GOODER AND HARDER, GEORGIA:

YOU AND I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH SCARCITY:

 

HERE’S THE THING: A COUNTRY WHOSE POWER POSITIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ELECTED THAT HAS ELECTIONS WITH MASSIVE POSSIBILITY OF FRAUD IS IN DANGER:  Whole Lotta Cheatin’ Goin’ On.

They can scream themselves blue in the face about super-secure elections and how the cheating is not enough to flip it. Isn’t it? We have no reasonable way to audit, and every we doubt or ask questions we get shouted down.

I never game a d*mn for the reputation of Caesar’s wife, but I know system like ours, elections have to be above reproach. Because otherwise, we’re all tap dancing on a powder keg over the abyss.

We don’t have to prove it. They have to prove it. The left, which has opposed every attempt at cleaning up elections (aided by a few stinkers on the right) needs to wake up right quick. Because the ballot box is in serious doubt. And we don’t — really we don’t — want to open the next box.

IS IT TRUE? DON’T KNOW. PERSONAL STUFF GOING ON. HAVEN’T LOOKED AT NUMBERS, BUT: For every 1,000 Trump points, 850 stayed Republican. 150 landed on the Democratic side. Everywhere.

There’s other weirdness in the numbers, but these a friend noticed day after the elections. A 15% flip, everywhere he looked.

Also, I echoed this on twitter and got someone claiming to work in intel quoting a conference started by someone affiliated with Mother Jones at me and snarling that I should prove it and calling me names. You know…. Sometimes one wonders.

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.
