Trump Tweets “FRAUD” as Democrat Sinema Takes Lead in Arizona Senate Race

For good measure Trump goes after Arizona Senator Jeff Flake who decided to not run for reelection.

Lawsuit Filed

CNBC reports Sinema Leads in Arizona Senate Race that is Still Too Close to Call

Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema took a tiny lead Thursday over Republican Rep. Martha McSally in the Arizona contest, which NBC News considers too close to call. The Democrat holds an edge of only 0.5 percentage points, or about 9,000 votes, in a race that will help to determine how wide Republicans can make their Senate majority starting in January.

Republicans have challenged the process of counting mail-in ballots — which account for about three-fourths of Arizona’s votes — in the state’s two largest counties. The lawsuit, which a judge will hear Friday, targets the practice of Maricopa and Pima Counties allowing voters to fix issues with their ballots for up to five days after Election Day. The state has a tedious process of matching signatures on voters’ registration forms to those on their ballots, and the counties let voters fix signature problems for days after the election.

The litigation could potentially cap the number of votes counted in the race, in which every ballot will be critical due to the tight margin. The result of the contest has huge stakes for what President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans can accomplish in the next Congress.

400,000 Votes Still Uncounted

> At least 400,000 votes were still uncounted as of Friday morning, according to The Associated Press. Maricopa County — the state’s largest — leans Democratic. About 375,000 votes were outstanding in the county as of Thursday night, according to the AP.

Once again it may matter what precincts those uncounted votes votes are from. If they are from Phoenix, Simema is highly likely to win and may be probable in any case.

Spotlight Florida and Georgia

Meanwhile, a Recount Looms In Florida Republican Victories As Suspicions About Possible Vote-Tampering Emerge

​As of Friday morning, the margin between Scott and Nelson had shrunk to approximately 15,000 votes.

More than 24,700 voted in Broward county for a gubernatorial candidate but not a US Senate candidate, which has led both Democrats and Republicans to suspect that the other side is up to something.

Both Sen. Marco Rubio and former Trump aid Marc Caputo have shared evidence on twitter that could suggest that Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes, who was first appointed in 2003 by former Gov. Jeb Bush, may have tampered with the vote. As Rubio pointed out, Nelson has retained Democratic lawyer Marc Elias to help with the recount effort. Elias has said it’s “not plausible” that so many people voted in lower level races but didn’t cast ballots in the governors’ race.

This will not get settled for days.

It seems Democrat run Miami-Dade county has left THOUSANDS most likely Republican leaning mail-in ballots UNCOUNTED:

“Dozens of boxes filled with mail-in ballots are sitting inside a Miami-area mail distribution center, according to photos obtained by The Miami New Times.

The news outlet noted that the distribution center where the ballots are located is the same one that was evacuated in October after a mail bomb reached the facility.

The news about the ballots comes the same day Miami-Dade County announced it finished counting votes for the midterm elections, which includes hotly-contested Senate and gubernatorial races that have yet to be called.

Two unnamed sources alleged to The New Times that hundreds or thousands of ballots may still be in the distribution center.

A spokesperson for the Elections Department told the news outlet that it was aware of the development. Though the spokesperson added that any ballots not delivered to the Miami-Dade Elections Department by 7 p.m. on Election Day would not be counted.

“We do our best to educate voters that, if you’re voting vote-by-mail, then your ballot had to be at the Elections Department by Tuesday, November 6,” she said. “Not everybody mailed back in time.”

A spokesperson for the department did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill on Friday.”

Democrats Art of Election Stealing is happening…

Republican INCOMPETENCE:

1.
Republican Jeb! Bush made Democrat Brenda Snipes Broward County elections supervisor in 2003 as then Florida Governor.

2.
Rebublican Rick Scott could have FIRED Brenda Snipes for CAUSE as Florida Governor after Brenda Snipes ILLEGALLY deleted all the ballots from the Democrat primary for 23rd Congressional District of Florida between Clintonite Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Bernie Sanders endorsed Tim Canova during the time while she was legally obligated to keep them and during Tim Canova fighting in Court to be allowed to inspect them and negotiating prices to be able to inspect them because Tim Canova suspected there was funny business in the Democratic primary in Florida for 23rd Congressional District of Florida in 2016 that Debbie Wasserman Schultz won despite being hated by most Democrats.

So Rick Scott did NOT do his job as a Governor.
The job of Governor includes FIRING all incompetent officials especially after those officials have BROKEN THE LAW and there is clear CAUSE to fire them.

Now thanks to Rick Scott doing his job as Governor very poorly Democrat Brenda Sykes is running the count in Broward County and finding new Democrat votes to count all the time and NOT even giving out the total number of votes cast so there is NO LIMIT how many new Democrat votes they can find.

