[It pays to contemplate more often than not of how absolutely ignorant cum stupid the majority of the American electorate has become in not understanding one whit about the objectives of collectivist politicians for whom they religiously vote. They are totally and consummately convinced by the lamestream media of a world that does not exist and of causes that have effects opposite from those reported. As our Founders predicted, the republic is doomed. gjr]

Lonely Juanita 6:14 – Really dude? You really can’t figure it out? You really want us to see you as a complete idiot?
I’ll ‘splain it to you by typing real slow so maybe you can understand:
In Florida, the voters were allowed to cast votes for their preferred candidates. The judges had to act because the Dems wanted rule changes after the voting was over. So the judges said “sorry, no rule changes after the game is over”.
In the case with Colorado, the judges are saying “we don’t like Trump, so you aren’t allowed to vote for him”.
It is abundantly clear that if Juanita’s fav pol was ordered off the ballot for the same reasons, he’d be hopping mad.
I’m always amused at the evidence piling up that the left have absolutely no values whatever beyond hypocrisy.

Scotto, there were two sets of justices mucking with bush v. gore… scotus and scofl. Florida was trending R with the executive branch and legislators being dominated by the GOP, but ALL 7 of their justices were dem with a majority (4) feeling their oats and willing to muck with the election.
I recall the final round being kicked off with a florida court decision ignoring a scotus direction not to do what they were about to do.
The Florida recount was inventing votes for Gore. A flawed technology for voting but California avoided a Floridian meltdown by defining a vote as a fully detached chad.
LikeLike
Gregory – Yeah, the “hanging chads”. Funny how it was only an issue for the Dem voters. There were instructions for the voters to make sure their ballots were free of the dangling chads before handing them in, but the highly intelligent Dems were unable to solve that puzzle. I’ve used those type of ballots in the past in CA.
There was also the “confusing” butterfly ballot design that only seemed to confuse the Dems.
And of course there’s the issue of showing an ID in order to vote. Totally stumps the Dems. The same ID they manage to have available to get on a plane, pick up a prescription, buy booze and firearms. When it comes to voting, they have apparently used up all their brain cells just to find their voting place.

Besides Well-Hung Chad hanging around, Florida had a problem with their GOP dominant panhandle, an hour behind the rest of the state, finding turnout dropping off a cliff when national news called the state based on their election day polls of voters after voting but the polls in the western part of the state were still open. Oooops.
Recounters were arguing over whether an intact Chad had any indication of the punch tool being put to it, showing an intent to punch it out. Two Dems voting against one R, much as two lions voting against one sheep over the dinner menu.

Actually Gregory you can thank Ralph Nader, who ran as an independent in the Florida election, for Bush’s win. In the 2000 presidential election in Florida, Bush defeated Al Gore by 537 votes. Nader received 97,421 votes. There is no doubt Gore would have recieved the majority of those votes han he not run.

“It’s come to our attention that Anti police king of the defund movement in Austin @GregCasar who only last week called APD an agency with racist practices has requested enhanced patrols around his house for the next week,” the Austin Police Retired Officers Association posted on X Tuesday.
