There’s been a lot of talk from Trump and his supporters about voting irregularities, and how the 2020 election was rigged and/or stolen. So far, the evidence has been less than persuasive.
There was cheating (there’s always cheating), a lot of the rules were bent because of the pandemic, and there were some generally weird things going on, but so far, no one has been able to prove that the weird stuff was significant enough to change the result, or even that it all trended in one direction. Some Republicans were caught cheating too.
Now we seem to have the first serious attempt with actual data. New report: 255,000 ‘excess votes’ for Biden in six key 2020 states
I’m not endorsing this or claiming anything about the election, but it is worth noting, and it will be interesting to see how this story plays out.
First, how is a normal guy suppose to react to this story? It would be nice if the media could be relied upon to tell the truth… but, they’ve proved (throughout the Covid pandemic) that they’re untrustworthy.
QUOTE: Is this the long-awaited kraken?
Doesn’t seem like it is. The Kraken purported to provide concrete evidence that the 2020 election was rigged and Trump “won by a landslide”. Yet, the author of this report says: “The point of this work isn’t to contest the 2020 election, but to point out that we have a real problem that needs to be dealt with. Americans must have confidence in future elections.” Funny, a similar sentiment was expressed after the 2016 election. Yet, it seems the “kraken crowd” wasn’t interested until 2020.

This sounds like another effort to raise questions about the 2020 election outcomes. Mike Lindell, the “My Pillow” guy seems to have his ongoing cyber review….we are still waiting. Allegedly, the famed Arizona audit reviewed actual election ballots and threatened to demonstrate election shenanigans….to no avail. Interestingly, despite waiting final approval, some parts of the media are already speculating about this report’s significance. It will be fascinating to see what the outcomes of this one will be.
Could this be the long-awaited Kraken in gestation?

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!! OAN admits there was no widespread fraud in Georgia in the 2020 election after extensively pushing the claim. “Georgia officials have concluded that there was no widespread voter fraud by election workers who counted ballots at the State Farm Arena in November 2020. The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud or criminal misconduct, the statement said, referring to two election workers for Fulton County, Georgia.” https://www.businessinsider.com/pro-trump-oan-admits-no-election-fraud-georgia-2020-2022-5
So much for reliable media! Interestingly, these election workers had to endure harassments, death threats, public defamation by Trump (multiple times) and threatened by a Kanye West publicist in an attempt to extract a confession for election fraud. SMH!!! I’m happy they were able to reap a settlement from their defamation lawsuit and forced OAN to admit the truth. That said, OAN got off way too light, if you ask me.
In other news, Newsmax issued a retraction and apology to a Dominion employee over election fraud claims. “Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true. Many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final, the company said in a statement published online.” As well, “Newsmax has found no evidence that Dr. Coomer interfered with Dominion voting machines or voting software in any way, nor that Dr. Coomer ever claimed to have done so. Nor has Newsmax found any evidence that Dr. Coomer ever participated in any conversation with members of ‘Antifa,’ nor that he was directly involved with any partisan political organization.”
Well, when the former Attorney General (aka head Trump Boot-licker) testifies under oath that the claim the 2020 election was stolen was “Bullsh**” and there was no evidence of such likely leaves the Kraken gasping for air. Yet, I’m sure there are some that desperately desire to keep it on life-suppport.
Based on the testimony (under oath) of Republicans, conservative pundits and Trump administration senior officials, seems the Kraken is officially dead. Their ubiquitous testimony is there was no evidence of wide-spread voter fraud that would have changed the outcomes of the 2020 election. In fact, AG Barr testified (under oath) that Trump would have been “detached from reality” to believe allegations of the election being stolen. Sadly, despite the testimony and clear evidence…there will be those who believe the lie is the truth. Not only that, based on current evidence, the Trump campaign made multiple of millions from promulgating the “Big Lie” to supporters.
Well, there was this drunk guy in the White House telling the president that the election was stolen. That’s about as krakeny as it gets.
Krakeny or “swampish”? What ever happened to drain the swamp?
This might be the first decision that has gone in a general Trumpian direction.

Three questions:
1) What shenanigans took place?
2) Was there verifiable evidence of voter fraud?
3) Before 2020, in practice, ballad boxes were allowed in 40 states. So, what’s the problem now?
Another nail in the Kraken’s coffin…
Eight prominent conservatives( Sen. John Danforth; Republican lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg; federal Judge Thomas Griffith; David Hoppe, chief of staff to former House Speaker Paul Ryan; federal judge J. Michael Luttig; federal judge Michael McConnell; Theodore Olson, solicitor general under former President George W. Bush; and Sen. Gordon Smith) released a 72-page report refuting claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election in dozens of unsuccessful court cases brought forth by former President Trump and his allies. The group said they reviewed all 64 court cases Trump and his allies initiated challenging the election outcome, saying they had reached an “unequivocal” conclusion that the claims were unsupported by evidence. “We conclude that Donald Trump and his supporters had their day in court and failed to produce substantive evidence to make their case.”

Whadda ya know???…maybe Joe Biden won the 2020 election after all? Seems this is a recent revelation for Republican NH Senate candidate Gen. Don Bolduc. During his campaign he emphatically declared that Trump won. In fact, he said he signed a letter with a 120 other generals and admirals declaring Trump won and he stands by his word. Now that he’s won his primary, his view seems to have changed…
“I have come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive on this, the election was not stolen.”
Who knew?
