In all, Yost successfully brought six charges against lawful permanent residents.
  • Ramesh Patel faces one count of illegal voting in Cuyahoga County
  • Lorinda Miller faces two counts of illegal voting in Summit County
  • Nicholas Fontaine faces one count of illegal voting in Portage County
  • Ahmed Aden, Van Thuy Cooper and Maria Dearaujo all face one count of illegal voting in Franklin County.
Each one of the defendants allegedly voted in two or more elections between 2008 and 2020. They face fourth degree felonies which carry a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and five years’ probation post-release. But given the facts of the cases Yost said its unlikely any of them would face time behind bars.

Cargo cult impersonation of T-bone is my guess. “Trump is destroying us and he’s been rallying in CA and NY, if we rally in red states that will surely turn things around!”

Basically just completely forgetting basic cause and effect, Trump is able to do these “vanity” rallies in enemy territory BECAUSE he’s doing well with his core voter base.

TEXAS EARLIES

Note: There is no way to know the fate of Colin Allred (Democrat running against Ted Cruz). The reason is because some regions of Texas, especially south of Houston and San Antonio are notorious for ticket-splitting. The more heavily-Hispanic a county is, the more ticket-splitting goes on. So there is no way to know how many anti-Cruz-pro-Trump voters there are.

ANECDOTAL: I'm hearing through friends that voting around Tarrant County (city of Ft. Worth, which is a black city that is extremely conservative) is heavy.

Shavano Park, TX which is a jewish town inside San Antonio is seeing record turnout. It is mostly center-left Orthodox but there is a small haredi population there, and it looks like every single one has run to the polls. The in-person early return is at an all-time record. There is no Ivy League school anywhere near them, but there have been propal demonstrations across the state especially in Austin and Dallas, on the UT campuses. Looks like the jews of Texas are pissed off.

The Democrat slide in the Rio Grande Valley is continuing. Looks like another bloodbath for the party in holding the only rural region they have left in the country. Turnout in McAllen, TX is very heavy and that town has essentially turned into Spanish-Speaking Trump USA. The city of Brownsville, TX has voted Democrat since the Mexican-American War, and it's where SpaceX's launchpad is located. It will be very interesting to see the returns from Cameron County if they will also see Democrat losses like the rest of the RGV is experiencing.

Sleepy areas of central Texas are also seeing record volume:

CENTRAL TEXAS (FOX 44) – The large early voting numbers in parts of Central Texas are worth mentioning.

In the City of Belton, early voting lines had a significant wait time of about 90 minutes. Around 4:15 p.m. on Monday they had 8,191 check-ins. This is more than any single day of early voting in the county’s history.

Anyone who was in line at closing time was allowed to vote. For this reason, a total number of early voters will not be given for some time.

Early voting in Bell County will continue through this Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Saturday, the hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

During the final week of early voting, from October 28 through November 1, vote centers will return to the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. schedule.

In McLennan County, the number of participants totaled 8,120 early voters!

Early voting in Texas runs through November 1.

Controversial Ohio AG announces six voter fraud indictments two weeks from Election Day​

By Nick Evans, Ohio Capital Journal
October 23, 2024 6:54AM ET

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced six indictments for voter fraud Tuesday stemming from referrals made by Secretary of State Frank LaRose earlier this year. Even as Yost insisted on the importance of the investigations and prosecutions he sought to calibrate the scope of the issue.

Voting is a “sacred right” Yost insisted, and the six charges represent less than 1% of the referrals made by LaRose’s office. The AG added he doesn’t expect jail time in any of the cases and expressed minor frustrations with the quality of referrals.

Still, after a months-long drumbeat about alleged voter fraud, Yost’s announcement coming just two weeks before Election Day could fuel claims of a stolen election.

Yost’s role and authority​

Yost’s office received more than 600 referrals of alleged voter fraud from the Secretary of State, which the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigated. Of those referrals only 138 included allegations of illegal voting — the remainder had to with issues like improper registrations.

The Attorney General stressed that illegal voting is a “strict liability” offense.

“Think about a speeding ticket,” Yost said. “You are stopped for going 52 miles an hour. You thought it was a 50 mile an hour zone. Cop tells you it’s 35. Doesn’t make
any difference that you didn’t intend to speed, that you didn’t know that you were speeding, or even that you were reckless or negligent about it — you’re just liable, and ignorance of the law is no excuse.”

But his office can only pursue charges after the local county prosecutor is given “adequate time” to take them up on its own. In all, Yost successfully brought six charges against lawful permanent residents.

