‘You Say We’re All Liars’: Rand Paul Has Fiery Debate With George Stephanopoulos
The Daily Wire ^ | JANUARY 24, 2021 | Joseph Curl

Posted on 01/24/2021 10:03:58 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

George Stephanopoulos, the former press secretary for Bill Clinton turned ABC host, came out of the chute fast when he sat down with Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday’s “This Week” political talk show.

“Senator Paul, let me begin with a threshold question for you. This election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?”

Paul most definitely did not accept that fact.

“Well, what I would say is that the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur, we never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence. Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question. There were several states in which the law was changed by the Secretary of State and not the state legislature.”

“To me, those are clearly unconstitutional, and I think there’s still a chance that those actually do finally work their way up to the Supreme Court. Courts traditionally and historically don’t like to hear election questions. But yes. Were there people who voted twice? Were there dead people who voted? Were there illegal aliens who voted? Yes, and we should get to the bottom of it,” Paul said.

“I’ll give you an example. In my state, when we had a Democrat Secretary of State, she refused, even under federal order, to purge the rolls of illegal voters. We got a Republican Secretary of State and he purged the rules.”

But Stephanopoulos cut in, saying: “I have to stop you there. No election is perfect. But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed. Every state certified the results.”

Short little Stephy should still be in prison after the crimes he committed in the Clinton sex coverups: perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, ________ (Fill in the blanks). He’s a wormy little man who has to sit on phone books just to reach the top of the table. POS

Paul most definitely did not accept that unproven claim that goes against much court-filed evidence, whose merits have yet to be judicially weighed.

Fixed.

I watched the debate. Never occurred to me that there was anything fiery at all. Maybe I am wired up differently. Fiery to me means someone walks over to Georgie and bitch-slaps him to the floor, like he deserves.

“There is no evidence”.......

until a court decides to take up the case...

and not simply throw out the case(s) because of ‘no standing’.

Democrats rely on ‘no evidence’ because they have not heard the truth and the evidence.

If the evidence points to somebody being the murderer in a case, but the person bringing up the case has ‘no standing’, then, the murderer will never be brought up on charges and will get away with his crime(s).

Left wing “facts” are like the seriousness of the charges. It matters whom they support or whom they undermine.

In at least one reported 2020 voting fraud incident, election officials hand-counted votes
then put the ballots through the FIXED DOMINION machine and came up with MORE BIDEN VOTES
than the hand-counts showed.

The flabbergasted officials redid the process——and again the machine came up with MORE votes for Biden

It’s in black and white-—— in their training manual:
<><> The Dominion tallying system is engineered with a WEIGHTED VOTE option.
<><> You enter a percentage that you want to apply to votes in a particular race;
<><> Dominion machines will increase the vote total by that percentage.
Is this used for anything else but to steal elections?

Dominion voting software can permit staff to manually adjust ballot returns during counting process
Process of “adjudication” allows for “resolution of voter intent.”

Voting software deployed by the election hardware company Dominion Voting Systems can allow election staffers to manually adjust tally amounts while reviewing scanned ballot images, a process that the company says allows for “resolution of voter intent” in cases where ballot marks are unclear.

Dominion has been at the center of tumultuous controversy since the election amid reports of glitchy and/or unreliable voting software and hardware. The company has a presence in a majority of U.S. states, including critical battleground states in which Democratic challenger Joe Biden has been declared the winner by major media outlets.

President Trump has suggested that malfeasance by Dominion is responsible for the narrow edge in posted vote totals that Biden holds in those states. Dominion, meanwhile, has unequivocally denied any wrongdoing or errors within its machines.

“No credible reports or evidence of any software issues exist,” the company has stated on its website. “Dominion equipment is used by county and state officials to tabulate ballots. Human errors related to reporting tabulated results have arisen in a few counties, including some using Dominion equipment, but appropriate procedural actions have been taken by the county to address these errors were made prior to the canvass process.”

The company also stated that “vote deletion/switching assertions” that have circulated since the election are “completely false.”

‘Anybody who has Dominion has this’

The company has claimed that “it is not possible for a bad actor to change election results without detection.” Dominion does, meanwhile, allow at least one avenue for manual adjustment of vote tallies as part of a process known as “adjudication.”

