Joe Biden Can’t Defend His Own Legitimacy
Warrom ^ | 7/14/2021 | Boris Epshteyn

Posted on 07/14/2021 7:52:29 AM PDT by cuz1961

Joe Biden went to Philadelphia on Tuesday and embarrassed himself. This was promoted as a soaring speech about voting rights but turned out to be a pathetic defense of why Biden deserves to be in the Oval Office.

Let’s go to the videotape:

Biden said “Audits, recounts were conducted in Arizona, in Wisconsin. In Georgia, it was recounted three times.” claiming that these actions somehow prove that his election was legitimate.

Wrong. The Wisconsin audit of just two counties, Milwaukee and Dane, showed over 200,000 unlawful ballots in an election decided by just about 20,000.

The Maricopa County, Arizona audit is ongoing, with the discrepancies reportedly found being so immense, additional checks are needed.

2.1 million ballots are being audited in Maricopa County and the certified difference in the election was barely over 10,000 votes.

Georgia is a terrible cesspool where, according recent reports, tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of ballots were likely invalid.

A judge recently ruled in favor of a push to unseal 147,000 ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, alone.

Under 12,000 votes separates Joe Biden and Donald Trump in Georgia.

Biden went on to claim “In America, if you lose, you accept the results. You follow the Constitution. You try again. You don’t call facts “fake” and then try to bring down the American experiment just because you’re unhappy. That’s not statesmanship.”

So Joe Biden wants to follow the Constitution but also wants to unconstitutionally federalize elections, as his favored H.R. 1 would do? What a bunch of nonsense.

Also – let’s not forget that it was Joe Biden who pushed to undermine President – elect Trump and his team in January of 2017. So much for “statesmanship.”

Without an ounce of self – reflection, Joe Biden went on to proclaim that “Bullies and merchants of fear, peddlers of lies, are threatening the very foundation of our country.”

Biden is correct, the foundation of our country is being threatened, but is not being threatened by the scrutiny of the 2020 election, it is threatened by the deranged, woke Democrats who will do anything possible to stop America from examining the 2020

contest.

This speech was Team Biden’s response to the freight train of election audits coming across the country and arriving in Pennsylvania last week, with State Senator Doug Mastriano requesting full forensic reviews of Philadelphia, York and Tioga counties.

Philadelphia has been a hotspot of Democrat voter fraud for decades with an elections judge recently being indicted there for… election fraud.

So scared is the left of these in depth looks into the 2020 election that they had the current occupant of the Oval Office rush to Philadelphia, one of the counties whose election results are being subjected to the forensic review, and deliver an angry screed that didn’t say anything but, effectively “leave me alone.”

Biden continued to rant and rave, called the MAGA movement childish names and used Adolf Hitler’s rhetoric in referring to the drive to get to the bottom of the 2020 election as a “Big Lie.”

We don’t know who truly runs this White House, it sure isn’t Biden, since he appears to be barely able to run anything these days.

Whoever is in control, be it Ron Klain or Susan Rice, made a major mistake by sending out feeble Joe Biden to defend his own weak legitimacy.

Remember, according to a recent poll by Rasmussen 55 percent of voters already support the election audits.

Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia is sure to only drive that number higher.

Biden’s anger, his weakness, and the actually facts about 2020 only add legitimacy and steam to the freight train of audits that surely won’t be derailed by an incoherent jumble of words from Joe Biden.

Why are liberals afraid of election audits?

I understand their guy is now President, so they don’t want to upset the applecart so to speak. But from the standpoint of transparency, and wanting to show the public that we have free and fair elections, why would Democrats oppose audits?

The Democrats must have a new definition of transparency. Jen Psaki used the word transparent in relation to the purchasers of Hunter Biden’s “artwork” being anonymous. The propaganda media goes along with whatever the Democrats say so I guess there was no media outcry over that ridiculous use of the word transparent.

The Democrats are running around like cockroaches caught when the lights go on in the kitchen.

They are really acting guilty.

There are many participants here who defend Biden’s “presidency” and call him legitimate and advocate total obedience to the illegitimate government.

“wanting to show the public that we have free and fair elections, why would Democrats oppose audits?”

But they don’t want that. Why do you imagine that they want that?

They want to show the People who is in power, and what happens to you if you question it.

Georgia Republican lawmaker wants to emulate Delaware’s ‘draconian’ voting laws......Which sent Joe Biden to DC for fifty years

By Isabel Hughes,Sarah Gamard,Delaware News Journal

UPDATE: This story has been updated to include additional information Cantrell provided following the publication of this article.

As Democrats in Delaware move to expand voter access for state residents, a Georgia Republican lawmaker said he wants to emulate the First State’s current laws, calling them “draconian.”

In a Facebook post last week, which Georgia state Rep. Wes Cantrell acknowledged was a “political stunt,” the metro Atlanta Republican targeted President Joe Biden’s recent comments about Georgia’s new election law. The bill passed late last month.

Biden has called the law “un-American,” saying it “is Jim Crow in the 21st century.” Other prominent Democrats, including U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. — whom Cantrell also targeted in the Facebook post — have decried the reforms.

