ฝัง

- In the key swing states of Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and Pennsylvania, candidates who made false claims about the 2020 election ran for positions that can exert great influence over election administration.
Here’s a look at some of the results of those midterm races, and what it means for future elections.

Cheaters and crooks 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 are people not sick of this already
Yes, we are sick of the GQP.
You say that because you didn't like the results or is there another reason
Yes I'm sick of cheaters and crooks
Im sorry voting without ID requirenments seems just nuts to me.
Ig you aren't educated enough on this topic. IDs are used to track voting trends to gerrymander, close polling booths, run sham candidates. There isnt any shred of evidence that lack of ID results in wide amount of voter fraud. But there are public laws being introduced every election that gets thrown out by most courts, becz they wanna track ID.
@@uwuwuuwuwuwu5083 fake news
Apology accepted
Stop with concern trolling.
Every single state requires ID to register.
I just don't get why ID shouldn't be needed to vote I really don't. How both sides don't agree on this boggles my mind.
Let's say you're doing a "get out the vote" drive where you are literally picking people up and dragging them to the polls. Requiring an ID adds friction to the process.
Because they need to cheat to win and that's all there is to it!!!
Also mail in voting and drop boxes are just another way for them to cheat and that's why they fight for them!!!
cause then it would be much harder to cheat in an election
GOP constantly trying to make legislations at state level to discriminate voters and utilozing ID to do so, common sense would give you who they tryna discriminate. They do redistricting based on ID data, reduce numbers of polling stations around areas tht correlate GOP losses with voting trends and racial identity (hence the ID) Texas court a year or two ago blocked a law preventing these tactics.When GOP asks for ID, they want it to reduce your voting power.
Because they need to cheat to win… the same goes for mail in ballots… don’t tell me there aren’t ways to cheat with mail in voting… it’s simple…
1) harvest a ton of ballots that are sent out to millions of people
2) fill them out ahead of time
3) use mules to drop off ballots around the cities (enough to get the election started and make it look close)
4) if you’re losing after polls close, you keep adding ballots to the count through the night or week for “reasons”
5) declare victory later in the night or even the week
6) don’t allow anyone to question it, make them sound like a quack
For what is at stake, these elections were still too close.
“Election skeptic” 😂
🤡 🌎
WSJ is so gentle lol
“Skeptics”?! Really? Don’t you think it’s time to stop with the euphemisms and all start calling these things what they are? Or did Murdock tell you not to?
Oh I think skeptics is the right word, considering election defenders rarely bother to cite the actual evidence in making their refutations. The argument is simply to trust the officials no matter what.
@@baigandinel7956 Evidence? How about having every single case dismissed by every single court? How about the people involved themselves admitting in court they had zero evidence of any election fraud? You think you can come up with lies and then it’s on the rest of society to refute or prove something to you?
I hope in a few years you remember that when democracy was in danger in the United States you stood with those trying to destroy it. You defended traitors, criminals and frauds attempting to keep power using the same tactics fascists used through out human history. Lies, exploiting fears, blaming minority groups as boogie men to get power, attempting to dismantle and discredit institutions that keep a check on their attempts at power consolidation.
The people you’re defending only care about your vote until they no longer need votes to stay in power.
@@baigandinel7956 the officials, audits and investigations... But you would rather trust whoever tells you something you wanna hear huh? I guess trump and my pillow guy are much more trustworthy to you than election officials and their auditors 😂
@@ooperblownup Those types of comprehensive audits sought mostly never took place. The Arizona audit did reveal a few thousand errors. And as Kari Lake correctly points out, there are still people who question Florida 2000, even though the results of investigations show Bush won there.
@@BadAtPickingUsernames I don't even know where to begin with this Keith Olbermann rant of yours. It is not factually correct to suggest that no "evidence" was presented in any court -- evidence was. That is a very different thing than proof. Nor was fraud the only ground argued for relief. It's something of a red herring to only talk about fraud, and not the other legal grounds argued, such as unconstitutionality, which some courts DID agree with. Simply to dispute an election you are quite unreasonably calling "fascist." We need to have a reasonable way to distinguish what conduct is and is not allowed. And LAWFARE is ALLOWED. Hillary simply called it "fighting as hard as we know they will." The simple fact an election is disputed tells us nothing about "fascism." Yes, dictators make false claims about elections, but dictators also meddle with votes and then demonize people who question them.
Nor (and this is a completely separate point from analysis of the election, as it should be) did Trump, in fact, target any groups in the manner you are suggesting. He only increased his margin with minorities, the very same groups you claim he was targeting. The people do, however, have an absolute right to 1) set and 2) enforce their 3) democratically enacted immigration laws. Which is all that Trump ever did.
Don’t feed the trolls…. Lesson #1 from the early days of the internet…
