From last year: Mitch McConnell Received Donations from Voting Machine Lobbyists Before Blocking Election Security Bills [..] The plans would likely burden the two largest electronic voting machine vendors in the United States, Election Systems & Software and Dominion Voting Systems, with new...

Here's simultaneous animation of the trajectory of the epidemic so far for every country on Earth in terms of daily deaths and cases per capita. Since deaths trail cases by a few weeks, a wave of the epidemic produces a loop in its track. Note the logarithmic scale of the axes! After the...

Yes, there's no need to make that decision, for sure. I'm going with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: "Und ich habe […] gefunden, dass Missverständnisse und Trägheit vielleicht mehr Irrungen in der Welt machen als List und Bosheit. Wenigstens sind die beiden letzteren gewiß seltener."...

I think seeing that the adressee was Tucker Carlson would be cause for concern, as that would clearly be a potential PR disaster in the making. Additional thought: if they thought the thumb drive was stolen, as they would have if there were conclusive signs of the envelope having been opened...

There is a new Twitter account that purports to belong to Four Seasons Total Landscaping; time will tell if it's legitimate or not, but they're doing a very good job making it look like it is. Source: https://twitter.com/fstl1992/status/1325296585639686144 Source...

Welcome! I don't remember anyone here being offended at anyone's religion, and I expect expressing such a sentiment would violate the politeness policy.

"If the ballot has not been cast successfully, the ballot is likely blank or overvoted." I'm reading this to imply that undervoted ballots don't require confirmation unless they're completely blank/unreadable. But the documentation also says that "the screen [..] will have more information"...

Possibly this: Wagon filmed at Detroit vote center held camera gear, not ballots CLAIM: Video shows a man unloading ballots from a white van and using a red wagon to secretly haul them into Detroit’s ballot-counting center in the middle of the night. THE FACTS: On Wednesday, as election...

From the complaint: So, basically, what they're hoping to achieve is a recount (aka scan all ballots again), and for ALL votes to be thrown out if the recount is not achieved (and for that to happen, all they'd need to do is slow it down until time runs out); presumably, in that case, the...

No, the point is, most absentee ballots that were being counted in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin "came in" long before election day. A big reason for the delay: Laws in each state barred election officials from getting a head start on processing and counting the record number of mail-in...

Local Republican officials were recruiting volunteers on Thursday to call Pennsylvania voters and urge them to send in their ballots—two full days after Election Day. This plea was emailed out just hours before President Donald Trump went on national television Thursday to declare the inherent...

Oh, and factually, the blue shift in Pennsylvania is from absentee ballots that "came in" before election day, but couldn't be counted before election day (as in other states) because Republicans blocked the laws that would have allowed it. There is no evidence that any votes cast after election...

"Blue Church" is a propaganda term. The abstract is this: the Blue Church is a kind of narrative / ideology control structure that is a natural result of mass media. It is an evolved (rather than designed) function that has come over the past half-century to be deeply connected with the...

It's statistically unlikely. Many of the gains have been driven by the shifting politics of Maricopa County, which is home to Phoenix and its suburbs. Maricopa County accounts for 60% of the state’s vote, and Biden leads there by 3.4 percentage points in votes that have already been tabulated...

The NBC analysts I watched last night believed that, in some states and very approximately, Joe Biden got about the same percentage of votes as Hillary Clinton did, and on top of that some of the 3% of voters that switched from voting independent. 2016, the "also ran" candidates commanded...

By a narrow margin. Pennsylvania and Nevada margins have moved in Joe Biden's favor since my post #65 yesterday, too.

Thanks for that clip! - Trump acknowledges that he's losing the official count. - He's sowing division and distrust, and presumably misinformation, resorting to a conspiracy theory to explain a reality that does not match his beliefs. - He intends to win this election in the courts. - He's far...

All votes matter!

Ballot Curing In the event that a ballot missing a signature or there is a discrepancy in signature matching, eighteen states require officials to notify voters and allow voters to correct signature errors through a process called ballot curing. [1] Ballot curing is a two-part process that...