GEORGIA VOTING LAW EXPLAINED:Here’s what to know about the state’s new election rules

Georgia is one of a number of Republican-controlled states that has or is vying to enact more restrictive voting rules following widespread and largely unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 elections.

According to the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, as of late last month, at least 47 states had introduced bills to restrict voting access. The four states where the most bills have been filed are Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania, all of which went for Biden last year.

In his tongue-in-cheek Facebook post, which had garnered nearly 1,000 shares as of Friday, Cantrell said he planned to name his bill “The President Joe Biden Jim Crow on Steroids Voting Act.”

“Since President Biden seems to be very concerned about our laws here in Georgia, this bill will make Georgia’s voting laws identical to those of his home state of Delaware,” Cantrell wrote. “As a result, it will have 5 key features.”

Cantrell’s first proposal is to limit Georgia’s early voting period. Instead of offering nearly three weeks, “we will have ZERO days of early voting JUST LIKE DELAWARE!” he wrote.

Currently, Delaware residents who are not voting absentee cannot vote early, though that will change next year. In 2019, the General Assembly passed a bill to allow in-person early voting in 2022.

The bill allows voters to cast their ballot up to 10 days ahead of any general, primary or special election — including the weekend before Election Day. Rep. David Bentz, a Democrat who represents Christiana and who sponsored the bill, said the extra time to vote would reduce long lines and help those who can’t easily travel to the polls on Election Day.

DELAWARE BILLS:Democrats move to expand voter access in Delaware as GOP support wanes post-2020 election

Cantrell’s second proposal wants to rid Georgia of no-excuse absentee voting — a reform lawmakers in the Southern state had initially proposed as part of the recently passed law, but later dropped.

Under Delaware law, residents must give a valid reason, such as being sick or disabled, to vote absentee. State lawmakers changed the requirement in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic and are now trying to make it permanent.

In January, Bentz introduced House Bill 75, which would implement no-excuse absentee voting. This will likely be the most difficult bill for Delaware lawmakers to pass despite many other states already allowing it.

In the Facebook post, Cantrell said he also wants to emulate Delaware’s policy on ballot drop boxes — though his initial proposal wasn’t completely accurate.

“Instead of having plenty of secure drop boxes in Georgia, there will be no drop boxes JUST LIKE DELAWARE!” he wrote.

Delaware does currently have drop boxes, but they’re located at county elections offices. Residents must also drop their ballot at the specific county office that issued their absentee ballot.

In Georgia, all county elections offices must have a drop box, but other polling places, too, can offer the boxes.

RELATED:Democrats and Republicans are battling over voting in Congress and at statehouses. Which side will win?

While Georgia’s recent restrictions reduce the number allowed in each county — Gwinnett, a metro-Atlanta county with a population slightly more than the state of Delaware, had 23 drop boxes but now is restricted to fewer than 10 — there are still more locations in Georgia than Delaware.

Cantrell clarified Tuesday afternoon, saying that he does not count drop boxes in elections offices. He did not make that clear in the initial post, however.

Cantrell’s Facebook post also addressed the distribution of food and water at Delaware polls.

“Instead of being able to get drink/food from a non-poll worker outside of the 150 foot buffer & drink from a poll worker within the barrier in Georgia, it will be illegal to receive anything of value while standing in line to vote JUST LIKE DELAWARE!” he said.

Like many states, Delaware law forbids electioneering and bribery. But the state’s election laws do not mention the distribution of food and water.

In a follow-up post Tuesday, Cantrell said to followers that they “can decide if food/water qualifies as ‘anything of value.’”

Cantrell isn’t the only Georgian who suggested Delaware prohibits distributing sustenance. Gabriel Sterling, a top elections official in the state, said late last month that Georgia polling restrictions were “actually the law in the president’s home state of Delaware.”

Finally, Cantrell said he wants to mimic Delaware in announcing voters’ names before they cast their ballots.

In Georgia, residents can vote “in relative quiet,” he said. His proposal wants voters’ names to be announced out loud, along with their party affiliation during a primary, “so that your vote can be challenged by anyone in the precinct JUST LIKE DELAWARE!”

Though much of Cantrell’s post was satirical, Delaware Democrats have been trying to reform state voting laws, particularly the more dated ones.

OTHER PROPOSED LAWS:Stricter gun laws sought in Delaware. Here’s what could change

In addition to pushing for no-excuse absentee voting, lawmakers want to allow an automatic voter registration system at the Division of Motor Vehicles.

Senate Bill 5 proposes that anyone getting a driver’s license with proof of citizenship would automatically be registered. They’d later be notified by mail, where they could then choose their political party.

Another bill, House Bill 25, would let voters register to vote on the same day as an election. Right now, the deadline to register is about four weeks beforehand. Applicants would need a government-issued photo ID and proof of their address.

“We’re in a posture in Delaware, where we are attempting to expand voting rights in really significant ways where most of the headlines these days are states that are moving forward with restricting voting access,” said Dwayne Bensing, a legal expert with the American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware.

“But I guess in some ways, Delaware is also trying to catch up with a lot of states.”

One has to have at least two functioning brain cells and at least one synapse between them in order to successfully gaslight half the population of the United States.
