Things Worth Considering 2

 And the Democrats continue to claim they do not engage in voter fraud. What hutzpah. In addition to the ongoing mess in Arizona, consider the contents of this item. 

Quote: "Machines Say Dem Won, Hand Count Says GOP. With the 2022 midterms officially over, it’s now time to go over how the voting process went this go-round and what, if anything, needs to be changed before the next election cycle. This also means that votes for the recent midterms are being recounted both by machine and by hand in some cases to ensure that the correct winner was named, as several of the races were quite close.

And in a few of those instances, the recount has changed the election results completely.

Take a recently recounted race in Iowa for a state House seat, for example.

As WQDA-TV reported on election night, Republican candidate Luana Stoltenberg beat out Democrat Craig Cooper by a mere 29 votes.

But given the extremely tight results and the penchant for voting machines to experience errors, officials wisely thought a recount was in order.

A machine recount was conducted on November 15 – or at least one was attempted. However, midway through the process, the count was stopped because the tabulator machine being used kept jamming. On November 17, a hand recount was done. And then, on the 18th, another machine recount. The latest put Cooper and not Stoltenberg in the lead, if only by six votes.

However, officials decided one more recount, just to be sure, couldn’t hurt. And so this past week, another by-hand recount occurred. And this time, Stoltenberg came out on top again, this time by only 11 votes.

In Idaho, a similar instance occurred when Democrat Karma Metzler Fitzgerald supposedly beat out GOP Jack Nelson for a state House seat by 383 votes. However, it was realized that there was a voting tabulator glitch. Once the glitch was fixed, a machine recount was done, and Nelson showed to be on top by 84 votes.

In New Hampshire, Democrat Maxine Mosely won a state House seat by a mere one vote after that race was recounted. Previously, Mosely had been behind Republican Larry Gagne by 23 votes. 

Makes you wonder what a recount, either by machine or hand, could do for a couple of other close races across the country, doesn’t it? Say one Arizona gubernatorial race, for instance?"    News Around The Hill | Freedom Falcon

Yet another defeat for the Biden administration is delivered by the Supreme Court.

Quote: "Supreme Court delays the end of Title 42. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts intervened Monday to stop President Biden from ending the Title 42 border policy, delaying, for now, a human tsunami that is expected to push the immigration system to its breaking point. 

The Trump-era policy was supposed to be lifted Wednesday under a federal court order, but Roberts moved to keep it in place, pending a decision.

Supreme Court halts Biden

A group of 19 Republican states had filed an emergency application for a stay hours before it was granted by Roberts.

The Chief Justice asked the Biden administration to respond by Tuesday at 5 p.m. EST.

Title 42 was slated to be lifted on Wednesday after federal judge Emmet Sullivan, who blocked the policy, granted Biden a five-week delay to prepare for its recision.

The public health order enables immigrants to be rapidly expelled without an opportunity to claim asylum. It has been used to expel over 2 million immigrants since it was introduced by President Trump at the onset of the COVID pandemic in 2020.

All under control?

Biden says he has a plan to handle the aftermath once Title 42 is lifted, but then again, this is the same administration that insists the border is “secure.”

The Department of Homeland Security responded to the Supreme Court’s decision by asserting that the situation is under control while urging Congress to pass Biden’s amnesty “reform” bill.

“While this stage of the litigation proceeds, we will continue our preparations to manage the border in a safe, orderly, and humane way when the Title 42 public health order lifts,” a statement read.

Texas governor Greg Abbott (R) hailed Roberts’ decision, saying, “This helps prevent illegal immigration.”

Catastrophe on the border 

Title 42 is the only significant Trump-era border policy left in place since Biden began moving to aggressively curtail immigration enforcement on his first day in office nearly two years ago.

As many as 18,000 immigrants could begin storming the border every single day once Title 42 is lifted, which is equivalent to more than half a million new immigrants per month. Those in favor of lifting Title 42 say it’s a cruel impediment to “asylum” that is no longer justified as a public health restriction.

The prospective end of the policy is already having an impact, as a massive “caravan” of immigrants makes landfall in El Paso, Texas, where an emergency was declared Saturday.
