Worse than simply counting a spoiled ballot. If it counted, it clearly should have been counted for her, not the Republican. Look at how the idiot voted in the governor’s race and compare it to the Delegates race.
Theft, corruption, subversion, collusion with hostile foreign powers, dirty tricks. It’s all they got left.
Meanwhile, Mark Warner was on the floor of the Senate warning about the possibility of Trump firing Mueller. during the break (first Sessions and Rosenstein)…
Ballots will be recounted Thursday in the Fredericksburg area’s 28th District. The Republican candidate there leads by 82 votes. But Democrats already have asked a judge to call for a new election after at least 147 ballots were found to be assigned to the wrong districts.
There’d better be a new fucking election. And I would love to see some Virginians on the streets about this, although that seems a bit incongruous. Because I’ll bet that the judges were swayed, as they always are, by the prospect of Republican wrath. We have to make our own noise now. We can’t have a situation where we’re fucked by gerrymanders, voter suppression, election rigging AND judicial sabotage.
A three-judge panel certified the 94th District in Newport News as tied
I’d like to know the political affiliation of these judges. No reason to accept the legitimacy of this decision if we’re concerned with a GOP majority. GOP officialdom has forfeited any presumption of good faith at this point.
Not true, unfortunately. They also have the old overseas war up their sleeve. Expect an October surprise on that front. I remember talking to a Dem political strategist who quite coolly and accurately predicted the timetable on Iraq II months before it went down.
And exactly how would that affect the election in November? Besides send literally every single voter to the polls to vote them out for certain sure/
Americans are sick of war and where would they get the military? They are all deployed now.
I don’t let dark fantasies into my mental landscape - it isn’t healthy. Americans do not trust this president and if he starts a war it will come right down on his head.
I hope you’re right. But in any case it’s best to be prepared, i.e., take ownership of the narrative of the opportunistic war now, rather than find ourselves reacting yet again to the Republican agenda, with a bunch of Democratic electeds humming and hawing.
“He says the voter had chosen Republican candidates in every other race.”
This is totally false. The voter voted for Howard Gwynn, Gabe Morgan and Marty Eubank, all of whom are Democrats. S/he voted for Donald Woodruff as well who is an independent.
How do I know this? I looked it up on google–but the useless AP article just reports this as a “he says” claim, as if there is no way of verifying it. Disgraceful. And more disgraceful if the Democrats let the Republicans get away with this obvious attempt to steal the seat.
“Worse than simply counting a spoiled ballot. If it counted, it clearly should have been counted for her, not the Republican. Look at how the idiot voted in the governor’s race and compare it to the Delegates race.”
Correct. If we are to start attempting to interpret a spoiled ballot, we have to go by the voter’s own rules. And if a filled-in bubble with a slash counts as a vote for the Republican for governor, then the same mark must count for the Democrat for the House. But they got a three judge panel to rule that this was a vote for Yancey??
