Discussion: Bipartisan Rage At FBI For Hiding Details Of Russia Cyberattack On FL Elections

Why, whatever do you mean? (Blinks eyes innocently.)

I’ve seen // used in some places. I eschew (Gesundheit?) its use, myself.

“That rationale is ludicrous,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said. “The victims in these cases are not government office holders. The victims are voters. And the victim truly is the integrity we have to have and the trust we have to have in the American election system.”

What is this SOB complaining about, without Russian intrusions his hero Trump would not be in office, and he himself would likely be in jail by now.

Republican dust suckers are up in arms that only TWO counties were hacked. They put out the red carpet for the GRU and all they can do is hack two counties. If you can’t get your monies worth from the Russians then the Republicans are in worse shape than I thought.

Tough to know where voter-suppression ends and “active measures” begin, but Ari Berman wrote a series on all the roadblocks the WI government threw up to prevent the darkies (and other Dem constituencies) from voting. I believe PA and MI did similar things, and FL is trying to overturn the will of the people re: allowing ex-felons to vote.

Anti-American mofos, all of them.

The GRU changed vote counts in Florida in favor of Trump. Its proven! The Feds are well aware of this. That’s why the GRU hacked election systems in Florida and other key swing states. They targeted specific counties based on polling data Manafort gave to Killminik who passed it on to GRU. The FBI wont hand over this information because POTUS doesn’t want the people to know he stole the election.

Is this how the Alt-Right starts their conspiracies? Can we start one of our own?

I guess the problem is that the alt-right conspiracies have little, if any, basis in reality, whereas the things we’re screaming about have been pretty much shown to be reality

Yah Why ? Inquiring minds want to know…
Oh yeah

Senator Bill Nelson, accepted defeat once a manual recount showed him still trailing, by 10,033 votes out of more than 8.1 million cast. .21%

Democrat Andrew Gillum trailed Republican Ron DeSantis by 33,683 votes, a net gain of 1 vote for Gillum from the unofficial results reported last week. The margin was 0.41 percent out of more than 8 million votes cast,

The fix was in
Professional Ratfucking

If you needed any other proof of portions of the FBI being Kompromat by the Russians (I’m looking at YOU NYC FBI office) this is it.
At the very least they “looked the other way” since it was helping their preferred candidate.

I’ll bet $20 that the counties were: Miami-Dade and Broward.

They were more likely motivated by their Hillary-hate, with some help from Ghouliani, than by Russia. Now, whether Ghouliani was/is compromised by Russia is an open issue.

Nah. The NYC FBI office has been rumored to be Kompromat since Rudy’s days as Mayor.

There is no way the two counties went for the Democratic candidates in their respective races, because if they had the public would already know which counties were targeted. The GOP would be saying “see, in the counties where interference occurred the interference did not help the winner win, therefore the interference had no impact on the outcome.”

Heck yeah it was Broward.

This is our government. Not Bill Barr’s.

We have a right to know when, where, and how we were attacked. Take your deficient “sources and methods” and toss them in the trash.

I think the House can spare a little time from subpeoaning the White House to subpeoaning the FBI. The voters of the affected counties need to know that their votes may have been compromised.

I believe that it’s highly possible this was a backup plan for the Russians/Trump that if he lost florida and he contested this would have suddenly came out and Trump would have used it to invalidate Hillary’s Florida win.

Two words: Paper ballots.

(But then Republican’ts will be unable to hack and manipulate hackable, unsecured electronic voting machines, so that’ll never happen. And the whole mentioning Russia thing has had the intended effect for sure! Republican’ts, who have a decades-long track record of election fraud, are completely escaping any culpability while Liberals spend their time making Putin jokes. Suckers!)

I disagree. Have precinct voting and do it like we used to–close the doors when the polls close and count the ballots right there with both parties in the room and then send the results, along with the paper ballots to the county. It’s slow but it worked for more than two centuries.
