This has already been debunked. This is a standard process election workers do of recreating a ballot if the machine rejects it due to some kind of problems with the ink or paper. It’s supposed to be watched by poll watchers on each “team.” It’s questionable whether this process should exist, but it is legal, not fraud, unless they change the answers on the new ballot compared to the original.

And without an observer from each party to witness and sign off on the recreation, it can't be considered legitimate because it leaves wide open the possibility for abuse.

I certainly wouldn't want my ballot "recreated" like this without a GOP observer to sign off on it.

“But you’d expect some commitment to principles.”

The concept of politicians and leaders aspiring to lead virtuous lives is an 18th century philosophy. It died in the 19th and 20th centuries along with the influence of religion.

The Republican Party is a club, where influence is for sale. Deals are pragmatic, not principled. A principled party would not have sold out the middle class with trade deals benefiting foreign nations at the expense of the American worker. A principled party would have used anti-trust law to prevent the development of oligopolistic mega corporations, aligned with government controlling entire industries. A principled party would not have compromised with creeping socialism from the 1960’s to the present. A principled party would have supported continuous deployments of American forces around the planet for 70 years, shedding the blood of its citizens and consuming its treasury for countries representing no threat to the homeland. A principled party would not have allowed the borders of the homeland to be overrun by millions of invaders and then give those invaders the full benefit of social services afforded by the welfare safety net.

Democrats fight because they have a shared ideology they are committed to imposing on the nation — socialism. Republicans have no such commitment to capitalism. They have done the bidding of their big money donors for years, not voters. Ironically, the donors the GOP has served for decades (Wall Street, mega corporations) are also pragmatic and since the Clinton years have been aligning with Democrats because they can see the tide turning to socialism. The real story in the 2020 election is disparity of funding. Big business gave its money disproportionately to the party of socialism, not to the party that allegedly supports free markets. Businesses made pragmatic calculations that Trump is a one man show, not supported by his party, and once he is gone Democrats will seize power and exercise it ruthlessly.

Democrats get up every morning to fight. Republicans get up every morning to do pragmatic deals. Trump shows that fighting wins over pragmatic compromise. However, the GOP politicians are not fighters by nature. They seem ready to revert to form, hoping though compromise they can continue to receive scraps from the table without losing their “dignity”. Principles, what principles?

Trump was an army of one and he challenged GOP politicians to stand up for principles. They at best gave him lukewarm support an lip service. Today, when Trump is on the ropes, they are running for the hills. After all, when you have no principles you never have to take a stand.

A growing list of Republicans have reproached President Trump for his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Obvious cheating that the president will address as a threat to national security, and those purchased by China and other enemies are exerting pressure for us to just cave in. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

These republicans remind me of Edward G Robinson’s character Dathan from the Ten Commandments.

Thanks for the lengthy and well-thought out post. You’re right, of course - it’s sad, but it’s true.

If I had any power I would start a movement of Red States and have Trump leading it to form a third party. All those Red States where the people love Trump, would be a massive number of people to spread and push the blue states to rejoin the “original” Constitution of the USA. For starters ban CA residents from moving into your state.

So you think it is wrong for the President to state that the election is being stolen?

Christie. Big effing surprise. I never understood why POTUS palled around with this corrupt gasbag. Now Christie plunges the long knives in his back.
