Election Coverage on Cold Day

Having a lot of trouble with this post. Over two pages of links, and not much connective tissue to bind them together.

Natalie Winters at TNP reports One in 12 Mail-In Ballots Rejected In October Election in Alaska. Which is much more like a typical election than the fractions of 1 % that were recorded in Democrats strongholds in the November 2020. Hmmm. Jay Valentine at Am Think describes what happens When a State’s Secretary of State is in on Voter Fraud

We have now finished state 15, on the way to 30 or more; we can say with certainty that the Secretaries of State are unlikely to lead voter roll clean up. In many states they thwart it with flagrant data tricks.

Let’s take you through our excellent adventure working with voter integrity groups across the country. You need to understand their dedication, resilience, and the odds they face when the reddest states’ Secretary of State is in on “it.”

“It” means they know their voter rolls are replete with phantoms, but they deny it, evade it, some hide it. Let’s go there. 

Most people have downloaded a file. It’s easy. Except if you live in a swing state on the southeast U.S. coast -- and the file came from the Secretary of State’s office. When you process the file, it contains about every way of screwing up your search capability.

For instance: it is supposed to be comma delimited but it isn’t. It has non-ASCII characters embedded. That means search engines will flail with no result. It has half quote marks which means there is no end of quote so it will not process. There are nonsensical control characters throughout the data set.

This is deliberate data sabotage, intended to make it almost impossible for citizens using traditional tools to parse the data paid for with their taxes. This example is a Republican Secretary of State in effect saying: “well, if I have to give you the voter roll, here it is, now just try to search it!”

William Doyle at Am Great has another article on how Mark Zuckerberg has corrupted our elections, How a Mark Zuckerberg-Funded Nonprofit Turned Wisconsin Blue. Deroy Murdock at Fox, Biden has it backwards -- Democrats, not Republicans, keep democracy in the crosshairs, "Democrats have relentlessly jackhammered the pillars of America’s democratic elections."

According to Joh Sexton at Haut Hair, Ezra Klein explains democracy to Democrats. It they're not winning, it's because of cheating. As AllahPundit reluctantly admits, even the New Harris comms director said Bush "stole" the election from Al Gore, was "illegitimate". Fox, VP Harris' new comms director said George W. Bush 'stole' election from Gore, was 'illegitimate'. Insurrectionist!

At the Neon Nettle, Only 28% of Voters Think Biden Will Be Reelected in 2024, Poll Shows. Mona Charen, who I used to respect at NR, from the Bulwark, moans Are Democrats Trying to Lose.   Elections? "New York City’s suffrage for non-citizens is a calamitous combination of bad policy and bad politics." At Da Wire, Gingrich Says Over 30 House Dems Could Retire In 2022, Paving Way For GOP Wipeout. We can only hope. A sure sign of their plight from Lloyd Billingsley at Front Page, Hillary Hints at 2024 Run. 

Fox, Pelosi accuses Republicans of 'legislative continuation of what they did on Jan. 6' in pivot to election bill "'There is no more important bill,' Pelosi says of federal voting rights legislation" If they can't cheat, they're afraid they can't win. KT at Haut Hair says they needn't worry, Michelle Obama is here to rescue Democrats from a red tsunami in the midterm elections. At Front Page, Michelle Obama: 'We Must Give Congress No Choice' to restore our ability to cheat. But at Breitbart, Stacey Abrams Bails on Attending Joe Biden Voting Rights Speech in Georgia, and the NYT (cited at Haut Hair) whines Yikes: Voting rights groups skipping Biden's Georgia speech over inaction, and KT at Haut Hair, Blue on blue attack: Georgia Dems slam visit from Biden and Harris as “insufficient and unwelcome”

At Am Think, Andrea Widburg warns Democrats plan to copy Obama's tactics to win in November, by trying to make Republicans ineligible to run. Atop Da Hill, North Carolina voters file suit to disqualify Cawthorn from running for reelection. From MSN, Voters move to block Trump ally Madison Cawthorn from re-election. At Town Hall, Email Shows 'Rachel Maddow Show' Producer Feared Rep. Cawthorn Would Ask to Come on Show if Asked for Comment. Robert Spencer at Front Page, Keith Olbermann Wants Trump, Cruz, Boebert, and Others Barred from Holding Public Office. He's still a thing? Who knew?

At Da Wire, Kevin McCarthy: I’m Kicking 3 Democrats Off Their Committees If Republicans Win Back House In 2022. Only three? Breitbart, CNN’s Bash: McCarthy ‘Right’ — Dems Changed the Standard to Majority Deciding Who Can Be on Committees. A rule I hope they make them regret. Also, Exclusive — Kevin McCarthy Lays Out GOP ‘Commitment to America’: ‘A Clear Contrast’ Between Republicans, Democrats for Midterms 

Some specific policy items he previewed that will be in it include the GOP’s “Parents’ Bill of Rights,” plans to secure the border and for holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable for the coronavirus pandemic, Republicans’ public safety vision to contrast with Democrat pushes to defund police, energy policies, and perhaps most importantly economic policies to stop inflation.

