Legislators from 39 states sign letter outlining possible reversal of ‘corrupted’ 2020 election
Nearly 200 state legislators have signed an open letter calling for “forensic audits” of the “corrupted 2020 election” and urging states to decertify electors “where it has been shown the elections were certified prematurely and inaccurately.”

When legislators from over half the country are concerned, that indicates there is a problem.

Nearly 200 state legislators have signed an open letter calling for “forensic audits” of the “corrupted 2020 election” and urging states to decertify electors “where it has been shown the elections were certified prematurely and inaccurately.”

The letter, signed by lawmakers from 39 states, was circulated Tuesday by Arizona State Sen. Wendy Rogers.

The letter is addressed to “the citizens of the United States of America” and claims “our representative republic suffered a corrupted 2020 election.”

There is   no evidence   that widespread voter fraud impacted the 2020 election results.

In the letter, however, the legislators ask that “all 50 states need to be forensically audited.”

“Voter rolls should be scrubbed with a canvass of the voters to ensure future integrity of our elections,” they wrote.

The legislators then said that they “call on each state to decertify its electors where it has been shown the elections were certified prematurely and inaccurately.”

If necessary, the legislators said, the U.S. House of Representatives should be prepared to “decide the rightful winner of the election.”

It should be recommended that the House abide by what their constituents want instead of what a particular party wants.

" Roughly one-third of Americans believe that  President Biden ’s 2020 electoral victory was the result of widespread voter fraud, according to a  new Monmouth University poll ."

So that means two-thirds, the clear majority of Americans, understand there was ZERO evidence of any fucking voter fraud. So yes the House should "abide" by what their constituents want, and the majority of American constituents are laughing in the face of the one-third of fucking idiots who believe there was voter fraud simply because they lost.

As the seed points out " There is no evidence   that widespread voter fraud impacted the 2020 election results."

What this seed doesn't mention is that there are 7,383 State legislators in the US. They make it sound as if "nearly 200" of them is a large number, but it's not even 3% of them.

So this small group of sad whiny losers who still gnash their teeth when they think about the tangerine Mussolini losing do not represent the majority of Americans. They should go run back to their hollars and hills and shut the fuck up, it's over, it's done, put a cork in it. Continuing this bullshit fantasy of there being some widespread voter fraud is just further evidence of their collective insanity.

I suppose there are those stupid enough to reject all facts to the contrary and stick with whatever Trump declares.    I think, however, that the majority of those pushing for these pointless recounts are simply dishonestly supporting Trump.   That is, they know the election was not rigged but continue to support the narrative out of an emotional drive to spite the 'other side' and they see Trump as their best weapon to do so.

It is like those on a social media forum who disagree with a particular person no matter what they write.   It is a futile act of defiance where one acts in a way that makes them look utterly stupid but they do not care because 'getting back' is more important.

That said, I still cannot wrap my head around those who continue to support Trump after he showed his abysmal character in his 'Big Lie' (and continues to do so).   What sort of mind would actually support such an extremely narcissistic liar for PotUS?    SMH

Wow, talk about a false equivalency. 

The RNC is a CORPORATION and regulated by little to no laws limiting the intake or dispersion of those funds. In short, they're a piggy bank with little to NO internal or external accountability. 

Conversely, the DOJ has a statutory MANDATE to conduct criminal and counterintelligence investigations which are regulated by LAW. The DOJ also has internal processes for accountability for their expenditures and actions in the form of an IG. The results of those investigations can also be used by Congress to cause 'external' accountability in the form of legislation to regulate their procedures. 

The Congress has Constitutional authority to conduct oversight to include investigations into events to enable the Congress to make cogent decisions on legislation that may be required to mitigate future abuses.

How about the states simply follow state laws and not allow anyone but the state legislature to make election rules? How about all 50 states absolutely maintain that only election officials run elections? How about requiring all votes, including mail-in-ballots be properly signed and revcieved by election day?  How about federal law prohibiting ballot harvesting and another law prohibiting what Elias & Zuckerberg did in 2020?

All the states had to do was follow their own laws.

And they changed them in a lot of cases to allow for early voting, by mail and in person, mail in voting as a norm rather than an exception, allowing votes to be admissable after the normal deadline of a certain hour on election day and I am sure some other things I may have forgotten over the last year.

Why did they set up parade gates in PA? Poll watchers couldn't tell what was happening. Zuckerberg sent millions to help set up satellite voting offices. Poll watchers were not allowed to enter those sites. The Trump campaign sued and Judge Gary Glazer of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas ruled that satellite offices didn't qualify as polling places and that state law "contains no provision that expressly grants the campaign and it's representatives a right to serve as watchers at satellite offices of the Board of Elections."

