Newt Gingrich Spreads Doubts About Virginia Election: If It’s a Close Race, Democrats Will ‘Steal It’
Mediaite ^ | November 1,2021 | Josh Feldman

Fox News contributor and former Speaker Newt Gingrich raised the prospect of election fraud on the eve of the Virginia gubernatorial election.

Right now the race between Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin and Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe is very close, and Youngkin’s chances of winning have increased.

Sean Hannity asked Gingrich Monday night, “Does Youngkin need to win for this to have the maximum impact? What if it’s really tight?”

“If it’s really tight, they’ll steal it,” Gingrich responded. “So you can’t afford to have a really tight election. You have to win by a big enough margin they can’t steal it.”

Gingrich echoed earlier comments from former President Donald Trump, who cast doubt about the outcome in two separate statements backing Youngkin.

Trump has pushed numerous false election claims and baselessly insisted the 2020 election was stolen from him. In the days following that election, Gingrich went all-in pushing some of those baseless claims.f

But what matters is the authenticity of both sets. See the post about people trying to vote, but the records show they already had been issued an absentee ballot, which they had not...?

In Virginia, it doesn’t matter if you have been ISSUED an absentee ballot or not. Your ballot is TRACKED to YOU if you return it.

They are barcoded.

You can go on to the VA Department of Elections and track your ballot from the time it was requested to the time it was received back after you mail it back to the registrar.

If you get the ballot, and for some reason decide NOT to vote by mail, you can vote in person.

Absentee REQUESTS and BALLOTS are two different things.

There was actually fraudulent activity across the nation in 2020 [and other years, of course].

Of course, which is why GOP Governors need to put election integrity changes front burner, it's in their interests and we cannot do it.

I understand all that very well. I’ve requested a ballot and done the follow through. But see post number 19 here.

I simply don’t believe social media posts, and I don’t believe that happened as described without further proof.

Do you know this fellow who tweeted this? The authenticity is important.

Fair enough. I'm not sure what the motivation would be, and social media would be the first place to try and vent, after the family. I asked for some background, if available.

It doesn’t even have to be very close. If Virginia is still using voting machines, well, the algorithm in last November’s election in both Dominion and Smartmatic machines was 5% switch from R to D. That makes a 10% difference between R and D. Add to that the stealing of most of the mail in votes and addition of bogus votes in Fairfax County which will most likely end the process with more Democrat votes than there are voters and the Democrats will likely retain the governorship.

I believe you know that there are not only Dems that are counting on a Dem victory, but unfortunately several FReepers (see this thread) for an example. To them, if McAwful wins, it just drives home the point that the election was stolen / rigged. If Youngkin wins AT ALL, it blows the “elections are rigged now and forever” theory out of the water.

Virginia west of the Blue Ridge and south of I64 should all be Youngkin country.

The danger is in the Negro enclaves of Hampton Roads and Richmond were cheating is easy, practically a way of life. The black areas are completely lawless in the best of times. There is an overwhelming attitude in the black community of the need to win at any cost, legal or not.

Most of the obvious cheating in 2020 was in the black enclaves all over the nation. We even have video of a Negro woman feeding the same stack of ballots into the counting machine, over and over again. They know there is no penalty if they get caught.

Thanks. I see that so far McAuliffe is ahead, alas.

I heard that Youngkin has staffed up with lawyers at the polling places and that people have been standing sentry at the ballot drop boxes, so am hopeful the Dems won’t be able to steal enough votes to win.

No doubt that a lot of people are angry as hell and watching. This could all get very interesting in Virginia…

Trump won the election day vote in the machine precincts going away in Virginia. Why don’t you deal in actual facts rather than fantasy?

The 2020 election was NOT close, yet it was still stolen. I doubt that the real results of the recall election in California were close. The Democrats can blatantly steal elections now, and nothing is done. We are living in a lawless age.

The real fraud is against the lending institution. The fraud against the lender can not obligate me to repair the fraud that I was not a party to.

Sorry, I did not know that. I guess they are going to have to vote early and vote often.
