these floridians never fixed their shit since the bush-Al Gore debacle of 2000 when clerks were looking for ballot holes as if watching a solar eclipse?
The current is even worse…ati voting by email??? Why not by Facebook or twirra or in our case ktalk?
White privilege imekutana na minority indignation. If Florida flips, @Purple and Drumpf will flip.
The guys who keep on cheering on when illegal immigrants are facillitated to defeat constitutional order in Europe and the US of A will be the first on the cutting edge when these honkies flip.
Hierarchies in human societies are usually based on competence and merit. Those who are up because of their innate capacities can be coerced via tyranny into subservience, but only for a short time. Eventually the order reverts back to its natural state.
Sijui umesema mini but it sounds intelligent :D:D
Assuming you’re living in Europe or North America, you want to say that fear of white retaliation is your motivation for allowing electoral injustice to take place in Florida and Georgia?
No. I am not there. I left to come back and till my ancestors’ land.
There is an attitude being cultivated by very subtle and sinister puppeteers to ridicule and insult white men.
Feminists (and Progressives) are in that band wagon. You cannot defeat a people that way. They will revolt. Trump is not the problem. He is just a symptom. He is just one trail-blazing piece of shard heralding one fucking megamotherfucker of a meteor on its wake.
When those fuckers find themselves cornered, I dont wanna be anywhere near there.
[I]The state elections department and the Florida department of law enforcement, which are run by Republican appointees, have said they have seen no evidence of voter fraud. A Broward county judge challenged anyone who has evidence of fraud to file a report.
Unlike Scott, former Congressman Ron DeSantis, whose election for the governor’s office against Democrat Andrew Gillum is also undergoing a recount, has kept a lower profile despite his own vocal allegiance to Trump.
But the ghosts of 2000 have risen in Florida. Palm Beach county had admitted that it will not finish its recount by the Thursday deadline because its 11-year-old tallying machines are not fast enough and are overheating, while in Broward county, additional sheriff’s deputies were sent to guard ballots and voting machines.
Nate Silver, founder and editor in chief of the FiveThirtyEight website, tweeted that Trump’s outbursts “trying to delegitimize election results is awfully dangerous. Maybe the most openly authoritarian move he’s made so far.”[/I]
You are very right.
It’s a sad day when third world, poor pedigree people want to force their airhead agenda on American discourse. There are two “barrio” states in America that I would never live in, that is, Mexifornia and Florida. The Western world became a symbol of civilization and prosperity because of white people, why do a few noise makers think they know better? We can’t have nice things because of them. They want to change America into their f’ed up version of the country they left instead of assimilating into real Americans.
There are muffled dissenting voices mumbling about illegal immigrants voting and unmatching signatures. But those are voices whose reach has been completely suppressed by mainstream media. Those voices belong to jaded honkies who are quietly watching from the porch, seeping on a cup of coffee. They are nowhere near the megaphone that is the MSM. Not a single soul wants anything to do with their opinions.
Those are the people who quietly went out and voted for Trump when the opinion polls parroted by MSM said he was a sure loser.
Wow! By that you mean that you’re “real American”. Have you for one moment thought about when you were not a “real American”? Did somebody say @Purple can’t marry this or that person, or whatever route you used? They didn’t, yeah? But now because you think you are a true blue blooded “Drumpf American”, you know it all? Wewe shunga shoti. You’ll find yourself bleeding through the nose and burning a cross.
I am now certain they cheated. Georgia as well. Tuweke pressure from whatever angle.
@Purple, you used a word there that i’d like to highlight.
"their [SIZE=6]airhead[/SIZE] "
Thanks hon.
When election results are in their favor, with the slimmest of margins, Dems have no issues calling “it.”
Wamekuwa kama wale watu wa kulia lia “ooh servers zimehackiwa mara algorithms y=0.6444483x - 1486765 nyef nyef!”
Mbona Dems wamekataa kufanya recount in NY’s 22nd congressional district but Republicans must accept a recount in Florida, even when the statistics point otherwise? What measures are being taken to ensure that every Republican voter matters, in a country that’s increasingly becoming hostile to Trump supporters?
[SIZE=7]Ballot box disputes: Democrats use legal action when losing races, but want results untouched when they lead[/SIZE]
Democrats in at least five hotly contested races are either trying to preserve the results – when they are winning – or taking additional measures and legal actions to count more ballots if they find themselves trailing in the election.
In Georgia’s governor race, Democrat Stacey Abrams filed a lawsuit to stop election officials from certifying county vote totals and restore at least 1,095 votes that weren’t counted that could force a runoff election in the state.
Republican Brian Kemp has already claimed victory and slammed Abrams for clinging to the hope of winning the election. He said her victory was “mathematically impossible” because he’s leading by roughly 59,000 ballots.