Emily Brooks at WaEx, In other House select committee, top Republican sees opportunity for economic messaging. 

At WaEx, Liberal Media Scream: CNN goes full Nazi on Trump. And this differs from every other day how? Fox, Conservative, liberal female figures weigh in on VP Harris report that her race and gender affect headlines, "One woman said, 'Vice President Harris, like any other politician, has something to prove to the American people'" That she's minimally competent.

In Exiles from Blue Enclaves - A Case Study, TJM at Ace's reports on how people leaving northern blue states are making Florida redder.  "66/67 counties becoming redder R's overtake D's for first time in state history." A welcome trend. 

At Da Wire, Mom, Radio Host, Arrested At School Board Meeting Files Federal Lawsuit: ‘I’m Not Gonna Back Down’, in Rochester New York.

Joy told Kelly she was targeted by the school board over her past activism and was meant to be made an example of to deter other parents from speaking out.

Notably, the trespassing charge against Joy was dismissed in the interest of “justice.” The mother and her legal team soon after filed the federal lawsuit to help other parents across the nation hit with trespassing charges over supposed mask/COVID violations, Joy explained.

“When they called the recess, I got this sinking feeling that they were going to arrest, potentially, me,” Joy recalled to Kelly. “This particular meeting was very different than previous meetings. The board had worked with an outside organization called ‘Black In The Burbs,’ which is a suburban version of BLM (Black Lives Matter) and they brought in about 25 activists — all with red shirts.”

“When I came into that meeting there were probably six or seven cameras on me from the second I walked into that room,” she explained. “So, everyone sensed that something was very different about this meeting.”

“The only time [my mask] came underneath my nose was when I took it down to put a piece of gum in my mouth,” Joy said. “And in that moment, that’s when Mary White, who was a school board member, signaled to security and other members of the board that they wanted to go to recess. They then went to recess and I was told by the arresting officer that they called 911, requested specifically that Shannon Joy is arrested.”

Joy recalled the experience as “terrifying” and “humiliating” and noted that in the aftermath, her husband was doxxed. But she also vowed that she was “not gonna back down,” highlighting the federal suit.

Ace, Suspected Antifa "Sleeper" Arrested Carrying Nail Bombs at Florida Protest For January 6 Political Prisoners

Garrett James Smith is a sleeper with no social media history, but a helmet was found in his apartment painted with antifa symbols, as well as a "Direct Action" checklist.

"Direct Action" is a euphemism for "violence" or "terrorism" used almost exclusively by leftwing "protest" groups.

At Da Caller, Sen. Durbin’s Office Won’t Release Emails With GOP Baseball Shooter. James Hodgkinson, who shot up the Republican ball practice field and nearly killed Steve Scalise apparently communicated with several Democrat congresscritters ahead of time. He was nuts, so they're probably just insane rants, but if they won't release they, it fair to assume bad intent. Speaking of nuts and insane rants, from Da Wire, Joy Reid: On January 6, I Worried Rioters Would Destroy Black History Museum. I doubt they knew it even existed. 

At Neon Nettle (henceforth NN), Ashli Babbitt's Mom Torches Pelosi over Capitol Riot: 'This Isn't Your Playhouse'. Well, it shouldn't be, but it kind of is. Chuck DeVore at Da Fed does the math and finds that, contrary to Democrat and media (but I redund) claims, No, Veterans Are Not More Likely To Have Rioted In The U.S. Capitol

Steve McCann at Am Think thinks about The Loathsome Ruling Class and the January 6th Protestors

Speaking of loathsome, at the Da Fed, Disgraced FBI No. 2 Calls For Feds To Treat ‘Mainstream’ Conservatives Like Domestic Terrorists, "To Andrew McCabe, January 6 is the key to implementing frighteningly despotic policies that target conservatives." He should be in jail for his role in the attempted coup against Donald Trump.

Tristan Justice at Da Fed Jim Jordan Refuses To Cooperate With Democrats’ Jan. 6 Witch Hunt. He basically told them to stick it where the sun don't shine. 

“I have no relevant information that would assist the Select Committee in advancing any legitimate legislative purpose,” Jordan added, who is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee with no authority over Capitol security. “I cannot speak to Speaker Pelosi’s failure to ensure the appropriate security posture at the Capitol complex in advance of well-publicized protests on January 6, 2021.”

At Am Great Maurice Richards warns that When Police Are Lawless There Can Be No Justice, "We won’t achieve justice for the victims of January 6 unless we get a real investigation led by patriots in Congress and root out the rot at the Justice Department."

At Am Great the redoubtable Julie Kelly continues to wage jihad on the media narrative,  The Likely Cause of the Media Blackout on Imploding Whitmer Kidnapping Plot, "It is impossible to report on the Whitmer case without connecting it to January 6. So rather than do its job, the national news media is completely ignoring this sensational story."
