Election Tampering, irregularities, etc.

.

Surprisingly, while there are numerous threads touching on specific elections in a given year it appears there is no thread that covers election fraud/disenfranchisement/irregularities as a general topic.

Given the recent shenanigans in NY it may be a good time to start one.

Interesting how certain token/self-identified 'liberals' are ingesting/reacting to this news. A non-Republican, non-orange-haired candidate claiming the voting process is flawed, after so much energy was dedicated towards promoting the sanctity of our democratic process.

Of course this now opens the door for Trump and his fanbase to chime in and further widen the divide between each misinformed/conditioned faction.

Anyway, there's plenty of newsfeeds to choose from. I'll start with Yahoo News, extracted from the Washington Examiner. Generic, standard establishment news source.

Eric Adams asks judge to review ballots after ranked-choice snafu in NYC primary


Eric Adams filed a lawsuit asking a judge to review the ballots in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary one day after the city’s board of elections acknowledged releasing erroneous preliminary results from its new ranked-choice voting system.

“Today we petitioned the court to preserve our right to a fair election process and to have a judge oversee and review ballots, if necessary,” the Adams campaign said in a statement. “We invite the other campaigns to join us and petition the court as we all seek a clear and trusted conclusion to this election.”

The lawsuit, filed in Kings County Supreme Court, comes in response to inaccurate results released Tuesday showing mayoral candidate Kathryn Garcia coming within 2.2 percentage points of Adams, whose tallies showed a significant lead since election night.

Shortly after numbers were released, reporters and campaign staffers raised their eyebrows at the updated results. According to the update, roughly 135,000 more votes were counted than on election night on June 22.

Three hours later, the Board of Elections took down the numbers and released a statement explaining the discrepancy.

“The Board apologizes for the error and has taken immediate measures to ensure the most accurate up to date results are reported,” the board said in a statement.

The error sparked criticism from both sides of the aisle, particularly from those who oppose ranked-choice voting.

“Today’s mistake by the Board of Elections was unfortunate,” Adams said in a statement Tuesday night. “It is critical that New Yorkers are confident in their electoral system, especially as we rank votes in a citywide election for the first time.”

Many different issues can be raised here -- including (yes) the dubious results of the 2020 election.

But for now, 2 items to place here. First, a reference to another thread:

Diebold voting machines can be hacked by remote control
Thread started in 2011.


And this certainly qualifies for inclusion here as well:

in 2016 the democrats ran this op of a nomination process where news reported, before a single vote had been cast, that hillary clinton already held a nearly insurmountable lead in superdelegates. bernie would've had to win with like 60% in every primary.

bernie supporters (i was one) shrieked the whole way about how unfair it was. media and party elites were openly conspiring to subvert the democratic process. after they succeeded, something like 90% of bernie supporters voted hillary in the general (i was not one). because trump.

the party's nomination process was shown to be, well, fake, and fake in a way that couldn't be said about previous election cycles. the process had been structured in a way that gave party insiders (if they untied) sole determination of the presidential nominee, voters be damned.

bernie supporters naturally spent four years gearing up for round 2. in a shocking turn of events, that nomination process was also fake. the field was flooded with unviable candidates who all dutifully threw their support behind biden days before super tuesday.

just warren stayed in, she split the left, and that was that. none of this would've mattered anyway, by 2020 bernie had lost most of his working class rural supporters to trump, and they were the key part of bernie's 2016 coalition. by 2020, only "activists" were left.

fake as it was, the 2020 process still featured actual primary elections. party insiders would've overruled any result they didn't like and sober observers could see that biden harris had been a fait accompli all along, but they still needed a patina of democracy to make it work.

so it's not really surprising at all that the party would finally just do away with the voting part, simply declare who the nominee is. what's weird is that ordinary democrats don't seem to mind at all. they don't really WANT a say in it.

harris, since narrowly winning the california AG race in 2010, has not REALLY won anything. the fix was in for her senate seat, she dropped out before iowa in 2020 likely because the fix was in for the eventual vp nod, and now she's been handed the presidential nomination.

she's vacuous, insincere, cloying, neither a skilled orator nor a noteworthy legislator, her ascent is the product of skilled maneuvering within the party infrastructure, she bypassed democracy. with no real record to speak of, she'll run on wall to wall divisive identity stuff.

i couldn't think of a better democratic nominee for 2024.

This certainly qualifies for Caveat Lector, in part due to the self-descriptions of the Twitter handle/user that posted this.

A Swiss billionaire, who lives in Wyoming, Johann Georg Wyss has ties to shooter Crooks, but also had ties to Maui police chief John Pelletier, who, with the FBI, covered up the Lahaina fires, AND, was the commander of the Las Vegas mass shooting massacre, who along with the FBI stonewalled his own department, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the mayor. But it doesn’t stop there, he actually meet with the ‘Las Vegas shooter’ Stephen Paddock (CIA asset) in Paso Robles, CA multiple times over a two year period. Also meeting one month before the Las Vegas shooting at an Indian casino in Solvang, CA, Chumash Casino. He has illegally donated hundreds of millions illegally to the Democrats.

More on Johann Georg Wyss/Hansjörg Wyss from Wikipedia:
Johann Georg Wyss known as Hansjörg Wyss (born 19 September 1935) is a Swiss billionaire businessman and donor to politically liberal and environmental causes in the United States. He is the founder and the former president and chairman of Synthes Holding AG, a medical device manufacturer. His Wyss Foundation has more than $2 billion in assets. As of 2023, Wyss had a net worth of US$4.7 billion, according to Forbes.[1] Having donated hundreds of millions of dollars to environmental causes, he has more recently increased his donations to groups promoting progressive causes. He is currently the co-owner of Premier League football club Chelsea.[2]



A NYTimes article:

Swiss Billionaire Quietly Becomes Influential Force Among Democrats

Hansjörg Wyss, who recently dropped his bid to buy Tribune Publishing, has been a leading source of difficult-to-trace money to groups associated with Democrats.


And the NY Post:

https://nypost.com/2021/05/08/swiss-bil ... elections/

He’s the foreign billionaire you’ve never heard of and he’s using his vast fortune to help sway US elections.

Reclusive Swiss-born Hansjörg Wyss, 85, who lives in Wyoming, gave $208 million over four years from his non-profits to other groups that backed Democrats and progressive causes, The New York Times reported.

Wyss does not appear to be a citizen or permanent legal resident of the US, which prohibits him from donating directly to political campaigns. Federal Election Commission records show he made such contributions until 2003 and then his donations disappeared.

“You don’t see his name show up in FEC filings but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he hasn’t poured hundreds of millions of dollars into influencing US politics or policy,” said Anna Massoglia, an investigative researcher with the Center for Responsive Politics, a government transparency group in Washington, DC.
