Although a commission to study the voting machines and software would be fine, people should bear in mind before they go off on wild conspiracty theories, that there was a HAND COUNT of ALL of the votes in Georgia which produced essentially the same results as the machine count.

That should be definitive.

If you don’t think so, explain why.

I’m leaving these links here.

How about a commission investigating all the BLM and Antifa riots?

Or Hillary’s emails.

Or the murder of Seth Rich and/or the Vince Foster murders?

Or Benghazi?

Or Biden’s foreign scams with the Red Chinese or Ukraine?

Or Hunter Biden’s laptop?

Or Clapper’s lies to Congress, under oath?

Or Brennan’s involvement in framing General Flynn?

Or who shorted the American Airlines and United stock 2 days before 9/11?

Or the conversation between Bill Clinton and the corrupt DOJ chief on the tarmac?

Or Epstein’s death and John Roberts’ closet lifestyle?

No one questions the susceptibility of e-voting systems to hacking.

But the fact of susceptibility proves nothing about the 2020 election.

(The HBO documentary was about problems 16 years ago in localized areas with different voting machines. And by the way, did such documentary illustrate that such hacking actually occurred and impacted election results as opposed to merely being possible ?)

And how about addressing BecauseScience’s point.

If the irregularities were so pervasive as to impact the results of a national election, how is it that a state-wide hand-count in Georgia (and on a more limited basis in Arizona and Michigan) revealed no significant disparities ?

Did you actually read the story ?

The GOP donor wants his money back because he thinks he was “had”.

Good luck with that.

I think a remark by Charlton Heston comes to mind.

I did read the story.

That was the point.

He is not the first millionaire to be duped.

The idea that rich people are smarter or more capable than middle class or poor people is wrong.

A riot inquiry is in order. From various news sources, it appears that the riot was planned well in advance of Jan 6th, 2021. Also, law enforcement agencies were getting bits and pieces of information well before Jan 6th about the riot plans. What did they know, when did they know it and WHY did they not have adequate forces and their own plans in place to counter the riot before it even started. A riot commission needs to do a thorough investigation.

Martin

I apologize if I mistook what you were getting at.

As far as what happened on January 6th, Congress should appoint a special prosecutor and take the inquiry out of the hands of Congress.

A special prosecutor could then interview/depose all the relevant parties and do it outside of “political” bias.

Supposedly AOC was warned of the infiltration into the Capitol about 10 days before the surge.

How did she know?

Who else knew it would happen?

Also, on January 7th I watched an interview with a French journalist, who stated that she was told by a member of the Capitol Police that several officers were told not to come in on the 6th.

Something is not right.

Pelosi is in charge of the House.

The Turtle is in charge of the Senate.

Did they know this would be happening?

From the New York Post — ” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi abruptly shut down a reporter Thursday after being asked about GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham’s threat to call in FBI agents to testify about who planned the Capitol riot last month if Democrats call witnesses in former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.

“Your question is a waste of time,” Pelosi told the reporter during her weekly news briefing on Capitol Hill.”

To sum it up, if Congress investigates, it would be like me investigating myself —

It has to be done by an impartial body.

“never let a crisis go to waste”.

Remember who said that??

Americans were not confident in a fair election process both before and after the 2020 Presidential Election. An NBC Poll in August of 2020 found the following:

“Sixty-five percent of American adults who identify as a Republican or “lean Republican” are not confident in how the election will be held. That compares to 46 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaners who aren’t feeling confident about November’s results. A majority of independents — 56 percent — also aren’t confident in the election being conducted fairly and equally.”

Americans’ distrust and concerns were proven correct after numerous accounts of fraud and irregularities in a number of States surfaced after the Nov 3, 2020 election.

There were extensive voting irregularities and fraud in many States in the 2020 presidential election including in Penn, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin and this included poll watchers being denied access to ballot counting. Others were asked to leave and then video cameras captured boxes of ballots being brought in and put into a counting machine. Nevada had extensive fraud.

The following sworn testimony was read into the record at a U.S. Senate Hearing on Dec 16, 2020 regarding voting irregularities. Attorney Jesse Binnall of the Trump Campaign provided this sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury and jail sentence, per evidence uncovered in Nevada after extensive and thorough investigations:

In early August, 2020, the Nevada Legislature rushed and hastily made drastic changes to the Nevada election law by adopting a Bill known as AB4. It authorized universal mail-in voting without sufficient safeguards to authenticate voters or to insure that only one ballot was sent to each qualified registered voter. Consequences of this included (numbers rounded) :

42,000 people voted more than once.

1,500 dead people voted.

19,000 people voted even though they did not live in Nevada. This does not include military voters or student voters.

8,000 people voted from non-existent addresses.

15,000 votes were cast from commercial or vacant addresses.

4,000 non-citizens voted.

Within the last month Senator Lindsay Graham said that he was going to initiate investigations into voting irregularities of various States sometime this year.

Americans must demand elimination of all early voting and most absentee ballots. Voting should be in person on one designated election day with many new safeguards in place such as voter photo ID in all States.
