    Don't assume that Biden is going to be the winner. there is a lot of fraud being uncovered.

    I doubt any of these lawsuits will be successful.

    Sidney Powell seems confident. Trump filled a lot of Federal Judges in 4 years. Now the Republicans can judge shop like the Democreeps have for years

    Trump lost. If there was evidence of fraud that wasn't complete BS, it would have been submitted to courts by now.

    Also, if the democrats were going to pull off a massive voter fraud effort, wouldn't they rig some house and senate seats in the process?

    Republican leadership said the same thing about 2016 and closed down the commission that was supposed to determine if there are ways to combat it.

    Wouldn't it be funny if they scheduled an execution for Inauguration Day?
    Violence and death seem to be the only answers that some people understand.

    Voter fraud has been a fact of life, probably since the Greeks invented democracy and ballot voting back in the sixth century B.C. That's 2,600 years for fraudsters to hone their craft. Even when cheating isn't necessary, people still do it. For example, look at Illinois: voter fraud is rampant, from federal elections down to local "dogcatcher" elections, despite the fact that the outcome is very seldom in doubt.

    I see two big factors which prevent true voting reform:

    1. It's almost impossible to reform a system that draws votes from an essentially open environment. Hell, despite centuries of improving, single-store retail accounting systems still can't prevent major insider thefts. Even banking systems can't prevent embezzlement 100%. It may be possible to reform voting systems, but we'll never get to a "count every valid ballot; discard every invalid ballot" mantra. We could get closer to that standard than we have today, but we'll never be 100% there.

    2. There's no incentive for the powers-that-be to reform the system. The party that's in control wants to keep that control; the party that's out wants to get in power. Either side could stand to benefit from voter fraud. And we voters are too disorganized as a group to do anything about voting reform. State voting systems are over a century old and have never been reformed; instead, they've been patched repeatedly to fit new circumstances. I don't see that a federal, one-size-fits-all would do any better than our state-level organizations. Even if it weren't unconstitutional to implement a federal law.

    I was an election judge in Illinois for 20 years. I resigned after I couldn't take the corruption any more.

    Yeah, I'm cynical. But my cynicism comes from years of experience.

    Trump Trying To Bring Back Firing-Squad Executions Before He Leaves Office, Report Says

    BY EMILY BROWN
    UNILAD

    A newly released report by ProRepublica addressed a number of policies Trump is apparently rushing to introduce, bring back or set in motion before he loses control over the country.

    The rules reportedly range from ‘long-simmering administration priorities to last-minute scrambles’, and affect everything from seemingly insignificant objects like showerheads to life-or-death issues such as federal executions.

    With less than two months left in power, it seems Trump is attempting to make the most of it as his proposed policy changes impact the entire spectrum of US residents, from oil drillers and drugmakers to people living in homeless shelters and endangered wildlife.

    Among the proposals being rushed through the finalisation process is one which could reintroduce firing squads and electrocutions to federal executions.

    The report states that the Justice Department is fast-tracking the proposal to try and give the government more options for administering capital punishment as the drugs typically used in lethal injections become unavailable.

    The proposal initially surfaced in August, after which the Justice Department opened it up for public comments for just 30 days, rather than the usual 60. The rule cleared White House review on November 6, meaning it could be finalised any day.

    However, even if the rule is finalised, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be put into practice. The Trump administration is planning five executions with lethal injection before January 20, but Biden has indicated that he won’t allow any federal executions, and that he will push to eliminate capital punishment for federal crimes.

    Time is up for requesting a warrant for 10 of the 13 inmates whose appeals have exhausted.

    Only James H. Roane, Richard Tipton and Jeffery William Paul can be still be scheduled up until Dec 24.
