Democrats either go it alone, or they go nowhere. A few more months will clarify* their real intent. I'm not expecting any surprises, pork futures are steady.

Whatever... spit on this:

I want both. I'm very interested in what happened in Kentucky. And I am also very interested in who gave the order to the cops/guard to stand down. Other than that, there were a lot of people there, gonna arrest them all?

UPDATE:
*Here's Joe Manchin, performing a bit of that clarification.

UPDATE (just for you, AC!):
What happened in Kentucky?

    It's not so hard to forge a ballot. In some places it is a trivial operation with a photocopier. In other places it is harder, but all you need is a bit of cooperation from somebody with a printing press. It could even be the person contracted to print the legitimate ballots: print 666000 according to the contract, then print an extra 12000 as a political favor.

    To summarize the video: before the polling place opened for the day, a table was brought in. Large boxes were hidden under the table. The place opens, people vote, and the place closes. Observers are there as votes are counted. The observers are told that voting is done for the night, so they should go home. Four people stay there, sitting very idle for many minutes. (to make sure the observers don't peek in) Suddenly they spring into action. They retrieve the hidden boxes from under the table. They take ballots from the boxes, then feed those ballots into the counting machines. Clearly the law was violated. Somehow, large amounts of fraudulent ballots were produced and then counted.

    One doesn't just flip a precinct. Within a state, the USA uses a popular vote. (the electoral system is not recursively applied to smaller and smaller jurisdictions) Adding some Biden votes to a Biden district is an effective way to flip an entire state. It often doesn't take very many votes in a swing state. The extra votes are easy to hide in a big city. It also doesn't take many votes to flip congress, because you can focus on the closest races.

    BTW, some other methods:

    Ballot harvesting is legal in California. It is thought to have flipped some US House seats. The HR 1 bill would make it legal everywhere. The way it works is crazy: any random person is authorized to go around collecting ballots. Just go door-to-door asking for ballots, then turn them in. Nobody will know if you discard ballots from areas that vote in ways you dislike. Nobody will know if you steam open the envelopes, or even if some people hand over unsealed/unfilled ballots. Nobody can ever prove any kind of fraud you might engage in. It's the perfect crime.

    The post office is 90% democrat, and their union endorses democrats, yet they are trusted to transport ballots. A few were caught. Ballots got dumped in dumpsters and streams. How many were not caught? Worse yet, ballots can be diverted to people who steam open the envelopes. It's effective for flipping a close race.