It seems Democrats will steal Florida Senator election away from Republican Rick Scott and may even steal the Florida Governors election away from Republican DeSantis.

This will all end badly. I have several women in my family who think it is alright to badmouth other members of my family because they voted Republican to the point that they become exceedingly nasty. I don’t like the Republicans but, I hate the hate coming out of the Democrats in my family. Neither party represents me. I am an anti-war, lets stop borrowing from the grandkids believer. When this debt bubble comes undone, we will need all the help we can find. How many millions are we going to borrow from the grandkids for these endless investigations. I totally disgusted in Florida

Your family’s women have been indoctrinated to hate those who vote differently and those who think differently politically by the continual brain washing done by Democrat supporting mainstream media.

The same thing has happened in Sweden for tens of years.

Sweden’s election system is also totally undemocratic and there is NO ELECTION PRIVACY in the voting booth because in Sweden voters take the ballot from a table in full view of everybody and each party has their own election ballot so people outside the election booth in the polling place know what party you are going to vote by what party’s ballot you pick.

In small towns and small cities in Sweden everyone will soon know you as Sweden Democrats voter if you took their ballot from the table.

Also in Sweden couples and families go to vote together and if the husband takes the ballot for Sweden Democrats from the table it is usually instant divorce or huge non-stop nagging and lots of rows how horrible you are.
So Swedish men have turned their heads down and voted for more open borders and more loose immigration policy for tens of years despite seeing problems around them.

Also Sweden has even worse media than USA has in that all Sweden Democrats and all Sweden Democrats voters are called xenophobic, racist, fascist etc. every day in Swedish media.

This phenomenon explains why Sweden has turned into a basket case where tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers have been allowed to come for years and years and where immigrants committing rapes , assaults and other violent crimes are NOT deported in most cases.

Before Swedish media also CENSORED news about rapes and gang rapes committed by immigrants and those throwing rocks at police, fire patrol and ambulance crews and torching cars were called “youths”.

Only in 2018 has there been some cases of media reporting the facts and the following facts have been reported in Sweden in 2018:

1.
98% of gang rapes are committed by immigrants or people from immigrant background and these are mostly Muslims and Africans. This was reported by Expressen.

2.
58% of men convicted in Sweden of rape and attempted rape over the past FIVE years were born abroad and these were mostly Muslims and Africans.
This was reported by every Swedish Media and BBC.

If one takes into account that the 58% number of rapes committed is just those BORN ABROAD it means that most likely if one adds those rapists born in Sweden that are from immigrant background it is 75%-90% of all rapes in Sweden that are being committed by immigrants and those from immigrant background.

Sweden has most rapes of any EU country.

A supposedly civilized country Sweden did this to itself and to Swedish women and Swedish girls and to Swedish children because media brainwashed Swedish people to be silent if they saw something wrong so they would not be called racist, xenophobic, fascist and media told the Swedish people that they have to vote the right way aka for open borders and loose immigration policy all the time and Swedish media only had good and positive news about immigrants because negative news might increase racism and the Swedish election system where there is NO ELECTION PRIVACY ensured that those who were brainwashed by media could control who their family voted for and in small cities and small towns in Sweden the social pressure to vote politically correctly for more open borders and more loose immigration policy was crushing because news traveled fast if you voted wrong aka for tight immigration policy by voting Sweden Democrats so either your family called you a xenophobe, racist, fascist etc. if you voted wrong or then word spread in small cities and towns that you voted for the WRONG PARTY and you became known and slandered around town or small city as a xenophobe, racist, fascist and you lost friends, job opportunities or customers if you were running a business.

Sweden has been turned into a hell on earth for those Swedes who live in majority immigrant areas or near majority immigrant areas because Sweden has brought in lots of the wrong kinds of immigrants who came to Sweden through the whole of Europe because they were attracted by the large money social welfare benefits and generous children’s stipend allowances every month of about 200 dollars per child and free apartments paid by the local government and free healthcare and free childcare.

The Swedish immigrant ghettos have been caused by the immigrants making life miserable in the suburbs and projects after they have moved in and reached majority for Swedes so Swedes moved out if they could.

Since the immigrants make so many kids because through family re-unification those who got asylum or subsidiary protection first brought their most likely uneducated wife and children and then the wife stayed home and concentrated on making more kids and now even 2nd generation migrants are bringing their wives and husbands who are gain most likely uneducated from the former home country and concentrating on making kids.

In an area where there are 30%-40% immigrants the schools are mostly 60%-80% immigrants and in areas where there are over 50% immigrants the schools are mostly 90% immigrants and many immigrant kids drop out of school and even those who graduate usually just get the minimum grades so the teacher is not accused to be a xenophobe or racist or discriminatory by them so they have no or very little useful skills so life of drug dealing, crime, robberies, joblessness mixed with some rock throwing against police, fire patrol and ambulances awaits them spiced with some car torching when they get bored for the males and for the females it is most times starting to make more immigrant background kids after they have turned 18 or even earlier if they have dropped out of school and Sweden’s welfare state gives them free money to live and free apartments by the local government to live in and then they can go to free daycare and to free school.