But Abrams’ campaign remains convinced they could close the gap, saying thousands of ballots may not have been counted. She previously accused Kemp, who was Georgia’s secretary of state, of suppressing the vote.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, claimed Wednesday that if Abrams doesn’t win the race, then Republicans “stole it.”
Lauren Groh-Wargo, the Democrat’s campaign manager, tweeted on Tuesday that Abrams received 84.6 percent of the 2,738 votes reported Tuesday, noting that the margin to force a runoff election has narrowed to 18,617.
A judge will decide on Wednesday whether to rule in favor of Abrams, which would open a potential path to a runoff election, or effectively declare Kemp the victor.
Similar legal efforts are taking place in Florida. There, Democrats Andrew Gillum and Bill Nelson are trying to overturn the initial election results that proclaimed Republican Ron DeSantis as the next governor and former Gov. Rick Scott Florida’s newest senator.
Both sides hired lawyers after the leads for Republicans shrank to the figure that forces the state’s secretary of state to order a recount.
Democrats accuse Republicans of trying to stop the counting of all votes amid their candidates’ shrinking leads. Republicans, for their part, point to irregularities and mismanagement in the handling of certain votes, particularly in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
But Abrams, Gillum and Nelson aren’t the only Democrats taking further actions to overturn initial results. Lesser-known Democrats trailing GOP rivals are asking for a recount while taking legal action.
Carolyn Bourdeaux is trailing Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Woodall in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District by about 500 votes.
She filed an emergency motion on Sunday asking to stop the certification of the results and give more time for Gwinnett County so that a cache of absentee and provisional ballots, previously rejected, could be counted.
She said on Monday that roughly 900 absentee and 2,300 provisional ballots in the county were rejected for “largely trivial reasons,” such as a voter writing the day’s date instead of a birthdate.
“Whether intentional or not, this is voter suppression,” Bourdeaux said at the press conference, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Republican campaign attacked the Democrat for trying to “overrule” non-partisan officials. “If federal judges rather than bipartisan election boards become the arbiter of local elections, all in our community will be the lesser for it,” he said in a statement.
[B]Similar legal efforts were seen in Texas and its 23rd Congressional District, where Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones went to court to extend the deadline for when provisional ballots could be confirmed.
Her legal challenge was dismissed by the court, The Dallas Morning News reported.
Jones is trailing Republican incumbent Rep. Will Hurd by a few hundred votes.[/B]
The Democrat said in a press conference that an election official in Bexar County did not make public the list of provisional voters. “We’ve had issues in Bexar County providing information that should be a matter of public record,” she said. “This includes the list of folks that voted via provisional ballot.”
The Republican campaign criticized Jones’ lawsuit, saying it essentially asked for a break in Texas law.
“The goal of Gina Jones’ desperate lawsuit was to force county election officials to violate Texas law,” said Justin Hollis, Hurd’s campaign manager, according to The Dallas Morning News. “In contrast, our campaign wants every vote to be counted with a clear, uniform standard in accordance with the law. If they are, the final vote tally will reflect the will of the voters and re-elect Will Hurd to Congress.”
[B]In California, two Republicans accused their Democratic opponents of trying to “steal” seats, and of “tampering” with ballots.
In the state’s 39th Congressional District, Republican Young Kim, who would be the first Korean-American woman ever elected to Congress, on Monday accused Democrat Gil Cisneros and his campaign of “harassing and intimidating vote counters.”[/B]
According to the most recent vote count, Kim is leading Cisneros by just 711 votes, though on Election Day she held a lead of over 4,000 votes.
“The Gil Cisneros campaign has been desperate to influence and alter the outcome of this race by harassing and intimidating vote counters in Orange County — and earned a rebuke from the Los Angeles County Registrar for physical ballot tampering,” Patrick Mocete, Kim’s campaign manager, said in a statement.
The Cisneros campaign countered the claims by accusing Kim’s campaign associates of being escorted from the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters.
In light of Kim’s diminishing lead, Cisneros also tweeted thanks to his supporters and promised to ensure “ensure every ballot is counted & every voice is heard.”
The county reportedly downplayed the allegations from both sides, saying campaign observers were asked to leave the building for violating rules.
“We have not addressed anything related to ballot tampering or physical tampering with ballots. Our process is transparent and secured,” the county registrar said in a statement. “If observers are not following the rules, they are warned and after repeated incidents, asked to leave; which has only happened in a handful (3 or 4) cases without further incidence.”
Similarly, in California’s 45th Congressional District, Republican Rep. Mimi Walters accused Democratic opponent Katie Porter and her party of “preparing for a recount to try and steal this Republican seat after the fact.”
She made the accusations in a few fundraising emails, obtained by Business Insider. At the time of the emails, Walters was leading Porter by around 1,000 votes, but by Tuesday afternoon Porter had edged ahead by 261 votes.
But not every Democrat is trying to ensure more ballots can be counted.
