Pennsylvania becomes epicenter of 2020 election chaos [October 5, 2020]

[FLASHBACK] Pennsylvania has become the epicenter of the 2020 election chaos that experts warned was coming, with courts changing ballot rules, disputes over poll watchers, new voting machines being put to the test, and disinformation spreading rapidly in the swing state.

It's all coming to a head with early voting already underway and Election Day about four weeks away.

Lawsuits brought by Democrats and Republicans in the Keystone State have forced judges to change some of the rules for the election at the last minute -- and the legal fights aren't over.

A series of rulings from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended the deadline for when mail ballots can be accepted after Election Day. The state's high court also tweaked the policy for so-called "naked ballots," meaning mail ballots that are missing an inner envelope will not get counted.

While these rulings cleared the way for local officials to mail out millions of ballots to voters who requested them, the election procedures still aren't set in stone. Republicans have asked the Supreme Court to block the ruling, and they're also seeking relief in a related federal lawsuit.

Also, because of new election laws passed in 2019, this is the first year that any Pennsylvania voter can vote by mail. This is also the first presidential election where the state will use new voting systems that provide a paper trail and the opportunity for robust post-election audits.

While Pennsylvania has already seen some early hiccups, the post-election process could be even more chaotic. State Republicans started taking steps that could potentially disrupt the vote-counting process or even lead to attempts to overturn the results of the popular vote.

I went to bed last night at 1:30 AM eastern, and Trump was up by 700K votes.

Pollster I was watching on Steve Bannon war room was analyzing PA results county-by-county, and said with total ballots remaining, there was NO WAY Biden could come close to winning.

Then this. WTF????

PA and WI doing their best to steal the election. Happened in Minnesota when Al Franken won and happened in Wisconsin when Tony Evers beat Scott Walker. Nothing ethical about Democrats (and now we’ve seen nothing ethical in the media).

If I ran one of those news shows I would play the video of Biden bragging about their voter fraud system at every commercial break.

PA has LONG been a state of pure fraud on every level of government... from small townships on up to the state. I know because I used to live there.

I think PA is the smokescreen. If Biden can carry NV, MI and WI, then he reaches 270 without PA, GA or NC. I think the decision was made to steal MI and WI more easily than to steal PA where everyone is watching.

Once Biden gets to 270, he and the media will declare him the winner and demand Trump move out immediately.

BTW, if Trump loses, he’s then eligible to run again in 2024 (ala Grover Cleveland).

Anyone else recall the story this past week about the Deep State software used to affect ‘foreign’ elections? The 200k votes for Biden at 4:00 am, with NO other candidate getting ANY votes sure smells like Deep State.

Pennsylvania [controlled by Democrats] has become the epicenter of the 2020 election chaos that experts warned was coming, with courts changing ballot rules ... the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended the deadline for when mail ballots can be accepted after Election Day. The state's high court also tweaked the policy for so-called "naked ballots" ... While these rulings cleared the way for local officials to mail out millions of ballots ... the post-election process could be even more chaotic.

"... the post-election process could be even more chaotic." (Ya think? Duh.)

As I've often said since the ongoing BLM/Antifa riots began in May (during the CCP Wu-Flu global invasion), the dumb-as-a-doornail Democrat politicians (such as Bernie, AOC, Harris/biden, Ilhan Omar, Pelosi, The Squad, Obama, Hillary, Schumer, etc.) are not remotely smart enough to imagine and strategize the 2020 Election-Year Chaos. Enter George Soros who has been actually practicing this kind of stuff, in the real world, for decades in smaller countries as proving grounds. Soros's Open Society foundation site says Soros donated $32 Billion of his $40B net worth to his Open Society foundations. Since the mid-90's, Soros has intensely focused his foundations' funding in the U.S, placing Soros-funded radical leftists in top positions in the U.S. media, government, business, legal system, activist/progressive organizations, and academia.

Soros says he desperately tried to stop President George W. Bush and failed (but Soros learned valuable lessons from that failure). The Founding Fathers' unique structuring of the U.S. government has hindered Soros's anti-U.S. plans in the past but the patient Soros continues to intensely poke and prod the U.S., relentlessly determined to totally undermine and dismantle the United States. In his many books, writings, and speeches, Soros has strongly implied the U.S. (and thus President Trump) is his #1 Enemy. Soros is an evil genius.

So if you're still baffled as to how the dumb-as-a-doornail Democrats (think Pelosi, Schumer, Harris/biden, and AOC) could possibly have outfoxed the Republicans in 2020, they haven't. George Soros has.
