We have a lot of material to cover today so let's get on with it.
This was the top of Wendy Bell's BS board yesterday:
The funny thing is that Wendy gets this close getting it right about the Trump plan. If only she'd replaced the word "fraud" with "security" she'd be absolutely 100% correct.
I can't believe I still have to write this but the "false narrative" here is that the election was anything but free and
fair.
Who says so?
The Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council Executive Committee for starters. They released a statement on November 12, 2020 (when Trump was still legally occupying the Oval Office. This was a committee in his administration) that started with:
The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.
The statement goes on to say how, at that point, each states' election officials are "reviewing and double checking the entire process prior to finalizing the result."
Down the page a bit they say:
There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised. [Bolding in original.]
This was Trump's own Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
Then there was this from Trump's own Attorney General, William Barr a few days later on December 1, 2020:
Disputing President Donald Trump’s persistent, baseless claims, Attorney General William Barr declared Tuesday the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.
Barr’s comments, in an interview with the The Associated Press, contradict the concerted effort by Trump, his boss, to subvert the results of last month’s voting and block President-elect Joe Biden from taking his place in the White House.
Barr told the AP that U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
In another interview he said:
“My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time,” Barr told me. “If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bullshit.”
From that same Atlantic article, there was this:
Barr also looked into allegations that voting machines across the country were rigged to switch Trump votes to Biden votes. He received two briefings from cybersecurity experts at the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. “We realized from the beginning it was just bullshit,” Barr told me, noting that even if the machines somehow changed the count, it would show up when they were recounted by hand. “It’s a counting machine, and they save everything that was counted. So you just reconcile the two. There had been no discrepancy reported anywhere, and I’m still not aware of any discrepancy.”
Again, this was Trump's own Attorney General.
Then there were
the court cases. For example this one in Pennsylvania. Judge Matthew Brann (an Obama-appointed Federalist
Society type of Republican) wrote in Donald Trump for President v Kathy Brockvar:
In other words, Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters. This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated. One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens.
That has not happened.
No compelling legal arguments and (more importantly for this blog post) no factual proof of rampant corruption.
Then there's this from The NYTimes. (Published November 10, 2020):
The New York Times contacted the offices of the top election officials in every state [between 11/9 and 11/10] to ask whether they suspected or had evidence of illegal voting. Officials in 45 states responded directly to The Times. For four of the remaining states, The Times spoke to other statewide officials or found public comments from secretaries of state; none reported any major voting issues.
Statewide officials in Texas did not respond to repeated inquiries. But a spokeswoman for the top elections official in Harris County, the largest county in Texas with a population greater than many states, said that there were only a few minor issues and that “we had a very seamless election.”
There's much more evidence like this, Wendy. I've laid out evidence from Trump's own IC, his own AG, and a GOP Judge.
Where's your evidence of "obvious voter fraud" Wendy?
There isn't any.
You got bupkes. You know that, right?
Here, let me fix your BS for you:
There. That's better.
That is the plan, Wendy. Isn't it?
