I just want to expand on that a bit. Once you have political parties and those entities are given some control over how votes are conducted, it's an evolutionary inevitability that the party (parties) which exercise the most effective control over the vote will get more of it's members in office, gain MORE control over the voting process, and survive and thrive. So unless laws are written which specifically bar those manipulative activities, and policies are in place that ENSURE that voters are represented it will be the law of the jungle. Political parties seeking to take advantage? In a way, they're just fulfilling their purpose.

And in a sense, I don't blame either party for doing what they do: Our laws set the "environment" by rewarding some behaviors and dis-incentivising others. The parties are only doing what they're incentivised to do; it's an inevitable response given the situation.

Provisional Ballot Boxes Discovered Inside AVIS Rental Car At Ft. Lauderdale Airport

Provisional ballot boxes from the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office were reportedly discovered in the back of an AVIS rental car at Fort Lauderdale Airport on Sunday night, as first reported by investigative journalist Laura Loomer.

Attorney and Broward GOP State Committeeman Richard DeNapoli says he received a call from an AVIS employee informing him of the found ballot boxes after sheriff's deputies were initially unwilling to investigate. Approximately 20 minutes after receiving the tip, however, a heavy police presence arrived and blocked off traffic to the airport, and a bomb threat was announced.

Pictures taken at the scene show two boxes. One box is red, and the other is grey. The grey box is labeled "PROVISIONAL BALLOT BOX" with a sign that says "Broward County Supervisor of Elections", a purple tag that says "ERT region 13", and a backwards yellow tag with a seven digit numerical and five letter code. -Laura Loomer

DeNapoli says that the car was rented to a man by the name of Noah Holliman.

...

Sunday evening, the Broward County Sheriff's Office tweeted "Our deputies and bomb squad are responding to a report of a suspicious package outside @FLLFlyer Terminal 4," only later to tweet an "all-clear."

Loomer says that when she attempted to make her way to the airport, she was blocked by an officer. She then told the public that "Broward County Sheriff's Officers were on the scene filling out a police report and documenting the ballots."

Florida Politico Lauren Cooley also rushed to the scene, saying (via Laura Loomer):

"The AVIS employee didn't know what to do. No one wanted to touch the boxes or take responsibility for them. Finally, sheriffs deputies agreed to take the provisional ballot boxes into their custody. It's an odd situation when supervisor of elections (SOE) employees are so careless with important election materials, but its becoming a trend in Broward County."

Meanwhile, DeNapoli added the following in an emailed statement to Loomer:

"The way it went down: rental agency guy contacted me because he saw my name on Florida GOP website as contact for Broward County. He said he spoke with some Sheriffs Deputy Personnel at the airport but they seemed disinterested in getting involved. I contacted some friends in law enforcement who got the FDLE involved. After I arrived at the airport, FDLE contacted Broward Sheriff Jeremey Hansen who came to the Avis at the Fort Lauderdale airport. They interviewed me and the AVIS employee and took the boxes into evidence."

Loomer notes that "while the "media" was in Terminal 4 reporting on a non-existent bomb threat that was literally tweeted from the official Twitter account of the Broward Sheriffs Office. Meanwhile, there was never a bomb."

"The FBI needs to kick in the door, interview all board of election employees, shutter the Broward County elections offices, seize all the ballots and put a stop to the Democrats disrupting the elections," said GOP operative Ali Alexander with StopTheSteal - a campaign established to collect intelligence and document alleged election malfeasance amid the Florida ballot controversies.

"This is a bigger story than we could have ever imagined and Floridians and the entire country demand answers."

Mueller’s Team Continues Their Humiliation at the Hands of a Russian Oligarch

Is an indictment enough for you to change your tune about no proof? Or will convincing you require Trump sending an Army into Russia to capture the people indicted so that they can go to trial in America? I'm pretty sure Trump won't be giving that order to the Pentagon because Trump wants 6ix to keep on saying there is no proof.

12 Russian GRU officers of Russia’s military intelligence service were charged with crimes related to the hacking and leaking of leading Democrats’ emails in 2016.

13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

An "indictment" is an accusation, not a conviction.

Of the entities indicted, one demanded its day in court. Now, part of the process is that you have to show the evidence against the indicted individual, but when Concord (the company in question) demanded to see the evidence, Mueller choked ....

Florida Early Voting ends by Sunday before Election Tuesday.
Florida State Law requires that all Early Voting ballot totals must be reported 30 minutes after polls closed on Tuesday (not to be confused with posting specific vote totals accurately 30 minutes before Voting polls are actually closed).
For the past week, the 2 Fraudulent Counties have continued to "find" early voting Ballots, which amazingly are only votes for Dems.

Are you really gullible enough to find this non-suspicious?

They were bemoaning that Trump was tweeting about "election fraud" in Florida which was making people "lose faith" in our voting system,

1) Have they forgotten the past two years when they harped ENDLESSLY about RUSSIA!!! ? If "faith" is so important to them, do they not recognize that THEIR actions might make people "lose faith" as well? Apparently not!

2) In any case "faith" is what the Catholic Church wants for you when it tells you that it protects little boys and girls. Asking you to have "faith" is like asking you to close your eyes and bend over. Our election processes should't NEED "faith" ... they should be able to withstand harsh, skeptical, forensic, open scrutiny.

So far, they fail the test. There are literally DOZENS of ways that our elections can be more secure and more robust. Why haven't they been undertaken? Why is NPR appealing to "faith" instead of "verify"?

Federal prosecutors reviewing altered election documents tied to Florida Democrats

The Florida Department of State last week asked federal prosecutors to investigate dates that were changed on official state election documents, the first voting “irregularities” it has flagged in the wake of the 2018 elections.

