Please don't take lessons from Der Fuehrer Trompf. There is absolutely no evidence not even a suggestion of same about large scale fraud in the last Presidential election nor in any of the prior ones. The fall off in total votes cast---and those are checked and rechecked, election precinct to precinct. The falloff in total votes cast by non GOP registered voters was in the tens of millions especially in the blue states where Democrats were in charge.

Hey, a kid can dream, can't he?!? I know there's no proof. I'd just rather it be fraud than millions of people not caring. I just don't get it.

I know people who BELIEVE the election was completely stolen, and they have the same mental health problems as those who believed the same about 2020. It is so sad to watch them go down the rabbit hole.

I think you meant to reply to Tim -- I'm ALL OVER there was no conspiracy.

Looking forward to your report of the final vote tally percentage of GOP and all other registered voters who turned out.

I'll send it to you for my area after the November election, supplanted with previous elections data.

President Elmo Muskrat has promised to fully fund primary opponents to any coward in Congress who doesn't toe the illegal line.

And some of them, like Chip Roy and Andy Biggs, have said "bring it on" -- if you look at the numbers, you'll see that a lot of these yahoos have won with huge margins. Most voters will pick a familiar name over an unfamiliar name, and incumbency is good for 3 - 5 points automatically. Also -- if these folks DON'T go up against the machine and save their constituents jobs, livelihoods, and bring down prices, they'll end up losing to Democrats.

Wouldbe nice to get decent turnouts this time around but far more people who didn't bother to show up to vote to dump Trump in 2024 won't show up for local elections, especially primaries. We get what we earn by turning out or turning off.

I'm still not convinced that many Dem's stayed home. While not usually prone to conspiracy theories, I think their votes simply weren't counted.

I've been shown lots of "proof" of this for specific precincts. I then dug into town/city and county data, looking not only at raw counts, but also participation compared to previous years. Every once in a while there is a SOLE precinct where the numbers looked dicey. But because everything was calibrated at the county level, the only logical explanation was cheating in a precinct of several hundred to thousand voters, and that would have involved switching ballots manually, because the counters are identical between precincts in a county. So, I just don't buy it. I've looked at too many examples that people have sent to me, CONVINCED of large-scale cheating.

What I HAVE seen is lower turnout numbers, especially for the presidential line compared to lower offices. I have also seen the swings in registration.

Speak for yourself, Floridian -- here in Chester County, we WILL turn out our voters. I have new sneakers and will be out collecting voters. Count on it.

Not being an ‘insider’ in the ChesCo political world, I’m finding it difficult to get much of any information. ChesCoDems latest news post is from Feb5th!!! I’d like to read a report on last night’s endorsement convention.

I was there! Straight up, it went smoothly, the nominees cleared the threshold so no contested primary races. I'll post the names and the link to the petition parties later on FB to the ICC and Dragonflies pages. Of the 373 potential voters (committee people, elected officials, etc) 369 were there and voted. Is that what you wanted to know?
