As early voting is under way across the country, issues are popping up in several states. Here are some snapshots from various news sources around the country on Friday:
Arizona: In Maricopa County, home of Phoenix, about 20 ballots were burned when someone set fire to a mailbox.
Pennsylvania: In Lancaster County, election workers flagged 2,500 voter registrations dropped off Monday in Lancaster County for suspected fraud. Many of them had the same handwriting.
Virginia: A federal judge is ordering Virginia to return the names of more than 1,500 “noncitizens” to voter rolls following a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice saying the commonwealth violated the National Voter Registration Act.
The Justice Department said the commonwealth unlawfully removed individuals deemed “noncitizens” from voter rolls within 90 days before an election, citing a “quiet period” in the National Voter Registration Act that mandates “no such voter cancelation or list maintenance programs may be conducted” within that time period.
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is blasting the ruling, calling the move a “politically motivated stunt.”
Mississippi: The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against a Mississippi law that allows ballots that are postmarked Nov. 5 to be counted if they arrive up to days later.
The ruling covers Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, but the issue has been remanded to a lower court for further deliberation and will likely get appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Georgia: Nearly 2.5 million ballots have been received in early voting. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said early voting this year is “shattering turnout records.” Thus far, 35% of all the state’s registered voters have cast their ballots.
Maine: Nearly 165,000 voters have already returned their ballots. Maine has 948,734 registered voters; thus one out of four have cast a ballot already, either by mail, in drop-boxes, or through in-person voting. Maine has ranked-choice voting.
California: More than two million California voters have already voted early, according to Political Data Inc. That is about 11% of California voters have returned their ballots.
Look for the Supreme Court to overturn in the next few days, or else the lower court ruling may louse up the election.
The steal is on…..2020 all over again
During the 2020 presidential election, Trump was ahead in five swing states. During the night, those states closed their counting centers for about 3-hours. When they re-opened Trump was no longer ahead. The refusal of uni-party and judiciary players to investigate, or question, actually increased the highly suspicious nature of the activities. We must accept that cheating and voter fraud is a real problem.
3rdGenAK’n: Just spitballing here or do you have an opinion on what SCOTUS is going to overturn?
Try and keep the comment in the right-of-way.
“But… there is no proof whatsoever about any election fraud!” Scream the leftists.
.
How many of these incidents will be investigated in any way? My guess is zero. One side of the political aisle will pull out every legal maneuver they can to stop the investigation. And, a bunch of politicians will swear nothing happened.
.
Non-citizens allowed to cast votes without any ability to ensure they are legally allowed to? Nope, will never happen, they know it is illegal. (When I was 19 years old, I knew it was illegal for me to purchase booze, but I tried to do it anyway.) Counting ballots that arrive late? No, no possibility anyone would try to exploit those extra few days. Who would possibly do that?
.
No excuse mail in voting? Nope. Not a chance someone would use that to vote more than once. Not a chance they would vote more than once with a ballot that was sent to the former occupant. No way!
.
But, no investigation, no proof. Ignoring odd things is the very reason why people think elections are stolen.
Did I mention that Kelly is a sore loser?
Election interference is a sign of desperation.
