Donald Trump has claimed 5,000 dead people voted in 2020 in Georgia, a state he lost to Joe Biden on his way to national defeat.
He was off by 4,996.

As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Monday, state officials have confirmed four cases of dead people voting.

All involved family members submitting votes for the deceased, cases in which the state has the power to levy fines.

TEXAS​

Votes

• Trump – 5,890,347 (52.1%)
• Biden – 5,259,126 (46.5%)

Heatmap

Red - Rampant
Yellow – Likely/Suspect
Green - Clean

Estimating 675k excess votes for Biden, conservatively estimated. This would still give him a record high Dem vote gain, as he was up 1.38mm from Clinton, with Trump also up at a record number 1.21mm. Counties over 50k listed in spreadsheet screenshot.​

​

No party reg, heavy on 20 year pattern plus political trend. Trump trended Hispanic TX heavily Republican, but somehow “lost” Tarrant County and lost big margins in suburbs despite huge ~30% gains or more in all of them. Dem activity is obvious, many suburbs over 60% growth, huge urbans over 40%.​

​

Put simply, massive Trump gains in San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Houston don’t agree historically with a corresponding massive Dem jump in those counties.​

​

If accurate on 675k excess, Trump margin should have been roughly 55.4 to 43.1 (12.3%) with a margin of 1.3mm votes instead of 631k.​

Texas Secretary of State’s Phase One Investigation of the 2020 Election Identifies Nearly 700K Ineligible Voter Registrations | Becker News and Liberty Overwatch​

Phase one of the Texas Secretary of State’s review of the 2020 election in a sample of major counties shows that the status quo for the state’s elections simply cannot be allowed to continue:

• Statewide, a total of 11,737 potential non-U.S. citizens were identified as being registered to vote. Of these, 327 records were identified in Collin County, 1,385 in Dallas County, 3,063 in Harris County, and 708 in Tarrant County.​

• Since November 2020, 224,585 deceased voters have been removed from the voter rolls in Texas. Collin County removed 4,889 deceased voters, Dallas County removed 14,926 deceased voters, Harris County removed 23,914 deceased voters, and Tarrant County removed 13,955 deceased voters.​

• The review also revealed nearly half a million duplicate registration records: “Overall, the state review process resulted in the identification and removal of 449,362 duplicate voter registrations from the statewide voter registration list.”​

Secretary of State John Scott has called his investigation the country’s “most comprehensive forensic audit of the 2020 election.” President Trump disagreed, criticizing the SOS’s probe as “a weak risk-limiting audit” in an October 1 statement.

In total, the SOS’s phase one review found approximately 685K ineligible voter registrations. What a coincidence, a July analysis by Captain Seth Keshel estimated there were 675K excess votes for Biden in Texas.

DB I don't know what source you use to try and "prove" there was widespread fraud in Texas. Frankly if its on par with all your previous posts it's going to be sub-optimally accurate... by about 20 lengths of the straight

If anyone is interested there are a number of other analysis of this audit which in fact was released in the deadest time of the year to incite as little media attention as possible. That was because there was so little evidence of any fraud it was an embarrassment to the Texas SOS who pushed the audit.

Nothing Resembling Fraud Detected in Initial Findings of Texas Election Audit Trump Pushed for Desperately ​

Texas Secretary of State John Scott opted to release the unremarkable findings of the first phase state’s 2020 election review on New Year’s Eve

Texas’ audit of the 2020 election results thus far hasn’t unveiled anything out of the ordinary, despite former President Donald Trump pushing for an examination of what he dubbed a “scam” election in the state he won comfortably.

The Texas secretary of state’s office on New Year’s Eve released the first phase of its review of election data in four counties. Its findings were unremarkable, with few discrepancies between electronic and manual ballot counts.

...If the audit is indeed Scott’s top priority, it seems strange that he’d choose to bury its initial findings by releasing them on New Year’s Eve. He may have done so because they don’t contain even a whiff of evidence suggesting anything resembling a “scam” occurred during the 2020 election. “There doesn’t seem to be anything too far out of the ordinary with respect to the information that’s provided,” said Texas Association of Election Administrators President Remi Garza, according to the Tribune.

Preliminary Findings of 2020 Election Audit Finds Little Trouble in Big Texas Counties ​

Out of millions of votes cast in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Harris counties, only 17 deceased votes and 60 duplicate votes were found, the latter of which is still under investigation ​

Of course... If one really was interested in understanding how a real attempt at massive electoral fraud works you should check out the forensic analysis done in Georgia which details step by step Donald Trumps efforts to steal the State.

With any luck this evidence will form part of a criminal investigation, conviction and hopefully imprisonment of this serial crook.

