Voting is open, so presumably, is cheating, which will win?
Betting markets are predicting a Red Wave, but the richest nation in the world can’t afford to use paper ballots, check ID, and can’t count the votes on election night anymore.
Don’t forget, Trump looked like it had it in the bag on the night:
Bookies gave Trump roughly 75% odds of a second term, and on PredictIt Trump’s odds of victory peaked at above eighty percent.
In a never-before-seen development in American politics, counting in key states went on for days on end. Over the course of those extra days, Trump’s leads in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania shrank and then vanished. Legal efforts to block what was unfolding and contest certain questionable ballots went nowhere, and on January 20, it was Joe Biden who took the oath of office.
A well funded cabal of shadowy forces “fortified” the 2020 election results, we know this, because they told us so. The election win was no accident, they bragged. As they said in Time Magazine, corporations worked with one side of government behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. The FBI was given the Hunter Biden laptop and sat on it for months, the media refused to cover the biggest political scandal of the century, and Joe Biden even told us he was running “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Phone tracking data showed that average, on Election day 2,000 enthusiastic mules visited 38 ballot boxes each. In Atlanta after voting was bizarrely stopped, and Republicans were sent home Democrat election officials pulled suitcases of ballots out from under tables and kept counting. The election was so riddled with doubts that seven US states sent both sets of electors to Capitol Hill. And the list of odd things goes on…
Things were so bad, 18 States of the US asked the Supreme Court to investigate blatant corruption in 4 other states and the Supreme Court’s only response was to say, improbably, “they had no standing”, as if cheating in some states that changes the US Government could somehow not affect the other states. Remember, if those four states didn’t cheat, the US Supreme Court could have taken that case and showed the election was free and fair, thus healing the rift, supporting the President and helping the Democrats.
What looks like a coup, smells like a coup…
Who could forget the immortal words of Andy Swan: The only thing we did on Election day was tell them how many votes they needed on Election night.
Suddenly 138,000 and 200,000 voters all voted for Biden…
The team that rig one election, and send the FBI after their political opponents can’t afford to lose the next one. Everything is at stake.
The watchword for Tuesday night isn’t “Stop the Steal.” It is “Expect the Steal… And Be Ready”.
Revolver
Consider Pennsylvania, with its crucial Senate contest between Mehmet Oz and The Creature Who Answers to the Name John Fetterman. Two years ago, Pennsylvania’s election process probably featured more red flags than any other closely contested state. The state took a whole week to count its votes, with Biden only overtaking Trump’s large election-night lead on Friday morning. Pennsylvania let votes count even if they arrived after Election Day, even if they had no postmark, and even if they didn’t have a matching signature. Twenty Pennsylvania counties used millions of dollars donated by Mark Zuckerberg to finance their election activities, including the famous unsupervised “Zuckerboxes,” which made it virtually impossible to enforce the state’s relatively strict limits on ballot harvesting. When Trump supporters tried to independently monitor drop boxes, state attorney general Josh Shapiro (now running for governor) threatened them with prosecution.
So, what are things like two years later? Pennsylvania’s Republican legislature passed bills to ensure signature verification and photo ID, and to ensure proper poll-watching… but Democratic governor Tom Wolf vetoed those bills. So in Pennsylvania this cycle, things are substantially like they were two years ago. And, yep, the state is even warning that it’s going to take a long time to count ballots again.
The media is managing expectations:
ABC News Says “Red Mirage” Will Look Like Big Republican Win, But Vote Count Could Take “Weeks”
Paul Joseph Watson: Here we go again
This should be a lot of FUN and I for one will be watching very closely.

