Election 2020: Enough to Make My Head Spin

I didn't think there was this much! So I got up this morning with Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Yuch. It's happened before and it faded away without the need to treat it.

WaPoo whines that Rep. McCarthy threatens tech and telecom firms that comply with Jan.6 committee’s request. As well he should. The companies should be very wary of taking sides in a clearly political fight. AllahPundit at Hot Hair is a beleiber, McCarthy threatens telecoms: Republicans will remember if you turn over records to the January 6 committee. Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 09.01.21 (Evening Edition), Nice Deb at Am Great, McCarthy Warns Telecommunications Companies: GOP ‘Will Not Forget’ If They Hand Over Phone Records to Dems’ Jan. 6 Committee

“If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States,” McCarthy said in a statement Tuesday. “If companies still choose to violate federal law, a Republican majority will not forget and will stand with Americans to hold them fully accountable under the law.”

A more immediate threat from Jeffrey Lord at Am Spec,  Investigate Pelosi and Her January 6 Committee. Yep, if the Republicans take the House, they should immediately seize all the records from the Jan. 6 committee. Also from the Wombat, Gab politely tell Congress to GFY.

Fletch Daniels at AmThink on The Biden Administration's Upside-Down View of Extremism

Every military service was ordered earlier this year to conduct a standdown day to address extremism within the ranks following the weaponless protests on January 6 that were quickly and falsely labeled an insurrection, a charge repeated ad nauseam by military leadership. The Department of Defense ensured that no military member was spared this indignity, demanding that all suffered through it.

Anyone who took part in those sessions can tell you that military leadership's idea of an extremist was anyone who had the audacity to question the corrupt and incompetent elites who are destroying the country. They had no hesitation in defining extremism so broadly that it applied to that half of the country that is patriotic and not willing to cheerlead the rampant violence that ran through the country last summer. A friend called me in tears after she was forced to go through one of these sessions.

Those who had the audacity to vote for Donald Trump felt suddenly unwelcome in the military they swore an oath to serve.

As a general rule, anyone who is willing to call the half of the country that disagrees with him an extremist can find an actual extremist by looking in the mirror.

From HE, EXCLUSIVE: ‘I’ve Lost Everything I have Over This and I’m Happy About it.’ Proud Boys’ Chairman Enrique Tarrio Sits Down with Human Events News. It's an interesting interview, I recommend it:

Enrique points out that 24 Proud Boys have been arrested for their activities on January 6th, with seven currently sitting in jail, and none charged with any act of violence or vandalism. “They are all being held on charges for obstructing an official proceeding. They are in jail, or facing jail, over something that in 2016 people were given a $50 fine for doing as President Trump took office.”

Wapoo is happy that Liz Cheney appointed vice chair of select committee investigating Jan. 6 Capitol attack, as CNN whines Biggs to call on McCarthy to boot Kinzinger and Cheney from GOP over January 6 probe. Yep, votes have consequences.

Atop Da Hill,  Paul Ryan says it's 'really clear' Biden won election: 'It was not rigged. It was not stolen' Why should we believe him; isn't he the guy who pushed Grandma off the cliff? Similarly, Althouse cites The Wisconsin State Journal  "U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson recently said 'there’s nothing obviously skewed about the results' of the 2020 presidential election..."

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.31.21, The Geller Report: Trump Declares “Georgia Has Been Caught”, Trump Declares As 43,000 Absentee Ballots In DeKalb County Reportedly Violated Chain Of Custody Rule. And at JTN, Roughly 43,000 absentee ballot counted in DeKalb County in 2020 violated chain of custody rule "More than 70% of the 61,731 absentee ballots put in drop boxes were counted, certified despite violating chain of custody requirements." There's a reason for chain of custody requirements, therefore there is a reason to violate them. From Breitbart, Hans von Spakovsky: Missing Ballots in Three States Exceed Joe Biden’s Victory Margins. Nothing fishy there at all, am I right? The NYT (cited at Hot Hair) declares GOP election audits create a new kind of security threat. Indeed, a threat to your carefully stolen election and future plans. Ned Cosby at Am Think thinks An important American demographic has been silent about election fraud. Evangelicals. Ted McCartney at Am Great thinks If Elections Aren’t Free, Nothing Else Matters and proposes rather strict rules:

"All elections, for any office, referendum or ballot question, at any level of local, state or federal government, will meet these standards: All votes, for any given election, will be cast on a single day. There will be no ballot drop-off boxes. No ballots will be issued prior to election day. No ballots will be issued anywhere other than a polling place. No ballots will be removed from a polling place. No voting will happen anywhere beside a private voting booth. There will be no mailed-out or mailed-in ballots.

All voters will present a government-issued ID. All voters must be registered at least three months prior to an election. All voter rolls will be published three months prior to an election, and any entry can be challenged by any citizen. Voter rolls will be purged of deceased, noncitizen, non-constituent and nonexistent voters. There will be no absentee ballots. If troops are deployed overseas, voting places will be set up for them, which will conform to all other provisions of this amendment; troops’ votes will be counted in situ and be reported to the troops’ various home constituencies.

All ballots will be paper. All ballots will be marked physically, by the voter. No person other than the voter will be allowed in a voting booth, other than a minor child, or the caregiver of someone who has no use of his hands. Filled out ballots must be kept entirely private until inserted, by the voter, into a ballot box. All votes will be counted by hand, in the physical presence of any and as many observers as wish to observe. All ballot boxes will be kept under video surveillance at all times. This video will be recorded, saved and made accessible to everyone, and will be streamed in real-time, from a time prior to an election, where the boxes are shown to be empty before being sealed, until a time when the boxes are unsealed for counting.

With no pause or interruption in coverage from the opening of the ballot boxes, all ballot counting will likewise be video-recorded and live-streamed, in sufficiently high resolution for viewers to make their own independent count of the votes. Other than the cameras filming it, the voting process will include no electronic devices of any sort.

Politico is unhappy that Dems sweat Latino turnout in California recall of Governor Resting Smugface. 

“The outcome of this recall is going to be a barometer for how well prepared Democrats are for next year’s midterms because if Democrats can’t find a way to mobilize Latino voters to save a [Democratic] governor, how on earth are we going to ask for them to save a Democratic Congress and, therefore, the Biden administration’s agenda?” said Christian Arana, vice president of policy at the Latino Community Foundation, a statewide philanthropic organization that promotes Latino voter participation.
