ABC News Says “Red Mirage” Will Look Like Big Republican Win, But Vote Count Could Take “Weeks”

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

In a throwback to 2020, ABC News reports that a “red mirage” could make it look like Republicans are winning big on the night, but that a full vote count could take “weeks.”

The legacy news outlet has published an article titled ‘Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that’s OK)’.

The piece explains how Republicans may “appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins” in federal and statewide races, but that their leads “will dwindle, or crumble completely” after “dumps” of mail-in and absentee ballots are counted after election day, which could take “weeks”.

Why America can’t count all the votes on the night, as is done in countless other developed countries, isn’t explained.

“This phenomenon was popularized as the “red mirage” or the “blue shift” after the 2020 presidential election, when former President Donald Trump took a deceptive lead in several competitive states on Election Day due to delays in counting of Democrats’ mail-in ballots — their preferred method of voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic — only to eventually dissipate when the entire reserve of votes was totaled,” states the report.

However, the explanation that COVID-19 caused so many Democrats to use mail-in ballots on 2020 is also not a factor now given that all restrictions have been lifted and COVID is barely even a news story at this point.

“The red wave nearly every pollster is predicting is actually just a “mirage” ready to be corrected through “election fortification” and “perceived” late night ballot dumps,” commented Chris Menahan.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also said yesterday that the vote count may take “days” to be sorted out, asserting, “That’s how this is supposed to work,” despite no such narrative being in place when Democrats performed well in the 2018 mid-terms.

Delaying the election result will almost certainly lead to a repeat of the chaos of 2020, and prompt more claims by Republicans of vote fraud and stolen elections.

Polls show that around 61 per cent of Republicans think Biden didn’t win legitimately in 2020, while nearly a third of Americans in total think Biden won thanks to voter fraud.

A recent Pew survey also found that a fairly slim majority of 56 per cent of Republicans think “the midterm elections in the U.S. will be administered very or somewhat well, with just 11% saying they will be run very well.”

According to the latest Washington Post forecast, Republicans are set to easily regain control of the House and will also flip the Senate, where they only need to gain one seat to claim victory.

Maybe we should just count the votes until our side wins. Isn’t that what they are saying. What’s the point of an election day. Lets just give them a month or start stacking the ballots as soon as they get the result they are looking for from the previous not election day. The Demsheviks will never stop until we make them.

How does one repair a broken system from within that same broken system? I’ve tried it on a micro scale… not easy, but doable. On the larger scale, I’m not so optimistic. When anything gets too big, it becomes unmanageable.

I’m all for a united (lowercase “u”) states, but what we have isn’t that.

S-H-A-K-I-N-G in M-Y B-O-O-T-S, FDT has “warned” others running on the GOPher ticket NOT to throw their hat in the 2024 POTUS fiasco. SHAKING….

This Trump clown never shuts up. From FAUX News no less:

Trump said both of his attorney generals — Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr — were his “two worst” picks, saying they both were “really bad.”

“I know everybody now,” Trump said. “See, I didn’t know anybody. I just got to Washington.”

^ He knows everybody now? lol

-Trump touted his administration’s record, including securing the southern border, lowering taxes, re-building the U.S. military, the COVID response, the creation of vaccines under Operation Warp Speed and having “defeated 100% of ISIS.”-

^ Whatever you say. Your “base” will yell, YEA!

“I was disappointed with Bibi because no one did more for Israel than me, and he was the first to call Joe Biden and congratulate him,” Trump said. “No president has done more for Israel — Golan Heights, the embassy for Jerusalem, and bigger than both is ending the Iran nuclear disaster — that’s bigger than both — and I did other things too.”

“But I like Bibi,” he added.

^ You are another King Cyrus sir.

You can’t get evil., corrupt satanists to reform themselves.
I have been hated big time on this site for being right.
I warned repeatedly for years how rigged for Nazi monopoies and fed whores (in both ‘parties’) this fascist system is.
The 4th Reich Uni-party rules.
Satanists McConnell and McCarthy are just as evil as Clinton and Schumer.
And the globalist monopolies and cartels like Pfizer own them ALL.

A brain dead satanist in PA winning a Senate seat with 95 pct ‘votes’ in Philly CO. and Kari Lake rigged to death in AZ and you still dont get it?

Fuck you Kuntsler groupies – you are sucking Satan’s dick.

Hating on me will not change that.

The fascist Uni-Party will not reform itself.
The Orange Hair dictator who made Fauci and Pfizer satanic kings of the world and made Bill Barr (whose law firm ran the defense AND prosecution of CIA asset Epstein when he skated on hundreds of pedo crimes) will not ‘save’ you.
Orange Hair suck-ups like NewsMax and Bannon will not ‘save’ you.

America will be like the worst of Mexico in 4-5 years. and fake elections will not change that
And no down votes vs. me will change that.
Are you down voters too stupid to understand that?
No amount of down votes will change the truth.
The more down votes I get the more I know I am over the right target.

Evidently he will “officially” announce his intention for 2024 on Nov. 15 from Mar-a-Logo in typical dramatic form. What’s weird is a herd of Log Cabin Republicans will be on hand to cheer their newest boss on. Speculation is planning for another LGBT Gala after the announcement.

There will be fireworks that evening and all through the day the “base” can donate some $$ for a life size blow up Donnie doll. Actually, the doll could come in handy if wanting to cheat during bumper to bumper traffic on I-30 in Dallas. Depending if one is trying to get in to Dallas morning or trying to get out of Dallas afternoon, just air up Donnie and place him on the passenger side of your vehicle. You can sneak right on through the HOV lane.

I have no doubt that democrats cheat in elections. Let’s say for argument’s sake they can fudge about 5-7% of any election with dead voters, mail-in ballots and dubious voter rolls. Why are some races even remotely close?

Look st the PA senate race. Fetterman literally cannot form a coherent thought. The vote total should be 70-30 in favor of Dr. Oz alone on the fact that Fetterman is a mental patient. (Not that Oz is that great of a candidate). But still, brain dead welfare queens and low IQ, non-tax-paying-no-property-owning-shitbirds get to vote for “more government.”

He backed the weakest shmucks in AZ and PA that he could find and all of his Cabinet picks were the worst swamp creatures in the history of corrupt politics (have you LOOKED AT THE RECORD OF f*cking ‘catch-and-release’ Nielsen and ‘suck-Epstein’s d*ck’ Bill Barr?

Here’s my comment from November 6

“From the east to the west, north and south, the country is suffering under Democrat rule and yet the so called polls are showing a tight race. They do this to make you think you have a choice and prepare you for what your lying eyes are witnessing. I predict a lot of very pissed off people post election night.

On the other hand, If the republican’s win, it will be by design. The Dems have so fucked things up that it could be in they’re interest to lose this cycle. It give’s them two years to blame this entire mess on the spineless repubs. The repubs will fall for it as they always do and in two years the people will have forgotten all about who was actually to blame.
If the dems lose, it won’t be by much, guaranteed.”
