The panel on Friday’s Morning Joe program was discussing the Arizona election audit when Scarborough suddenly began ranting incoherently about flag desecration, quoting Bible verses and insisting that anyone harboring doubts about the accuracy of last year’s election results is a threat to American democracy and should leave the country. President Joe Biden carried Wisconsin - a state former President Donald Trump won in 2016 by 22,750 votes over Clinton - by approximately 20,700 votes. Mr. Trump on the other hand has donated generously to Democratic Senator John Kerry in 2004, he’s also savaged past Republican Presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush.“ So, Mr. Rove, my question is this: Other than the fact that Mr. Trump has “savaged” the President that you worked for, among others, why is party loyalty such a good or important thing? But you also wrote this: “A longtime Republican who has toiled in the vineyards can expect loyalty for having given it. If you produce a witness, you can vote either by paper ballot or on the machines. This is actually so she can reduce her workload by marking the cases as solved. But the more I got into it, the more back then looks like now only worse.
They differ in big ways, no doubt about it, Election Audit but imagine a system in which everybody could organize around personalities, single issues, and highly developed and very narrow ideologies. He’s one of their better ones,” Sterling said on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.” “I was going through the Twitter feed on it, and I saw it basically had the young man’s name - it was a very unique name, so they tracked down his family and started harassing them. Every one of those elections was settled with a winner taking a plurality, a minority of the vote. One of those elections involved a five-month long dispute about the outcome in Florida. The election of 1896, while acknowledged by political scientists to be one of the five great realignment elections in American history, we spend more time talking about the guy who lost the election, William Jennings Bryan, and the guy who follows McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, than we talk about the guy who actually brought about this election victory and whose subsequent administration ushered in a 36-year period of Republican dominance. The American political system is crap.” For people who feel that way - and there seem to be quite a few - talk to me about the ways in which it was different or worse.
There was no telegraph; there was no telegram. There are questions about who is funding the audit. A post-election audit is different from a recount, which happens when there are a small number of votes separating the candidates or when requested by a candidate. Senate audit liaison and former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett says that they are doubling the number of counters and expanding to three shifts a day instead of two. And the way the Founding Fathers devised it was that each state would have a number of electors that was proportional both to their Senate clout - which was equal by state - and to their population - which was the number of Congressmen. New Hampshire, and every state between it and Canada, used the same machine and the same ballot. The votes on such portion of the ballot shall not be counted for any candidate listed or written in such portion, but the remainder of the votes in other portions of the ballot shall be counted. In other words, 0.07 percent of the ballot envelopes were not legally sufficient to count the ballots they contained.
The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee filed a motion Nov. 5 to intervene in an Arizona lawsuit that raises issues with the use of Sharpies on ballots in Maricopa County and other regions of the state. DUBNER: From what you’ve written, I gather that you are not a big Donald Trump fan, although that may be evolving. They may appear to favor Biden or Trump, depending on when a state counts early ballots, then shift toward the other candidate later. In the longer term, though, states may find cost savings if audits make expensive recounts less common. Every election year has so-called “battleground states” and their importance comes to the forefront. And sometimes they tend to share a great commonality when it comes to the public agenda. Now maybe it’s good that Italy topples its governments with great regularity, but I think it fundamentally undermines the confidence of the people in the system of government and in the system of democracy and in the system of the economy, as well. And that’s one of the great things about our two-party system. FakeNews says, we WON our case: 1-1. “Discovery” was granted; irregularities were uncovered (no one believed it could be done).