Oh and just stop the bullshit about Zuckerberg. There's plenty to criticize him about but his donation to The Center for Tech and Civic Life isn't one of them.

Here's an article about their work:

How Mark Zuckerberg's Millions Made Election 2020 Go Smoothly : NPR

Poll watchers were not allowed to enter those sites. The Trump campaign sued and Judge Gary Glazer of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas ruled that satellite offices didn't qualify as polling places and that state law "contains no provision that expressly grants the campaign and it's representatives a right to serve as watchers at satellite offices of the Board of Elections."

First of all, WTF are you quoting and where is the link Vic? 

Secondly, doesn't the FACT that there WERE court rulings on Trump's lawsuit PROVE that it WAS 'looked at'? 

There were NO 'satellite offices of the Board of Electors' either. The mail-in ballots were distributed to registered voters AT the offices of the Board of Electors and voters could fill out their ballots and submit them to the Board of Election office.

NOTHING nefarious. In FACT, the PA legislature changed Election law in 2019 [Act 77] mandating the procedure.

I thought you and yours were all about STATES running elections...

And you and yours were all about changing election rules and election officials before the 2020 election.


I've already debunked your Zuckerberg BS Vic.

How so? I say he privatized elections in key states.


As for Elias, winning 64-1 against Trump in court isn't something the Congress should be legislating against. 

Elias has operated on a level well beyond that of his Republican counterparts, particularly when it comes to dirty tricks that have undermined confidence in American elections. Most notable was his involvement in Al Franken's legal challenges in the 2008 election recount. It had a major impact on congress, giving Obama a super majority and enabling the passing of Obamacare. In 2020 there is no question that Elias played a key role in radically altering election rules and procedures in ways that benefited democrats. Using covid as an excuse, he publically announced a massive push to dramatically expand no-excuse mail-in balloting.

His demands were:

1) Postage must be free or prepaid by the government.

2) Ballots that arrived well after election day must be counted.

3) Scrutiny of signatures to determine if ballots are legitimate must decline.

4) Ballot harvesting, which allows third parties and outside groups to collect voters' ballots and deliver them to polling places, must be legalized and expanded.

In large part, because of covid many states, through various means, caved in to Elias' wishes. It was just a part of the major changes that took place in voting in 2020. The introduction of mass mail-in voting was a game-changer. It brought with it a slew of confounding factors. The mail-in voting absolutely was a factor in the high vote count. Voters sending in their ballots by mail consist of new voters who had sat out the last time due to apathy or indecisiveness, they may be a population more easily swayed by external influences. Then there is the well known dirty deed of ballot harvesting. In 2005 the Carter-Baker Report recognized that mass mail-in voting can facilitate outright fraudulent voting or vote counting. There were many suspicious incidents that comprised the 2020 election. Marc Elias was the straw that stirred the drink.

You're obviously confusing your voter fraud conspiracies Vic. 

First of all, Stacey Abrams AND her sister are from GEORGIA.

Secondly your PA voter bullshit was about fantasy 'satellite offices', NOT voters who moved. 

Perhaps you should write up a story outline to help organize your conspiracy theories. 

Elias has operated on a level well beyond that of his Republican counterparts,

Yes, Elias HAS kicked his Republican counterparts ass in courtrooms all over the country. 

particularly when it comes to dirty tricks that have undermined confidence in American elections.

AGAIN, Elias is 64-1 in the COURTS Vic. If you have an issue with that, shouldn't you be bitching about the judiciary instead? 

It had a major impact on congress, giving Obama a super majority and enabling the passing of Obamacare.

First of all, Obama had a 'super majority' for a very short time and on paper ONLY because Byrd was hospitalized. 

Secondly, Obamacare passed under Reconciliation so they only needed 51 votes. 

That's a whole lot of FAIL in one sentence.

Are you telling me the FBI didn't do their job?   After the "outstanding job" they did running surveillance on a presidential candidate. 

It is laughable that you expect the group that cried "Russia Collusion" for four years to conduct an in-depth investigation?

Well isn't that what the House is doing now with Jan 6th for those gullible rubes. The FBI has cleared Trump from any "plot" to attack the Capitol or overturn the election.

You're off topic and deflecting.

Back to the topic of the article - Were any one of these people to present any legal evidence they could force an audit, so in the absence of such I can only conclude they are full of shit. They are either too stupid to understand how government and the law works OR they are playing to the bias of the Trumpublican Populist base of deplorables. Just like Lindell's supposed Supreme Court filing he was going to do this week with "multiple states attorneys generals". It's not only stupid it's stupid on purpose.

