LOL, cmon man you're smarter than this to fall for Tucker's BS.  The Republican Secretary of State has certified the results multiple times and they have people on the ground to count, etc.  And  they are whole lot more reliable than Tucker Carlson.

For those who don't know, Carlson got sued (technically FNC) and their defense was he more or less makes up shit.

Looks like AJC is backing up this story of Fraud in Fulton County.

Top tip if you see a Tucker piece. Google it separately. That is not "hard evidence".

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news … ton-county

"As reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, there is no indication the double-counted ballots influenced the final total votes for either former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden, though the duplicates would have given Biden 27 more votes if they were tabulated."

"Carter Jones, an independent monitor of Fulton's elections, posited an election worker may have lost track of which ballots were scanned. He said the chances of organized fraud were small.

“It’s Fulton failing to follow proper election protocols again,” he said. “Fulton is so poor at managing the actual process that if they had actually tried to rig the election, they would have bungled it, and we would have found out.”

"A report written by an independent election observer monitoring the November election in Fulton, which includes much of Atlanta, found the county's election was sloppily handled but did not uncover any fraud. Raffensperger opened an investigation last month into the handling of paperwork in Fulton County related to the use of drop boxes for the 2020 election."

Occams Razor, simplest explanation is probably correct. Incompetence is much easier and likelier than a conspiracy.

That said, incompetence leaves exploitable gaps for bad actors. Tighten up the running of elections in the US, make them easier and more accessible (more polling stations, none of these multi hour lines to vote) and establish an independent elections commission to oversee them.

What is going on with the IRS? It started last year. Everything was taking longer and longer. This year...I can't even get anyone to answer the phone. I've sent out 2 4506T forms to the IRS in May in June. Two years ago you'd get a response within 10 business days. I've been waiting 4 months for a response to even the most basic questions.

IRS doesn’t have enough people. My step dad has clients still waiting on their 2019 tax refund.

I want DeSantis. He would be unbeatable.

I don't know why you'd think he'd be unbeatable. It's still very early to tell but he's relatively unknown at this point. Also, we've never had a president from Florida before. My guess is that Trump will eat him alive if DeSantis dares go against him.

I can tell you this...no one here in the upper midwest is talking about DeSantis.
