How about we listen to our very own goverment for that one chief.
"The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result."
this statement was made back on November 12th. If your going to push baseless conspiracy of a "entire country" the burden of proof is really going to be on you.
Because not only would you have to go prove that there was widespread voter fraud. Proving somehow the very agency that is supposed to look into election integrity is somehow wrong.
But even then. the numbers on that you just provided, STILL wouldn't overturn the election!
biden won by 7,060,140 votes. Not a thousand. 7 MILLION. Which probably would be a bit less considering gerrymandering (because electoral collage is garbage)
While that website you just linked, is claiming that there is 1,317 proven cases. That is FAR from widespread considering the total amount of votes was 155,506,056 for both candidates, and that "fraud" number (I put in air quotes since there is no sources for where this number was pulled from)
no where near enough to be a table turner.
(oh and this is also assuming that those 1,317 cases all voted democrat.Which by the power of probability is astronomically unreal.)
to put this in perspective.
if we took both primary parties and pretended that was somehow of all the people that voted. (this is exuding third parties) and figured out the rate of fraud or total votes divided by "fraud" it would be 0.000008469123543330042% of them being fraudulent.


yeah, that's astronomically tiny, and it would be even smaller considering third parties and written in ballets.
Perhaps maybe do the math next time. And maybe bring a clown nose while your at it.
this has been long debunked.
Again, perspective. I never once said any of this would overturn the election or make Trump magically win. Not once. But you are assuming that over 1,300 cases means just 1,300 votes? You didn't read a damn thing. Lacius at least seems to have glanced over it...

There are cases involving ballots in the hundreds. I'm sure I've seen a couple in the thousands but never bothered to bookmark them, so I can't be bothered to find them right now. There were ballots in the trash in pretty much every state, and NOT JUST REPUBLICAN BALLOTS. Some were not even filled out (never made it to the recipients). I don't know if anything on the outside of those ballots would indicate R or D, but that's not my point at all. Most States did not know how to handle this, and it was a problem. Failure to acknowledge THIS (not the results of the election) means you don't know how to think for yourself. You only know how to parrot media outlets that say shit you agree with.

(I'm seriously not going to link every story posted. I just watch the darn news myself as it comes out.)

And still, sending out unsolicited ballots is a problem. People APPLYING for absentee ballots with the required proof of identity and voter registration, is ok, and a godsend for many.

meanwhile conveniently glancing over the fact the part of the government that checks for election integrity was secure.
https://www.cisa.gov/news/2020/11/1...ture-government-coordinating-council-election

WASHINGTON – The members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee – Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Assistant Director Bob Kolasky, U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chair Benjamin Hovland, National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) President Lori Augino, and Escambia County (Florida) Supervisor of Elections David Stafford – and the members of the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) – Chair Brian Hancock (Unisyn Voting Solutions), Vice Chair Sam Derheimer (Hart InterCivic), Chris Wlaschin (Election Systems & Software), Ericka Haas (Electronic Registration Information Center), and Maria Bianchi (Democracy Works) - released the following statement:


“The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result. "

again, define widespread. Numbers? Area? How about the entire country?
Along while implying the website you linked was every single one. You got ran into a corner and tried to move the goal post. Makes you look really desperate.

That was a result of De joy being put in place and fucking up the USPS. Which would of not happened other wise if it wasn't for Trump trying to actively meddle in that specific area.
As for the trashed ballots. Not 100% sure. In some places it was spoiled ballots. (Oklahoma)

Even Trump's own defense team knows that this whole "election interference" nonsense is bs.

It is funny to me that she called her audience idiots, though.

Not even sure what you mean by "every single one", OR "moving the goalpost". The list on that website is just an example. One of a large number of examples. Google much? Again, there are "fact checks" on left-leaning snopes that admit ballot tampering while calling memes false because the memes happened to use higher numbers than, and get this... THE ACTUAL CASES (cases cited in the articles). Cases not covered on that web page.

umm... the list on that site goes back to WAY before Trump was president. Care to try again? It's you who sounds desperate, and too damn lazy to even read what you're commenting on.

This excuse needs to be stopped. Shouldn't be able to continue to be purposely misleading in professions like this, let alone with unreasonable people. At the very at least, there should be disclaimers.
Here’s the difference.. when Fox News used the “no reasonable person would believe what we say” defense, they stated their show was entertainment only.. just a comedy show.
Sidney Powell can’t use that as a lawyer, Makes you a “officer of the court” and filing legal arguments in a court of law, Make you liable for perjury.. she can’t go to the Judge “Can’t sue me because that was my comedy act”

My point was, does the show itself have any disclaimers about being entertainment only?
No the FCC is only good for stopping naughty words and nipples.....not lies.

“ A spokesperson for the FCC told us that, “We do not have any rules or licensing requirements in which a cable channel might categorize itself as news vs. entertainment.”

You shouldn't be able to act like a news channel/segment then say "lol not actually news" without telling your viewers.

Apparently, purposely spreading false information is against the FCC. Link

I get not wanting the government to get too involved, but clearly something has to change.

We have to be careful on how to have to deal with Censorship.. but at the every least it should not be allowed as a Defense in a Court of Law

suuureee
again, define widespread. Numbers? Area? How about the entire country? https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud

So let me get this straight. you make a giant ass claim, but then... don't back it up.
Really nice job right there.
So the link you provided wasn't supposed to prove your statement of "widespread voter fraud" but instead was supposed to say
"Well fraud happens"
Again, your trying to move the goal post here. you just went from
"there is widespread voter fraud, here's my proof"
to
"Oh my proof was just a sample. And I never treated my statement as the end all be all"
Oh and let's not forget that many court cases had been held about widespread fraud. And every single one ruled that there wasn't.
Why the fuck do you think these people who said there was fraud is rappidly back tracking because the company involved in making the voting machines is suing them for their damaging statement. Because it aint real chief.

the best is that Heritage states there have been only 1,317 cases of voter fraud since 1979......
2020 -158.4 million people voted..... 1,000 cases in 41 years is pathetic!

What, because fucking Buzzfeed and other outlets took things out of context according to her based lawyer?


HOWARD KLEINHENDLER, ATTORNEY FOR SIDNEY POWELL, RESPONDS TO MEDIA ALLEGATIONS CONCERNING MOTION TO DISMISS FILED AGAINST DOMINION COMPLAINT

New York, New York March 23, 2021

Yesterday, several news media outlets cut and paste out of context portions of our motion to dismiss the Dominion complaint to “spin” a message that the election fraud allegations that Ms. Powell presented to various courts and to the public were not credible. I’d like to clarify what actually was presented to the court. First, let me be clear: any suggestion that “no reasonable person” would believe Ms. Powell or her comments on the election is false. The language these reports referred to is a legal standard adopted by the courts to determine whether statements qualify as opinions which are exempt from defamation liability.

As the DC Circuit reaffirmed just last week, there is no claim for defamation when the alleged “defamatory” statement is a legal opinion. Ms. Powell’s statements fall precisely into this category. Ms. Powell reviewed sworn affidavits, declarations, expert testimony, and other highly corroborated evidence concerning the election which Ms. Powell filed with the courts and shared publicly. She continues to stand by those opinions today. Our motion, in part, argues that the Dominion case should be dismissed because legal opinions are not grounds for defamation.

In sum, the legal standard of a technical legal defense crafted by the courts has been improperly manipulated by the media to tell a false narrative. Ms. Powell is not backing down or retracting her previous statements concerning Dominion. Dominion’s case lacks legal merit and should be dismissed in its entirety.
