A group of fucking jackbags that the moron community calls patriots.

Think we all can point to where the biggest weakness lies.

Imagine if the Trump team put this much effort into any of the things he actually campaigned on or the pandemic response he might not have lost.

The number of RTKL requests filed with the county election officials is starting to show up in the Final Decisions issued by OOR... but some are getting thru with bizarre reasoning by certain of the OOR Hearing Officers.

Are they in Erie? I would love to talk to them.

It is time to present the evidence or shut up. You would think that one of these judges would have enough guts to have a evidentiary hearing and call them out. The judiciary is definitely at fault here.

Can't wait to cast my ballot wearing an Elton John shirt. Bet none of those fascists will wonder who I am voting for

For anyone wondering, here's how these "interviews" typically go:

Interviewer: "So who did you vote for in the last election?"

Interviewee: "Candidate X"

Interviewer: "Did you verify that?"

Interviewee: "No, I ... what?"

Interviewer: "Can you prove beyond any shadow of doubt that your vote was actually registered for Candidate X?"

Interviewee: "I chose Candidate X. I don't know what you're asking."

Interviewer: "So you admit that you have no idea what the source code of that voting machine looks like."

Interviewee: "No, I've never seen the source code."

Interviewer: "So you can not definitively say that you voted for Candidate X."

Interviewee: "I can definitively say that. I voted for Candidate X."

Interviewer: "But you just admitted that you do not know what the source code of the voting machine looks like, and earlier when I asked you to definitively prove beyond all shadow of doubt that your vote was actually registered for Candidate X. Why are you refusing to just answer the question? It's a very simple question. What are you hiding?"

They aren't interested in "auditing the election" or "just asking questions". That's a sham front designed to burn people out from arguing with them. It's about replacing democracy with a permanent ultraconservative ruling party under the guise of "the will of the people".

The only real data in this story is that election officials were interviewed. The rest of this is pure speculation (unless anyone actually has some real data.?)

It gets better. They filed dozens of lawsuits alleging just about everything under the sun, and when asked for evidence, they (1) refused to produce any, (2) were unable to produce any, (3) claimed that producing any would unfairly harm their case, or (4) presented something like an alleged secret agent who would only give his codename of "Wolverine" and demanded the court sign an affidavit declaring the trial to be held under maritime law or whatever.

They lost every single time. The judges have already shut them down, over and over and over again.

Oh look, Republicans doing research so they can cheat because cheating is the only way they can win.

The answer to the very first question about who they voted for should have been and should always be "None of your fucking business". Elections in the country are by secret ballot that means I don't have to tell you jack shit when asked.

Why wouldn't they. Everything we're proud of as Americans goes directly against conservative principles. Separation of church and state, allowing people to live their own lives and make their own decisions free from state interference, giving people a say in their own governance, caring for one another, ensuring as best we can that everyone has a bed and no one goes to that bed hungry, giving people who've made mistakes a way in from the cold in order to fully participate in society, all of it is fundamentally counter to what conservatives want, and they're simply wrong.

If Trump had said "Wear a mask and stay home if you feel sick" in January of 2020 he'd still be the president, happily selling state secrets to all and sundry. It was his inability to strategize in a non-comic-book-villain way that made him and $50/gram Kush decide that the best way forward was to encourage the plague and hope it killed more Democrats than Republicans.

Instead of developing strong policy best serving all American citizens he spends his time trying to game the system.

His handling of the entire thing was insane. And the weirdest part: the media was fucking rallying around him and he still squandered it.

I will always remember he was doing one of his endless afternoon press briefings (you know the ones where he didn't have to be on camera talking about a subject he was woefully ill-informed on - but he was!) and some ABC reporter served him the softest of softball questions.

Reporter: "Mr. President. A lot of people are really scared. What would you tell them right now?".
Trump: "How dare you ask that. You're terrible. That's what I think. A disgrace! Asking me such a biased question!"

All the dumb chucklefuck had to do was say something like "I know people are nervous but we will get through this together!" or "You have my word as President that we are doing everything we can as one nation!" But nope! He somehow managed to fuck it up.

The reporter underhand tossed a beachball sized easy question and the guy whiffed like a pouty baby. It was incredible to behold.

"To probe for weaknesses" Trump allies should sue for defamation.

This is just intelligence gathering. The Fraud Squad will be out in full force if Oz and/or Mastriano lose in November. What would be interesting is how they respond if one wins and the other loses. How the democrats somehow rigged one election but not both?

Of course I don’t know what the “source code” looks like. I don’t even know what a source code is and dollars to donuts, I’d bet the interviewer doesn’t have a fucking clue what a source code is either. Even in the most rudimentary terms.

Maybe because they don’t want to see a 600,000 vote lead on election night disappear between 3-4am again.

It’s totally normal to create an absolutely fraudulent slate of alternative electors to manipulate the count and then ask the Vice President to instate them illegally under threat of being hanged on the steps of the Capitol building.

A real simple rundown of source code is if you open a web page, there’s a way to view the code for that particular page.

For example, if using Windows Edge, right click on a blank space on the page and select “view page source” to view the HTML code for that particular page. That’s basically source code….not exactly what you’d see in a voting machine per se