Kari Lake is right. It is a movement. A giant orange bowel movement.
Like your orange wife?
It seems pissful blm movement didn't work for you, that's why your constipated
Oh, that was so good.
@Part-Time Gamer Not fine and not true.
@Part-Time Gamer you can't argue with Karen democrats. There is no news source saying Hobbs doesn't oversee elections in Arizona, they openly discuss it but still crazy Karens "nuh uh not true"
Trump NEEDS to run for President to garner the (perceived) legal protection for when his lawyers run out of delaying tactics.
Bingo
Ok psycho
@@koopasix5897
"okay psycho"
I think he was commenting on how desperate Trump is.
I probably missed this one also. Who won the Governor spot in Georgia?
Abrams conceded (this time) so Kemp is governor. The senate race will likely be a runoff.
@@bobthemagicmoose
Stop lying. She conceded last time too. The only real election denier is Trump and everyone who believes his baloney.
Sincerely,
Veterans Against Traitor TrumPutin
Yes, but the Georgia Governor and State Secretary did what was RIGHT THING TO DO back in 2020 NOT TO BaCKING UP TRUMP..
And NOT TO INTERFERE the people's final votes in the name of Donald Trump.
They delivered the electors and certified the results based on the final votes despite the opposite winning the ballots.
Even in Florida, the Ron Desantis winning was considerable the big rebuttal of Trump 2024 candidacy.
Both of these examples might not be what Democrat hopes (to be honest , it is always an uphill battle, weve known for months from those polls), but still something that Democrat can compromise with.
Of course if it was nut-crazy candidates like the one in Pennsylvania, the voters know what they cannot compromise with.
I love the Michigan woman with fake quotes of the constitution lol.
Where is the constitution does it say election season then?
The Constitution says election day not election month. Maybe you should read the Constitution.
@@mike48084 Who are you talking to?
@@The-RoyalKnight It literally doesn't say that. You fell for a politician's lie because you were too enamoured to fact check her.
The worst part of all of this is… Whitmer was putting sick Covid patient’s in nursing homes killing thousands of elderly… that wasn’t a plot the help with the social security problem let me tell ya….
But smaller numerous ones ? Every where?
where wsj makes them stand for good camera angle
I wish these ppl would actually run on political agenda instead of conspiracy theory mongering. Maybe they would actually win
Both parties have been running on a platform of "you can't let them win, else the world will end"
Republicans ran on the economy. Democrats ran on Abortion and the end of Democracy.
Why is USPS still delivering ballots in NV??? Does nobody find it curious USPS suddenly (post Biden) has a special election division which is producing ballots this many days after the election???
Typical Trump statement (regarding his endorsements):
“Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit, and if they lose, I should not be blamed at all. OK, but it’ll probably be just the opposite.”
-Trump to NewsNation’s Markie Martin on 11/8/22
He also thinks if he loses it's fraud, as do his braindead followers
🤨😐😵💫🤯
He was joking. I saw that, he was joking.
Nobody seems to be able hear a joke as a joke these days. I’m with you
He’s always right🤡
I may have missed it in the video. Who won the Governor spot in Ohio?
Deep State ally Kemp.
I will trust the system if it’s more transparent with id and few mail in ballots
@Scott Allen "der everyone is Russian and my party didn't deny the 2016 election results for 4 years" poor fella
You only trust it when your candidate wins.
Shut the deniers up by doing audits. Prove to the world that we have the most secure & free elections!!!
It has become increasingly clear that most American people still trust the system and will disapprove anyone who tries to discredit it.
You are glowing.
Thieves
Elections have been happening for 250 years in our country. and in all those years fraud was never an issue.And it wasn’t an issue in 2016 when Trump was winning. Only when he lost did he cry fraud. Everybody but the GOP knows there was how come nobody claimed it was a fraud in 2016 fraud and A lot of false claims but they still believe Trump. What?!
I don’t
Yeah. Okay.
Democrats Clinton era mid terms: It was rigged!
Democrats 2000:It was rigged!
Democrats 2016:Trump isn’t the president, because Putin rigged it.
Biden:Ahead if the midterms:They are going to steal the election!…..
@@nakefews6823 Even if that was said then why didn’t the GOP complain about it? nothing was ever proven of course because the gop Always make baseless accusations. I have not seen any proof on anything they have ever said.Ever!You people all need a diaper change. Otherwise why the crying?!
Love this update! Thanks WSJ!
PA re-elected a dead congressman. Voter fraud doesn't exist, though.
Keep licking boots commie!!
Wake up,,,,it’s over
Wake up, your vote doesn’t matter… you’re just blind because your choice won… reality is in the future if you want to vote your party out, you won’t be able to…
You’ll wake up one day (when it’s too late) to realize what I’m saying here
And didn’t those states have strange things happening in vote counting ,fires, some abnormal oddities etc,etc? Only in those states! Not saying just asking? Yes/no ?
no
Yes, the counting continues until “they” win… otherwise they call it early…
How is it that PA is still 83% polling in at 8:30am the next day with a candidate like fetterman.
“It was a close race, but we kept counting all week and we won, don’t question it, it’s democracy”
Every swing state had or is currently having issues counting votes.
@@jonathandevereaux298 no
If you're referring to the FAKE ELECTORS that are being given IMMUNITY so they don't go to jail in Georgia, yes, those were some ODD things happening in those GOP controlled states! Now that problem is being fixed by Fanni Willis and I hope some other state DAs.