Santa Clara County, California, as part of its agreement with Dominion Voting Systems, stipulates that the company’s software must allow county staff “to adjust tally based on review of scanned ballot images.”

Evelyn Mendez, the public information officer for the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters, said that “the wording [in the contract] is a little weird,” but that it refers to a provision meant to ensure that “adjudication” of uncertain votes can occur.

Adjudication, Mendez told Just the News, is used in circumstances such as when there’s a contest in which a single candidate must be chosen yet “someone votes for two.”

“It’s the process of looking at the ballot and determining, ‘Did the voter mean to do that’?” she said.

“If someone puts in a dot instead of a checkmark,” she added, “or if they didn’t bubble it the right way, our staff are looking at the ballot and confirming what’s correct.”

Mendez, who stressed that staffers are looking not at actual ballots but at scanned images of them, said that the process is performed by two individuals.

“Two people, one on the mouse and one on the clicker, are looking at the same screen, talking about the same ballot, determining the voter’s intent,” she said. “It’s a manual view of what voters meant to do. If staffers can’t figure out what to do, it goes to another level where further county officials can adjudicate it.”

>There were several states in which the law was changed by the Secretary of State and not the state legislature.”

“To me, those are clearly unconstitutional<

This is how the election should have been approached. A lot of states, more than “several” made unconstitutional changes to election law. The SC had just ruled in October of last year that they can’t do that.

These are things that don’t need investigations to show the evidence, it is clear as day. Texas tried and the SC shot it down, but someone else should have pushed it because someone has standing if Texas doesn’t.

I wish that someone would ask real questions to “journalists” like Stephanopoulos:
George, have you personally analyzed all the alleged evidence of election fraud in all 6 key states? How about the lists of out-of-state voters? The under 18 voters? The non-citizen voters? The dead voters? Have you read the thousand plus sworn affidavits by citizens who witnessed overt fraud and illegal counting operations? Seen the security films that caught cheating in real time?

If the out-of-state, non-citizen, underage, and dead totals alone add up to more than Biden’s purported margin of victory in a state, how do you know that Biden “won”? You don’t do you?

We don’t need to rely on the hundreds of thousands of ballots that should be thrown out for other reasons, and the hundreds of thousands that were “adjudicated”?
Are you aware that thousands of Biden ballots counted in Dane County, WI in the wee hours of 11-4-20 were all “witnessed” by one entity using the initials “MLW”? Do you understand that Dominion Voting Systems software allows election officials to “Adjudicate” ballots, essentially changing the votes on them to anything they please, and that vast numbers were thus “adjudicated” without witnesses in Democrat counting centers in key states?

Georgie, isn’t pretending there is no evidence of election fraud just another way of committing fraud?

(Microphone would have “malfunctioned” after “have you...”.)

You don’t fight as hard as you can to stop investigations into allegations of massive voter fraud if you have nothing to hide.

If you know there was no wide-ranging fraud, you welcome the accusers in to investigate so you can say “see, we won fair and square” to make the accusers look bad and to keep your candidate from always having a cloud over his head as an illegitimate office holder who only won by cheating.

The Dims did not welcome meaningful investigations; they fought them.

“””But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed.”””

Exactly the point. They were dismissed without a look. Responsible people in the courts and the Democrat party upon hearing the charges should have insisted they be heard and examined as minutely as possible. They couldnt however because the charges are true and they know it.

The election was stolen, no doubt. The question is, who was in on it. This could be like the Murder on the Orient Express. Everyone could be in on it. We have the deep state including the CIA. The DNC, the Chinese, the media, and big tech. I am not altogether sure if Biden himself is in on it. I think he was. But he may have been kept in the dark for plausible deniability.

I believe you are missing the Elephant in the room. It is quite ironic that the GOP Elephant was either the mastermind or part of the conspirators to take out Trump.

A couple of examples of the GOP being masterminds:

1. In PA it was the GOP Controlled Legislature that passed Act 77 in october 2019 that was against the PA Constitution and resulted in no-excuse mail-in voting.

2. In GA it was the GOP Controlled Legislature and Governor that allowed the GA SOS to enter into a settlement agreement in violation of GA laws.

3. In all situations after Nov 3, the GOP stonewalled any forensic investigation.

Even if they were dismissed, the mountains of evidence were NEVER looked at, so people like George have no idea what really went on because they choose to bury their heads in the sand.
