My take on last night's election results from Kentucky

59. I don' think the Dems were REALLY crushed.

The Dems lost probably (there's no way to know since the vote is never VERIFIED), but the voting machines created the "crush." It's the close races where the polls were at variance with the so-called results. This is where the voting machine riggers primarily work. If more people voted, this would help a lot and if enough people vote, the Dems will do better but the close races, the marginal races, will always end up almost 100% for the Repubs. Take here in KS. Kris Kobach was in a close race with his Dem rival. The polls all showed the race very close right up to the election. Turns out he wins by 17%???? Where did the 17% come from? He may have won. KS is an overwhelmingly red state without a doubt, but 17% in this particular election at this time didn't happen. It's reminiscent of the 2002 GA Diebold election when the machines counted all the votes in total secrecy w/o even the chance of a recount since there was no paper. Barnes had an 11% pt lead in polls going into the election and lost by 5%, a 16% point flip. Max Cleland had about a 5% point lead as I remember in the polls and lost by 4 or 5%. Or take the Alvin Greene fiasco in SC in the Dem primary where a candidate who spent not one dollar on campaigning, nobody knew him from Adam, the establishment Dem candidate was well-liked as far as I know. Certainly there was no groundswell to get him out or off the ballot, but Greene won with about 60% of the vote. Of course where paper was used, i.e., where the actual paper vote was counted(early voting, mail-ins or whatnot) the real Dem won by about 65%. This kind of thing only happens in countries where the insane run the asylum because the sane lack the courage to insist that elections be VERIFIED by counting THE PAPER.
