First, the background… On Super Tuesday the biggest shock was that Joe Biden won Texas in the Democrat presidential primary.
Specifically, it was the moment when results from Dallas County, Texas, were reported when the media narrative of a Biden win began to be broadcast. Go back to election night, re-watch the coverage, and you’ll see all media broadcasting pointing to Dallas County, Texas, as the Biden inflection point.
Now this:
Sketchy as heck. These are not Russians; these are U.S. election officials.
TEXAS – Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole discovered her office did not count about 10% of the ballots that voters cast on Super Tuesday.
She is now asking a court to let her conduct a manual recount of the votes, after she discovered 44 thumb drives containing ballots that were not included in the final results.
[…] “Of the 44 thumb drives, 16 were not received in a timely manner to the Elections Department and 28 were from voting machines not scheduled to be used but were used by volunteer election officials,” Pippins-Poole said in a statement Saturday evening addressing the blunder.
“We need to investigate this entirely, immediately. The time has absolutely come for Toni Pippins-Poole to step down as elections administrator,” Dallas County Commissioner J.J. Koch told WFAA. “I deeply regret that this is happening in Dallas County right now. There’s already enough questions about our ability to serve the people of Dallas County. This is tremendously damaging to our local democracy.”
Pippins-Poole filed the petition and affidavit in court late Friday, according to county officials.
In the affidavit accompanying the court petition, Pippins-Poole said she only made the discovery while reconciling the books and discovered she did not have enough ballots for everyone who showed up to vote.
She now wants to recount and re-tabulate votes in both the Democratic and Republican primary elections. (read more)
Dallas county and Dallas itself are wastelands.
Don’t live there—commute from other counties or don’t work in Dallas.
Their fire department pension was barely saved. Thankfully, the state did not use taxpayer money to bail it out.
Texas is still Republican.
Dallas has been Austin-ized.
Is the election certified? If so then it’s over.
Chicago and Detroit since the 1960s are really late in tabulating results. After they see how many votes for a certain Dem are lacking from outstate margins they suddenly “find” lots of new uncounted or undercounted votes and voila—their candidate won after all.
The Detroit suburb vote in Oakland County story:
Fox News, Sept.24, 2019
A Michigan official who earlier this year received an award from the state’s Democratic Party is now facing six felony charges for allegedly forging records and falsely marking absentee ballots as invalid during the 2018 election.
Fire whoever was in charge of the election; the count is over, and certified.
No more ballots showing up after the election to change the result.
Dallas and Super just don’t go together anymore.
"What happened?"
Results on thumb drives? Is this what passes for a legitimate election these days? What a joke.

All ballots must be compliant with chain of custody rules.
Well, at least the cheating has evolved a little with newer technology. In the past, it was boxes of paper ballots being found under the church basement stairs, IIRC.
Next we will be told that it’s ok because there is an iron-clad chain of custody, that being the glove compartment of a Democrat official’s private automobile, which was always locked.
Dallas County has been taken over by “progressives.” They can’t do math, can’t read, and can’t write. But they wad their panties and call anyone a racist who says they are incompetent.
Sorry. There needs to be prompt and severe punishment for this kind of behavior.
The person responsible needs to be fired as a minimum, and some county judge needs to step in to review the process and votes.
Naw. Must just be a coincidence.
Thumb drives. Can’t get any more secure than that!

Every one of these incidents need to result in prosecutions for election officials. The shenanigans will end very quickly.
Nothing to see here. Move on.
FYI....Washington state is initiating cell phone voting this year....can’t wait for that one !
I suppose DjT and the feds can mandate voting procedures for national elections/races. States may choose optional methods for their state races, but that would prove wasteful and confusing which would cause most to use national guidelines. iMHO
Expect DjT to fix this before he leaves office, too. As we see every cycle, it’s currently a clusterF***.
