Trump’s Fraud Claims Hit a Barr:he AG says the feds have seen no evidence that would overturn Joe Biden's victory (WSJ editorial)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 12/2/2020 | WSJ Editors

Posted on 12/02/2020 1:57:05 PM PST by nicollo

Bill Barr can take the heat, and on Tuesday the stalwart Attorney General guaranteed he’ll get it when he said “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

Mr. Barr told the Associated Press that allegations of “particularized” fraud, with some that “potentially cover a few thousand votes,” are being explored. But President Trump is down by 150,000 votes in Michigan, 80,000 in Pennsylvania, and 20,000 in Wisconsin. As for the idea that voting machines were compromised, Mr. Barr said the feds “have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”

Voters sent a complicated message this election, apparently denying President Trump a second term but handing Republicans down-ballot victories. Mr. Trump is challenging the vote counts in several states but remains a long shot to carry enough to win. Join WSJ Opinion to assess the election results and what they mean for the next administration.

As specific claims of fraud get knocked down, however, the broader tale of election theft takes on the nature of the unfalsifiable. “We won the election easily,” Mr. Trump said Sunday. He later added: “It’s not like you’re going to change my mind.” But where’s the hard evidence to convince the country? Many of the theories floating around don’t withstand scrutiny.

This narrowly selected and poorly reasoned dismissal of ELECTION FRAUD from the Never-Trumpers at the Journal betrays their bias and self-delusion.

I'm curious as to Freeper's rebuttals of the individual points, which are:

I have a few thoughts, including:

If anyone thinks 80 million people voted for a Pedophile and a Prostitute, they just might be a STUPID Liberal

Biden most likely got 25 to 33% of the vote total and that is being generous!

As this article by Natural News states that Trump should declare Martial Law.............I AGREE 100%.

THIS IS WAR and the Demonrat Party has declared it with their actions on November 3rd

Editors claim that population growth since 2012 of 17mm accounts for 2020 turnout.

Wouldnt the oldest of the population growth be eight years old?

Naturalized citizens would be part of the growth but not 17mm

Editors claim that testimony is hearsay

They have no idea what hearsay really means. A first-hand eyewitness account is not hearsay.

So. If I understand this correctly, the President claimed today that the election was fraudulent for a number of reasons, supported by testimony both in person and through affidavits. AG Barr was quoted in an interview by the WSJ yesterday that there was illegality and fraud in the election, but that it was insufficient to overturn the results of the election. We do not know if this quote by the WSJ is accurate or complete. Therefore, the quote attributed to AG Barr overrules the statement and testimonial evidence offered by the President? WTH?

Lincoln never did that despite a rather difficult election in 1864. The posse comitatus act would prevent elections under military authority, that's why it was passed. We have a solution in state legislatures if they choose to exercise it.

WSJ have become SJW (social justice warriors) and are claiming insane positions as any SJW. Barr should be fired for saying that the machines were looked at by the FBI because Trump says nothing has been looked at. If they were looked they were looked at in the same way as Hunter’s laptop. I think Barr knows that if he probes into this he is going to find his own people, the intel agencies and military were involve in this coup/fraud. He should be flogged up and down the streets for being the deceptive fat coward that he is. Thank G W Bush who is also a coward hiding behind his religion for grooming him.
