Palm Beach Went for Coloring Books, iPads Over Vote-Machine Upgrades
real Clear Investigation ^ | November 18, 2018

Posted on 11/19/2018 10:09:03 AM PST by SMGFan

Votes aren't the only things that haven't easily added up in Palm Beach County this election cycle. Neither have the South Florida county’s decisions to spend election-integrity funds on civic coloring books and iPads rather than on fixing voting machines that officials have long called a problem.

The same machines officials are blaming for delays in the recount of the Nov. 6 election were also blamed for problems in 2008 and 2012.

This is all part of a national strategy for 2020....knock out the deadline for the Electoral College (minimum of three states to screw up), and you get forced to the alternate method of the Presidency.

Beware the conservative messaging that says “incompetence” is the problem in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. It’s CORRUPTION, not incompetence.

Records show Palm Beach County this year used its $909,000 share of HAVA funds to buy iPads for voters to check in at the polls. A 2009 audit of the county’s elections department found the agency improperly spent $48,000 in HAVA money on coloring books.

The Traitorcrat-controlled House will do everything in their power to subvert the Constitution.

And the gutless coward RINOcrats in the Senate will do nothing to stop them.

The newly elected House & Senate count EVs . If no one reaches 270, House picks President. Each state delegation has 1 vote & 26 votes needed.

If they were competent they would have gotten away with it. You can have dumb crooks and smart crooks. These people are not smart.

This is all part of a national strategy for 2020....knock out the deadline for the Electoral College (minimum of three states to screw up), and you get forced to the alternate method of the Presidency.

12th Amendment says

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;—The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;—The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.
Note bold above. If a state fails to appoint electors, then they will not count. The winner will be the candidate with the largest number of actual transmitted electoral votes

So, ‘Rats are now going to use coloring books to garner votes?

Well, I guess it’s part and parcel of divining voter intent.

Duhh! Software upgrades and new equipment will not “fix” intentional voter fraud.

Each state delegation has 1 vote & 26 votes needed.


So this means that California gets 1 vote and Wyoming gets 1 vote. If a state’s Congressional delegation can’t agree—say evenly split between Rs & Ds, the state doesn’t get a vote.

If you can wipe out Georgia, Florida and Michigan’s ‘play’ into the Electoral College....ALL Trump win states in 2016, with the fraud you saw in delay tactics and judge games over the past couple of weeks....then the game goes to Trump’s opponent, unless the Supreme Court steps into the mess.

My county (not Palm Beach County) used iPads for check in and comparing signature on file with my signature on the pad. Worked smoothly and well. But we didn’t get a coloring book.