How the campaign to undermine Georgia's election unfolded​

By David Wickert, Isaac Sabetai, Mark Niesse, Tia Mitchell, Maya T. Prabhu and Greg Bluestein, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Donald Trump and his supporters spent weeks trying to influence, and then overturn, the results of the November 2020 presidential election. They made allegations of voter fraud and sought to have state legislators - not voters - determine the winner, citing fraud allegations they said put the outcome of the election in doubt. To date, none of their allegations have been proved and investigators have found problems that might have affected only a handful of votes - not nearly enough to cast doubt on Joe Biden’s victory. What follows is a detailed timeline, compiled from interviews, government investigative documents, published news reports, books and memoirs that shows how this campaign played out in Georgia.

Capitol attack: Cheney says Republicans must choose between Trump and truth​

On a day of alarming polling about attitudes to political violence and fears for US democracy, and as the first anniversary of the Capitol attack approached, a Republican member of the House committee investigating the events of 6 January 2021 had a stark warning for her party.

One in three Americans say violence against government justified – poll

“Our party has to choose,” Liz Cheney told CBS’s Face the Nation. “We can either be loyal to Donald Trump or we can be loyal to the constitution, but we cannot be both.”

Trump supporters attacked Congress in an attempt to stop certification of his defeat by Joe Biden, which Trump maintains without evidence was the result of electoral fraud. Five people died around a riot in which a mob roamed the Capitol, searching for lawmakers to capture and possibly kill.

On Sunday, Cheney and Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the committee chairman, again discussed the possibility of a criminal referral for Trump over his failure to attempt to stop the riot or for his obstruction of the investigation.

Speaking to ABC’s This Week, Cheney said there were “potential criminal statutes at issue here, but I think that there’s absolutely no question that it was a dereliction of duty. And I think one of the things the committee needs to look at is … a legislative purpose, is whether we need enhanced penalties for that kind of dereliction of duty.”

Thompson said subpoenas could be served on Republicans in Congress who refuse to comply with information requests of the kind which have led to a charge of criminal contempt of Congress for Steve Bannon, Trump’s former strategist, and a recommendation of such a charge for Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff.

The rantings of lying deluded sheeple who will follow the rantings of Donald Trump over whatever cliff he sends them.

Looking back on the Capital attack and seeing more information coming our regarding the players its far more worrying now particularly the Republicans response not looking good for the future.

Oh please.

It was a gaggle of unarmed malcontents. If there was any threat their would have been 50 people dead at least.

Not saying I supported what they did, I don't.... Pretty damn stupid really. But the Dumbocrats are blowing this out of all proportion for petty political points that only the most hypnotized would actually believe.

You are either dishonest or lazy.

But the Dumbocrats are blowing this out of all proportion for petty political points that only the most hypnotized would actually believe.

Members of both parties feared for their lives during the riot.
There was an attempt to overturn the ballot, which is unprecedented.
Your comments appear delusional in face of the evidence of what occurred, including Trump's own family members imploring him to act to stop the riot.
The event has given democracy a bad name.

If it was just a bunch of good old boys that got carried away from a spontaneous demonstration I would agree It wasn't.

It was part of the narrative Trump ran starting before the election that the election was stolen, first time in 200 years, a narrative that most Republicans joined fearing Trump and actively marginalised anyone who didn't that tyrant behaviour.

All of the above is in the public domain.

I am neither dishonest nor lazy, but you just may be very naive. Case in point, the egregious AOC, who invented a whole load of bulshit over the whole episode.

All pretty stupid, but an insurrection it was not, nowhere even close to it.

And with what's left of my quarter brain cell I've gone straight off to the Amazon shop for some Sidney Powell (you remember her DB) merchandice... 'Release da Krackan' tumblers only $49.95US plus postage... yeah you'd be 'cracked' all-right...
....'fa-ark I need a drink...'

Shoot us all a pick with your's in hand DB, when it lands... We all want know you're out there putting your money it to the good fight and not .... well....
'all piss and wind like the barbers cat'

And what about ANTIFA's infiltration of Arizona Republicans???
throwing out the 'Cyber-punk... oops ninja's'... 'orr-dit'...'orr-dat' orr whatever it was... (need a link??? ... probably best not ... the sort of ting dat would sting like buggery)

WTF is the word salad/alphabet soup?

 

[rederob]

Given the whole box and dice is available for anyone to see on social media there is no need for anyone to "invent" anything in relation to what transpired.

All pretty stupid, but an insurrection it was not, nowhere even close to it.

I called it a riot so don't try to strawman my choice of words. It was a deliberate attempt to negate the election result and will remain a blight on US democracy, while continuing to cleave a wedge in an ongoing divide as Republicans try to play down what actually happened.

 

[moXJO]

Wow, still talking about Trump. I guess he is a chance 2024.

First off point me to the people charged with "insurrection".

After failing to do that, understand all this Democrat rubbish is for one purpose. And that's to stop Trump running again as he has started to poll well.

So if they can push this whole bs narrative, then they can invoke this:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President… who, having previously taken an oath… shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Yeah good luck.

Harris compared Jan 6 to Pearl Harbour and 911

What a joke

Meanwhile, Biden doesn't even know what year it is.

I think Biden will be gone within 12 months.
