Alex, this is exactly why I wish you would stop claiming that republicans concerns about secure elections are not warranted. Last year we saw an unprecedented change in the way our democracy holds elections and there was far too many of these types of instances across the country happening.
Uh-oh Alex, weren't you just telling all of us Trumpers that complaining about stolen elections was a loser move?? Sounds like someone just opened one eye.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I agree with comments on the election shenanigans last year. There was no reason to stop counting and then start counting again at 3am in key Dem areas. That alone is suspicious and so is transporting ballots across state lines. With that said, if we do NOT have election integrity then all is lost. We are no different then Venezuela or Cuba. The Democrats have a documented history of cheating and unfortunately many centrists just play nice guy. That has to stop. Nothing has ever been accomplished by sitting on one's hands so as citizens let's all get involved in our local elections and this will stop.
We need governors like Youngkin, Ciatarelli, Desantis, and West Virginia’s Jim Justice. Reasonable candidates with achievable goals can win if they stand up for our kids and their education.
Lifelong Resident of once great commonwealth of Pa (we did get the constitution done). Another silver lining of the covid crisis, the re-emergence of Federalism. Not so long ago, the race for governor was a real yawner for most. Not anymore. Yes, there is power at the federal level, but all politics are local. Federalism will rule the day. Where will you live when the next covid comes? Suddenly school boards matter, suddenly your local state rep matters. I have much less faith in ANY and I mean ANY politician than I do in my fellow Americans. Federalism is and will continue to alter the course of our United States. And like minded people, given remote work and other flexibilities to come, will trigger massive continued migration to States that welcome YOUR particular beliefs. It will accelerate. It took a few hundred years, but Federalism is back. See you all in Tx, Florida, Va. or NJ sometime soon.
Careful, Alex. Starting to sound a lot like a "Trumpster" by highlighting some obviously fraudulent election practices by people with the blue ties. Your recent post regarding stolen elections and election fraud really did not age well, and it's not even 5 hours old. Lolcatz
From my perspective, I don't mind *any* of Alex's posts, even ones I disagree with, even ones I disagree vehemently with.
I didn't become a paying subscriber to his Substack because I want to remain in my safe-space infobubble. I'm a paying subscriber because I want independent journalists to survive and to thrive. I don't want him to tell me what I want to hear; I want him to tell me what HE thinks. It makes ME a better citizen, because it challenges me to examine my own views and opinions against his (and against Greenwald's and Taibbi's and Bari's and Emerald's, all independent journos for whom I'm a paying subscriber; plus Caroline Glick's and bad cattitude's, neither of whom have paying levels yet).
I'll rebut Alex when I think he's wrong, I'll re-orient my opinion when he makes a better argument than I can. And I'll use his information to beat and flog idiot Leftists and Democrats (but I repeat myself) every chance I get.
This is engaging in the arena of ideas, and I'm damn glad he's out there doing it. Just my two cents' worth.
"Wisconsin’s Racine County’s GOP now is getting in the act. Over 23,000 voters were identified with the same phone number and over 4,000 with the same registration date of 1/1/1918" - - - just sayin', Alex
This race is exactly why the voting process needs to be rock-solid.
Unfortunately many do not trust it…
Supposedly, when JFK ran against Nixon. Mayor Daley in Cook County IL didn’t report ANY results until the results from the rest of Illinois were in. Then, bam, Cook County dropped their vote total and it was enough to make Kennedy president.
Supposedly, Richard J. Daley was Kennedy’s first official visitor to the White House.
Is it really a coincidence that an "early" vote that favored the Democrat by a ratio of nearly 4:1 was double counted? Count my vote as highly skeptical.
the same tricks and gaslighting as usual. Dem candidate down the night of election, and miraculously they find enough votes the next day to compensate. This bullshit has to stop. you need to decide on election night who is the winner - period !
Hard not to see NJ Gov race as at least partly a direct repudiation of the vaccine mandates, lockdowns and otherwise hard line stance by Murphy, that produced only mixed results at best. The people are speaking up and it's a beautiful thing to see as someone who has been completely baffled why so much actual science is being ignored by dems.
I love Alex and all of his Covid work but I have to conclude he may suffer from a mild, and unacknowledged, case of TDS when it comes to election integrity. I even understand that he doesn't have the time to do a deep (or even shallow) dive to review the uncontested evidence in multiple states. My guess is that he fears it will cause him to be thought of as a foil hat wackjob to suggest that those who want to to inject children with the vaccine are too honest to rig an election. I'd rather have him admit his complete lack of knowledge about the subject (or ignore it completely) than lecture those who raise legitimate concerns about election integrity.
Alex, when and if covid is ever relegated back to the dump heap, perhaps you could turn that unflinching gaze of yours to election fraud. We all figure fraud/cheating happens — in both camps. But what extent, really? At this point you know the players uncovering it and what they have found. Yet, it needs a storyteller. Are you up for it? The smears against election integrity peeps are just as bad as the smears against covid-vaccine doubters. Makes ya go “hmmm.”
It is astonishing that in this day and age, the People who put men on the moon and safely home again, the People who built the Hoover Dam and the Empire State Building and the space shuttle and are the Leaders of the Free World without whom all of mankind would be enslaved under totalitarianism...
...it is astonishing that we cannot f*cking count votes better than kindergarteners.
Alex, lifetime Democrat here who used to roll her eyes at people talking about election fraud. After watching how the media handles covid and vaccines, I'm not so sure anymore. At this point I just don't believe anything they print. Period.
I can't stand Trump and even so the media bias against him (and for Biden) seems almost laughable to me. Maybe there was election fraud, maybe not. I'd like to hope not, but until I have information that I actually find credible, I'll reserve judgement on this question and I'll stop mocking the people who bring it up.
ALL anyone has ever wanted is for EVERY LEGAL VOTE to be counted ONCE. That's all. One CITIZEN, ONE vote. A FAIR and HONEST election, whatever the outcome. To be SURE about that is the challenge. Maybe all these people from every party watching over vote-counting will help. Broken trust is hard to get back.
It's not so much whining about stolen elections as realizing that radically different voting systems (thrown together in months by panic stricken bureaucrats on zoom) are bound to have flaws. And whether it's loosening signature verification to the point of irrelevance, or accidentally doubling votes, the flaws just so happen to reward the novel voters, at the expense of in-person voters on election day.
We should consider whether the fragility introduced by these drastic alterations to voting systems is worth the convenience they offer. Was voting in person, on election day, so bad?
You can write as much as you want about this election because New Jersey is "ground zero" for government infringing people's rights over a virus that only affects a small amount of the population.
Who else is sick and tired of Democrat election miracles in earl morning hours after Election Day? It’s always the ‘mail in ballots’ which should have counted FIRST.
All we do is signal to them on Election Day how many miracle mail in ballots they need
Sorry, Alex, but I resent your suggestion that "Trumpsters" are almost paranoid or something about voter fraud. Take Joe Biden for example. Do you REALLY believe he got 81 million votes in 2020 -- more than ANY OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN AMERICAN HISTORY??? THAT demented, incompetent fool who barely knows his own name?? With that, and with Democrats working overtime to eliminate voter I.D. nationally, You KNOW there's fraud going on!
ethical skeptic who has survived, barely, on twitter by being abstruse reminds us that elections must be "above suspicion" as caesars wife.... 2020 did not meet that standard, yet!
If you keep sending emails like this you can send me one every 10 minutes or so:)

