Tucker Carlson: not that long ago, suspicion of voting machine software was bipartisan

The New Neo Posted on by

I think Tucker has it right. Despite some bipartisan jaw-jawing about the problem, nothing was done.

Please watch this segment:

Here’s an article with some of the history.

And yet – as Carlson points out – journalists say that reports of any problems are false, have been debunked, etc. But we don’t yet know the specifics of most of the allegations and there’s been no time to actually know whether they’re true or false. They will have their day in court, but I doubt whether the matter will be convincingly put to rest, and because of the time element the proceedings will be very rushed.

Tucker Carlson: not that long ago, suspicion of voting machine software was bipartisan — 39 Comments

  1. The official Twitter account of Elections Canada boasted earlier today that elections in our northern neighbor are tabulated not by Dominion (nominally, a Canadian company) but by paper ballots “counted by hand in front of scrutineers”. In addition, how many Americans are aware of the suspicion of mail-in ballots (clearly extremely susceptible to abuse and fraud) in most of Europe? Overwhelming evidence is already available that this election has been stolen from the citizenry, but will Sidney Powell and Lin Wood (both very fine lawyers) truly be able to release the kraken to devastating effect?

  2. Per usual, I weigh in on the Nebraska angle. Here in Omaha, we have paper ballots of the fill-in-the-bubble type. Early in my legal career the Election Commission was located in the courthouse and after Election Day all the ballot boxes were in the hallway. Chain of custody. Voting machines are foolish and wrong.

    The election business *used* to be dominated by ESS of Omaha and Diebold of Toledo, Ohio. I see where Dominion has moved in and take market share. Diebold went Chapter 11 and was sold.

    ESS is a private company but the Omaha paper used to cover it well and I thought the election business in the US was really was a duopoly. Heck, I dated the head of HR for ESS.

    I suspect that Dominion moved in and cut prices and took market share from ESS. It also appears that Dominion excelled at lobbying and, perhaps, bribery. As a Nebraska chauvinist, I don’t think ESS would engage in illegal activity.

    Texas rejected Dominion’s bid because it thought its equipment was not secure. That’s a big deal to me. I also note that ESS has clients in TX along with two other companies.

    But if Dominion’s goal is to put Dems into office then everything changes. The profit motive is secondary to stealing the election. And I’m sure the Dems paid Dominion well for stealing elections.

    This is big, big stuff. I also note that Sidney Powell and Lin Wood are heading up Trump’s effort. They are serious and successful lawyers. I believe them.

    I wish I knew the CEO of ESS. I bet he’d have some interesting things to say about Dominion.

  3. Because of speed, patriots who want honest elections should be protesting now.
    The Million MAGA March was mostly a peaceful success — except at end when some BLM thugs did some violence.

    We need protests, and more mass protests, and car protests to shut down normal econ activity, and even a “General Strike”

    The Velvet Revolution of 1989 happened on Nov 17 in Czechoslovakia – my wife & her family were very much there. Mass protests. And a general strike – stronger in Slovakia since almost all worked for the gov’t.

    The goal is:
    No Election Fraud – No Certification
    Election counts outside the rules invalidate the results – No Certification

    Redo Election – or No Certification

    ZeroHedge has many articles, fairly detailed.
    No excitement for me, or not much, until Trump’s legal team makes its arguments. I already believe there was fraud – what do they think they can prove? What do they need to prove in order to get No Certification?
    Is a ReDo of the election possible for a state? or a Fraud City?
    Redo elections in the Fraud Cities remains my preferred choice – no certification and going to the House is also OK. I suspect fraud certification is in the works.

    Tucker is a tiny bit on Parler, so here’s my echo of him, great 3 min about America:

  4. I think the Dems are wholly capable of stealing an election.

    After watching the Thomas and Kavanaugh hearings, the fake impeachment and the three years of the Russia hoax, I know the Dems have the will to power and will do *anything* to obtain it.

    It was clear to me from day one that the covid was the excuse for the mail-in ballot fraud. But even with those fraudulent votes, they needed the insurance of the computers of Dominion.

    Lots of people need to go to jail. Sidney Powell says they will.

  5. There’s a fundamental tension, between keeping the ballots of individual voters secret, and having a traceable chain of custody so you know that a whole host of unidentifiable fake ballots haven’t been inserted into the count. Because if it’s a secret ballot the chain must broken at the voter or else the government has a record of how everyone voted. And if the chain is broken at the voter why can’t fake votes be inserted not traceable to any voter (because of necessity none of them are).

    I am certain though that someone has solved this problem, perhaps in another context, for example Bitcoin is kind of like that. But I’m sure the solution is much simpler.

  6. neo: Fox has blocked your linked video on “copyright grounds.” Or at least that’s what I’m seeing.

  8. Oops. Wrong again.
    (It’s the link to Sidney Powell’s Fox interview where she describes what’s going on and what’s going down.)