Ramesh Patel faces one count of illegal voting in Cuyahoga County
Lorinda Miller faces two counts of illegal voting in Summit County
Nicholas Fontaine faces one count of illegal voting in Portage County

Ahmed Aden, Van Thuy Cooper and Maria Dearaujo all face one count of illegal voting in Franklin County.

Each one of the defendants allegedly voted in two or more elections between 2008 and 2020. They face fourth degree felonies which carry a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and five years’ probation post-release. But given the facts of the cases Yost said its unlikely any of them would face time behind bars.

“Absent criminal history or being part of a criminal enterprise, I don’t see these as being good use of expensive state prison beds,” Yost explained. “That being said, this is important. The right to vote is sacred. It is part of our exercise of sovereignty as a self-governing people.”

“If you’re not a citizen, you don’t get a say, period, and there ought to be consequences if you act differently,” he added.

The charges in context​

Zeroing in on the 138 referrals of alleged illegal voting his office received, Yost argued, “There are not enough of these cases, even if every single one is justified, (…) that’s simply not enough that it would have changed any of those elections.”

The AG also voiced some frustration with the Secretary for referring so many cases in which the only offense had to do with registration.
“I need to have sit down with the Secretary of State about the value of those cases where there was no voting — I think that we ought to be focusing on the voting,” Yost said.

“I’m thinking that I don’t really want to pull people off of officer-involved critical incident investigations, child rapists, murderers to be chasing voter registration cases for past elections,” he added.

And while Yost explained his office is still working through cases and waiting to see whether county prosecutors plan to take up charges, he repeatedly stressed that the number of actual charges is extremely low.

“I think this should enable everybody to take a deep breath and be more confident that our elections are, in fact, safe and secure, and the noncitizens are not going to vote,” Yost insisted. “And if they are — if that would happen — the few that slip through the cracks will be held accountable.”

Why now?​

On the other hand, with an election just two weeks away in which one presidential campaign regularly amplifies baseless claims of voter fraud, Yost’s timing is complicated. Will his charges reassure skeptics or encourage further conspiracy theories? For his part, Yost argued his office is just pursuing an investigation as obligated.

“I got these referrals in August, and here we are in mid-October, and we have indictments,” Yost said. “I will refer you to the Secretary of State on his choice of timing, but we acted with all appropriate speed.”

David Becker with the Center for Election Innovation and Research was quick to insist anyone who violated the law should be held fully accountable — up to and including deportation. “That is why we see this so rarely,” he said, “The penalties far exceed the reward.”

But while he argued the prosecutors should pursue charges “diligently” they should also do so “in close proximity to the crime.” Becker previously served as a senior trial attorney in the voting section at U.S. Department of Justice, and he explained the agency had strict rules against bringing cases close to an election because of potential interference in the voting process.

“Why wouldn’t they wait until after the election to hold a press conference to announce an indictment?” he wondered aloud.

“The Federal Department of Justice would never do this,” he said, “and I can’t imagine a good reason for a state law enforcement agency to announce indictments for illegal voting that may have occurred as much as 10 years ago, two weeks before a major presidential election.”

Trump is going for the popular vote at this point. It makes sense for him to hit states he won't win. He still picks up votes and adds to his total. Harris is barely holding on. It's stupid for her to go to anything but swing states rn.

Fucking ouch, that has to sting for the MSDNC viewers when you have a bunch of black women shitting all over Harris, can't even say it's sexism and they even agree with Trump's point about her wearing her black face to try to appeal more to black Americans.

It's like other said when she was first announced to replace Joe, she's Jamaican/Indian. She is not part of the club, as far as blacks here are already concerned.

I thought Goldberg's name sounded familiar, I checked out his older articles, he's the same faggot journo that cooked up the "suckers and losers" lie about Trump from his visit to Normandy. He knows a total of fuck all.

Kentucky??? Do they think because the state has a Dem governor it's in play? The state went twice for Trump, it went even harder for him in 2020 than 2016. Thankfully Louisville and Lexington aren't big enough cities to hijack it.

Harris is likely going to Texas to try to peddle the bullshit story that Goldberg guy put out yesterday to try to sway more spics to go Dem.

Turns out purging the codebase of late 80's NT code improves stability.
Shame that, in classical Microsoft fashion, they had to stumble out of the gate and learn some lessons with Vista first.

Vista instability was the result of shoddy drivers and Microsoft for some reason allowing OEMs to allow it to be installed on terrible machines with less than 1GB of RAM. By the time 7 came out more RAM was common and drivers had improved and Microsoft had refined it a bit more. I still miss some of the Aero effects they toned down in 7.