Sweden will be a Muslim majority country by 2060.

The difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy is the difference between liberty and slavery.

“man is not free unless government is limited. As government expands, liberty contracts.”

The notion that every man that works a day on the road, or serves an idle hour in the militia, is entitled as of right to an equal participation in the whole power of the government, is most unreasonable, and has no foundation in justice.

the individual who contributes only one cent to the common stock, ought not to have the same power and influence in directing the property concerns of the partnership, as he who contributes his thousands. He will not have the same inducements to care, and diligence, and fidelity. His inducements and his temptation would be to divide the whole capital upon the principles of an agrarian law.
Liberty, rightly understood, is an inestimable blessing, but liberty without wisdom, and without justice, is no better than wild and savage licentiousness.

America Rejects Trumpism
Wednesday, November 7, 2018

Make no mistake: America has rejected Trumpism.

No one seriously expected the Senate to flip, because Democrats had to defend 26 seats in that chamber, compared with only nine held by Republicans.

The real battleground was the House, where Democrats had to achieve a net gain of 23 seats to get the 218 needed for a majority.

They did.

Trump wasn’t on the ballot but he made the election into a referendum on himself.

So Americans turned against House Republicans, who should have acted as a check on him but did nothing – in many cases magnifying his vileness.

Didn’t Pelosi just promise to stay well clear of acting as a check on, but rather to do her best to magnify, the vileness of Trump’s most signature of policies, his arbitrary tariffs?

“More than 24,700 voted in Broward county for a gubernatorial candidate but not a US Senate candidate, which has led both Democrats and Republicans to suspect that the other side is up to something.”

So I’m a born and raised Floridian and can shine some light on this. Andrew Gillum was/is the democrat running for governor and he is an African-American. Florida also uses constitutional amendments to drive voter turnout. One of the big ones this year was to reinstate the voting rights of convicted felons, which disproportionately effects African-American men in the state. So the dems were obviously targeting a large turn-out of African-Americans, which also happen to be a large minority in Broward County (home to Ft Lauderdale for you party hounds).

They came out to vote for Gillum. That does not translate into votes for Bill Nelson, the incumbent democratic senator. Nelson is a multi-multi-millionaire scion of a large cattle ranching family from my neck of the woods (Brevard County, think NASA). He is about as conservative, pro-business as you will ever find in the democratic party. He is really only a democrat because he started in politics at a time when Florida was a Southern Democrat stronghold.

Decent black folks know where their bread is buttered, and it isn’t with Nelson. Or Rick Scott for the matter. Nelson was born with a silver spoon in his mouth in the form of tens of thousands of acres of prime Florida real estate. Rick Scott stole his millions by defrauding Medicare as CEO of HealthSouth Corp.

I apologize to all of you from the Great State of Florida.

He still might. The number of uncounted votes in Broward (which is heavily democratic) are enough to put him over the top. Florida also doesn’t have as large an African-American population relatively as other Southern states, due to being a retirement haven. And Florida also has a relatively healthy black middle-class who tend to be fairly conservative.

It is amazing.

In any close election, time after time, the democrat candidate miraculously finds just enough votes to win well after election night.

Now if this was just random occurrences, you would think it would help the republican candidates about half the time.

Every time it favors the democrat.

But there is no voter fraud….

Al Gore was about to win Florida. Every “recount” got him closer and closer.

That is why democrats had a meltdown when the SCOTUS shut down the democrat vote creating machine AFTER THE THIRD RECOUNT.

Same modus operandi for today. Recount and find magic democrat votes day after day….

wow i guess i come here for the intelligent articles, but not any intelligence in the comments. perhaps you’re not american so you are not familiar with the american electorate?

i wont give you the answer, but i’ll give you some hints so you can figure it out yourself instead of coming up with ridiculous conspiracy theories:
cities vs rural
where to liberals tend to live vs conservatives
do more people live in cities or in rural areas?

Did Hillary Clinton magically come back in Wisconsin, PA, Michigan to beat DOnald Trump at the end? ALex Jones mental powers must have stopped the vote rigging that time right?

i’m sure you wonder how they can call any election early before the polls even close LOL. it must be rigged!

Go google Al Franken’s “come from behind of the recount” victory on his initial run for the senate.

Democrat votes just magically turned up in closets and car trunks. And just magically enough to barely win.

So it happen in the midwest too.

Like I said – if this was just a “random” set of occurrences – it would happen about 50/50 to republicans.

So name the last time a republican came from behind for a major office, after losing election night, on recount and recount and magically kept finding more votes to win the election.