The Senate cleared him also...

The fact is a clear majority of the Senate voted to impeach Trump the second time around. 57 out of 100 voted GUILTY. They simply fell 3 votes short of a 60 vote super-majority.

So he was found guilty by the majority of the House and found guilty by a majority of the Senate. The only reason that he wasn't formally removed and prevented from holding future office was because of 43 partisan Republican Senators who knew their futures rested on their not pissing off their rabidly insane right wing conservative constituents who all have their heads firmly stuffed up the dirty Donald's backside.

Accusation Article II – obstruction of justice
Votes in favor 50 "guilty"
Votes against 50 "not guilty"

Dishonest Donald had more guilty votes in the Senate for his impeachment than Bill Clinton. This re-writing or forgetting of history by right wing conservative dipshits is quite telling. They don't give a fuck about truth, they push their own warped version of reality because it 'feels' right to them, not because it contains any facts.

The right wing now reside in a completely different reality than the rest of the planet, where up is down, Clinton was impeached but Trump wasn't, where there's widespread voter fraud everywhere even though there's zero evidence of it, where Trump won the election even though he lost by every measure, where Trumps Afghanistan withdrawal agreement is all Biden's fault and where a thrice married serial adulterer, accused sexual predator and known liar is their new Messiah. You really can't invent a more twisted, wicked, insane reality yet here we are with nearly half the country deeply invested in the lies, deceit, hate and discrimination of right wing religious conservatism.

Wow. The Senate cannot acquit Trump of an impeachment

Wow is right.  Spreading ignorant information as above is what is wrong with our nation today.  I will explain the process to you as simple as possible so you have a better understanding of how government works.  

Impeachment - Wikipedia

Impeachment  is the process by which a  legislative body  or other legally constituted tribunal initiates charges against a  public official  for misconduct. [1] [2]  It may be understood as a unique process involving both  political  and  legal  elements. [3] [4] [5]

In the federal system, the  Article One of the United States Constitution  provides that the  House of Representatives  has the "sole Power of Impeachment" and the Senate has "the sole Power to try all Impeachments." [54

The four impeachments of presidents were:  Andrew Johnson in 1868 Bill Clinton in 1998 , and  Donald Trump  twice:  first in 2019 , and  a second time in 2021 . [62]   All four impeachments were followed by acquittal in the Senate. [61]

Do you see the word “acquittal” in the above explanation from Wikipedia.  Now reread your false statement above that states “The Senate cannot acquit Trump of an impeachment”.   Can you understand the process now?

I suggest you do some reading on the subject.  You can start with the link I provided for you.

he was/is/always will be, impeached ( twice ) by the House. 

No one said any different.  Because you don’t understand how the whole process works you may be confused that someone did.

Can you?  Trump was impeached twice, period.  You cannot change that, the Senate cannot change that, Trump will go down in history as being impeached twice.  The acquittal (since you insist on that verbiage), was only on the dismissal phase, it does not speak to the fact that he was already impeached.

No one said any different.

Yet you keep trying to argue about it.

I dislike this attempt to re-hash the 2020 elections.  It's over and done with, it's way past time to move on and look to the future.  Concentrate on the 2022 and 2024 elections.  

Yes there were issues with the 2020 elections where state officials rather than the legislative bodies changed the rules and processes, citing the Covid pandemic as the reason why it was done. The state legislators should be the one groups that can change the election process, it's way past time for them to take control. Where rules were changed due to "covid", review those changes and if it was a good change validate it under law. If it was not a good change then reverse the rule and hold the official who made the change accountable.

But stop trying to change the past.  As my father used to say  'you cannot hope for a better past, all you can do is work for a better future'.

yeah, I'm not gonna agree with you on this myself.  I might feel differently if we had a federal election but we don't. All the elections are really just at the state and/or local levels.  At the state level it includes who the citizens of the state want to represent them in Congress.  As for the presidential election, we don't have a federal election there either, it's a state election to determine who will represent the state in the Electoral College.

And lets not forget that the US Constitution leaves the power of elections to the states, allowing for Congress by law to make changes.  So what changes do you want to see done?  From  your reply I suspect you are talking about doing away with the Electoral Collage and allowing one vote per person for the President but before I reply I would like confirmation on exactly what changes you are looking for.

