I care, especially with the mid-terms coming up and the only viable thing the Demonicrats have to run on is their economy. BTW: How dem der polls looking for the Demonicrats ATM?Stacy Abrams was not the POTUS, the most powerful person in the world and her refusal to concede did not lead to the worst insurrection in this country in my lifetime.
Aside from that; by your logic here, that would mean the hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation - just as they stated publicly. Oh, wait! Turns out the laptop is actually real and Hunter and Dad, aka The Big Guy, are corrupt AF.
I'm guessing now would not be the time to ask if you happen to have a link to Stacy Abrams' concession speech, 'cause I ain't finding it. Originally Posted by Why_Yes_I_Do
Yes the midterms are coming up and there will be no significant number of fraudulent votes cast, just as in 2020.
There is no proof that Hunter Biden's laptop contains anything incriminating to either him or his father at this point in time. You've got nothing.
Yes, elections are only 16 months away. Republicans will take control of the House. Democrats will keep control of the Senate, possibly picking up one seat.

Langlade County GOP Declares Biden as ‘Not Legitimately Elected’ in 2022 Resolution
By Gary Bai | July 6, 2022 Updated: July 10, 2022
Republicans in Langlade County, Wisconsin, have passed a resolution stating that President Joe Biden was “not legitimately elected” and that “substantial” election fraud influenced the results of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Biden.
“The Republican Party of Langlade County Wisconsin formally rejects the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,” reads the Langlade County GOP’s 2022 resolution obtained by The Epoch Times.
“We believe that substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key States in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.”
The executive committee of the Langlade GOP Party, which describes itself as the “Party of Lincoln, Reagan, and Trump,” unanimously approved the resolution on June 30 and made it public on July 1 on a local radio show.
“I hope to indirectly and directly contact every Republican County party in the nation and encourage them to write a similar resolution with the specifics to their state and their county, and just keep building momentum on this for months to come,” Terry Brand, chairman of the Republican Party of Langlade County, told The Epoch Times on July 6.
“I would like to have one county drop a resolution every day, from now until Nov. 8, to continue to develop that momentum and put pressure on our elected people to do the right thing and make sure that we have election integrity down to the point where there is zero possibility of cheating—that should be our goal,” Brand said.
In passing the resolution, the county party said it stands “in solidarity” with the Maricopa County GOP of Arizona and the Texas GOP, both of which recently passed resolutions to reject the legitimacy of the 2020 election due to widespread election fraud.
‘2000 Mules’
Similar to its counterparts in Texas state and Maricopa County of Arizona, the Langlade County GOP cited evidence presented by “2000 Mules,” a documentary directed by conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.
“The 2000 Mules Documentary, using publicly collected evidence of geo tracking and municipal video surveillance, irrefutably proves election fraud occurred in Milwaukee County during the 2020 Election in the form of ballot trafficking through drop boxes,” the resolution stated.
The movie features the undercover investigative work of David Lara, a citizen investigator, and Arizona state Senate candidate Gary Snyder, as well as investigations conducted by election integrity organization True the Vote on an alleged coordinated ballot trafficking operation during the 2020 election.
Described as an exposé of “widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election,” the movie draws on cellphone location data paired with video surveillance footage that allegedly shows a cohort of people dropping ballots off at drop boxes situated outdoors, on average, more than 20 times each. Those people were dubbed by the investigators as “mules.”
While some states allow people to gather ballots from certain people and drop them off, the volume of ballots inserted into the boxes and the fact that the people went to multiple boxes to drop ballots off shows that what happened was illegal, filmmakers say.
“The mules are instructed to do three votes over here or five votes over there, 10 votes over here; they spread it around so as not to raise eyebrows and not to raise suspicion,” D’Souza previously told EpochTV’s “Crossroads.” The scale of the operation was enough to tip the 2020 election, he said.
Wisconsin Investigations
In its resolution, the Langlade County Republican Party cited numerous investigations conducted by Wisconsin authorities and investigators, which the party said showed “significant inconsistencies” in the 2020 election results.
“The Legislative Audit Bureau report, The Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections investigation and hearings, The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) investigation and report, and Michael Gableman’s investigation and Second Interim Investigative Report, which was presented to the Assembly Committee on March 1, 2022, all found significant inconsistencies and discrepancies in the 2020 election,” the resolution reads.
According to special counsel Gableman’s report, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) violated numerous laws during the 2020 election, including by issuing directives that allegedly ordered local election officials to disregard state statutes that regulate absentee voting.
The report also alleges that the WEC violated the law by facilitating mentally incompetent nursing home residents, noncitizens, and ineligible felons to vote.
WEC administrator Meagan Wolfe said in a statement, “The integrity of the November 2020 election, and of the WEC, has been shown time, and time again, through court cases and previous investigations.”
The Langlade County Republican Party called for the dissolution of the WEC and urged the Republican-dominated Wisconsin state legislature to complete investigations of the 2020 election.
“We ask and encourage the Wisconsin State Legislature to do everything in their power to dissolve and de-fund The WEC and put the responsibility of election integrity in the hands of the elected position of Secretary of State, and that the Wisconsin Legislature also do everything in their power to complete all ongoing investigations of the 2020 election, including Michael Gableman’s investigation, to ensure no cheating happens in future elections.
“We encourage every other Republican County Party in both the State of Wisconsin and all other States that experienced voter fraud and cheating to issue a similar resolution to reject the 2020 election results,” the resolution stated.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the White House and the Wisconsin Elections Commission for comment.

