Can you imagine what the Secret Service are going to make of these goombahs?

Did people vote twice? Probably not? But it remains ...

Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month’s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.

Democrat Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly prevailed in Detroit and Wayne County.

Russian hacking? ;) :D

I think the important question comes in a time of crisis. Who is ultimately responsible for protecting the President? Who makes the final call? Who makes the first call for that matter? Does the Secret Service have to bring this team in and basically divulge secrets to them?

Didn't someone post an article earlier showing that basically all of those overcounts were by 1 to 4 votes, which basically means human error?

The SS has statutory authority which IINM precludes Trump from hiring some Comic Condotierri. Those fools would just get in the way and make everything ten times more complicated than it has to be. Donald is about to find out l'état, ce n'est pas lui.

It's right in the article geezer linked, as well as a large number of precincts with similar undercounts.

It's an interesting story but being ignored nationally. Michigan wasn't nearly as close as it was certified initially. Most of the people in Detroit seem to have voted multiple times.

You're now the third righty in the past two weeks to post this story. The Detroit News had an earlier version which reported that the vast majority of the machines were off by 2 or fewer votes, and tended to occur in districts where the machines are very old because the city does not have the money for new ones - so they jam constantly, and have to be backed out, and have the jammed ballot run through again. Very easy for simple human error to occur there.

But no, it's all a CONSPIRACY!!11!!!1 :rolleyes:

Interesting, we had an attempted faithless elector in Minnesota. But NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND!
Most states with laws aimed at preventing faithless electors rely on small fines to ensure the electors follow the will of voters in their states. One exception, however, is in Minnesota, where the state’s Faithful Elector Act instead simply bars electors from going rogue at all. Here’s the statue in question: “Except as otherwise provided by law of this state other than this chapter, the secretary of state may not​ accept and may not count either an elector’s presidential or vice-presidential ballot if the elector has not​ marked both ballots or has marked a ballot in violation of the elector’s pledge.​” And so if an elector tries to go off script, the secretary of state simply tosses his or her vote and then allows an alternate elector to do the job.

Why is that important? Well, because Minnesota elector Muhammad Abdurrahman attempted to go faithless today and cast his ballot for someone other than Hillary Clinton, who won the state. According to Minnesota Public Radio News, state officials did not make the contents of his ballot public.

Can the POTUS issue an executive order to override that? Or does statutory authority preclude that? What if he insists on it? How do you stop his golem-like insanity?

Donald is about to find out l'état, ce n'est pas lui.

My heart hopes Don will figure that out, my head knows better.

Is that a well-known line from something or are you just flexing your knowledge of Freedom language? I had to translate it.
 
Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: Lefties whining and regurgitating fake news

When events occur which show just how important good diplomacy will be and how many lives are directly affected, I really hope Trump surprises us all and performs well. I will gladly eat crow if he somehow becomes an effective leader.

It's a joke on this. Louis XIV was asked by a parliametarian "but what about the needs of the state?" and was alleged to have said "letat, c'est a moi." ("The state is ME.") It became a shorthand for the period of Divine Right and the idea of the King as the absolute ruler.

In reality, it is very unlikely he said anything of the kind, because real life is no fun.

There's a difference between "effective" leadership and "positive" leadership.

Every dictator in history has been "effective" for at least a period of time.

I will dedicate my life to eating a (whatever this is) full of crow if Don becomes an effective, just, and benevolent leader.

He (or she) did. Minnesota's would have been the second today. Our laws kind of suck after you read Federalist 68. Smerconish has been having a two-week long debate on 68. It's been an interesting discussion.
