Sticking with our traditional election day discussions, this 4:00pm ET thread is specifically focused on what is happening in/around your neighborhood and precinct this election day 2022.  Keep in mind, the West Coast is in lunchtime voting now.

The practical on-the-ground reports from you are generally an excellent gauge for the ‘sense’ of the state and federal election results.

If you are voting on election day today, what are you seeing in your area?  How is turnout?

What is the general sense about the candidates in the local and state races that are important to you, your friends, your community, your neighborhood?

Are there any voting issues in your immediate area?  If so, what kind?

We will post a few ‘ground report’ threads throughout the day for you to share the latest news and information from your area as well as your state.

Remember a key facet in modern election cycles is to ignore any national MSM coverage of exit polling or trends as national news is generally trying to shape opinion and thereby shape outcome.

Regardless of the narrative being promoted, ignore exit polling which has been shown to be heavily manipulated by media.  Just vote.

So, what are you seeing out there?

The counties with ballot counting issues remain consistent over years until someone steps in and fixes the root cause of the problem, democrat election officials.  Nothing destroys election integrity faster than county election problems that repeat in the exact same precincts year after year.

Unfortunately, Maricopa County, Arizona, is one of those regional areas with major election integrity problems each voting cycle, this midterm 2022 election is no different.

According to multiple reports Maricopa County ballot tabulation machines are not working again.  Approximately 20% of the ballot tabulation machines in Maricopa County are not working which is causing delays, frustration and voter concern over the integrity of the election.  Voters have been told to leave their ballots in a box for tabulation later at a central location.  Many voters are not willing to ‘trust’ the process.

ARIZONA – Vote-counting machines weren’t working in about 20% of polling sites in Maricopa County, Arizona, as Election Day voting in the midterms began, county officials said.

The Maricopa County Recorder’s Officer said technicians were called to fix the tabulator machines that weren’t working, Fox10’s TV station in Phoenix reported. It’s not clear how many of the machines were malfunctioning in the state’s most populous county.

In foreign countries when the ruling government sends federal police or military agents of the regime in power to “monitor elections,” U.S. politicians and media call it intimidation, corruption and election fraud.  When Joe Biden sends federal police to monitor elections, U.S. politicians and media call it “protecting democracy.”  The process is identical.

Comrades, earlier today the political branch of the Dept of Justice announced their dispatch to key Democrat cities and counties in order to support the correct regime voting process.  No, really, they did. [LINK]

(DOJ) – The Justice Department announced today its plans to monitor compliance with federal voting rights laws in 64 jurisdictions in 24 states for the Nov. 8, 2022 general election. Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Division has regularly monitored elections in the field in jurisdictions around the country to protect the rights of voters. The Civil Rights Division will also take complaints from the public nationwide regarding possible violations of the federal voting rights laws through its call center. The Civil Rights Division enforces the federal voting rights laws that protect the rights of all citizens to access the ballot.   

For the general election, the Civil Rights Division will monitor for compliance with the federal voting rights laws on Election Day and/or in early voting in 64 jurisdictions:

Through the years one of the things CTH has always emphasized is the accuracy of your election ‘sense’ ground reports when contrast against the national media narrative.

So, this thread is for you to share what the sense is around your community.  How motivated are the people in your neighborhood? What is the sense of this election cycle? If you have voted already, how was the turnout for early voting in/around your area?

Use this thread to share your own sense of how things look from your perspective.  If comfortable include the general region you are describing so that others can get a feel for your impression of the midterm election this year.

CTH will host several election day update and ground reports tomorrow as election day voting gets underway.  However, in the interim, what do you see and hear in the conversations around your town, hamlet, community or precinct?

Historically the sense of the election you share has been remarkably consistent with the outcome.  Are the people in your circle enthusiastic about removing Democrats from their seats? (more…)

Democrats and left-wing political activist groups are going bananas.

In the past week the mainstream media and U.S. government interests have collectively been in a state of apoplexy as Elon Musk took ownership of Twitter and began announcing changes.

As a result of the management change, there have been some new discoveries about the internal operations of the social media platform that are worth highlighting.  [Background Context Here] Additionally, it seems likely that Musk’s focus on the technology side of the operation might soon lead to [¹]interesting discoveries.  However, let’s start by reviewing information discovered in the management change.

First, it is important to recognize that Twitter is simply a massive global commenting and information sharing system.  Twitter, the platform itself, does not provide any content, all content (comments, pictures, videos, links to articles etc) is provided by the users of the platform.  In essence it is a big chat room or commenting system.  The main point to remember is that Twitter does not provide any content, the platform simply provides the hosting system for the conversation itself.

♦ “Verification” – Individual accounts on Twitter could request to be ‘verified’ by Twitter to validate their identity as a specific user of the platform.  This is the “blue check” process that assigns a blue check badge to the user upon verification.

Apparently, the verification badge morphed into some form of enhanced credibility for the user almost like a tiered social system or class system.  The ‘Blue Checks’ considered themselves more important than the average user and that verification system then became something of a status symbol.

Inside the administration system of Twitter, the assignment of the verification badge became a tool for the Twitter admins to elevate some user accounts as more important than others.

However, apparently with the new management in place, it has been discovered that verification badge status was also for sale.  For a secret fee, if you knew the right people, you could purchase a verified status.  Of course, no one ever knew this before, and it seems very sketchy. [See comment above left]

Knowing that some users purchased their verification status, the apoplexy over Elon Musk deciding to allow any user to verify their status for an $8/month fee, now takes on a new perspective.
