Jake Tapper
CNN's Jake Tapper has been accused of promoting a political blacklist against conservatives after warning Trump supporters to think about how "future employers" will judge their character as a result of their political views.

"I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing - it's not easy," Tapper tweeted on Monday amidst President Donald Trump refusing to concede the election to Democrat Joe Biden and accusing, along with supporters, various states of voter fraud.

"But at a certain point one has to think not only about what's best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity," Tapper continued, adding that he doesn't expect the "ride-or-die crew to listen" to his views.

#MaidenGate: Women's maiden names claimed to be used in voter fraud scheme

Dozens of people calling for stopping the vote count in Pennsylvania due to alleged fraud against President Donald Trump gather on the steps of the State Capital on November 05, 2020 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Tens of thousands of people have reacted to US voter-fraud allegations, after a blogger claimed her mother's maiden name had been used to illegally cast a ballot. However, some believe it's just another 'baseless conspiracy.'

The hashtag #MaidenGate was launched late on Monday to highlight the story of the Donald Trump-supporting blogger 'Lauren,' who also goes by the letter 'L' online. By Tuesday morning, it had become one of the top American Twitter trends, having prompted tens of thousands of tweets, despite the fact that L's claims are baseless as of yet.

The MaidenGate saga began with Lauren's claim that her mother's vote had been"stolen in Michigan," where she used to live, by someone unknown who had used her maiden name to vote there. According to the blogger, her mother had told her about unusual election-related message she had received prior to Election Day. The message seemed curious to both women, as they were apparently falsely implying the mother was going to vote in Michigan.

Comment: Twitter user L (@SomeBitchIKnow) provided some helpful tips for those concerned:



American Greatness adds:
"#MaidenGate is a viral hashtag uncovering a peculiar type of abuse in our elections. Some married women vote in one state, under their current name, while someone — a political predator — casts a vote in that same state or a state which the woman previously lived under a previous or maiden name. This same technique may affect adopted persons, the divorced, people who changed their names and/or transgendered persons. The credit is owed to Lauren who discovered her mother was such a victim. Ali Alexander (video) independently verified claims like the one Lauren made are, in fact, true.


We are not looking for individuals who have registrations in multiple states. That's a problem but not this problem. We are not even looking for individuals who are registered multiple times in the same state. Again, a problem but not the scope of this problem. We are looking for individuals who voted in this election (or chose not to) but also had another vote cast in a previous legal name of theirs at an address they previously occupied."

Oregon's elections director was abruptly fired in a text message by the secretary of state after he pointed out serious issues with the state's aging and vulnerable technology for running elections.

Elections Director Stephen Trout learned in a text message Thursday night — as his department and county elections officials were still counting votes from the Nov. 3 election — that he was out.

On Friday, Secretary of State Bev Clarno, a Republican appointed to the position by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, announced to county clerks and other elections officials in Oregon's 36 counties that "today is also Steve Trout's last day with the Agency."

Election officials in the state were stunned.

Milwaukee elections head misplaced crucial voting flash drive

Claire Woodall-Vogg voter flash drive
A flash drive that contained crucial absentee voter information in the 2020 presidential election was briefly lost during the early morning hours of Wednesday Nov. 4 as the world waited for Milwaukee to reveal its ballot counts.

Sources within Milwaukee County law enforcement told Wisconsin Right Now exclusively that the executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, Claire Woodall-Vogg, realized she had lost the flash drive when she left, with police escort, the Central Count building where ballots were tallied. She was en route to the county courthouse to report "the results of more than 169,000 absentee ballots collected in the City of Milwaukee," the Hill previously reported.

Those results would prove to heavily weight toward Vice President Joe Biden in the critical battleground state. Biden would go on to win the state with the slimmest of margins (20,540 votes), although President Donald Trump's campaign says he will request a recount.

We need an election redo, not a recount

poll opinion voter crowd
The furthest-left urban enclaves in America's key swing states are clearly engaged in mass voter fraud, which is why many are now demanding an official recount. A much better option, though, is to simply hold a whole new election.

There comes a point when trying to accurately recount ballots, especially those that arrived in sealed envelopes from the mail, becomes improbable, if not impossible - and truth be told, we are already long past that point.

Keep in mind that hundreds of thousands of mystery ballots appeared in the middle of the night after the polls closed. A recount would capture these fraudulent votes alongside legitimate ones, producing the same questionable outcomes we are already witnessing.

Philadelphia City Commissioners chairwoman Lisa Deeley, who oversaw 2020 election, lost her PA notary license in 2018 for failing to verify signatures
Lisa Deeley, the Chairwoman of the Philadelphia City Commissioners who during a press conference today with Mayor Jim Kenney updated the nation about Philadelphia's ongoing ballot count for the 2020 presidential election, "permanently surrendered her notary license" in 2018 for approving signatures on legal documents without asking for identification, a violation of Pennsylvania law.

Deeley's notary license was "revoked," according to Pennsylvania state records. Deeley is a member of the Democratic Party.

Deeley serves on a "Three member bipartisan board of elected officials in charge of elections and voter registration for @PhiladelphiaGov," according to the Philadelphia City Commissioners' Twitter account.

Crowds get to celebrate Joe Biden's victory — but no one else can gather in public?

Hordes of people swarmed into Times Square in celebration of Biden-Harris winning the presidential election.
Did you have a nice weekend, my lefty friends? Yes, I know you did. I saw you dancing in Washington Square Park, cheering in Grand Army Plaza, screaming in the streets of Brooklyn, huddled up in Times Square like it was New Year's Eve.

I don't begrudge anyone a good time, but I thought this might be an apt moment to ask: We're done with this pandemic thing, right? We must be, because the crowds didn't elicit a single stern wag of the finger from either Mayor Bill de Blasio or Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The crowds' defenders say, "They're outside, what's the big deal?" Or: "They're mostly wearing masks, so no problem."

Comment: Well said!

Embarrassing journalism fail: ABC deletes 'fake news' tweet attributing traditional UK bonfire night fireworks to Biden win

ABC is being roundly ridiculed for claiming that Bonfire Night fireworks were celebrating the US election result.
Mainstream American media is so excited about Joe Biden being declared the winner of the US presidential election it even thinks that traditional bonfire night fireworks in the UK are a tribute to the Democrat.

"Fireworks lit up the night sky over London, England, after Joe Biden was characterized to be the apparent winner of the presidential election," ABC excitedly tweeted on Sunday, as US news outlets basked in the aftermath of Donald Trump's apparent election defeat.

There's just one problem with that narrative: it's complete nonsense. The revellers weren't toasting Biden's win, they were celebrating Guy Fawkes night, AKA Bonfire Night. The event marks the anniversary of a failed plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament. It dates all the way back to 1605, long before the USA even existed.

Comment: Leave it to American "journalists" to think the rest of the world actually cares about their politics (let alone care enough to light off fireworks!).

Amid the most disputed election results in recent history, Twitter continues to censor the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

Of the 19 tweets posted by the President in the last 24 hours, 30 percent have been tagged with a warning from Twitter calling them "disputed," and linking to a Twitter "fact check" — which usually consists of claims from the Democrat-aligned mainstream media.

Jack Dorsey's far-left social network has been leading the campaign to prevent the President's messages from reaching American voters online. As of November 5, Twitter had censored half of President Trump's tweets since election day.
