Getting back to fraud related to this election and the vote on whether to retain or not retain these three Pa state supreme court justices:
62% to 38% is a pretty healthy margin, and assuming there was fraud, for results like those, it would have to be perpetrated on a massive level.
The political advertisements that I did see on this ballot issue mainly seemed to focus on women's reproductive rights. This would make me think that it would be one of two groups most likely to perpetrate fraud, and of the two groups, I can tell you from experience that the prolife group are the more wacked out.
But I really don't see fraud on that level happening on this particular election, or for that matter, on any election in this time period.
I am sure that historically there are instances of election fraud; no matter whether it is taking a test in a classroom or stealing something at a self-serve checkout counter or voter registration, there is always going to be a relatively small number of individuals that will try to cheat at anything.
And in some cases it may have made a difference.
But not in a 62% to 38% outcome, and if I had to bet on who the cheaters would be, I'd go with the prolife crowd.
(Donnie is even claiming that the prop 50 vote in Ca was "rigged." And that one was not close either.)
I wasn't old enough to form memories at the time, but Nixon versus Kennedy was about as close as it comes, and from what I have read, there may well have been some hanky-panky happening.
Gore versus W. Bush was closer than close.
And no one really knows what actually happened in Fl.
On a good day Fl is way too much like a 3rd world country, and in '00 with Katherine Harris as Sec Of State (in Fl) and Low Energy Jeb (Bush) for governor (in Fl), the first Tuesday in November of 2000 was not one of the good days there.
Can you imagine what Donnie would have done if he would have actually won the popular vote in '20 but had the Supreme Court declare Biden the winner?

I've no idea what Donald, or his supporters, would have done had he won the popular vote but had the Supreme Court dismiss it.
What I do know is that Biden got more votes than either Obama, Hillary or Kamala did in their runs at the POTUS.
That's incredibly unusual and worthy of pondering - particularly just the numbers themselves
I don't know much, or anything, about prolife or the counter to them - but it does seem like a rather sensitive issue that I wouldn't be running on up front and centre.

You brought that up before and at that time I explained that there was a record number of votes cast in that election so it only stood to reason that both parties would get more votes than their predecessors.
Donnie also got more popular votes in 2020 than President Obama got in '08, and I guess one could make the same case about that
That's incredibly unusual and worthy of pondering - particularly just the numbers themselves
unless one was to consider how many millions of more people actually voted in '20 than in '08. -

Considering that we voted to retain all three justices on the ballot by approximately 62% to 38%, there really isn't any point in you and Juan contesting the results.

my comment was more in line with contesting a general election.
i'm not contesting these results. they don't affect me outside of some precedents that are set in their courtroom and federal elections.
from my own personal experience, i think all elections at anything higher than the local level should be scrutinized. -

From a purely political perspective there are 19 electoral votes in play in Pa and it is a swing state and viable for both parties.
However, I don't see this last election as very important on a national level in the big scope of things. -

Right. I posted a thread for the Democratic victories in every state. For some reason this one really took off
And this is actually a perfect example of what Donnie The Diddler does best.
Juan seems convinced that the 24 point margin for retaining the three Pa state supreme court justices was due to election fraud.
Because he "heard" that Pa has a history of bogus vote counts.
Because in 2020 the count in Pa took an extended period of time.
Because Republican state lawmakers set the rules so that the count of the truly massive amount of mail in votes (which were mainly cast by Democrats) could not begin until 7 am on Tuesday morning. And I believe that the election workers were not allowed to even
prepare
that overwhelming amount of mail in votes for opening until 7 am on Tuesday.
And add to this that several counties (including the red county that I live in) did not start counting mail ins until Wednesday morning.
And it is a fact that the lion's share of mail ins was democrats
(because Donnie The Diddler specifically told his minions to vote in person and NOT by mail)
.
And before that Tuesday it was no secret that there was an enormous amount of mail in votes that were going to need to be counted; and since Donnie The Diddler had told his zombies NOT to vote by mail, everyone had a pretty good idea of where the voters who had cast those votes were leaning.
So the election workers in Pa were set up from the very beginning to look bad and the vote tabulation to appear questionable.
And Donnie The Diddler needed Pa (and a few other states) and he had the loudest voice in the room and he used it to tell everyone, over and over again, that the extended period of time it took to tabulate the mail in votes in Pa was because Democratic election workers were manufacturing votes.
And there were/are people who want(ed) to believe that.
This came up in a prior thread discussing trust in the vote tabulation in 2020 and Juan's reply was "csb." -

Donnie The Diddler won Pa in '16 and '24 and President Biden won it in '20.
I have been here since '92, and as I remember, even though it was always considered a swing state, Pa went blue for POTUS in every election from '92 until '16. Which is probably why Hillary took it for granted. But she did not lose it by a lot.
(Reagan obviously won it in '84, and I don't know whether Bush or Dukakis won it in '88, and I am not curious enough to do the google to find out.) -

Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin were always reliably blue. So was West ****ing Virginia! Ohio was always a swing state but it really isn't these days. But hopefully next year's Senate and gubernatorial race proves me wrong.
