So Sarah Huckabee Sanders rigged her primary?

Yep, just like Ballot Box 13 in 1948!

People routinely win more than 75% of the vote in primaries.

It … happens …. All … the. … time.

Emerald Robinson lied. People are doubling down on stupid because they don’t want to face reality.

If you think 74% is fraud “because no one ever gets that.” Then you have to believe Sarah Huckabee Sanders also committed fraud because she won 83% in her primary.

You also have to believe that Trump rigged multiple primary elections as well. Like when he won 77% in West Virginia in 2016.

The statement that “no one gets 74% in a primary so that means fraud” is a lie.

Period.

No amount of stamping your feet will change that.

It’s called literary license, and is used to put an exclamation point on a topic. In other words, it exaggerates the point that this man did not win by 50 percentage points, at least not honestly.

I think that is being very charitable toward the person who said it.

Based on how that campaign was going it does make sense. All of the momentum was on Kemp’s side...Perdue really never had any traction. Like it or hate it that was how the race was going in the closing weeks.

These are the exact words:

"Nobody in any election in America gets 74% of the votes. Ever. It doesn’t happen."

That's not "literary license" - that is a direct claim of fact.

I know the quote, and I know it’s a stretch to call it literary license, but that s exactly what it is nonetheless. You can call it stretching the point to an extreme if you prefer that saying. However, it is still not meant to be taken literally as presented.

I am always charitable for Emerald Robinson, because she is a Trump supporter, as am I. I take it you are not, otherwise, you would understand that that Kemp is not well liked in Ga. after his refusal to stand up for Trump or this country.

The real issue is that polling suggested a drastically different percentage. And the polling would have been rigged in favor of Kemp to begin with.

LOL

Questioning the election results in a state with a known-bad election process is “stamping my feet”?

Got it.

I assume you haven’t seen 2000 Mules or Charlie Kirk’s interview if the True the Vote people? And that’s just one aspect of it.

Look, focus all you want on ER’s hyperbolic statement to the exclusion of all else. Anyone with any IT background at all who takes a close look at Dominion questions the security of the system. Perdue wasn’t a good candidate, Kemp campaigned harder, but there are a lot of folks out there who don’t trust these numbers. With lots of good reasons.

Texas huh? Bush league Texas?

DC regularly votes 90% or better democrat.

DC was built on a swamp.

I think the only elections that were rigged this time around were GA’s. Deep State likely couldn’t afford to lose those.

And until we get rid of both RCV wherever it’s in use and RCV-enabled voting machines, even if every voter is a legal voter, Deep State can still steal elections.

Even landslides.

Yup. Whoever thought that opening primaries to Democrats was a good idea should be shot. It’s an open invitation to Democrats to pick the weakest candidate.

I’m not sure what Robinson was smoking.

I think she was confusing primaries and general elections. In general elections people seldom reach 75%.

It may have been legit, but then again it smells rancid that he would beat Purdue that badly, without the help of Democrats possibly voting for him.

Saw an article yesterday (Washington Post I think) which explicitly featured Democrats admitting they were voting for Kemp and Raffensperger just to hurt Trump.

At this point, I advise everyone who wants to support Trump to vote for the Democrat in the General election.

Unless you punish backstabbing people, you will not get others to stop backstabbing.

The only way a small minority (people against Kemp and Raffensberger) can have influence is by throwing their weight on the balance between two foes.

To get rid of Kemp and Raffensberger you will have to vote for the Democrat, and then the lesson will be learned that backstabbing has consequences.

The real political sides are populists vs elitists. The populists do want secure elections. The elitists claim that the populists are just racists who want to rob minorities of the vote.

And this is the tool with which the elites have held onto power since Abraham Lincoln.

I will further add that they didn't give former slaves the right to vote because it was the moral and proper thing to do, they gave them the vote because they knew they would always vote to keep the liberal elite in power.

Emerald Robinson lied.

She didn't lie. She just spoke of something which she did not understand and had a wrong belief about.

Lying is saying something you know to be untrue.

She was wrong, but she wasn't "lying."

How does that support Trump? The general election is the main election, not a primary election.

It shows that there can be consequences for dismissing the conservative side of your party. Also Trump wanted them out. Getting them out makes Trump look good because he predicted they would lose against their Democrat opponents.

The general election is the main election, not a primary election.

Yes I know, and if you can't win a primary, the only power you have left is to be the chooser in the General.

General elections are close. The section of the party that wanted Kemp and Raffensberger out will have far more clout in the General than they did in the primary.

They need to get those two out just to demonstrate that the concerns of their constituents about election fraud cannot be ignored lightly.