The concerns, which the department says can be tied to the Florida Democratic Party, center around date changes on forms used to fix vote-by-mail ballots sent with incorrect or missing information. Known as “cure affidavits,” those documents used to fix mail ballots were due no later than 5 p.m. on Nov. 5 — the day before the election. But affidavits released on Tuesday by the DOS show that documents from four different counties said the ballots could be returned by 5 p.m. on Thursday, which is not accurate.

Audio of a Florida Democratic Party caller leaving a voicemail message asking a Palm Beach County voter to fix their vote by mail ballot after Election Day, which is not allowed, was also sent to POLITICO separately. It was not part of the information turned over to federal prosecutors.

Among the counties in question is Broward, which emerged as the epicenter of controversy as three statewide races and three local legislative races went into recounts following the Nov. 6 elections. Republicans have pointed to embattled Broward Elections chief Brenda Snipes' record of past election gaffes in arguing that the largely Democratic country is tilted against them — perhaps fraudulently so.

DOS officials have repeatedly told the media that the monitors they sent to Broward County saw no election fraud. It wasn't until Tuesday that the office revealed publicly that it had turned over information to federal prosecutors.

The information was sent on Nov. 9 by Bradley McVay, DOS’ interim general counsel, who asked that the altered dates be investigated.

“Altering a form in a manner that provides the incorrect date for a voter to cure a defect … imposes a burden on the voter significant enough to frustrate the voter’s ability to vote,” McVay wrote in a letter that was sent Nov. 9 and released publicly on Tuesday. The letter was sent to U.S. Attorneys Christopher P. Canova of the Northern District of Florida, Maria Chapa Lopez of the Middle District of Florida and Ariana Fajardo Orshan in the Southern District of Florida.

The records released by DOS, which is part of Gov. Rick Scott’s administration, point the finger at the Florida Democratic Party. Political parties can get daily lists of people who had their mail-in ballots rejected. Political parties — or anyone else — can also get the publicly available cure affidavits and send them to voters who had a mail-in ballot rejected to encourage them to fix the ballots.

In an email chain released as part of the Department of State's Tuesday document dump, Citrus County Supervisor of Elections Susan Gill last week told DOS officials that a voter who received one of the cure affidavits with the wrong date had also received a call from a number identified as the Tallahassee office of the Florida Democratic Party, an indication the party was reaching out about her vote by mail ballot.

"When I called it, it is the Democratic Party of Florida," she said in a Nov. 8 email to DOS officials.

She went on to write that she thinks the incorrect date was used because whoever sent the cure affidavit mixed up the deadline for cure affidavits with the deadline for provisional ballots. But, she said, "a bigger problem is the fact they actually changed one of the DOE forms."

That change to an official election form was what state officials turned over to federal prosecutors.

Another email included in the DOS document dump included correspondence from Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Paul Lux, who also said he believed the affidavits were from the Florida Democratic Party.

"Please pass the word to the FDP that they can't arbitrarily add their own deadline to your form or VBM cures!!" Lux emailed DOS officials on Nov. 9. "This is crazy!"

In a Tuesday interview with POLITICO, Lux said he received an email from someone sending a cure affidavit marked with the wrong date that included a Florida Democratic Party email address. The email does contain the email address votes@FloridaDems.org, which is associated with the party.

Caroline Rowland, an FDP spokesperson, brushed off the issue, saying the Scott administration’s election office was drumming it up as a distraction.

"The courts have already forced Rick Scott to drop a lawsuit after false claims of fraud, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement rejected his desperate attempts to interfere with the important work of counting ballots,” she said in an email. “Now, Scott is once again trying to divert attention and resources from a smooth and successful recount."

The Ring of Fire, published Nov. 13, 2018

Republicans are trying desperately to stop the counting of ballots in the state of Florida because with every new batch of ballots that come in, their leads get smaller. Governor Rick Scott is trying to hang on to the Senate seat that he allegedly won last week and he attempted to sue the state to stop the counting of ballots on the grounds that the election was filled with fraud. A judge this week smacked down Scott’s claims saying there was no evidence to back them up. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Link – https://thinkprogress.org/florida-jud...]

http://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2018/11/13/mainstream-media-parrots-t
rump-s-baseless-claims-regarding-florida-recounts/222059

Following news that Florida Senate and gubernatorial races would be heading to recounts, many mainstream media outlets reported on President Donald Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the Florida election, but failed to note in their tweets and headlines that the accusations were baseless.

A state judge presiding over a lawsuit regarding the Florida recount has noted that there is zero evidence of voter fraud, election tampering, or misconduct by election officials or workers. Miami Herald previously reported that state election observers have seen no evidence of criminal activity or election tampering in Broward County, where the controversial election supervisor has drawn criticism for alleged incompetence during the midterm elections.

Despite a lack of evidence, Trump took to Twitter to push conspiracy theories about the Florida elections, calling ballots “massively infected,” accusing Democrats of trying to “steal two big elections in Florida,” and baselessly claiming that “many ballots are missing or forged.”

Covering a president who frequently repeats lies has proven to be a challenge for the media since the beginning of Trump’s presidency, with many outlets publishing headlines and tweets that report his statements but fail to note their inaccuracies. Repeating the president’s claims in headlines without giving proper context only spreads Trump’s lies and causes confusion, which is particularly detrimental during coverage of elections and undermines faith in the country’s democratic institutions. It also sets media outlets up as easy targets for Trump to manipulate, allowing him to more easily spread his dishonesty and lies.

While the article headline emphasized the lack of evidence in Trump’s claims, the tweet did not. Though ABC later issued a follow-up tweet including the phrase “without evidence,” the original tweet received a lot more retweets.
