WSJ: There is No Election Fraud

[Toro]

They point out the obvious responses to the ridiculous claims of fraud.

​

• “Ballot dumps”: It’s being painted as suspicious that big batches of votes were reported in the early hours of Nov. 4. To take Wisconsin: Mr. Trump complained in a tweet that Joe Biden got “a dump of 143,379 votes at 3:42AM.” But the explanation is prosaic: Contemporaneous reporting says this is when Milwaukee’s central counting location finished with roughly 170,000 mail ballots. They included votes for both candidates but broke heavily for Mr. Biden.​

​

The timing is unfortunate, but Wisconsin law doesn’t let counties process absentee ballots until Election Day, unlike states that reported early, including Florida. Still, the margin in Milwaukee County doesn’t look crazy: Mr. Biden won 69% to 29%, compared with Hillary Clinton’s victory of 65% to 29%. As a share of Wisconsin’s vote total, Milwaukee County fell to 13.9%, from 14.8%. A recount finished last week increased Milwaukee’s tally by only 382 votes.​

​

The same goes for Michigan, which reported a similar batch of ballots in the wee hours of Nov. 4. State law says mail votes can’t be processed until one day before the election. The overnight jump for Mr. Biden appears to have come from Wayne County, which includes Detroit. But again the margins aren’t wild: Mr. Biden won there 68% to 30%, compared with Mrs. Clinton’s 67% to 29%. As a share of Michigan overall, Wayne County fell to 15.8%, from 16.2%. ...​

​

• Poll watchers: Judges have dismissed affidavits submitted by the Trump camp as “rife with speculation and guess-work” and “inadmissible as hearsay.” Other claims made in public circulate largely without being tested. A poll watcher from Delaware County, Pa., alleged last week, without giving any evidence, that 47 USB cards used in the election “are missing, and they’re nowhere to be found.” Where’s the proof? “We are aware of these allegations,” says Laureen Hagan, the chief elections clerk in Delaware County. “They are false. All votes on all scanners have been accounted for.”​

​

• Dominion: On Sunday, Mr. Trump called Dominion voting systems, used in dozens of states, “garbage machinery.” But the totals from Georgia’s hand recount closely matched the results from its scanners. How does Mr. Trump explain that? In an op-ed for these pages, Dominion’s CEO denied the “bizarre” claim that his company is tied to Hugo Chávez. Third-party labs, he said, “perform complete source-code reviews on every federally certified tabulation system.”​

​

Fighting such claims is like whack-a-mole. No, Pennsylvania didn’t count more mail votes than it sent out. No, Wisconsin didn’t have 89% turnout. No, several states didn’t simultaneously quit counting ballots on election night. No, ballots in Arizona filled out with Sharpie markers weren’t discounted. In an election with 155 million votes, there are no doubt irregularities and maybe some fraud. But for Mr. Trump to win the Electoral College, he’d need to flip tens of thousands of votes in multiple states.​

There is no excuse for the silence from most of the GOP here.

If they pay a price for it in 2022, they'll have deserved it.

Hilliary had more supporters than Biden----------so yes higher numbers is suspicious.

these are black areas as well where Trump picked up supporters among blacks this year--over last election so yes higher percentage there is also a clear sign.

Third the dems FRAUD every election--I've seen it. It's like they can't stop themselves. To be a lib is to have no moral backbone and no shame about it--hence also why we see more prisoners as libs.

Not sure where you get your silly notions nor how figure you can apply them to others. Such a childish creature you are.

Well, the claims of voter fraud exist in conservative media and Trump’s imagination.

They don’t exist in the courts, at the DoJ, on the election boards, the state government or reality for that matter.

You’re welcome to come live in reality if you wish.

They have found evidence, stop with teh shit headlines you ******* bastard my god

 

[task0778]

The OP's link is to a WSJ Opinion referring to a statement by AG William Barr that so far insufficient evidence has surfaced that would prove enough election/voter fraud exists that would overturn the election in Trump's favor. It does NOT say that election/voter fraud didn't exist, for it surely does, but there is not sufficient evidence to invalidate the election, which is a big deal. It doesn't mean that cheating didn't happen, but it cannot be proved in court to the extent that the election results should be thrown out.

I don't believe we'll ever know the truth of how rampant the fraud was, and how much occurred that no one knows about. Did it happen? IMHO, yes. Was it enough to make a difference? IMHO, no. I refuse to accept as fact any unproven allegations; that's what the democrats did in 2016, for Trump's entire 4 years they tried to de-legitimize his presidency with no actual basis in fact. It's a sorry conduct that I won't be a party to.
