Election 2020 (And More)

WSJ (cited by Hot Hair) tells DOJ to Drop the Georgia election lawsuit "Bad call." Via the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 07.06.21 (Morning Edition), Margot Cleveland at Da Fed explains Why The Biden Administration’s Lawsuit Against Georgia’s Voting Rules Is Legal Hot Garbage

And the Left culturally appropriates a Right wing trope as Eric Adams wins Democratic primary race for New York City mayor (Adams opposes the 'defund the police' movement). Insty has a big spread "apparently it’s okay to say “Stop The Steal” again, now that lefties are doing it." Mike LeChance at LI, Is Questioning Election Results a ‘Threat to Our Democracy’ When Democrats Do It? 

"Now all of the candidates still in the running want to be able to review ballots. Weren’t we told that questioning the outcome of elections is a threat to our democracy? I’m pretty sure we were."

Althouse, "Eric Adams won the Democratic nomination in the race to replace Mayor Bill de Blasio — squeaking out a narrow victory in the ranked choice primary..."

I'm so glad that happened. It would have been very hard for people to accept a different outcome. Who could trust what happened inside a computer that shuffled and recounted votes for weeks if it didn't match in the original, simple version of the count?

All of which makes this whine from the Peacock more amusing,  What's keeping democracy experts up most at night? An overturned election "Analysis: Amid all the voting changes in state laws, giving more power to partisan officials to overturn an election is at the top of the list of concerns." Isn't that just about what happened in the NYC primary? Of course, what they're really talking about is Jan. 6.

WaPoo (cited at Hot Hair) whines In ramp-up to midterms, GOP candidates center pitches on Trump’s false election claims. Also from WaPoo (but reproduce at the Greenwich Times), A horn-wearing 'shaman.' A cowboy evangelist. For some, the Capitol attack was a kind of Christian revolt. Casting a pretty wide net with his aspersions. They hate you. They really hate you. 

Sundance at CTH, Nancy Pelosi Directs Capitol Hill Security Police Units to Regional Offices in California and Florida, Future Locations Coming

In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions around the country. When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: why does the Capitol Hill police need to expand beyond Washington DC?

Essentially, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is expanding the federal law enforcement mechanism of the legislative branch into specific areas where they can investigate political opposition armed with legal authority.

This is a concerning shift in events; however, there is a likelihood such a move is connected to the larger political goal of enhanced federal enforcement to quell any rebellion, while working in concert with the DOJ.

Jerry Dunleavy at WaEx has  the Capitol riot's unanswered questions six months on "Pipe bomb suspect still at-large . . .  The shooting of Ashli Babbitt . . . Continued Democratic claims about Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick" But at Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft thinks he has the  Identity of Ashli Babbitt Killer Confirmed — Careless Capitol Police Lieutenant Is Being Protected by Democrats, Pelosi and Deep State FBI. No doubt that homicide is one of the things that McCaskill Threatens Family With Annual Riot Watching (Victory Girls, also from the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 07.06.21 (Morning Edition). Karen Townsend at Town Hall notes Hispanic activists claim Red states securing their borders is an "insurrection", you know. The continued criminalization of policy differences. 

Matt Margolis at PJ Media finds Wikipedia Co-Founder: Site Has Become 'Thought Police' That 'Shackles Conservative Viewpoints

Sanger cited four highly contentious issues in U.S. politics last year, all of which exposed Wikipedia’s blatant left-wing bias: Trump’s impeachments, Biden’s scandals, the antifa/BLM riots, and alleged election irregularities. Sanger noted that with regard to Trump’s impeachments, “The articles are so biased, in fact, that it is fair to call them ‘propaganda.'”

Articles on Biden’s scandals, on the other hand, don’t simply present allegations against Biden and offer his side’s defense. Rather, the articles all take a dismissive attitude towards the allegations made against him, including the claim that Joe Biden urged the Ukrainian government to fire prosecutor general Viktor Shokin for investigating Burisma Holdings—where his son Hunter sat on the board—even though there is video evidence of Biden bragging about getting Shokin fired. The video, of course, is not mentioned in the article.

Breitbart has a Poll: Three-Quarters of Capitol Hill Aides Believe GOP Will Flip House. Don't get cocky, though, 'Bonchie' at Red State thinks For Some Republicans, the Losing Is the Point. There is some virtue in being the force that resists unnecessary and harmful change, but they aren't even doing that, David French. Sophie Mann at JTN has a poll too; Supermajority of voters say Big Tech companies could swing election to favored candidate. They may be a little slow, but they do catch on eventually. And speaking of polls, Rasmussen reports Government Spying On Journalists? Most Voters Think So. Again. But they're probably spying on the wrong journolists.
