So, then the question remains, Cortes’ assertions aside, what is the proportion of genuinely Biden-only to genuinely Trump-only ballots (where only the Presidential race was voted on) in Georgia — no disputes in frickin’ MAINE, as far as I know — compared to the Dem-to-GOP proportion in most Presidential election years?

I suppose that question would be resolved by an audit, or even a real recount — as opposed to the let’s-throw-this-thing-to-Biden exercise that just concluded — in which at least some of the hinky, genuinely Biden-only ballots would get thrown out.

Indeed. To get to the bottom of this thing, you need to go all the way, not just look in corners that favor our candidate.

RE: what is the proportion of genuinely Biden-only to genuinely Trump-only ballots (where only the Presidential race was voted on) in Georgia

Here’s what we know as per this report:

https://news.yahoo.com/georgia-gop-chairman-citing-biden-133908310.html

(EXCERPT)

“There were unusually large numbers of people who voted only for Joe Biden and in no other election,” David Shafer, chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, told National Review. “We don’t know what that means. We don’t know if it’s an irregularity or if it’s just evidence that there is support for Republicans down the ticket.”

Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff received just shy of 100,000 fewer votes than Biden. Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue received about 800 more votes than Trump.

(End Excerpt)

What the statement above does not tell us is this -— were there ballots WITH NO OTHER VOTES IN THEM ( local or senate or congressional ) but only a mark for Biden or Trump?

If the answer is yes, by how much did Biden win in such “President-only” marked ballots?

If it’s just a few hundreds, maybe we can say it isn’t unusual.

But if it is by nearly a hundred thousand, then there is cause for suspicion of pre-designed voting.

How can we tell without an audit? Georgia never did one, all they did was a recount.

“Why do you keep posting left wing garbage on this site?”

Agreed. If I want to waste my time with this trash, I can just watch CNN, or listen to NPR.

Let me make my example more clear.

If we have a vote and there are two races to vote for, and only the first ever gets votes, what do you take away from that?

Either something is keeping the second race from being voted on, or the first race didn’t really get all the votes it got, if any votes.

Now, what are the odds in the election covering dozens of races all were shorted the same amount and only the first one got the votes?

Also, why would numbers at night show no other race getting incremented during these overnight off hours? In other words, how does Biden jump 100,000 votes at the same time no other race gets anything? That tells us these weren’t simple situations in which people were randomly not voting for some down ballot races while making sure they voted for Biden.

So we can know individual ballots based on only Biden numbers changing during a period of time and we can know these votes had only Biden votes on the entire ballot.

The conservative National Review’s Dan McLaughlin said the difference between the total votes cast for the presidential race and the Perdue-Ossoff contest renders “the 95,000 number … mathematically impossible.”

No, there could be Perdue / Ossoff only votes too which did not select anyone for President, especially if they needed to dilute the vote total of Perdue to cause a runoff.

No; one does not include fraud. It has to be “not”.

I agree we can’t be afraid to see what we see. A lot of voters sickened by believing lies lies lies, fakepeachment, Russia, swamp.

I do personally think the vote counting in urban Dem strongholds was corrupt for years but was cocky and careless this time after all the propaganda and conditioning from covid, riots, etc.

I agree with the posting of occasional articles like this one, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste my time refuting it.

I grew up on a farm, I know cattle shit when I see it.

Bullshite fact free reality check from a “fact” checker who doesn’t check.

Wait for the Audit, which will file next week. Any and all mail in ballots that cannot be verified will be... rejected and removed from the count. GA state Law applied in an Audit.
100K is a low ball figure of the biden only and no down ballot votes on pristine, single folded batches of ballots.

that and the machine vote reversals and the data dump from Germany. Bang, zoom. zip pfffft.

When those 100,000 all came in at the same time, that’s stretching the characteristization that “many voters only vote for president” way too thin.

The majority on a jury would not buy that as a legitimate explanation. Jeesh, the shit some people will spew knowing news-rags will eat it up and repeat it.

RE: My concern is a lot of people on the right are hearing what they want to hear and are not evaluating what they are hearing.

Don’t stop at the article, READ ON. There are many FReepers who responded to this so-called Fact Check with good reasoning as well. The irregularity has NOT been totally refuted by this “Fact Check”.

Ignore the usual one liners like “Fact Check sucks” they are of no use to us for purposes of finding the truth.

See Posts #25, #28 and #29 as examples of good counter arguments.

How did you know that all those 100,000 came in AT THE SAME TIME? This is Georgia. Where was this reported?

Talking in relativistic terms is what the left does. Truth is not subjective; we are after the truth, which “FactCheck.org” never is.

Yes, I’ve heard about the pristine, single folded batches of ballots. I’d like to read more about them. Did they come in the same batch? WHO was elected in them? How NUMEROUS ARE THEY? <— these questions were never answered.

The only way to truly check the votes is by a hand recount of the original ballots not the machine made ballots!!
