Voters seeking changes to Pennsylvania governor’s emergency powers pull ahead on ballot questions
Morning call ^ | Mcall

Posted on 05/19/2021 5:10:22 AM PDT by TexasGurl24

HARRISBURG — Those seeking changes to the Pennsylvania governor’s emergency powers were firmly ahead in voting on two high-profile primary election ballot questions early Wednesday, with margins of about 55% to 45% on both questions. The questions propose two constitutional amendments. One would give the General Assembly the ability to end or extend a declared emergency without the involvement of the governor, and the other would end a declared emergency after 21 days unless extended by the General Assembly.

But… but… but… “DA MACHINeS!!!!!”

But…. But…. But…. “DoMInOnz!!!!”

But…. But… but….. “ IZ not voting no MORH Is all RIGGGGED!!!”

These were looking terrible last night when all the mail in ballots were coming in, at one point these were down 73/26% then the Election Day Vote starting coming in, including on GASP Dominion machines, and guess what, the ballot measures WON.

I guess the lizard people forgot to flip the switches?

The mail in vote trended horrifically Democrat again, just like in November but this time it got counted first.

Actually those machines are controlled by people and will do what people make them do and when.

So the sarcasm is ridiculous and over the top. Settle down.

I think Deep State threw us a bone.

They don’t want any more pressure to go back to dumb voting machines.

A special thanks to lightman for his Pennsylvania *ping list. It’s a great example of getting out the vote. Also, thanks to ConservativeInPA for taking the time to post detailed information on the ballot questions. Their effort informed 10 PA voters in my family and got them to the polls.

The mail in vote is the problem. In PA it’s virtually unsecured.

Did you know that President Trump actually improved on his 2016 margins in 11 of 14 counties in PA that used Dominion machines?

Those late ballot dumps were all mail in ballots.

Ballot measures are NOT the Presidency of the United State, toolbag!
Oh yeah, and it was a yes or no ballot question, not senile Joe vs Orange Man Bad!!! Not quite the same level.

Did you know that on the Dominion machines in PA, President Trump increased his raw vote margins from 2016 in all 14 Counties that used the machines and increased his vote share in 11 of those 14?

No, I bet you didn’t know that.

The GOP overperformed in SD-48 and HD-59 as well, winning well above the GOP vote share in each district.

Okay first off you know nothing about PA politics if you are citing what the numbers looked like “last night”...

PA elections are dominated by about 10 counties that vote around 75% liberal/democrat... the other 57 counties are conservative, but not by such a large margin.. 55-45 mostly, some 60-40... occasionally some are higher split than that.

Those 75-25 counties almost ALWAYS report first... in 2020 they held back their reporting, seeing they were losing badly.... had a nice little “let’s take a break” and pesto miraculously after the break hundreds of thousands of votes just miraculously appeared just where they needed to, and in the right numbers across 3 states including PA.

Thinking this election REMOTELY was going to involve the national party in a fix shows ignorance so comparing this to 2020 is silly at any level.

This was a Primary Election, it has zero consequences nationally... there is no gain politically for the national establishment to behave the same in this election as they did in 2020. Wolf has no play at the national level they aren’t going to go all in so he can keep ordering mask mandates or not.

Secondly, since you are not in this state I doubt you have seen that they have already had reports that they “have more vote in philly” they haven’t counted yet due to “technical errors”..

So while this looks like a safe win for the restrictions on Wolf’s runaway naziism, that doesn’t remain 150k or more votes can’t suddenly and miraculously appear if they have decide to rig it.

A fair election these two amendments are as good as passed, but until the actual certification happens, trust nothing.

They manufacturers hundreds of thousands of votes in PA in 20... if they choose to, 150k will magically appear yet.

I doubt it, like I said, I can’t see them deciding it’s worth it for this... they have no national implications... but after the outright and complete theft that happened here in 20... it certainly could

Why don’t we look at actual data?

Just 14 counties in Pennsylvania used Dominion machines.

In 11 of these Trump INCREASED both his vote total and voting share from 2016.

