LOL. I'm not talking about fraud allegations when I mentioned being disingenuous.

Now, as far as the fraud allegations, you have a lot of catching up to do.

Like I said, looks like we're going to have to play the long game to uncover any potential fraud (unfortunately).

There are no legit fraud allegations. There are only vague affidavits, none of which actually contain evidence of fraud.

These are all little more than desperate hail marys by a losing candidate.

Somebody had to say it. Disingenuous doesn't even do it justice. I had to snicker when I saw the first thread on it in here (even though I know JB was genuine about it).

Now the Dems are wanting to shake hands? Riiiiiight, LOL. You guys created the rules during the last cycle. Now you have to play by them. It's akin to getting punched in the mouth, not punching back, then the guy asking to shake your hand. :)

MAYBE we can shake hands in 24, but from the looks of what's going on right now with legit fraud allegations, we could be in some real ****. 

I'm a "hope cooler heads prevail guy" (I have two grandkids), but turning your cheek doesn't apply in some situations. That's what we're faced with now. If you're so inclined, you might want to hit your knees & pray. We're at a significant crossroads right now.

The only problem here is Trump and his supporters were not just innocent victims...this notion that they were all just punched and not instigators in as much of the fighting as the left is just flat out dishonest.

I don't think anyone else is pretending that the Democrats are all just innocent in the fighting that happened...the point still is that both sides are culpable in the toxic atmosphere we have today...and that reaching out to compromise...reaching out to do better...reaching out for healing is a good thing.  Its what should be done.  And the digging in of the heals and saying heck no, you all suck is not helpful at all and is why we will be stuck in a toxic mess until people can set aside the crap and start to move forward.

Then provide actual examples rather than this vague thing...I mean actual examples.  

Id ask you to look beyond your feelings towards Trump and understand what voter fraud really is to make such a claim.

Thus far...not really any smoke or fire that I have seen from any legitimate source.

Then you can't be looking very hard. I'm not going to do the work for you. Then again, if you discredit everything automatically, there'll never be any legit fraud for you, will there? You'll always have a problem with it even if there's obvious fraud found.

Again, I'm assuming all the evidence will be presented in time (whatever it is).

I know you guys are wanting this to be over, but we have to vette this election.

The Trump lawyer was promoting a false narrative that had already been debunked: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/11/04/fact-check-typo-led-false-post-michigan-votes-biden/6164385002/

The sad thing is that Trump supporters are still promoting the fake news a week later.

But this isn't really a case of slander or libel because the lawyer can just point to Twitter and say "I saw it there" and he's off the hook.

Like I was saying, there's at least 67-68-70M that voted for him? I don't know the total number, a good deal less than Biden got but % wise almost 1 in 2 Americans who voted for President pressed the Trump lever. It's not like it's just a couple million people and you can just exterminate them like cockroaches, that can't be the plan. 

You can't just turn your back on these folks and expect things to go smooth. Biden already acknowledged it in his acceptance speech.

I suppose that's a possibility, but they are too numerous & too severe to ignore.

You know what they say about smoke & fire.

Come on, guys. This has to be vetted. We have no other choice.

The problem is that the only "facts" submitted so far have been emotionally-based statements which have not held up in court. Republicans are slowly destroying their reputation for being followers of facts and laws.

Do you have any evidence that suggest there wasn’t fraud? 
 

Why must we, a bunch of commoners on a message board, not actual lawyers who are privy to this stuff have evidence but you don’t need anything but the good word of liberal news?   
 

That’s what the lawyers are doing folks. They are looking for fraud and you guys are just saying there isn’t any. 
 

We are going to find out. One of us is acting defensive and projecting.

The only smoke is from phony fires started by Trump and his supporters. These phony fires have been completely doused by the courts.

I agree that it's too numerous, though. The complaints and the nuisance lawsuits should have stopped after the first 3 or 4 cases were dismissed. It's really getting embarrassing for the Republican party and they are in danger of destroying their reputation for integrity.

You have been asked to provide such instances or evidence...once again, you provide nothing.  Just that others need to look harder.  That is a copout at best.

I was an auditor for almost 15 years(including multiple fraud investigations during that time)...I do contract work now in forensic/fraud auditing.  Yes...there can be legit fraud to me...I know quite well what fraud looks like...and what evidence of fraud looks like.

You claim there is smoke and fire...then post it.  Bring it to our attention rather than vague claims that its out there.

It is over...the election was vetted as it was ongoing...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/voting-fraud.html

The claims right now appear to be wishful thinking of those who are upset that Trump lost.

And on that note, I can see Florida is taking aggressive action by the Governor here to legally allow those with arms to actively participate in the taking of lives when looting and rioting break out.(I'm not kidding) I was stunned to hear that folks in communities can come out armed and start playing Duck Hunt when looting and riots break out which BTW, what is the definition of looting and rioting or is it like pornography where you know it when you see it? 