In New York’s 22nd District, a judge approved Democrat Anthony Brindisi’s request to impound the ballots from the election, effectively centralizing the vote counting process.
Brindisi is currently leading the race against Republican incumbent Rep. Claudia Tenney by over a thousand votes. The Republican campaign issued a reuke of the move to impound the ballots, saying it will be used to suppress the vote and cement the Democrat’s victory.
“Anthony Brindisi is a desperate Albany machine politician who is watching his lead erode. Instead of letting the process play out to ensure votes are counted fairly as Claudia Tenney has done, Brindisi is turning to lawyers and intimidation to attempt to disqualify votes which are not for him,” Raychel Renna, Teeney’s campaign manager, told WKTV.
“What does Brindisi have to hide? Why is Brindisi trying to prevent votes from being counted? We will protect the integrity of this process and fight Brindisi’s underhanded attempts to disenfranchise thousands of voters and potentially steal an election,” she added.
There’s a philosophy out there among you leftists that anything white, wealthy, male, Protestant and straight is bad. Anyone who doesn’t buy into this narrow minded-ness which interestingly has been rebranded as “enlightenment” is branded big-ly. The labels fly fast and furious: racist, sexist, prejudiced, bigoted. The left has totally owned identity politics because they have nothing else to sell except oppression.
No one wants to be constantly reminded that they are different from what is considered mainstream. Why can’t Americans be Americans first and every other identity second? No more hyphenating, you are either an American or not. Period.
As the liberal media becomes more emotionally unhinged, it has had an unintended opposite effect. What could have been a legitimate concern about this administration gets thrown in the trash can of American minds.
OUCH!
And @Purple becomes Elprup@…
She’s starting to sound like someone we know, closer to home. :D:D
Kazi kwa Maraga wa Georgia.
[SIZE=6]Abrams says she can’t win Ga. race, plans federal lawsuit [/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][ATTACH=full]209235[/ATTACH][/SIZE]
ATLANTA (AP) — Democrat Stacey Abrams ended her challenge to Republican Brian Kemp in the Georgia governor’s race on Friday, but pledged to fight the former secretary of state’s “gross mismanagement” of the elections with a federal lawsuit.
Speaking defiantly to a news conference, Abrams said her actions did not constitute a concession, but she acknowledged that she had no further recourse under the law and that Kemp would be certified the winner.
“Let’s be clear: This is not a speech of concession,” she said. “Because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith I cannot concede that.”
Officials from Abrams’ campaign had told The Associated Press on Thursday that the candidate was considering the unprecedented move of invoking a state law that would let her challenge the results based on “misconduct, fraud or irregularities … sufficient to change or place in doubt the results.”
But ultimately she declined to do so.
In accepting Abrams’ decision to end her campaign, Kemp said he appreciated “her passion, hard work, and commitment to public service.”
“The election is over and hardworking Georgians are ready to move forward,” he said. “We can no longer dwell on the divisive politics of the past but must focus on Georgia’s bright and promising future.”
Kemp, a 55-year-old businessman, has been secretary of state since 2010. He was backed by and had embraced President Donald Trump as he tried to maintain GOP dominance in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to the governor’s mansion since 1998.
Kemp stormed to the GOP nomination with ads featuring everything from the candidate cranking a chain saw and jokingly pointing a gun toward a teen male suitor of his daughter, to Kemp’s offer to “round up criminal illegals” himself in his pickup truck. He’s promised a tax cut and teacher pay raises and pledged to continue Georgia’s refusal to expand Medicaid insurance under President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul.
Abrams’ campaign sparked huge energy across the state and she became a national Democratic star. Election turnout among both sides’ energized bases nearly equaled that of the 2016 presidential vote.
Aides close to Abrams said that since the election she had been wrestling with competing priorities: She wanted to advance her assertions that Georgia’s elections process — which Kemp managed as secretary of state — makes it too hard for some citizens to vote. But she also recognized that a protracted legal fight would harm that cause and potentially her political future.
Kemp’s victory will extend the GOP’s hold on the governor’s mansion. His victory also is an important marker for Republicans ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Kemp’s narrow margin already suggests that Georgia, a state President Donald Trump won by 5 percentage points in 2016, could be a genuine battleground in 2020. Trump bet big on Kemp, endorsing him ahead of Kemp’s Republican primary runoff and campaigning for him the weekend prior to the Nov. 6 election. Now, Trump will be able to return with an incumbent governor as he seeks a second term.
Abrams’ political future is less certain. She made believers of old-guard Democrats in Georgia who didn’t think a black woman could compete in a general election, and she emerged as the party’s clear leader. But the party also has plenty of other ambitious politicians who will want to take advantage of the path that Abrams’ has laid out. The next big shot for Democrats is a 2020 Senate race, with Republican Sen. David Perdue making his first re-election attempt.