In all 14 the vote totals went up for President Trump.

Armstrong increased Trump 23484 (16) - 27489 (20)
Bedford increased Trump 19552 (16) - 23025 (20)
Carbon increased Trump 18745 (16) - 21984 (20)
Clarion increased Trump 12576 (16) - 14578 (20)
Crawford increased Trump 24987 (16) - 28561 (20)
Erie increased Trump 60069 (16) - 66869 (20)
Fayette increased Trump 34590 (16) - 41243 (20)
Fulton increased Trump 5694 (16) - 6824 (20)
Jefferson increased Trump 15192 (16) - Trump 17960 (20)
Luzerne increased Trump 78688 (16) - Trump 86929 (20)
Montgomery increased Trump 162731 - Trump 185460 (20)
Pike increased Trump 16056 (16) - Trump 19213 (20)
Warren increased Trump 12477 (16) - Trump 14237 (20)
York increased Trump 128528 (16) - Trump 146733 (20)

In addition to the raw vote increases in EVERY county that used Dominion machines, the percentage of vote increased for Trump in Armstrong, Bedford, Carbon, Clarion, Crawford, Fayette, Fulton, Jefferson, and Warren.

York was basically a wash, and there were slightly decreased percentages in Erie, Luzerne, Pike and Montgomery.

In Fayette, again, it uses Dominion machines, Trump won the highest percentage of vote share for a Republican Presidential candidate EVER. Biden received the second lowest percentage for a Democrat EVER.

So, if the lizard people were rigging the election with these Dominion machines (as the insane Lin Wood narrative goes) they did a TERRIBLE job in that they actually increased Trump’s margin in PA in these counties that used the machines.

The two big counties that everyone was rightfully worried about in Pennsylvania, Allegheny and Philadelphia DO NOT and DID NOT use Dominion machines.

So, looking at the actual data, how do you explain this apparent problem?

The problem is actually easy to explain. IT WAS THE MAIL-IN BALLOTS. The PA Supreme Court basically removed all security protocols and restrictions on mail-in ballots.

Those security holes are still there. Hence, the mail in ballots breaking 76% against the Amendments last night. What is different compared to 2020, is that the mail in ballots were largely counted first last night, rather than last like in November.

Those evil machines saved the day.

Oh, by the way, if you think that 150k votes are going to magically appear, let’s wager on it. I don’t think that you actually believe such nonsense (given that the AP has already called the race) but let’s play for higher stakes.

If the Amendments lose, then I will never post again on FR.
If the Amendments win, you agree to never post again?

Are you willing to take those odds?

Did I say one word about Dominion anywhere in my post?!?

You seem to be fighting an argument that isn’t being made

You do seem to think that the result will be somehow reversed.

By the way, yes is at 99% on Predictit.

If you don’t like my odds, you could drop a max bet on No and you would win tens of thousands of dollars when the magic reversal comes.

I do not care if you post or do not post again on Free Republic, so your “bet” holds zero relevance to anything.

Did you even bother to READ my initial post?

I stated quite clearly, all the reason why this vote being compared to 2020 is silly.

I also stated why the kind of fraud that was flagrant in 2020 is not likely to happen for this election.

I fully expect the amendments to pass, by stating nothing is certain until things are certified is simply an acknowledgement that the system is corrupt here, and that while unlikely, it is not guaranteed nothing will miraculously show up to change this outcome.

I really have no idea what argument you are trying to make or why... clearly you seem to have some personal skin in it though, since you seem to wish to argue it even though its never been part of the discussion.

I’m getting sick and tired of mouth-breathing morons claiming “Dominion” or “da machines” or “IZ Notta votingz no MOARH!”

Which seems to be very common among the ignorant Qtards and Lin Wood cultists.

Not voting and ignoring the real problems (mail in ballots) while focusing on fake conspiracies with lizard people living in voting machines makes the job of the communists much easier.

You know I thought, hey this douchebag MSMr Ford Turner is taking this rather well. Then I looked at the URL, which in most CSM web publishers is parsed from manual keyword/phrase input:

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA...
