Officials in Colorado believe ballots for the upcoming presidential election were “intercepted,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced on Thursday.
The alleged voter fraud reportedly occurred in Mesa County.
Griswold, a Democrat, said she believes about a dozen voters within Mesa County had their ballots intercepted and filled out without their knowledge. The alleged criminals then mailed the fraudulent ballots to the clerk’s office using U.S. Postal Service boxes.
I can’t help but note it’s just so convenient for their final poll to be a tie. That means if the MoE is 3%, they’re almost guaranteed to be correct, though I wouldn’t be surprised if Kamala won by 5%+.
The NYT article linked in the MM is one of the reasons I still keep a subscription (well, that and the cultural and foodie coverage). It’s a long read but worth it.
The good news is that this is being reported on, with many eyes on the potential shenanigans. It’s what keeps me from being too anxious or depressed about it. Free gifted link:
My conspiracy theory: The MSM, by making polling look close up to the election provides ample evidence for Trump to claim the election is in doubt. This provides ongoing news headlines i.e. revenue, through, at least, inauguration day.
After all the (hopefully non-radioactive) dust settles in a few decades, I hope somebody is finally able to tell us how it went from anathema to completely acceptable for an American politician to do an open Hitler. I’ll never understand it, whether he wins, loses, or coups it up again.
What was it the brilliant Nancy Pelosi said about Trump? Was it “with you, all roads lead to Putin”? Applies to many other top Republicans and billionaire plutocrats as well.
The problem that will always be faced when dealing with fascists is not devolving into the same rhetorical devices and eliminationist rhetoric they engage in. We can’t really call them garbage or trash without demonstrating exactly the same behavior we find reprehensible from them.
Trump has promised repeatedly and in myriad ways to weaponize the Justice Department against anyone who opposes him, revoke its independence, and use the powers of the presidency recently enhanced by the Supreme Court to protect himself from criminal prosecution and accountability to the rule of law.
It sure would be easier if the Country’s most knarly, nasty, and feckless judge, Aileen Cannon, would be his choice for Attorney General. Does DonOld know that she is a half-Hispanic Immigrant to America? Never mind… he doesn’t, and he really doesn’t care, either. He’s just constantly mouthing off, about everything. It’s all he’s got.
The other reading is that they feel that their preferred party will on occasion take a position which is really bad for the country but most of the time they can trust them.