  9. Concur with Huxley.

    The current narrative is maddening. For instance, my wife faithfully listens to Rush on the Patriot channel. I walked by the radio today as the woman announcer referred to Biden as the “President elect”. I see that Newsmax on line, while not using that term, President elect, speaks repeatedly of Biden’s inauguration if Trump’s efforts to overturn the vote fail–as though the results are official. I occasionally see references to Trump’s false claims of election fraud.

    Nearly every story portrays Trump’s efforts as obstructionist. Most talk only of the problem finding sufficient fraudulent votes to change the result; ignoring the real issue of extra-legal manipulation of voting rules and procedures–which should null the whole process.

    The populace is being prepared.

    Cornhead. Virginia used a system much like you describe. Once the ballot was completed and scanned, it could not be tied to a specific voter; although the paper copy was retained for a possible audit. Anonymity was preserved. Security was achieved via the voter check-in procedure.

    Even with COVID, there were multiple options that could have provided adequate security for the vote and the individual. One would be drive through voting, with official or volunteer transportation provided to anyone who needed it. (Two examples prove the concept. My city conducts a drive through hazardous waste processing event about every six months with a massive response. Never leave your car. Paperwork done through the window, trunk/hatch popped, an army of workers to cull the take, all done. Chick-Fil-A’ s COVD era drive through arrangement also proves that people will accept the concept and the process can efficiently handle a huge flow through.) Similar voting procedure could have been done cheaper than what the cost of this debacle will end up to be.

    Too late now. As we all know, there was a reason that it was set up the way that it was. The mystery is why Republicans did not challenge it more aggressively before the fact.

  11. Even with COVID, there were multiple options that could have provided adequate security for the vote and the individual.

    The simplest option would be to hold in-person voting on Friday evening, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon. That way, the voters in each precinct are more evenly distributed throughout the day, you process a mean of perhaps 25 voters an hour, and you don’t have people collecting in lines at precincts. You could also have the check-in tables and booths or carrels set up under tents in the open air, having only the electrical tabulating equipment set up inside. There was no need for mass mail-in balloting.

  13. NB, only about 8% of the population at large has an abiding problem which inhibits voting in person or renders it inadvisable for civic reasons. There is simply no good reason for use of postal ballots for convenience. (Another 6% or so have stepped on an airplane in the last week; not all of them will be unavailable to vote in person and there’s a limit to which people can fairly ask for accommodations derived from their work assignments, much less their discretionary travel schedule).

  14. Cornflour:

    It was working fine when I first posted it. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll see if I can find it in another form.

  15. I posted my opinion on securing voting several months ago. I don’t offhand know how to search the comments but there was a list including things like a national voter database. I do allow for electro-mechanical counting.

  16. huxley; cornflour; Barry Meislin; et al:

    I found the clip in a form that should pass master and stay available. I substituted the new clip for the old in the post.

  18. I could view the clip at 7:40 p.m. Excellent. In my county, we mark paper ballots, and feed the ballot into the tabulator ourselves. Tabulator totals go to the Board of Elections on a flash drive, no internet connection. The ballots are saved in case of recount or audit. The number of voters who checked in and got an authorization and were issued a ballot must equal the number of ballots which went into the tabulator. Election workers can’t go home until those numbers are equal!

    Electronic voting machines should be banned everywhere. In particular, these swing states have Republican legislatures; they should act to prevent this from ever happening again.

  19. Tom Grey, lovely clip about our beautiful country. Thanks. We had an Egyptian visitor recently, a man working here in the state. He said he’s been astonished by how friendly and kind Americans are.

  21. …not that long ago, suspicion of voting machine software was bipartisan.”

    Actually, not that long ago the belief that patriotism was a positive attribute was bipartisan….

    Here’s an article that gets down to the bottom of the current sickening scandal with which America somehow must come to grips:
    https://spectator.org/what-we-must-believe-to-believe-biden-won/
    H/T Blazingcatfur blog

    Key graf:
    “The Democrats dismiss any mention of the innumerable irregularities that tainted the general election as little more than crackpot conspiracy theories. This is a convenient way to avoid addressing serious questions raised by serious observers, but it will further undermine confidence in key institutions that form the foundation upon which the republic stands.”

    Alas, the author suffers from a serious misconception. The Democrats, if they succeed in their grandiose theft, will not care a whit whether confidence is undermined—or for that matter restored—“in key institutions that form the foundation upon which the republic stands”.

    So that such well-founded concern, albeit very much justified, is unfortunately a “non sequitur”

    We know this because in doing what they did to President Trump four years ago and to others who supported him, most prominently Michael Flynn and Carter Page, George Papadopolous and Roger Stone—as well as the abuses committed by the Obama administration during the eight years previous—the Democrats have amply demonstrated just how much they care about these “key institutions that form the foundation upon which the republic stands”.

    (They don’t. Though they will most certainly claim that they do very much are and that it’s the Deplorables Trumpists who are undermining and sabotaging the USA.)

    The country is at a crossroads—and the majority of voters, very much aware of this, voted for Donald Trump, accordingly.

  24. The only thing that took me by surprise is the realization that the GOP is in on it too. The WA SoS numbers bother me and since she approves the vote and voting software I think it warrants study by someone who knows more than me.

