We could go conspiracy theory here, right? OMG, these are both red counties. What if they added these lost votes just now to create doubt? *gasp*

Really, from a procedural aspect, inexcusable that TWO thumb drives from Red county polling locations were misplaced and then somehow turned up. SLOPPY.
I agree Clara and this is why we need to do a thorough review from the top down and bottom up. Regardless of the outcome of this election, we owe it to every citizen that we ensure every single voter can feel confident in the system going forward. At first there was no evidence of any issues. Now issue after issue is arising. How many more are there?

And now Georgia has to prepare for the senate election to come in January.

Prayers they send at least one R, or the exec/leg branches will be all one party. Not good. Gum up the works.
Clara, any info on how the new votes affect the Senate races? They were much closer. I am with you 100% on gumming up the works. We should never have one party control, ever. Come on gridlock!

Im sorry, but this sounds a little too good for Trump, I would put 'cheating and fraud' beyond him to try to steal this election!


Seriously, has anyone even considered that possibility? Trump and fraud go hand in hand, stealing an election would be right up his alley, heck, he stole from his own charity! LOL

Hillary conceded the day after the election. That says all you need to know.

The left was not screaming "fraud!" over PA, MI and WI. The left did not even particularly dispute Trump won those 3 states, and did not demand recounts. Because Hillary had already conceded the election, there was no point in them doing so.

They certainly thought the election was aided by Russia, but that's not the same as contesting the actual vote counts. The issue with Russia was more an issue of Russia doing shady things to persuade people to vote for Trump, rather than anybody casting large numbers of illegal votes.

Personally I was always ambivalent about the Russia thing. It was clear to me they were trying to influence the election, but whether that had much of an effect or not, I don't really know.

The people who voted for candidates other than Trump are a subset of the people who voted, who are a subset of the people registered to vote, who are a subset of the people eligible to vote, who are a subset of the overall population. (and no, I’m not a Trump supporter, nor a Republican)
Whatever. trump lost.

I agree, and I don’t think trump supporters would have a problem with that. Main objective is to keep him in office, regardless of the methods.

Refer to Post #39. If you don't have proof, do yourself a favor and shut the Hell up about the alleged fraud.

What issues are real and which are just fake news and conspiracy theory? I have not heard any report of any credible issue. There were allegedly sharpie issues with Arizona dominion ballots, yet Maricopa County prefered the use of sharpies and did so for weeks before the allegations of sharpie-gate started. Within a week, the idea of sharpie-gate was dropped.
