Recount Recap NY-22 - Like watching a tennis match

Republican Claudia Tenney back in the lead after revision of final count

UPDATE: Judge orders all counties to provide a FINAL final count by 4:00 today and much like a math professor he is also demanding that all counties "show their work" by producing any notes, spreadsheets, or any calculations as to how and why vote counts have been changed. 

The order is being described as "scathing" and it appears to suggest that the judge believes  that at least some counties are attempting to hold back information or otherwise attempting to make calculated last minute changes to alter the outcome. He has also produced a 48 hour deadline on any new legal challenges to be considered.  

He is apparently not holding another hearing until December 7th, which is actually the deadline for NY certification. So it appears that he is fed up with dealing with the counties, plans no more in person hearings allowing them to bicker and argue regarding who is more incompetent, and it certainly looks like that court date will likely be to announce a final decision. 


The Judge is supposed to have some sort of hearing today and is tasked to rule on ballots that cannot be found and others that have no explanation as to why they were challenged. Meanwhile, the vote total flipped back to the Republican, who now leads by 12 votes in the unofficial final tally. 

As of today, the Tenney campaign is pushing for the counties to certify the results, while Brindisi is hoping to delay the process for at least 24 hours. There is some argument that Brindisi can still ask for a full recanvassing/recount "after" the votes have been certified. Tomorrow is December and apparently we might be "starting" a recount for an election that is nearly four weeks old? 

Anyone who still feels that our problems with elections have more to do with the ability of the public to properly vote than the ability of our election officials to properly count is missing the boat. The election reform we need right now has to do with what happens "after" the votes have been cast, not before.

Look at PA. their SC said the lawsuit was brought to late as the law was months and months, but couldn’t bring a suit until you could there damages. If that’s not a catch 22, what is?

That is the inherent problem with election lawsuits that might suggest fraud or tampering. Because of the timing between the election and certification, you have no time for what a normal lawsuit would go through.

At this point in a normal lawsuit, the plaintiff would simply be looking for grounds to move the case to discovery where they would either be able to (or not be able to) show evidence of the claims.

But there simply isn't time for a discovery phase in an election suit such as this. You need to come with the proof in hand. Nearly impossible when you have no access to the materials, witnesses, and such required to prove it.

Imagine if normal litigation required you to prove what you suspect "prior" to bringing a suit. Forget the idea of subpoenas and such. They would become irrelevant as defendants would refuse to provide information, there would be no way to get that information, and then Judges dismissed the claims due to lack of evidence.

And now Dominion is coming to check the servers here, probably bring some bleachbit

Election officials in Georgia’s Fulton County told a local news outlet Sunday that a newly purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed that delayed the state's third recount of the presidential election and technicians from the company “have been dispatched to resolve the issue.”

Election officials in Georgia’s Fulton County told a local news outlet Sunday that a newly purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed that delayed the state's third recount of the presidential election and technicians from the company “have been dispatched to resolve the issue.”



Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign photographer, Aric Thompson, served as a Dominion Voting Systems (Dominion) technician representative in Fulton County. The photographer described Harris as his “long time client” – over four years, according to him. In a similar Facebook post, Thompson also mentioned that he was working with Democratic activist Stacey Abrams.

“Now that I’m home, contracts have been signed and I’ve been vetted by security, I can spill the beans on my big shoot! I’ll be the official photographer for Senator Kamala Harris who is running for President in 2020! I’ve been her Atl [sic] photographer for a while now so it was a great surprise when I got the call to shoot for her during her fundraising events on Sunday! Added Bonus I forgot to mention! I leave from shooting for Kamala and head to shoot an event with Stacey Abrams…! Blessed!”

GOP Lawmaker Tweets, Tells Trump to ‘Stop the Stupid’
1:30 pm EST

Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-MI) asked President Trump to “stop the stupid,” tweeting: “Oh my God, President Trump. Please for the sake of our Nation please drop these arguments without evidence or factual basis.”

Guess who? said...

"If an undocumented person has been in the country for, say, 20 years, even if illegally, why would such a person not have a settled residence?"

Rep Paul Mitchell served only two terms in house and didn't run for reelection. He'll be back in Michigan in a month. He is irrelevant.

Arizona certified its results Monday, giving President-elect Joe Biden a win in yet another state where President Trump has contested the election. Trump allies have pledged to continue court challenges in the state.
The action came as Biden forged ahead with plans for his presidency, announcing a committee to organize his Jan. 20 inauguration and formally unveiling his economic team. Biden was also set to receive his first President’s Daily Brief, a classified compilation of information from intelligence agencies.

Rep. Anthony Brindisi, D-N.Y., and his supporters have been claiming for days that their man has pulled ahead of ex-Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., for the first time in the "long count" of their contest in New York's 22nd District (Utica).

Based on the last count from the eight counties in the upstate district, Brindisi on Wednesday proclaimed himself the winner by 13 votes on Twitter.

Not so, a source close to the Tenney team told Newsmax on Sunday.

WHAM Radio talk show host tweeted Sunday afternoon:

"After an audit and correction by the Herkimer County Board of Elections, Claudia Tenney leads Anthony Brindisi by 13 votes in the contest to represent NY-22 in Congress."

