GOP not conceding in Pennsylvania race, may seek recount
The Hill ^ | 03/14/18 10:17 AM EDT | By Ben Kamisar

PITTSBURGH — Republicans will not be conceding anytime soon in a tightly contested special election in Pennsylvania, where Democrat Conor Lamb holds a slim lead over Republican state Rep. Rick Saccone in Tuesday's election.

Lamb's campaign and Democratic groups have declared him the winner, as he sits with less than a 700-vote lead. NBC News also projected him the "apparent winner" early Wednesday morning as more absentee ballots trickled in.

There are still about 203 absentee ballots and then additional provisional and military ballots left to be counted, but Saccone would have to capture an overwhelming majority of those outstanding ballots to win.

-----

A source familiar with the situation also told The Hill that the GOP plans to call for all ballots and voting machines to be placed under lock and key in case of a recount. And they are also likely to file a lawsuit based off of three concerns: confusion over the Pennsylvania secretary of State's new website, allegations that Republican attorneys were kicked out of rooms where absentee ballots were counted and that Allegheny County voting machines were miscalibrated.

A few years ago there was a huge investigation in Tarrant Country Texas. The State AG was involved. Thousands of fraudulent votes illegally gathered and produced. Election records destroyed. Democrat groups involved.

Suddenly- Not another word about it.

But here it is professionally laid out.

You can’t watch that and not believe in massive vote fraud.

Voting fraud is ruining elections. I hope whatever fraud happened is exposed.

There has been lots of “definitive” evidence of voter fraud in many elections, for years. It was clear in 0bola’s second term election. There were over 100 articles of clear evidence of voter fraud.

The effing losers are the Rs who do nothing about it.

What is the redistricting going to do to this area?

And it is always the Dems who perpetrate it.

Have they released the % of eligible voters who even bothered to turn out for this thing? Is it 30%?

Wow, just removes it entirely. When does this occur officially?

Is anyone surprised Democrat Paul Ryan called it a wake up call?

The 30% figure is what I saw posted here last night.

there were reports on Twitter that people were kept from voting due to confusion over redistricting. i wonder if we’ll hear more about that.

Perhaps some were legitimately kept from voting -- I don't know one way or the other. I had no problems at my precinct, even though it was my first time voting there. I do know that some people were ignorant of whether they are in the 18th District or not, and might have thought they were prevented from voting. The plural of anecdote is not data, but here are two anecdotes:

My parents' church is usually a polling site, and people were coming there thinking they could vote. They were not only were turned away but there were no machines set up - because it's in the 12th District.

Likewise, my dad was told he could vote in the special election (he can't, because my parents live in the 12th District as well). Worst part about it is that he was told this by his precinct's Republican poll watcher. Who knows how many people he told the incorrect information.

Here is a newer video from a candidate who found vote fraud in Texas. Electronic ballots have no numbers- Memory card results applied multiple times. It gets into some more issues like the law not being followed and how officials keep the results from being challenged. Unbelievable things happening in Texas of all places. This is going on all over the country.

They allowed dems to be part of it and it just became one big food fight. It is now in DHS.

"Miscalibrated"

What calibaration is needed of a voting machine. It's not as though there can be rounding errors or anything. Votes are digital, e.g. they come in digits, you know, like one-potato, two-potato, which doesn't round up to 1.5 potatoes + a 1/2 a potato for the other guy. It's like saying we need to recalibrate the goal post before counting whether the kick was in or out.

In about 2012 our Indiana SOS Todd Rokita (he is now a us representative running for Senate ) decertified a certain voting system. A 200+ report was given to all SOS. The states with R SOS stopped using them.
We have known the precincts where they are still being used. Allegheny PA is one of them. I have observed from afar how the machines change the vote. It’s not a hoax (D SOS kept the machines —Part of the Soros project)

IMO the entire “close election” has been created to expose these machines. Since the report was certified and signed for any state still using them are perpetuating fraudulent votes. Gonna be “interesting”!

When voter fraud was turned over to Homeland security contacted them and told them to get hold of Rokita. He also wrote the voter ID law that passed the scrutiny of SCOTUS Also contacted his office to alert them

GOP-controlled House is not going to seat the winner until after a recount and all challenges are resolved.

Now that's a thought. Think Ryan and the House GOP have the guts to do a Rick McIntyre on Lamb? Remember how the 'Rats cheated McIntyre out of his seat in that one? They did their own "recount". Several, in fact. Kept changing the rules and recounting until it came out in favor of their candidate, who they seated. The 'Pubs didn't have the votes to stop it. That's how you play power politics.

Yes because they judge shopped and they ruled it was unconditional; they had governors, SOS refusing to hand over any voting records, etc. They took it to court and had it stopped so GOP, PENCE, dropped it.

Right, especially since his pac donated money for the brochures for Lamb. What a snake. Everyone should call the GOP tomorrow and scream about this.
