Still counting votes three weeks later!
UPDATE: If reported numbers from the Hart camp are correct, the unofficial totals from Scott (26), Jasper (9), and Clinton (1) would put Hart in the lead by "one" vote. One vote! Put over the top by the late reporting counties (as it always is). That makes the issue with Scott county attempting to include increase their overall count by 131 more ballots than they had on election night a pretty big problem that needs to be settled.
Iowa 02 - Miller-Meeks + 35 (unofficial)
- Miller Meeks - 196,880 (+18 since beginning of recount)
- Hart - 196,845 (+30 since beginning of recount)
Johnson County (the liberal bastion of this district) completed their recount last night. They added five votes for Hart and two for Miller Meeks, which was a net gain of three votes for Hart. Johnson County make up about 20% of the district and went over 2-1 for Hart.
Scott County (one of the few counties that Hart won) had not officially reported numbers as of yesterday, but unofficially the rumor is that Hart might have picked up
Clinton was another county that had not completed their counts, but their count had only netted one extra vote for Hart so far, as they started to recount the mail in ballots. Mail in ballots should not be where you find under or overvotes as those are checked by hand. Jasper appears to be the last remaining county (based on this latest tweet from this morning).
Jasper is a medium size county (about 20,000 votes) and was a county that went for Miller-Meeks. Rumors are (however) that Hart may have picked up some votes (9 is the unofficial number) there as well. Funny how all of the late reporting counties end up favorable to the Democrat... again?
UPDATE: The actual report from Scott County is that their hand recount shows 131 more votes than recorded in the county's canvas of votes. This means one of two things:
- That the judge will not accept their new recount totals and make them start over (or reject their hand counts in favor of the original machine counts).
- Or that once again, there will be a margin of victory (probably less than five votes either way) that is tainted by odd recount totals in one particular county.
Imagine for a second that the Democrat Hart wins a hand recount by one or two votes where over half of his total new votes come from one county that did not follow the instructions of the Iowa election officials and ended up with a recounted vote total that has 131 more votes than they started with?
Wouldn't that just be sooooo 2020!

Scott get over it.
The American people have decided that they want Joe Biden to be the president of the United States.
Quote of the Day
12:15 pm EST
“I don’t get it… All these other Republicans, all over the country, they all win their races. And I’m the only guy that loses?”
— President Trump, quoted by Politico.

Sunday night conservative firebrand Bill Cunningham (who calls himself "the Great American" and whom I normally cannot stand to listen to) was amusing me by ranting and raving about the election.
His thesis was that it was absolutely IMPOSSIBLE that Trump could have won against Hillary Clinton in 2016 and yet lose to Biden in 2020 although Trump got eleven million votes more than in the first election. Also impossible that Biden got so many millions of votes!
No, Bill. Not impossible. Here's why:
In the first election, both Hillary and Trump were running with strong disapproval ratings, yet so many polls were saying that Hillary was going to win anyway that practically everyone, including Trump himself, thought she WOULD win. For that reason, a lot of people who did not much like Hillary didn't bother to vote, thinking she would win anyway. If they had known that Trump actually had a chance of winning, they would have voted for Hillary just to keep that from happening.
In the second election, millions upon millions upon millions of Americans were absolutely DISGUSTED WITH and even FEARFUL OF another Trump presidency, so they turned out to vote in overwhelming numbers AGAINST him!
Polls have revealed that very, very many who voted FOR Biden were actually voting even more AGAINST Trump.
That explains it, Mr. Great American.

And btw, in the first election, Trump did not manage to win the popular vote.
Trump Cancels Trip to Gettysburg
11:14 am
President Trump has canceled a planned trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to stage a media spectacle around his false accusations of voter fraud, Politico reports.

OH, I am just SO disappoointed!!! That would have been such entertainment-- the Trump clown and the Giuliani clown both trying to defend the indefensible, both trying to espouse evidence where the courts have said there isn't any!
His advisers finally convinced him what a disaster THAT would have been.
Yep, I was really looking forward to being that royally entertained...
but there's still plenty more entertainment going on elsewhere.

The Healer in Chief, Barack Obama: Hispanics Who Voted for Trump Are Racists
