    Voter Intimidation Could Get Very Ugly

    Increasingly belligerent armed militias have vowed to appear at polling stations. But election watchers are on the case.

    , President Trump’s plea to his “people” to “go into the polls and watch very carefully”

    got the attention of voting advocates and militia members alike.

    And no wonder – private militias have become a very visible symbol of polarized America, and

    have been
    deploying themselves with increasing belligerence at anti-racism rallies and other social protests.
    “Hate groups,” declared Whitmer, “heard the president’s words not as a rebuke but as a rallying cry, as a call to action.”

    Yet another conclusory tweet from some random named Chuck Callesto with no link or additional information. If that actually happened it would be interesting to actually read the story behind it.

    States brace for surge of voter registrations as deadlines near


    Virginia, Florida, Louisiana and Pennsylvania have experienced web outages, with more states approaching registration deadlines this week.

    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/18/voter-registration-deadlines-online-glitches-429632

    27M have already voted

    fiber cut in one state shutdown registrations

    Seem like it's only red/purple states with problems, "accidentally" suppressing voter registration.

    Pennsylvania’s rejection of 372,000 ballot applications bewilders voters and strains election staff

    The administrative nightmare highlights the difficulty of ramping up mail-in voting on the fly

    Overall, one out of every five requests for a mail-in ballot are being rejected in Pennsylvania.

    America can't do anymore, and Repugs up to their advantage.

    No fraud: Georgia audit confirms authenticity of absentee ballots


    https://www.ajc.com/politics/no-frau...DJEWBU56WEQHM/

    All the noise about stolen election and fraudulent mail-in ballots is a strategy of propaganda towards "justifying" MORE suppression of voters, early voting truncated, mail-in ballots restricted, in-person voting locations reduced.

    Voting machine company behind so many surprise wins this year raises some questions

    questions about Electronic Systems & Software (ES&S), America's largest voting machine company.

    What we found was a revolving door between government officials and ES&S.

    Voting results in three states that saw surprising majorities by vulnerable in bent Republican senators—Maine, North Carolina and South Carolina—were almost all tabulated on ES&S machines.

    Trump and his inept legal team have barely mentioned ES&S, focusing almost exclusively on
    Dominion Voting Systems

    Owned by a private equity firm, ES&S has been elusive about identifying the people in its ownership.

    A number of ES&S executives and lobbyists have ties to top
    GOP election officials and politicians.
    The ES&S executive in charge of the security

    previously
    worked in the Trump administration as a government executive at Health and Human Services before leaving under a cloud.
    Forty of the 50 states
    use ES&S to cast & count some of their votes.

    Of the 25 states Trump won, all but 3 either partially or fully relied on ES&S machines.

    The states where Trump won that didn't use ES&S machines were Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alaska.

    Three separate letters were sent to the private equity firms who "reportedly own or control each of these vendors,

    with very limited 'information available in the public domain about their operations and financial performance.' "

    lawmakers wrote that

    "voting machines are reportedly falling apart across the country,

    as vendors neglect to innovate and improve important voting systems,

    putting our elections at avoidable and increased risk."

    we are particularly concerned that

    secretive and 'trouble-plagued companies,' owned by private equity firms

    and responsible for manufacturing and maintaining voting machines and other election administration equipment,

    'have long skimped on security in favor of convenience,' leaving voting systems across the country 'prone to security problems'."

    we run the risk that zealots, or investors with a financial stake in who wins elections, or those susceptible to bribery, have an incentive to use subtle software programming techniques to deliberately miscount votes to guarantee an outcome.

    In close elections, software code that invalidates or miscounts a mere sliver of ballots can change the outcome.

    ES&S providing junkets and gratuities to election officials, as uncovered in June 2018
    by McClatchy newspapers.

    For at least 11 years, the voting equipment and software company curried favor with election officials by paying for trips to Las Vegas, tickets to shows and gifts.

    So ing Capitalists own the ing companies that count the votes. ing wonderful

    Not saying you're wrong, but 3.5 years is a political eternity.

    Agreed, and I used to think Hawley would be a front runner, but I don’t think the “fascism with a Yale degree” is going to play well.

    Look at the fascists who’ve risen to power - Hitler, Mussolini, etc. Successful fascism requires a bombastic strongman leading the charge, not a mild mannered Ivy leaguer.

    Repugs are such gullible, unthinking suckers for LIES

    Four years ago, Texas Republicans were the most likely to use mail-in voting.

    Here’s how that flipped in the last election.


    Democratic voters in Texas were more likely to cast their ballots by mail than Republican voters in the last election.

    Absentee ballots, which only certain groups of Texans are eligible to use, have traditionally been a tool utilized by the GOP, and in 2016, counties reported that higher percentages of Republican voters cast absentee ballots than Democratic voters.

    The reason for the swap? It came from the top.

    Experts and political operatives note that President Donald Trump spent months attacking the credibility of mail-in voting to his Republican base

    while national and state Democrats launched their largest-ever push to support the method as a safe option to vote in the pandemic.

    Trump ran against the election then tried to overturn it when he lost.

    65% of the GOP House Caucus voted not to certify the election AFTER Trumpistas killed a cop, trashed the Capitol Bldg., and forced a joint session of Congress to be evacuated.

    This isn't going away.
