It’s Tuesday.
We’ve enter What Fresh Hell is This Day 14.
For What Fresh Hell is This Day 14, The Impeached Ass has not tweeted, it’s currently 11:31 a.m. D.C., time, and it’s possible I’ve jinxed it.
On Thursday he finished by tweeting 3 times and retweeting 1 time.

There was a huge public education campaign to prevent these kind of errors this year–Sam Levine.
From the linked article shared by Sam Levine.
With absentee ballots flooding election offices nationwide, the officials processing them are tentatively reporting some surprising news: The share of ballots being rejected because of flawed signatures and other errors appears lower — sometimes much lower — than in the past.
Should that trend hold, it could prove significant in an election in which the bulk of absentee voters has been Democratic, and Republicans have fought furiously, in court and on the stump, to discard mail ballots as fraudulent.
[for example].
In Fulton County, Ga., home to Atlanta, just 278 of the first 60,000-odd ballots processed had been held back. In Minneapolis, Hennepin County officials last week had rejected only 2,080 of 325,000 ballots — and sent replacement ballots to all of those voters. In Burlington, Iowa, the number of rejected ballots on Monday was 28 of 12,310. And of 474,000 absentee ballots received in Kentucky, barely 1,300 rejects remain uncorrected by voters, compared to more than 15,000 during the state’s presidential primary in June.
The number of rejections could fall further. In those jurisdictions and many others, voters are notified of errors on ballots and can correct their mistakes, or vote in person instead.
Election officials also say many voters appear more motivated to cast ballots this year, and more attentive to instructions on mail voting that have flooded newspapers, television and the internet. Changes in the design of ballots also have been a factor: On the advice of experts, for example, election officials in Rochester Hills, Mich., made the spot on ballots where voters are supposed to enter contact information easier to find. More are now doing that, making it easier to notify voters of problems with their ballots.

Adam Paul Laxalt says he’s a Trump campaign chair from Nevada. He shared this tweet 43 minutes before LameDuckAsshole did.
Megan Messerly works for the Nevada Independent, she was live tweeting the Clark County Commission election certification hearing on Tuesday.
If we click on Megan Messerly’s tweet her whole thread appears, the tweet that follows the one amplified by Laxalt, and One-termer says:
She responded to One-Termer.
In total, there were 936 discrepancies identified across Clark County. That includes six people who voted twice, among other issues like check in errors, inadvertently canceled voter check ins, issues with the ballot cure process, etc.

Those discrepancies, when you look at how many were in each race, were NOT enough to change the margin of difference in every single race in Clark County EXCEPT Commission District C, again because the margin was literally 10 votes.
— Megan Messerly (@meganmesserly) November 16, 2020
Also, who was it who identified these discrepancies? The registrar of voters in Clark County. The exact same Joe Gloria that Republicans have been maligning through this entire process. It was Gloria and his team who identified these errors.
— Megan Messerly (@meganmesserly) November 16, 2020
There is a process in place to find errors in the election! And when those errors are found — and are bigger than the margin of difference — you have folks like Gloria who will bring them to light. This is exactly how the process is supposed to work.

This is what Joe Gloria told the Clark County Commission, which is made up entirely of Democrats: https://t.co/QpP3l5J4pV
— Megan Messerly (@meganmesserly) November 17, 2020
And you know what? The entirely Democratic Clark County Commission decided, yes, this race is really close and the discrepancies are large and so they are going to hold a special election (i.e. a revote) to ensure the residents of District C can be confident in the outcome.

Anyways, here’s my whole thread on the Clark County Commission meeting canvassing the election results from earlier! https://t.co/yh0U8HJ4LI

Once again, the One-Termer 60-however many days he has left, showed his 80 million plus followers that the system in place worked. It did not uncover fraud, it found that one local race was too close, it was best to rerun that race for the integrity of the election.

Local reporter Nicole Valdes explained on November 12th, 2020.
Maricopa County just completed their hand count audit on Monday, and reported a 100% match. For reference, here’s a snippet from a letter sent to @FannKfann and @speakerbowers by @GeneralBrnovich on this issue & what exactly a hand-count audit tests: pic.twitter.com/BPkLuRyv9i

Here’s why @kelliwardaz argues this is an issue: pic.twitter.com/1qCWrIzinJ
— Nicole Valdes (@NicoleValdesTV) November 13, 2020
It’s important to note though: A hand count audit by vote center is allowed. The Elections Procedures Manual lays it out, which has the full force and effect as law- approved by @dougducey @GeneralBrnovich @SecretaryHobbs & recognized by courts.
— Nicole Valdes (@NicoleValdesTV) November 13, 2020
Also, “vote centers” aren’t a new thing either. While this is the first time @MaricopaVote has used the model, other AZ Counties (Yuma, Cochise & Yavapai) use it too & have been for longer.

The article posted by Breitbart was based on a YouTube video posted by Ward on Tuesday. She explains that Arizona is still in play and not to believe the fake news that says otherwise.
Biden’s national security briefing is not an official government briefing. He’ll be briefed by outside diplomatic, intelligence, and defense experts, a transition official tells @ArletteSaenz. https://t.co/GU1YeMcAaB

UPDATE:
It’s tweeted.
3:47 p.m. D.C., time.
1. Announces that he reversed a decision that had already been announced reversed an hour and thirty-four minutes before his announcement.
Fox News explained that on Monday the cemetery announced that “they were canceling the event that had been scheduled for Dec. 19 at Arlington National Cemetery and the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home Cemetery due to coronavirus concerns.”
In a press release, Arlington National Cemetery said that it had conducted a “thorough analysis” of how to safely conduct the event before ultimately deciding to cancel.
Fox News. 11/17/2020.
“We did not make this decision lightly. Despite the controls developed to disperse potential crowds in time and space, and required personal safety protocols, we determined that hosting any event of this scale risked compromising our ability to accomplish our core mission of laying veterans and their eligible family members to rest,” Office of Army National Cemeteries and Arlington National Cemetery Executive Director Karen Durham-Aguilera said in a statement.
Wreaths Across America responded to the decision on Monday.
They have not as this time, responded to the news of the reversal.
This post might be updated.
This is an Open Thread.
Including weekends this seems like a long time to go…
This feels like it’s even longer away…
It has now been *13 hours since the Impeached Lame-Duck One-Termer has tweeted. I believe the longest he’s ever gone without tweets is 18 hours. Might be 16 hours. If I recall correctly he was out of the country at the time.
*It was 16 hours without a tweet.*