What is it about Maricopa county? It seems to have a lot of issues. Serious question.
141
Arizona is a red state. This not only includes the rural counties, but also the urban counties. It’s not at all like eastern big cities with ethnic regions and labor union strongholds. Most people in suburban Mesa drive diesel pickup trucks and openly carry guns. This includes the hispanic and African American populations as well. The only chance for the Democrats to win there is to cheat in the one big urban county.
382
It’s amazing to think that the headline ” The World watches the Midterm elections” is in fact very true. Almost absurd to think that what happens in some Arizona county has implications for world geopolitics. That whoever gets control of the “house” and “senate” in the US could affect my everyday life here in rural Victoria, Australia or a small city in Germany or perhaps some large city in Nigeria, Africa. What happens in these mid-terms could actually be more important than the upcoming Victorian state election. How did we get to this point?
260
That whoever gets control of the “house” and “senate” in the US could affect my everyday life here in rural Victoria,
In my view China and Russia have been more influential in global events in the last few years than anything in the USA. China introduced the world to Covid. Russia cut off gas supply to Europe. Both these events have influenced and continue to influence daily lives in Australia in significant ways.
The developed world is moving toward total reliance on Chinese manufacturing so the Chinese influence is growing. USD is still king but the CNY is gaining ground as the currency of trade. Give Biden another two years and USDs should have growing stench of irrelevancy. Both China and Japan are already reducing their holding in US debt.
The big question is – where will China get the coal to make all the useless stuff the developed countries want to satisfy the climate gods?
165
China actually has some significant coal deposits.
Most of this is by no means of as high a grade as good Oz anthracite, especially the stuff from the Bowen Basin. Extremely low sulphur and other “impurities”, the Queensland product is ideal for producing high-grade steel.
The Chinese-mined coal is very variable, as is their quality of general steel output. A decade or so ago, I was working in Viet Nam and the Oz and Kiwi site foremen on various building projects were complaining about the dubious quality of the Chinese-made reinforcing steel they had received for construction projects. Interesting times.
Chinese steel makers are perfectly capable of making high-grade steel using quality ingredients; much of this goes into rolled homogeneous armour and pressure-bearing components of military hardware, etc. Nothing wrong with their ordnance-grade stuff, at all.

China and the Democrats introduced the world to Covid-FIFY

RickWill — “In my view, China and Russia have been more influential in global events in the last few years than anything in the USA”
But that’s just it, isn’t it Rick, if Trump had been President, things would be very different. The UN / WHO would be smaller, China would have less influence, and Scott Morrison could have pointed at the US, and avoided daft NetZero promises. The Paris agreement would be irrelevant. Morrison may even have found a backbone, and not been so pathetically crippled he gave up his best election tactics.
There were no wars while Trump was president, he might have negotiated Ukraine and NATO into guaranteeing a buffer zone and stopped the war. So it’s possible that the world today might not have such blistering energy prices, inflation would be a lot lower, and Europe might have had more time to unwind it’s stupid reliance on Russian gas. Afghanistan might still let girls go to school. The Taliban might not be running it. The US might have a gas pipeline to Canada. TikTok in the US would not be under CCP control.
PS: China digs up ten times as much coal as Australia does. 4 billion tons.

They’re boarded up just for tonight, in case the locals get a little extra enthusiastic in their love for democracy, and the results they will gleefully accept, win or lose.

One word – Incoming!
ie brace yourselves.
I’ve just read about 15 articles on the election chaotic disaster so far this morning.
Interesting how the US mega lottery had one winner of $2.04 BILLION ($1B cash minus $370M in taxes (!!!) leaving $630M) from California and how the results were announced within 2 days with total accuracy.
Biden -we’ll need a few weeks to
rigtally the results…Tomorrow should be fun.
100
How anyone could vote for the clueless DEMs is beyond my understanding, but perhaps I’ll believe the result
when I see it.
Then again I’m very doubtful the DEMs can win if everything is above board. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Rest easy, we are off to a good start, Republicans win in Guam for first time in almost 30 years.
100
Was it the Guam representative who [seriously] was concerned that the island would tip over if more heavy weaponry were put on it?
60
That was Hank Johnson (D) from Georgia.
During a House committee meeting, Rep. Hank Johnson said he feared that stationing 8,000 Marines on Guam would cause the island to “become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”
110
https://youtu.be/cesSRfXqS1Q
How the Admiral managed to contain himself and didn’t burst out laughing when Johnson said that is an amazing feat of self-control.

You beat me to it, David. – 👍

It’s great that Guam has gone red but since Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States it’s representative in Congress has no voting rights.

“ Republicans win in Guam for first time in almost 30 years.”
So, Guam finally DID reach a “tipping point.” 😁

Don’t fall down the rabbit hole again Jo. 62 court cases by Trump associates failed to overturn a single vote. There were many allegations against voting machines but none explained how the electronic and the matching paper vote could be altered without the voter or vote counters knowing.

18 States of the US asked the Supreme Court to investigate blatant corruption in 4 other states and the Supreme Court said “they had no standing”. So 18 State Attorney Generals of the US agree with me, but what would they know eh?.
Feel free to explain how cheating in any US state election does not hurt the honest states, and why the Supreme Court decision was anything other than cowardly and nonsensical.
Remember, if those 4 states didn’t cheat, the US Supreme Court could have taken that case and showed the election was free and fair, and healed the rift.