Snuffy
Professor Participates
5.2.7  Snuffy  replied to  Ender @5.2.6    3 years ago

Having a list would help aid in discussion.  I do like early voting days but we have to allow for the expense to the states for the additional costs. Same with when the polls open and close.  For the polls myself, I would like to see election day moved from the first Tuesday in November to a weekend with polls open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  That would better allow for people who have a hard time getting off from work to be able to vote.  Hours the polls are open?  I've lived so many years here in Arizona I just take for granted the 6am to 6pm window, so long as you are in line to vote before 6pm you can vote.

I like how mail-in ballots are handled in Arizona. I don't like where some states just tried to blast out mail-in ballots in the 2020 elections without having a system set up to manage it.  In Arizona you have to provide your identification to set it up but I've been voting by mail for many cycles now. But again the state needs to set up a system to manage it and to verify the vote.  If they can do it great. Not all states want to do this however.

But making a list allows for discussion. Not all discussion will lead to agreement, that's to be expected. But without discussion all we really have is that old beer commercial          " Tastes Great / Less Filling ".  Personally I think we have too much of that shouting on this board already.

5.2.8  Ender  replied to  Snuffy @5.2.7    3 years ago

I think there is several things we could agree on.

As we have seen, states can change their laws on a whim.

When I say a national standard, I guess I mean more of a minimum standard. Sort of a guideline of things states must or need to have in place.

 
 
 
Snuffy
Professor Participates
5.2.9  Snuffy  replied to  Ender @5.2.8    3 years ago

Having an actual list makes this so much easier.  When I see the phrase minimum standard, I have to wonder how we all would agree on what is the minimum.  Some might say we already have the minimum,  voting is a constitutional right and you must be 18+ yo and a citizen in order to vote.  States can restrict constitutional rights, we see that in all of them and in the case of voting a felon in most states cannot vote.  

So the question comes down to, what changes should be made?  As we will be relying on the federal government to make any of these changes I don't expect anything to change any time soon.  

For myself, I would like to see early voting (thinking 10 days) to help those who have difficulty getting away from work in order to vote.  I would like to see all states set up a system to allow for mail-in ballots, the system would need to be secure and have a process for verification of the ballots.  I would like to see election day moved to a three-day weekend, to also help those who have difficulty in getting away from work to vote. I would like states to do a better job at validating the voting roles and removing invalid / moved away / dead citizens who still remain on the voting rolls.  I would like all states to allow anybody to vote at any polling station,  if it is not your assigned polling station they may not have the proper documentation for verification so you would submit a provisional ballot, but your ballot should be taken.  (I will admit, I do not know if all states allow for this now or not)

What changes would you like to see?  Admitting that if we wait on Congress to make any changes it won't happen in our lifetimes and I'm also ok with that.

I think a national data base for voting rolls. If states want a voting card or id, have a national voting card given out when people turn 18. Sort of like registering for the draft, one registers to vote when of age.

Have a way where states could look at a national data base and see where one resides or if they vote in another state.

I wouldn't mind a standard for mail in votes for all states.

Just keep in mind that less than 3% of all State legislators signed on to this letter so this clearly does not represent the State legislators in America. I believe most don't see the need to change much considering there simply was zero evidence of any widespread voter fraud. Were there some process changes made due to a global pandemic? Yes. Did any of the changes cause or encourage any widespread voter fraud? No, of course not.

I agree with you that "it's over and done with". All these right wing conservative fools still claiming voter fraud are doing is showing everyone how utterly out of touch with reality they are.

Trump fanatics will NEVER, NEVER accept any audit that doesn't result in Trump winning. If another audit is done and results are Biden rightfully won, Trump fanatics will whine about deep state, leftist corruption, whatever makes them feel good. Again, Trump fanatics will NEVER accept any audit results unless it results in Trump winning, so it is a waste of time and money to perform yet another audit because the results will be the same, Biden won.

When legislators from over half the country are concerned, that indicates there is a problem.

Yes, the problem is the GOP following Trump.   This is the most remarkable failure of the GOP I have witnessed in my life.   The wholesale selling out of integrity to support a known liar whose lies about the election lack the persuasive facts that normally are necessary to convince people of a claim.   Especially when the claim is so outrageous.

There is   no evidence   that widespread voter fraud impacted the 2020 election results.

The states have already done their due diligence.   The election process was completed last year.    All results certified by the SoS and counted by Congress.    In addition myriad recounts were taken and delivered nothing.

It is beyond stupid to believe Trump's claims.   They are claims with no supporting evidence spewed by a known liar who cannot stand the fact that he lost an election.   It just amazes me that anyone on the planet actually believes this crap.

No amount of recounts will end this idiocy by Trump sycophants.   At this point the nation should tell them to collectively STFU and find a leader of the GOP who is at least a halfway decent human being.
