One Organization Did The Math And It Seems The Numbers Behind Sen. Mitch McConnell's Reelection [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Political Tribune

According to vote tallies in the election, McConnell was somehow able to rack up an insane amount of votes in traditionally Democratic strongholds, including some counties that he had never before carried in an election. Given his dismal approval rating, even towards the end, and the fact that literally 1 in 5 Kentucky voters turned in a ticket with a vote cast for Donald Trump for President and Amy McGrath for Senate, it just doesn’t make sense.

And DCReport may have discovered what the problem is — vote tabulation machines made by Election Systems & Software.

The report from the non-profit organization breaks down, piece by piece, the wide and resounding discrepancies they found in the voting system in McConnell’s state of Kentucky, including discrepancies between the vote counts for presidential candidates and down-ballot candidates and counties carrying more voters on their rolls than they have voting-age citizens in their area. But the short of it all is this; the Trump team had spent the past few weeks railing against the Dominion Voting Systems, claiming that the system was flipping votes for Trump into Biden votes. But as is customary with Donald Trump and his people, if you want to find the true issue, look in the opposite direction of where he’s pointing.

The investigation conducted into McConnell’s election win determined that the counties that saw an alarming leap in votes for Mitch McConnell were not using Dominion voting machines — they were using ES&S. If you were to take this vote flipping theory and swap ES&S for Dominion, you would suddenly have a pretty clear explanation for why Amy McGrath’s votes didn’t line up with Joe Biden’s.

I had heard about this very early after the 2020 Election. I have told numerous people and to see exactly what I believed had happened in print this morning. I am making my first post on Democratic Underground and I read it every single day as the first thing I read in the morning. Thanks to all and to the people who run for an outstanding factual based website. In fact, when I'm in the car, I listen to Tom Hartman and one day he said he read your site and it was excellent. Let's hope someone takes this up maybe even congress investigates.