I live here in Florida, support citizens protecting their homes and personal property but this is a whole different ball of wax IMHO.

What are you talking about? When I said "Trump supporters are still promoting fake news," I was talking about the Trump supporters on Fox News and in this forum. Not the 70 million who voted for him.

But, anyway, I have no idea how to convince people that they are falling for and promoting fake news. Seems like it would be a pretty tough task if there are 70 million of them.

Yes...and this is still laughable for you all to want evidence to prove a negative without being willing to provide anything legitimate to support any claims of fraud.

I would say why must you?  Because you are the ones making claims that there are smoke and fire...that there are obvious instances and evidence of fraud.  And its been established by the moderators of this board that if you are going to make claims and assertions of fact...taht you provide credible links to show as much rather than just making accusations without any support.

Those opposing those claims have pointed to the numerous court cases and articles like this one I am linking to.

The point is...they are "looking for fraud"...because their guy lost the election.  Not because there is actually legitimate claims of any massive rampant fraud that would have affected even the narrowest margin in this election.

Projecting?  Hah!!!

There was a vid in this very thread about a bunch of affidavits detailing various shananigans. And lots of other stuff, too (look around). 

Plus, it looks bad for you guys to try to sweep it under the rug. Just go with it. We all need to know if there was fraud involved & on what scale.

I'm not saying you are using emotions - you are using lies and not facts - whether you are doing it intentionally or not I have no clue and honestly don't care.  I will just keep pointing out that what your are saying is not reality.  I'm not burning anything down - I'm 100% convinced Biden won legitimately and will be the next President.

 
so from what I can tell, the best evidence of fraud is a single, often disciplined, post-office employee signed a non-legally binding affidavit that he heard someone say that ballots in the mail were post-dated.  When questioned by authorities, he recanted.  Afterwards, he recanted his recant.  We also have the sexual predator New Jersey GOP former candidate that claimed he was a poll watcher in Philly.

Is that the best we have right now?

No, there are several more allegations and affidavits out there. I imagine that number will continue to increase for a while.

Here's an example. I don't know if this has actually been submitted to a court.

All I’ve seen is the media declare Biden and say that Trump is just talking baseless claims and he’s a troll for questioning the hearts and minds of random people. He should just concede and he’s an awful person for messing with the sanctity of the transition of power. Lol more hyperbole based on visceral emotions. 
 

All I’m seeing from the Republicans is them saying the mail in ballets are of concern, upwards of 500k ballet weren’t reviewed properly. 

I don’t know if any of it is true, untrue, frivolous or not- but I’m willing to wait to find out. I don’t think it will change the election but I can’t say for sure. 
 

I don’t think it’s right for people to raise their nose at the system just because it serves the outcome they want. Im interested in what’s right, that’s it.

This is what he does.  He bandied for weeks about fraud being the only way he could lose and *EGADS* here he is throwing accusations, fabric of our democracy be damned.  He called his shot and here you have sycophants tripping all over themselves trying to find something, anything(!) to please dear leader.  Here he was in 2016 when he lost Iowa to Ted Cruz in the primary.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Feb 3, 2016

Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.

Just stop it.  Quit acting like its some innocent "just asking questions".  At least call it what it is: A) fundraising effort for Team Trump, Inc. B) cowardly last fealty to the guy they're worried will still be calling the shots in the GOP in 2021.  Its truly embarassing.

"All the republicans are asking for is to make sure all the votes are legal and there’s no shenanigans. Once again, the dems want to skirt the law and procedure and just claim the bad orange man that hurts your feelings should just bow down cause that’s what everyone you know says. "

That's your quote and that is not true.

There was over 200 affidavits. Some detailing massive signature fraud & multiple same-ballot runs.

Sidney Powell uncovered some nasty allegations, as well. The list goes on & on.

This is going to happen whether you like it or not. This is the USA & still the land of the free.

We, the people, run the show.

I think so too.  It's impossible to have an election of this magnitude and not have some shenanigans somewhere.  IMO things happen on both sides and they tend to cancel each other out and/or be insignificant WRT the overall vote total.

You seem slightly upset. Emotional even. Maybe take a break. 
 

Oh, and here in America, at least for now, we call them Presidents, not “leader”.

It comes and goes. Best advice is to use the ignore feature and to try not to engage those who are making obviously untenable arguments. It's also advisable to not describe them as "trolling" or "disingenuous" or "bad faith" because it's impossible to know if they truly believe in the arguments they are promoting.

For the record, this his where I think it likely lands....There was some voter fraud but not enough to change the result. 

Good luck folks. We aren’t going to agree today. I honestly wish you all the best and the next beer is on me.

No you don’t. You want your guy to be given a win he didn’t earn so you and others are taking any desperate route necessary, including but not limited to, crapping all over democracy in order to make it look like trump didn’t take a huge loss. 
 

But he did, and he’ll be gone in 70 days. No amount of message board bluster and crying will stop that.