Court Holds Illegal Ballot Drop Boxes Tainted 2020 Election
Moving on does not mean Americans should forget the lessons of the 2020 election.
By Adam Mill
July 18, 2022
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on July 8 that the ballot drop boxes used in the 2020 election were illegal and harmed Wisconsin voters. Not surprisingly, the media has spun the opinion as a mere change of rules concerning future elections, ignoring the rebuke to the practice in prior elections. The New York Times wrote, “The 4-to-3 ruling by the court’s conservative majority will take effect in time for Wisconsin’s primary elections next month.”
The case involved two memos authored by the Wisconsin Elections Commission which attempted to supplant Wisconsin law with rules allowing drop boxes and delivery of ballots by people other than voters. The court held that the memos “are invalid because ballot drop boxes are illegal under Wisconsin statutes. An absentee ballot must be returned by mail or the voter must personally deliver it to the municipal clerk . . .” The memos encouraged “creative solutions” to facilitate the use of ballot drop boxes and permitted the boxes to be “unstaffed.”
Over the objection of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which fought to preserve ballot drop boxes, the court found Wisconsin voters had suffered real material injury that gave them standing to challenge the illegal ballot boxes.
The erosion of the system itself causes injury to all voters, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled, adding:
The court further opined, “purity and integrity of elections is a matter of such prime importance, and affects so many important interests, that the courts ought never to hesitate, when the opportunity is offered, to test them by the strictest legal standards.”
The court cautioned that the road to tyranny begins with the manipulation of election rules.
One is reminded of the ballot harvesting scandal unearthed by Project Veritas in neighboring Minnesota. A Project Veritas video shows an alleged harvester, Liban Mohamed, in possession of multiple ballots (he claimed 300 in the video) all for a candidate he supported. As the New York Post reported, Minnesota, like Wisconsin, prohibits individuals from handling more than three individual ballots.
It should be noted that the irregularities described in the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision do not contain a finding of voter fraud. But the failure to follow anti-fraud rules predictably causes disappointed voters to wonder whether the final outcome might have been more reliable had those rules been followed.
It’s too late to fix what happened in 2020. But moving on does not mean Americans should forget the lessons of the 2020 election.

The erosion of the system itself causes injury to all voters, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled, adding:
In contrast, the failure to follow election laws is a fact which forces everyone—even DSCC—to question the legitimacy of election results. Electoral outcomes obtained by unlawful procedures corrupt the institution of voting, degrading the very foundation of free government. Unlawful votes do not dilute lawful votes so much as they pollute them, which in turn pollutes the integrity of the results.Worse yet, the use of the ballot drop boxes makes fraud harder to detect. “There is nothing in the record before us to indicate that any of [the absentee ballots] were actually tampered with by any unauthorized person,” the court noted, “but it is entirely obvious that the opportunity to do so was present.” Further: “When the level of pollution is high enough, the fog creates obscurity, and the institution of voting loses its credibility as a method of ensuring the people’s continued consent to be governed.”
The court further opined, “purity and integrity of elections is a matter of such prime importance, and affects so many important interests, that the courts ought never to hesitate, when the opportunity is offered, to test them by the strictest legal standards.”
The court cautioned that the road to tyranny begins with the manipulation of election rules.
If the right to vote is to have any meaning at all, elections must be conducted according to law. Throughout history, tyrants have claimed electoral victory via elections conducted in violation of governing law. For example, Saddam Hussein was reportedly elected in 2002 by a unanimous vote of all eligible voters in Iraq (11,445,638 people) . . . The right to vote presupposes the rule of law governs elections. If elections are conducted outside of the law, the people have not conferred their consent on the government. Such elections are unlawful and their results are illegitimate.Unfortunately, once an election victory has transpired with the assistance of illegal ballot-gathering techniques, it’s nearly impossible to correct the contamination. The court noted, “The illegality of these drop boxes weakens the people’s faith that the election produced an outcome reflective of their will.” According to the New York Times, “It is not possible to determine precisely how many Wisconsin votes were cast through drop boxes in 2020. About 40 percent of votes cast were absentee, though that figure includes ballots returned in the mail and during in-person early voting.”