Texas lacked standing to pursue the case, as it “has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.”
312
Exactly. You have no reply.
121
So, as everybody has explained to you several times.
It did not get to court, because there was no-one willing to adjudicate the cases.
51
54 cases proved that there were no errors in process.
Sidney Powell admitted in court filings that no reasonable person would believe her allegations.Rudi was disbarred for misinformation.
24
There were no court cases.. so stop the lies.
It was ruled to be a state by state issue, and no-one was going to allow court investigations of voter fraud when they and/or their mates were quite probably complicit.
The left judiciary, protecting the left.
41
And as Sidney Powell said.. it was unbelievable what the Democrats were able to get away with.

‘Don’t fall down the rabbit hole again …’
That was then and this is now, there won’t be any shenanigans.

O “malarkey,” either
40
All really secure systems, such as Key Management Systems, are NOT connected to a network for obvious reasons. But the voting machines, and I presume still are, connected to a network that’s linked to a server or severs in real-time. Do you really believe that’s a good approach for voting machines? I’m not saying that there is voting interference, but I am saying that there is an obvious potential for that interference to occur.
150
Where there’s potential for Democrat malfeasance, there WILL be Democrat malfeasance.

Trouble is none of the court cases was allowed to proceed… People signing statutory declarations and with evidence – no nothing to see here…
230
And he knows that is the case !!
The DOJ and leftish legal system had those court cases well and truly clamped down.
No way were they going to be allowed to proceed.
101
Here is a list:
Oregon 2000
Washington 2012
Colorado 2014
These are the states that conduct all elections by mail (paper), and the year implemented. They also took many years getting the procedures in place to do so. While there are always a few issues, “There’s no evidence that voter fraud has ever affected the outcome of a vote-by-mail election here in Washington state.” Oregon and Colorado claim similar, I think, but finding information is difficult.
The election of 2020, nationally, generated much fuss. However, while there were more issues, and Trump and friends pushed these relentlessly, solid evidence says Trump lost. In Washington State the count was 2,369,612 for Biden and 1,584,651 for Trump. See that “1” on the end for Trump – that’s me. See the county map with the rural/urban divide here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Washington_(state)
Trump was his own worst enemy and Biden is the worst president ever, but don’t blame me.

DEMOCRACY IS ON THE BALLOT
This must be the dumbest slogan EVA. The BALLOT IS DEMOCRACY.
90
I would like to add “only if no one cheats,” except that democracy is an honors system, and their name not withstanding, “Democrats” are some of the least honorable people on the planet. Democracy invites cheating, and Dems are only too happy to accept the invitation.
80
Its not an election . It’s a cheating competition . Make all the right noises (lies) and you are in . Who is kidding who ?
82
Are you saying there are no policy differences between the parties?
I have never seen such a stark difference between them.
70
The stark difference this time is the gun issue and abortion, but the voters are more focussed on inflation and which Party has the economic wisdom to save them.
72
Like liberal/conservative, Democrat/Republican are becoming anachronistic terms.
The populist undercurrent which elected Trump is evident in both parties.
The Deep State is a serious thing and has strong contingents on both sides.
The Republican establishment was not cohesive enough to stop Trump.
The Democrats were able to install Biden, and able to manipulate their more populist elements with the considerable power of there media propagandist allies.
JoNova poster another ian (if I remember right) linked to an article describing a major contributor to DeSantis that wants to return the party back to its’ Deep Stare roots and away from the populism of Trump.
I suspect if Trump backed candidates do well tonight, the Deep State takes off the gloves … if they haven’t already … by rigging the game the for their inside DC uni-party Cold War was/is and Forevermore business partners.
The stark difference may be clear tomorrow and might not be the one advertised.
81
One interesting aspect of the USA that is evident to most people is that the people in positions of power do not believe in democracy while the people on the streets, the voters, do still believe that they have voting power. This is interesting because you will notice in the USA that neither paorty stands for anything other than the two standard issues of abortion and guns (and Trump) and the people cannot even get excited about those now that inflation is making living difficult.
The same features were also evident in Australia during the pandemic. The people in positions of power did not believe in individual freedom and democracy, they believed in using their power. It shows that it will not be long before the rest of the western nations follow in the footsteps of the USA.
The issue is that the people are no longer unser societal pressure to behave in a way that is compatible with the system, they no longer feel they have to tell the truth or be honest. As a result the system cannot manitain itself as it relies on that societal behaviour in order to function correctly. Slowly over time, the fish rots from the head down and the people start to be self serving rather than acting in the best interest of their country or society. When this happens, it is just a matter of time until the system collapses. Australia is already well down this road, we shall see how long it takes.
110
Indeed – elections here are a complete sham, as the major parties basically will do exactly the same thing, follow the WEF, and not follow what the people want. People naively think that their voting will actually do something. Sorry it won’t unless you vote for a freedom party.
80
How did that go in the last Australian election? You got a real freedom party didn’t you. Free ride for unions.
31
Really, does it make any difference who wins? A country evenly divided, with neither side willing to accept a result, all being manipulated by ravenous elites, and a Machiavellian deep state. A system that is totally corrupt, with mountains of cash to buy anyone, from internal and external sources. Modern technology weaponizing opinions. 2-3 generations of brainwashed useful idiots. Godless religions able to out-fanaticise the god botherers. Climate catastrophe 100/1. Civilizational catastrophe 3/1.
Calling Super Solomon!
What will probably get rolled out will be the wonders of AI, temporarily controlled by The Few. Bid welcome our saviours, The Machines!

