Re: Vote Fraud & Irregularities

• A minor win for the Trump team in Pennsylvania (NR)

Excerpt: “A state court ruled that the state government lacked the authority to extend by three days (i.e., until today, November 12) the statutory six-day post-election deadline for voters to verify proof of identification. … The decision … is expected to affect very few votes. … The decision has no bearing on the more notable controversy currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court — viz., whether Pennsylvania’s state supreme court had the authority to extend by three days (i.e., until November 6) the statutory deadline for mail-in ballots to be received by county election boards.”

Excerpt: “‘I hope everybody moves to Georgia, you know, in the next month or two, registers to vote, and votes for these two Democratic senators,’ Friedman said during a Monday-night CNN appearance. Georgia election law does not include a length-of-residency requirement in order to vote in the state. It does, however, prohibit prospective voters from ‘residing in the state briefly with the intention just to vote and then move away.’”

“This is a typically shallow analysis from our pseudo intellectual former president, who obviously cannot tolerate that his presidency was rejected by Trump’s election and sees his opponents through a prism of race and crude stereotypes. He has no understanding of what the Trump revolution was about. It had little to do with hating anyone, and a lot to do with loving this country that the Left is in the process of destroying.” —Keith Koffler

Other Notables

• Ending greenhouse gas emissions “may not stop global warming” (Daily Mail)

Excerpt: “If humans ended greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow we would still see global temperatures continuing to rise for several centuries, a new study claims. … Even if all human-made greenhouse-gas emissions were reduced to zero this year, global temperatures would still be around 5.4°F (3°C) warmer in 2500 than on 1850, [a computer] model found. Sea levels, meanwhile, would rise by around eight feet (2.5 metres) by 2500, compared to 1850, submerging glaciers and flooding land.”

Editor’s note: Computer models are, of course, unreliable. But the scientists here are claiming “the world is already past a point-of-no-return for global warming,” so why even bother thinking about a Green New Deal? The study affirms that adaption is the most viable solution.
