Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said there will not be an amendment vote on extending expiring ObamaCare enhanced subsidies as part of a House Republican health care bill this week, in a move that is infuriating moderate Republicans who had been pushing to go on the record about the subsidies.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), one of the members who had been pushing for a vote to extend the subsidies that expire Dec. 31, fumed at the decision as he emerged from a House Republican Conference meeting Tuesday morning.
“I think it’s idiotic not to have an up-or-down vote on this issue,” Lawler said, adding: “It is political malpractice.”
Vote fixing is not that easy.
Massive landslide victories will be far too obvious. I am not sure if there is a “Your honor, this is clearly bullshit” clause for recounts but it will trigger them.
As for the closer stuff? Yes, electronic voting is deeply stupid and dangerous. But it is also worth understanding that many systems are still built around a paper ballot that you feed into it. And those will show massive discrepancies. ESPECIALLY in the “blue states” where these wins would most matter.
For a presidential election? I could see a world where very targeted election fraud could MAYBE be pulled off, but I stand by: can you imagine the chuds and musk NOT bragging about outright fraud?
But for midterms and anything down ballot? The places that matter most are the ones where republicans don’t control the state government in its entirety. And when the recount is like 20% different than the reported vote?
Nah. Election fraud is the distraction. They’ll just perform, ANOTHER, violent insurrection and take the government by force.