Amid cries of "fake news" from the Brindisi camp, a source close to Tenney explained to us that a letter from an election official in Herkimer County states:

"There were a number of errors in the initial spreadsheet which included, among others, a transposition or transpositions of numbers and a duplicate entry of the vote from one district in another district and a corresponding failure to enter the actual vote totals from the district where the duplicate entry occurred."

The outcome of the correction in Herkimer County and resulting change in the vote totals will be known Monday.

That same day, lawyers for Tenney and Brindisi will arrive in an Oswego County courtroom where the fate of their contest will be decided.

State Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte will hear challenges on absentee ballots and affidavits concerning election integrity from both sides for two days. He is expected to rule Wednesday whether or not a recount needs to be held.

UPDATE: A friend emails:

Great to see this #Resist repurposed.

A close female relative and I had a conversation recently. She was making conciliatory verbal gestures, in effect, saying that if everyone who supported Trump admits he lost, agrees they were wrong, and that Trump was evil, we can all move on amicably.

I responded, very calmly and dispassionately, which I was able to do because I was expecting this conversation, more or less as follows.

Using game theory, it has been determined that the proper way to respond to defection from optimal behavior between two parties, is to match any bad behavior by equal retaliation. Acquiescing in bad behavior without consequences simply gets you more of it.

So, the only rational rational response for Trump supporters, after the last four years is to respond to Biden exactly as Trump was treated:

#NotMyPresident
#StolenElection
#FuckBiden
#Resist

First, no one who voted for or supports Trump will recognize Biden as legitimate. Second, everyone who voted for Trump will believe and continue to proclaim that the election was stolen, in this case with far more factual basis. Third, Biden will not be given any deference or respect due to his office, but will be given only contempt and profane disrespect. Fourth, there will be no prospect of cooperation but only opposition, in every lawful way, to everything he says, does, or proposes, all day, every day, until he is gone.

At some future date reconciliation may be possible. But not until the last four years has been repaid in full.


And the foregoing is on the presumption that Biden will be sworn in as President, which he should not be, and which may not happen.

#RESIST.

Trump’s NATO Ambassador Vows ‘Seamless’ Transition
2:39 pm EST
Former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, the U.S. ambassador to NATO, vowed there would be a “smooth” and “seamless” transition to President-elect Joe Biden’s administration, even as President Trump continues to fight the election result, the Dallas Morning News reports.

“The Republican’s comments, delivered at a news conference in Brussels, put her at odds with many of her GOP counterparts, who’ve mostly refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory.”

Said Hutchison:
“We are going to work in a transition for a new administration coming in. We are going to make sure it’s smooth. That’s what we have in democracies, and that’s what we are going to produce.”


YET TRUMP CONTINUES
HIS DISGRACEFUL ENDGAME
2:26 pm EST
National Review:
“Trump’s most reprehensible tactic has been to attempt, somewhat shamefacedly, to get local Republican officials to block the certification of votes and state legislatures to appoint Trump electors in clear violation of the public will. This has gone nowhere, thanks to the honesty and sense of duty of most of the Republicans involved, but it’s a profoundly undemocratic move that we hope no losing presidential candidate ever even thinks of again.

“Getting defeated in a national election is a blow to the ego of even the most thick-skinned politicians and inevitably engenders personal feelings of bitterness and anger. What America has long expected is that losing candidates swallow those feelings and at least pretend to be gracious. If Trump’s not capable of it, he should at least stop waging war on the outcome.”


Georgia Governor Says He Won’t Break Law for Trump
2:17 pm
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) “pushed back on exhortations by President Trump, suggesting that the president was asking him to interfere in the Nov. 3 election in a way prohibited by state law,” the Washington Post reports.

Said a Kemp spokesman: “Georgia law prohibits the Governor from interfering in elections. The Secretary of State, who is an elected Constitutional officer, has oversight over elections that cannot be overridden by executive order.”


Arizona Certifies Biden Win
2:03 pm EST
“Arizona officials certified the state’s election results Monday, formalizing Democrat Joe Biden’s narrow victory over Donald Trump even as the Republican president’s attorneys continued making baseless claims of fraud in the state’s vote count,” the AP reports.

For those keeping track, the other key states which have already certified a Biden win include Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.

The dark is rising for Trump’s sycophants, toadies and enablers. Their tough-guy acts and fuck-your-feelings shit-talk have become a furious whine of complaints and recriminations as a toxic slurry of rage and despair has left a stinging bile in the back of their throats that won’t go away. Trump lost, and they can’t spin their way past it.

Even as his lawyers are all but chased out of each town where they file their absurd, doomed lawsuits, the true believers still imagine some miracle emerging from the wreckage of Trump’s campaign. The media apparatus that monetized the moronic state religion of Trumpism is still pumping their slowcoach followers full of stupid, easily disproven lies.

it likely is fraud. NY-22 is a fucking shithole, an economic wasteland, rife with corruption and home to lots of low-level wise guys who "retired" in utica after fleeing NYC.