Scari lake ....snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
How did Tony Deluca win?Hes been dead over a month and never even campaigned since he was going through cancer treatment.
Hilarious! I would vote for a dead guy
Election candidates have to be in by a certain time and then the sheet is frozen...and evidently Tony was in by the "drop dead" point.
This entire story is a crock of BS. Pathetic
A sea of red....faces.
Wonder how Israel does elections?
Continuously, if the recent past is any guide.
Can you imagine if no one was ever an "election skeptic" how sloppy our voting systems would actually be?
Being skeptical isn't the same thing as outright denying reality.
@@trevorsole3933 like democrats blaming the Russians for 4 years and having tax payers fund an investigation that led to Clinton's campaign? Those same people still say the Russians decided the election with no proof.
@@trevorsole3933 denying the reality that only in important states it takes twice as long and only ever goes one way?

Pay close attention to Joe Biden's Polices, and what he actually says, because that's what he means, even though, his team gets out to clean up what he said.
Is that what you heard?
I know right? Lol. Slippery grifters..
Biden has actually called republicans terrorists while saying we should work together. You politically aligned folks are looney.
Dems and RINOs and the same… MAGA is neither…
Alot of denial on both sides but these networks are slanted.

Election skeptics? Like al gore, hillary, abrams?
They all conceded. Al gore had an incredibly tight margin and conceded when a winner was determined.
Not the same as refusing to concede or spreading lies creating doubts about the process
Everyone I don't like is an election skeptic.
@@wascallywabbit2057 “winner was determined” no the Supreme Court stopped the count short of a month because the left was seething that their climate grifter lost.

Hahaha Arizona still hasn't been called??? Someone look at the numbers
properly dated mail in votes are accepted and counted
What Numbers bozo?
Hobbs has to count her votes.
They need to find one more ballot box first..
The race for Senate in AZ has been called (of course Kelly had a much larger margin there).
A clean election is important.
Election Day is just that Day, not week.
Shout out to DJT!!!
Are you just pretending to be ignorant?
Yeah , we can get it right in Florida but what the F is wrong with everyone else ??
America needs voter integrity laws like Florida
Uh, yeah, that's why it's called Election Day... then they tally all the votes. Why do you supposed "patriots" always want to keep U.S. citizens from voting? Is it because you know that most Americans still oppose fascism? You've been forced to embrace some very anti-American stances in your defense of your clown daddy and his Big Lies.
Some states aren't allowed to count mail in ballots before election day. Those are red and purple states. Blame your party for it taking longer to count the votes.
Also, it has always taken days for larger states to get all the votes counted. It's the media who calls elections on election night, not the state election officials. You're confusing media ptojections with actual results. Get educated.

Our elections shouldn't have mass mail in ballots. No ballot harvesting and proper security.. the fact this isn't done shows just how badly each governor that doesn't make this law should be removed and replaced. Until this system is fixed, I will never cast a vote. If the people of this country don't demand it, this country deserves to fall. Plain and simple
Mail on ballots have been around since the early 40's. It isn't going away because more people can mail in a ballot and give people more freedom to vote than committing time out of their day to go personally.
We are better off with people like you not voting. Please don’t in the future as well
It's good you do not vote 😅😅😅
PA Dems sent out over 250,000 mail in ballots to unregistered and ineligible people.
Keep those magatears coming.
