Paper ballots

Iowa continues to sink into the swamp trying to get the counts done.

At this point, how can anyone believe any numbers coming out of there?

The national Democratic Party chairman just demanded a complete recanvas.

Can we get UN observers on the ground?

I know. Very discouraging. Meanwhile Truthdig is cautioning that Bernie will be scr*wed out of CA again. I used to be naive and believe what the news told me. Both political parties are changing that.

Here's a fun thing to look at:

How many people "voted", that is, expressed a preference at this amazing caucus process?

What is the margin of "victory" right now?

Why does the nation put up with this nonsense?

Pete and Bernie in a near tie (Pete ahead by .1%) with 97% counted, and NOW they are going to recount everything. I'm sorry I'm not particularly prone to giving into paranoia (uh reporting on what is discussed in MAINSTREAM MEDIA is just that, if someone thinks every mainstream media source out there is Russian asset, I can't help them).

Before this latest: I would have said something like "the delay is suspicious as heck, but the paper trail is encouraging, the conflict of interests with Shadow should not be there and are unseemly seeming but probably aren't a smoking gun ..."

But now. Screw it. I'm just going to say, it's rigged, rigged, rigged, rigged as a ship, rigged as an oil rig.

"You know, comrades, that I think in regard to this: I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how."

I don’t know about that. It would be too flagrant for a good rigging.

I think Hanlon’s Razor can be applied here.

As someone who underwrites technology errors & omissions and data breach insurance I agree with this 100%.

Republican operatives added to the confusion by jamming phone lines. What was the point of that kind of sabotage? Practice, I guess.

Jp this did not load for me.

Maybe this will help. This is at original size so it's still a little hard to read, at least for my old eyes.

wait, what? I didnt get my orders to call those Iowa phone lines. Did “they” (the giant conspiracy ) skip me purposely?

Alan, did you receive your orders to f-k up Iowa’s election reports?

I will ask my brother in Iowa if he participated in that. But as a never-Trumper, he may not be considered a real Republican by the Iowa Republican party so they may have skipped him as well.So many questions coming out of that Iowa experience.

And today we all move on to NH. Jeppy are you up for it?
