| The Real Kraken: What Really Happened to Donald Trump in the 2020 Election |
| 2020-12-03 |
| BLUF: [PJ] What happened in 2020 is something more fundamental and profound. What happened in 2020 is cultural and systemic, and sadly, generally legal. Until Republicans, and more importantly Trump supporters, understand what happened to them this year, it will happen again. Two things happened in 2020. First, COVID led to a dismantling of state election integrity laws by everyone except the one body with the constitutional prerogative to change the rules of electing the president — the state legislatures. Second, the Center for Technology and Civic Life happened. If you are focused on goblins in the voting machines but don’t know anything about the CTCL and what they did to defeat Donald Trump, it’s time to up your game. The Center for Technology and Civic Life and allied groups are responsible for building an urban get-out-the-vote-machine of the sort that Democrats could only dream up on a bender fueled by jugs of Merlot and all the legalized pot they could smoke. The Capital Research Center has this deep dive into what the Center for Technology and Civil Life did in just Georgia. It starts with this:
...What these grants did was build structural bias into the 2020 election where structural bias matters most — in densely populated urban cores. It converted election offices in key jurisdictions with deep reservoirs of Biden votes into Formula One turnout machines. The hundreds of millions of dollars built systems, hired employees from activist groups, bought equipment and radio advertisements. It did everything that street activists could ever dream up to turn out Biden votes if only they had unlimited funding. In 2020, they had unlimited funding because billionaires made cash payments to 501(c)(3) charities that in turn made cash payments to government election offices. Flush with hundreds of millions in new cash, government election offices turned those donations into manpower, new equipment, and street muscle to turn often sluggish and incompetent urban election offices into massive Biden turnout machines across the country — in Madison, Milwaukee, Detroit, Lansing, Philadelphia, and Atlanta among dozens of others. |

| #4 It appears that Trump won the election on election night when the polls closed. The Dems pushed mail-in voting very hard. They pushed the deadlines back in many battleground states by hypin CV-19; often by blue state governors and local election officials. The Dems pushed "every vote" to be counted. Many of these mail-in votes appear to be manufactured as needed and inserted into the election results. It also appears that one person = one vote was circumvented by ratio voting in the voting machines. The chain of custody of the vote was broken in these states. The vote could not be verified as legitimate. As #3 said. "So many good ways to be bad." It appears that all the stops were pulled out in all battleground states. The Fatlady has not yet sung. |

| #2 And rather than or, I think. All the things were done because the Democrats started panicking about a Trump win long before Election Day itself — today we also have testimony of the gentleman who drove at least 130,000 vote ballots from New York to Pennsylvania, where his trailer disappeared overnight from the spot he’d been ordered to leave it. So yes, this is important, but so is the pre-jiggering to weight Biden votes by 1.3 and unweight Trump votes by 0.7, yielding vote totals that are not integers; dumping vote counts into the system that happened much faster than actual ballots could have been voted; local postal workers throwing out ballots mailed to and received from Republican voters; Biden votes being physically tallied while Trump votes were not, or were tallied for Biden; ballots voted by dead people, by people who no longer lived there, fake voters, some from fake addresses, double voting by the same real voter... So many organized themselves to do what they could in their little sphere to fix the problem of Trump voters daring to put their hands up in large numbers in addition to the semi-legal donation of massive amounts of money by people to whom those numbers are spare change. |

| #1 So, it was the old-fashioned, true-blue American $$$$ (OK, the money may've come from China) and not computer shenanigans? |