I have studied some statistics at University level and achieved honours in my results.
I am suspicious that at the close of counting on election night Trump was leading in all the states that handed victory ultimately to Biden and Trump was leading by double digits in percentage terms in many of them.
I found it almost statistically unbelievable that Biden won fairly and after nearly 2 years of his stewardship I am only becoming more convinced.
251
So Rosco, you claim know statistics. What is your statistical approach for assessing who is in the lead when different pools of voters are counted at different times?
621
When statistics doesn’t apply…

Psephologists use a wide variety of statistical and other techniques to predict polling outcome.
Assuming binary outcomes, for larger populations you could perhaps use the two proportion z-test or for smaller groups maybe Fisher’s Exact Test for binary variables.
41
Not even close.
311
Any sampling had to be stratified because rural voters trend to more conservative than urban and rural ballot boxes were counted earlier than in the cities. The pollsters knew this and were advising viewers that there would be a late Democrat swing.

what GA meant to say was..
“when different pools of voters (selected or faked) are counted MANY times. !”

That would be a forensic goal if you were inclined but that is unlikely.

Dems cheat. What do you expect?
101
It is a privately run betting market – how is anyone cheating?
26
I’m calling it: betting market snapshots are not very reliable.
Right now 10-51-1-24. The bottoms has fallen out of Rep win both. Then again there is 14% missing and has been for some minutes.
It is about the same % for senate as October 19. The R only pulled ahead in the last 2 weeks on this market.
36
‘The R only pulled ahead in the last 2 weeks on this market.’
Looking further back to gauge what happened.
‘In August, 61.3% of bets were placed on Democrats to hold the Senate, compared to 38.7% of bets on Republicans to flip it. In September, that lead grew as Democrats saw 70.4% of bets to Republicans’ 29.6%. Then October came and everything flipped, as 59.7% of bets landed on Republicans to 40.3% of bets on Democrats.
November has seen the Republican lead grow slightly, as 61.9% of bets have been placed on them, while Democrats have seen just 38.1% of bets. That’s the largest lead in the betting Republicans have seen since the summer special elections.’ (Odds Checker)
31
“ It is a privately run betting market – how is anyone cheating?” – GI
Cheating poisons the data – like the horse that shouldn’t win the race, but did because it was drugged; or the horse that should have won, bit didn’t because the jock was paid to hold it back.
Statistics can’t tell much when the data is bad.
Please don’t tell is you don’t know that.
21
It’s all those dead folk voting.
21
Nope. Probably the Vax kicked in as voters stepped into the voting booth.
00
I’m (also) watching the Senate race in Georgia between Raphael Warnock, the Democrat incumbent, and Herschel Walker.
When I started, Warnock had 75% of the vote.
Now he has 51%, and Walker 47%, and there’s still only 53% of the vote counted, and it’s turning into the tossup that was generally predicted, and something similar also happened with the Fetterman and Oz race in Pennsylvania.
It’s amazing how ALL of those early numbers always favor the Dems, if you’re watching now as votes come in, and an awful lot of these early numbers strongly favour the Democrats, a false blue hope.
I’m watching at the Politico site, and while Politico is a pretty solid Democrat supporting site, one of the interesting things to see at the site is about two thirds of the way down the page where it’s titled ….. Races that got less competitive.
Now, what that sort of translates to is that a day or so back when I teed up the site to watch for today, they listed their Solid Democrat through to Solid Republican, and the five or so steps between that likely, leaning and toss up.
There was a huge number of districts in that toss up area ….. well, as the site is a Dem supporter, and they were still hopeful of winning.
So, back to today and now to what I alluded to above, the races that got less competitive.
It would seem all of those hoped for ??? tossup districts are all swinging across to the Republicans.
Tony.