    The Republican SoS in Georgia, Mr. Raffensperger appears to be out to lunch as well. I fear the fix is in for the senate run-off elections.

  28. Nothing will change until Democrats start losing elections. Look at Florida 2000.

    Tommy Jay – no he is complicit. Trouble for him is that people are now aware. Fraud only works when it is concealed. And if you think this election is contentious wait until 2022 with a Democratic Federal Attorney General. Fraud out the wazoo as the corporatists consolidate their gains.

  29. Details on developments in Michigan:
    1.
    “The Wayne County canvassing board members who are refusing to certify the race for Biden due to apparent voting irregularities are being doxed and threatened by Antifa.”

    Details on developments in Georgia:
    “They have no clue what caused 2,700 votes favorable to disappear…[and]…don’t want to admit the possibility it’s the software because that would create a nationwide crisis.”

    + bonus:
    A thrilling article on Clarence Thomas

    H/T Ron Coleman twitter feed (all three).

    We are reaching the point—perhaps reached it already—where the Democratic / MSCM / Twitter-FB Cover-Up meisters will be going into overdrive—no doubt coupled with “logistical” support from their antifa/BLM auxiliary…

    …while calls, from ALL Democratic Party allies and confederates DEMANDING that Trump concede IMMEDIATELY (for “the good of the country” of course) will be ever more deafening…in a transparent effort to buttress the cover-up and in the hope that the Democrats will be able to avoid the catastrophe they so richly deserve.

    And if none of this blatant agitprop works the way they want it to?

    Well, then all bets are off….

    File under (once again): “How dare you deplorable Fascists resist OUR efforts to steal this election!”

  30. Also worth scrolling down Sidney Powell’s twitter feed a bit:
    https://twitter.com/SidneyPowell1

    One interesting little tidbit (if accurate, though it does seem to very much fit the bill):
    “CLINTON FOUNDATION HAS VESTED INTEREST IN DOMINION ELECTION MACHINES. THEY CALL IT DEMOCRACY THRU TECHNOLOGY!!”
    https://twitter.com/red_red_rita/status/1328820809704550405

    Here’s another (which you may already be aware of):

    Gosh, it sure sounds like a crazy TRUMPIST conspiracy theory to me!

    (But that’s precisely the point: EXACTLY like Obamagate was/is supposed to sound like a crazy TRUMPIST conspiracy theory…though THAT’s been BY FAR AND AWAY superseded by this latest Democratic Party outrage.)

  31. Continued…

    Quite clearly, “If it’s good enough for Venezuela it’s good enough for us….”

    Onward.

  34. And yes, Robert Barnes:

    One of the bigger issues of the moment is—or should be—the intimidation of law firms and lawyers representing and/or supporting the president as a prelude to general thuggery.

    IOW, the “harbinger of things to come” is already here:
    https://twitter.com/esqonfire/status/1328908996259045379

    Indeed, antifa/BLM does have its uses…and it is clear that the Democrats, having learned whatever they could from a concerted study of “1984”, spiced up with Stalinist norms (and mores), have decided—in their great wisdom—that the best model on which to base the “fundamental transformation” of the US is Weimar Germany.

    Alas, since utter destruction (of at least the fabric of society—along with any serious opposition), segueing into complete control is their aim, it would be difficult to disagree.

    But it still isn’t over…. Not yet.

  35. My 99-year-old neighbor voted on the first or second day of early voting. She couldn’t quite bring herself to go inside–she has been in an extremely disciplined self-imposed lockdown since March–but they came out to her car in the parking lot and let her vote on one of the machines meant for the handicapped.

    My 96-year-old aunt responds on social media to all reports of wrongdoing with “Someone should fact-check this [until it goes away].” Casual references to Gov. Cuomo’s bloody hands in the matter of forcing nursing homes to accept convalescing COVID patients without prior testing to ensure they are no longer contagious are dismissed with “I’m surprised you would believe that story, which is obviously propaganda.” She says she would rather live in New York, where the governor cares about her safety, than in Texas (San Antonio), where she believes her governor clearly does not.

  36. Barry, isn’t this script and war amusing and entertaining yet?

    Venezuela… of all places? California turning Red from ONN’s data on the server raid of Friday the 13th?

    What in Ymar’s name is all this stuff….

    Hehe.

    Soon enough people will demand I start talking about Flat Earth theory, just to make the pain go away.

  37. Tom Grey on November 17, 2020 at 4:48 pm said:

    Good proactive energy and vibes, keep it up.

    It’s a type of lower caliber fuel but very useful for the war effort.

    The war indeed is over, and Earth has won. But you won’t see that immediately, so you’ll have to pretend to the media that their propaganda is reality, until it is not.

  39. “…entertaining…”

    Well, perhaps, but not exactly the word I’d use….

    (Though yes, I can see how some might be amused.)

    At the end of the day, though, I sure hope you know what you’re doing.

    In the meantime, given the current challenge, us humans are going to have to dig deep. Real deep.
