					<description><![CDATA[Big Maq:

Consult the actual criteria necessary to reject a signature in GA (after the GA SOS agreed to settle a Dem lawsuit) and you would find that the process agreed to makes rejection of any signature highly improbable.  Shazam  y&#039;all.

Any more concerns?

Thanks for sharing again, Big Maroon.  :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Georgia - signature match rejection rate:

2020 - 1,322,529 absentee ballots - 0.15% signature based rejection rate

That is = 1983 votes

Compared to other recent votes:

2020 Primary - 0.28% rejection rate
2018 - 0.15% rejection rate
2016 - 0.24% rejection rate

Source:  https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3561858110596406&#038;id=2102174426564789

And if we don&#039;t trust what the GA SOS says (maybe he is boldly lying about this?), we can go here to download the absentee ballot list and in column U filter by &quot;Invalid Signature&quot; for each election...
https://elections.sos.ga.gov/Elections/voterabsenteefile.do

The rates as reported by the SOS seems to be in the same ballpark before and after the 2020 settlement (i.e. &quot;rules change&quot; discussed in above article).  

Even taking the highest rejection rate of these, that would be 3703 votes.  

Those extra 1719 votes (if we were to assume they were &quot;fraudulently&quot; accepted) is still a far cry from the 11779 margin Biden won by.

Had there been a **Dramatic** change in rejection rate based on signature match since the GA settlement in 2020 (which allows for signature &quot;curing&quot;) vs before, there MIGHT have been a case to make.

BTW, there are a small number of people for whom a signature may not match perfectly. 

Didn&#039;t make sense to me initially and sounded suspicious, but then digging into it, there are a variety of reasonable reasons why - age, physical conditions, medications, accidents, etc..  All the settlement does is give these people the opportunity (within a very limited window of time) the ability to prove who they are and confirm that it was their signature.

Had the numbers been dramatically different, I&#039;d be on board - but, man, we gotta stop throwing around suspicions like they were conclusive of something nefarious.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Zaphod,

I think Washington state is an example of once you go blue and mail in ballots you&#039;ll never go back.

Everytime you raise the issue of election integrity, their response is &#039;show me the fraud&#039;. Well, the way the system is set up, you can&#039;t show the fraud, because the initial stage where the ballots are accepted as legitimate is unsecure.

The only possible solution is for red states to band together and start pushing back from federal overreach. 

Washington state is NOT going to be one of those states. But we can make sure our state and federal representatives support the America First agenda. 
I do think Newhouse will have a tough time being re-elected, but the power of incumbency is mighty, along with the free flowing dollars from outside the district.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Michael Towns wrote on 1/16, to which I can only say, &quot;Agree&quot;:

Without going into too much detail, I’d say we’re in the endgame stage of our American culture and civilization. The situation is rather grim, to say the least.

Consider Venezuela and what happened when courts there rolled over and played dead while ballots were stuffed and elections rigged. Of course, the shape of the stuffing and rigging were different, but no less effective: somehow, Chavez and his party always come out on top.

Will Republicans win again? Not unless they start cheating, too. And when both sides start cheating, a polity and a body politics can’t survive such wide-scale fraud and deception. And yes, evil.

Folks, we’re in deep trouble. It’s not going to get any better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m mystified as to why anyone needed/needs to talk about fraud/irregularities/etc taking place on election day AT ALL.

Is it not a fact that the Constitution of the United States vests ALL power for setting the election rules in the State legislatures?  That the executive and the judicial branches have NO POWER to change what the legislative branch decrees?

If this is true (and please correct me, if I&#039;m wrong), then nothing else is needed.  ALL electoral votes from states where the legislatively-set rules for the election were changed/ignored/whatever - all those electoral votes are invalid and should not be counted.

Where is the flaw in this analysis, please........]]></description>