I’m far more interested in US elections than our own. The US effects us greatly and watching is a great spectator sport.

The great Cheatathon they call an election.
10
Yes amazing how a candidate that has all but lost the power of speech can campaign for 6 months and now lead the count after 40% of the vote is counted.
60
In the US they more or less have a choice between non-Rino Republicans and DemocRATs. In Australia there are only gradations between bad and extremely bad for Lib, Lab, Teal and Green.
20
Colors of the rainbow I suppose…
10
Herschel Walker looks likely to squeeze in with about
75% of the vote in.
Full percentage point lead according to Fox news.
10
The way this works is that there’s one extra box of votes that gets counted last and has just enough Dem votes in it to get them over the line. If the Rep lead is too large for one box, there will be two boxes.
61
Oh, come now there has to be at least one Republican vote in that box under the table.

Interesting the different calls made by different news outlets. Some are very ambitious or conservative with calling house seats early but all are about the same for senate. About 41-41 atm.

DeSantis is looking good for the GOP nomination in 2024. Florida is the standout, the rest where they were relying on Trump is hardly like warm.
He has time so may let it pass this time though.
32
As I watch, Walker has just taken the lead in Georgia’s senate race so my gloom may not be justified.
That gives the GOP the bare senate and someone has called 5 house seat gain for them.

On the question of a lame duck president, its a strange political culture.
‘If the Democrats lose both Houses, he will become a dead duck President, for the last two years of his Presidency, with little or no power to control legislation. If the Democrats manage to hold on to the Senate, then he has some room to manoeuvre, but will still be a lame duck President, since legislation needs the approval of both Houses.’ (NDTV)

The King is dead. Long live the King.
Trump fails and DeSantis shines. Without Florida the GOP would have LOST the election. They may still do so.
This is an emphatic hiding. If they can’t beat Biden and Fetterman then they couldn’t beat Dan.

Your avowed enemies do. Ever heard of a leftist say “I don’t like XXX policy, I’ll vote conservative”? Neither have I.
The unions have a word “staunch”. I wish others on the right would have the same feeling.

The USA is giving banana republics a bad name with its shambolic election system. I am shocked to see that some states do not have any in person voting. The UK may not have a functioning democracy but at least we know the results can be trusted although the introduction of easier postal voting has opened the door to some fraud in leftwing areas unsurprisingly.

Back to the OP.
The watchword for Tuesday night isn’t “Stop the Steal.” It is “Expect the Steal… And Be Ready”.
They were caught out last time so they knew they couldn’t bring in millions of late ballots again, so they change to front loading, it’s all done early.
The thing to watch for will be excess votes cast, but that won’t show for some time. By then it will be “too late you are a denier”.
Of course I have no idea yet, I’m saying what we should look for.

Dinesh D’Souza’s book of 2000 Mules is now out and greatly strengthens the case made in the documentary that Trump won the 2020 election.

Biden,s 77% disapproval and all democratic governor’s remain.
Florida cleaned up their electoral system and had a tsunami of republican votes.
Go figure.

I wonder what happened with the case in Atlanta. Was there ever an investigation?

The usual in Democratic cities, but the GOP just sits ther, playing with their hammers. It looks like the deal went down before the polls opened. Everyone gets their cut. That is how the game is played. Otherwise, there would be someone to greet those vans full of “ballots”. But since there is always a slice for the “Big Guy”, it is quietly accepted. It is either that, or they are too dim to come up with an effective response. Senator Blunt (R-MO) has a son on the board of a “cut out” company, just like the Bidens.

I wonder how the Dems cheated this time? Did they use mules who were told not to carry their cellphones, or did they think of something else and if so then what?
It would be foolish to accuse them of fixing this midterm (rather than suggest it around a virtual table) without clear evidence, but I have considered the USA not to be a democracy since the last presidential, and D’Souza’s book proves it.

I think using the mail in system early, a technique they perfected a couple of years ago.
They knew they couldn’t dump uncreased postals again.
