Nothing they can do about it. The recount and audit showed no fraud. As expected.

Honestly, Kafkaesque doesn’t even begin to describe it. Gregor Samsa turning into an insect seems plausible in comparison to this stuff

That’s what I find disturbing, too. I have no doubt that Biden will be POTUS in January, but these people aren’t going anywhere....and if anything they will be more annoying

Typical authoritarian techniques. They have a plurality of their base believing it. But I would bet lots of money that many in that base are just going along with the memes because their strong man says it.

You couldn’t in Oregon. Once the signature has been checked, the ballot is separated from the signed envelope and the ballots are all anonymous. No way could you identify a ballot.

GA managed to perform an honest, valid hand recount (which it kinda sorta had to wave a wand to do, given it was supposed to be an audit*) and found more votes for trump, yet he's still not satisfied because he still lost.

YOU LOST, LOSER. GET OVER IT.

Screw their statement of how the media is covering it. The Secretary of the State of Georgia is reporting it, and how dare you attempt to undermine his authority. How dare you attempt to undermine the will of the voters in my state.

This is sedition. I am furious that he's using my state to try it. No, NOPE. Not going to happen.

BYE DON.

Their big deal in GA has been about signatures. I have a few articles on how that is so BS, but it's late and I can't find them at the moment. I did find this, though.

A ransomware attack that hobbled a Georgia county government in early October reportedly disabled a database used to verify voter signatures in the authentication of absentee ballots.


My, my. Fascinating, isn't it?