We don’t mind the emails, Alex (as long as you stop claiming that the democrats didn’t cheat in 2020).
Double counted...an honest mistake no doubt...
We need governors like Youngkin, Ciatarelli, Desantis, and West Virginia’s Jim Justice. Reasonable candidates with achievable goals can win if they stand up for our kids and their education.
Why are there no knock knock jokes about America?
…because FREEDOM RINGS!
Let’s go BRANDON!

But, but, but if you’re concerned about election accuracy and integrity you’re a conspiracy nut right Alex?
Double counting? Especially a blue county? Nothing to see here. No thumb on the scale at all, folks. It was just an honest mistake…
I'm interested in how and who discovered the double count.
Careful, Alex. Starting to sound a lot like a "Trumpster" by highlighting some obviously fraudulent election practices by people with the blue ties. Your recent post regarding stolen elections and election fraud really did not age well, and it's not even 5 hours old. Lolcatz
Double counted?? Wtf. This is going to require an audit no matter who wins.
We love your informative emails! Thank you! ❤

Alex. Keep them coming.
This seems like whiny loser talk.
Sorry to be a broken record on this, Alex. I was gobsmacked by the level of disrespect, and the irony of your content this morning continues to amaze.
Plz share & keep us updated!!!!!!!!
"Wisconsin’s Racine County’s GOP now is getting in the act. Over 23,000 voters were identified with the same phone number and over 4,000 with the same registration date of 1/1/1918" - - - just sayin', Alex
Double counted! Love ya, Alex, but this certainly flies in the face of the sentiment expressed a couple emails ago.
Amazing how the voter irregularities seemingly always come from a Dim district.
Oh but theres no election problems - certainly not. I'd really like to know how many of these "mistakes" benefit republicans...
This race is exactly why the voting process needs to be rock-solid.
Unfortunately many do not trust it…
Supposedly, when JFK ran against Nixon. Mayor Daley in Cook County IL didn’t report ANY results until the results from the rest of Illinois were in. Then, bam, Cook County dropped their vote total and it was enough to make Kennedy president.
Supposedly, Richard J. Daley was Kennedy’s first official visitor to the White House.
That’s what people worry about…
Is it really a coincidence that an "early" vote that favored the Democrat by a ratio of nearly 4:1 was double counted? Count my vote as highly skeptical.
So far, the news from Virginia has omitted something important:
Virginia’s State House turned Republican.
The democrats lost 7 seats to the GOP giving the majority to the Republicans
CNN now has Murphy up by 15,000 votes.
the same tricks and gaslighting as usual. Dem candidate down the night of election, and miraculously they find enough votes the next day to compensate. This bullshit has to stop. you need to decide on election night who is the winner - period !
Even if the conservatives do not “win,” to have made this kind of impact with a relative unknown …is incredible. Go JACK! Thanks Prince Berenson!
CMON NEW JERSEY!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Flood away!
As a resident of Hudson county, I can tell you that it has to be one the most corrupt in the US (and maybe planet).

Weird how double counting NEVER favors Republicans. But an “honest mistake?” LOL

Send all the emails you want. Your readers are grown ups, they know how to do email management. Right, everyone??

I agree thanks for this email- they need to audit this New Jersey election - NOW

So double counted? Are they stupid or devious, asking for a Trumpser.
You can send them. Not a problem.
Are you kidding? Keep us posted! Email us hourly!!
You can write as much as you want about this election because New Jersey is "ground zero" for government infringing people's rights over a virus that only affects a small amount of the population.
LOL this is actually hilarious - keep emailing! How often can you watch a collective freak out by the left unfold in real time

Even if Murphy wins, Democrats should be more chilled by this than Virginia. New Jersey is deep blue, and the GOP put forth no effort.
