorrow, I believe. If it worked like a charm in November, I see no reason for the Dems not to do it again. Only a downside if the Totalitarion Illiberal Black Shirts of the Lefties are honest

Bill is down to the level of linking to the Weirdo Christian website Epoch Times for information. Desperate and pitiful.

Hmmm. If Amy Goodman had read The Epoch Times during Russiagate and Spy Gate affairs, she would not haved looked like a complete fool going on and on about the noose is tightening around Trump's neck back then. Sounds familiar on this site..
There is a reason Canada would grant Amy permission to enter their country with the unequivocal agreement that she must vacate Canada within 48 hours, no exceptions, press credentials or not, lol. Even our liberal friends to the north can't stomach 'that woman'
Georgia on my mind. That red clay reminds me of our Red Congressional District, especially the Redding area.

PaulE 1206pm - no need to as ScottO points out, especially if you believe Cross' assessment of the early years of ET. Besides, I'm more of 'message' than 'messenger' guy, and I've yet to find any ET bloopers. But you can point them out to us.
Posted by: George Rebane | 04 January 2021 at 02:42 PM
ET is coincidentally in the news today,
"Although Falun Gong has repeatedly denied links to the Epoch Times, Li has referred to them as “our media.” The publication, not surprisingly, also frequently runs stories promoting Shen Yun performances.
Like Shen Yun, the Epoch Times relies on advertising blitzes to increase its reach. An October 2020 investigation by the New York Times’ Kevin Roose found dozens of Facebook pages linked to the Epoch Times, each filled with “feel-good videos and viral clickbait.” Roose reported the outlet spent $1.5 million over seven months to increase its reach on Facebook with ads. Once brought into the funnel with clickbait content, the Epoch Times would hit readers with offers to subscribe.
In August 2019, however, Facebook banned the Epoch Times from advertising on the platform for violating its transparency rules. The Times then shifted its budget to YouTube. NBC News reported at the height of its online spending, content from the Epoch Times and its video counterpart New Tang Dynasty (NTD) combined for 3 billion views on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter in a single month. That was more reach than any other mainstream news publisher.
As its pro-Trump content proliferated, so did its access to Trump’s world. According to the Washington Post, Epoch Times reporters have received special access from the Trump administration. Its sit-down interview series "American Thought Leaders" is a who's who of Team Trump. They've interviewed Gen. Michael Flynn, Newt Gingrich, Sidney Powell, Alan Dershowitz and Rep. Devin Nunes — just in the last two months. And, in a big win for the Falun Gong, the group was actually mentioned by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in November."
