Here’s where I’m having trouble with the math: is this about the high number of ballots FOR Harris or is it also about the number of ballots requested but not turned in? Were ballots being changed, collected and not turned in? If ballots were collected but not turned in, it means we can’t only look at the numbers FOR Harris to determine if fraud took place but also consider that votes were destroyed which broadens the possibilities it could have impacted the numbers. And if a Harris vote was changed to a Dem vote, that changes the margin by 2, right?

Do the completed absentee ballots show who they belong to? Does it only depend on a legible signature? What do we think investigators will do? Contact each absentee voter to see if A. They turned one in B. How they turned one in. C. If it still reflects how they voted (was it altered?)

It's suspected that the Harris campaign may have both illegally filled out absentee ballots AND destroyed absentee ballots for McCready. I assume they will be speaking with individual absentee voters, because there are affidavits from voters that the Harris campaign took their absentee ballots.

AFAIK there is no way to determine a ballot was returned by a specific voter, which makes C moot.

Hoyer repeats that Dems will not seat Harris. Since the House is the ultimate judge of its own membership, a court will laugh at Harris. House Admin can order a new election or theoretically even seat McCready immediately, though Pelosi will not do the latter. See IN-8 1985.



As a Dem, I want the to seat McCready.

As someone who believes in fair play I want them to seat Pittenger, or leave the seat vacant until 2020.

Only on Atlas could you find someone so deluded they would think that this seat should either go to a). go the someone who lost in the primary or b). have its constituents deprived of their constitutional right to representation.
