That also includes cheating during an election, especially in areas Democrats control like inner city voting places. All kinds of things can occur when you’re dealing with nefarious political operatives and pre-selected ignorant participants. Especially when you can hang that convenient cloud of racism over the heads of anyone who may call blacks on any wrongdoing.

According to Dr. Linda Lee Tarver’s testimony in front of the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee, that’s what occurred in Detroit and Flint, Michigan during the 2020 presidential election.

Dr. Tarver has done more than just spoken out about her concerns.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the Board of State Canvassers, are being sued by two petitioners for what they referred to as interfering with the integrity of the election. Petitioners Angelic Johnson, a member of Black Voices for Trump (now called Black Voices), and Dr. Linda Lee Tarver (board member of Black voices) are bringing the lawsuit.

They allege Michigan Secretary of State Benson’s actions of sending out absentee ballots to every Michigan household, allowing people to register online to vote, which are legal, sending out ballots to every person regardless of whether they were alive or dead at the time of the election, sending ballots to temporary Michigan residents and non-U.S. Citizens contributed to what they called a fraudulent election.

While the media insists there is “no evidence” of “widespread vote fraud”, the Dr. Tarver’s presentation will never be presented to the American people because she’s not their kind of approved black woman.

Dr. Linda Lee Tarver should be the next chair of the Republican Party. Doesn’t present GOP chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel brag about being from Michigan? Shouldn’t she have known this mess has been and would be happening? She may have been able to head things off and not just spend millions of donor dollars and redistribute them to lawyering-up pre-election. Of course, that won’t happen any time soon because things have been running so smoothly thus far, right?

2017

On Tuesday night, Democrats flipped two Republican-held state legislative seats — one in Oklahoma, one in New Hampshire — that Donald Trump carried in the 2016 election.

That makes six turnovers from Republican to Democrat in contested state House and Senate races so far in 2017 — and 26 out of 35 races (at the state legislative and congressional level) in which the Democratic nominee has overperformed Hillary Clinton’s showing last November. (Worth noting: Republicans have yet to flip a Democratic-controlled seat so far this year.)

2018

After the 2018 midterm elections, 20 House Republican incumbents lost their seats to a Democrat. Of those, 10 were in Clinton-won districts, while 9 were incumbents who Republicans had previously said were in competitive, coin-flip races.
— Axios, 11/8/18

2019

Republicans suffered setbacks in two states in off-year elections Tuesday, despite President Donald Trump’s efforts to rally supporters to the defense of GOP candidates down the ballot as the 2020 race heats up.

A staunchly pro-Trump Republican governor in Kentucky faced what could be an upset loss in his re-election bid. And in Virginia, Democrats seized both houses of the Legislature from Republicans, gaining full control of state government for the first time in 26 years.
— Bloomberg, 11/6/19

But that didn’t stop Ronna from basking in yet another Fox News appearance to make excuses for defeats by blaming the candidate: a deflection that will surely be employed for years to come.

The red areas are staying red and the blue areas are staying blue.
— Ronna Romney McDaniel, Fox News, 11/6/19

If anything, Ronna Romney McDaniel is consistent. Given the activities of her “progressive Republican” Uncle Mitt over the years, her appointment to chair of the Republican National Committee can only be politics-as-usual at the least, nepotism at the worst. And while her tenure as chair has brought in highly-touted record amounts of fundraising for the party, like most nonprofits, the only people who appear to benefit are those within the GOP apparatus. Certainly not down-ballot candidates or ultimately Republican voters.

According to FEC filings in 2019 alone, it appears a whopping 71% of the monies raised in 2019 has gone to “operating expenditures”, meaning pricey office spaces, travel costs, lots of meals, overhead expenses and very generous GOP staff salaries that keep them visibly well fed.

If 2018 was any indication, it doesn’t appear that the Republican Party supports state and/or local candidates if at all.

The state and local Republican (nonprofit) parties don’t appear to be any better off as those at the top find it easier to blame their voters and not their lackluster attempt to inspire them with a solid ground game and exciting candidates.

For example, Bill Card, Chairman of the Prince William County Republican Committee in Virginia laid most of the blame for 2019 flips of Democrat-to-Republican seats on GOP voters and did so on local Washington, D.C. radio.

…
While Card conveniently blamed the absence of a top-of-the-ticket draw, the same could be said about the Democrats and for some strange reason, they were inspired to get their voters to the polls; a feat local Republicans failed at big time.

Between hiring inexperienced, victory-challenged millennials to charge top dollar and consistently run losing campaigns to lazy and literally fat-and-happy heads of state and local Republican parties who show little interest in providing near zero evidence that Republicans are even on the ballot, it’s no wonder why disciplined Democrats are winning seats previously held by Republicans for decades.

For example, outside voting precinct #401 in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Democrats were present and readily handing out sample ballots. There were no Republicans in sight and in general there seems to have been an overall lack of urgency, especially given the highly-publicized monetary interference of George Soros. That was NOT the fault of the voters but of those who readily take in party donations and again have little to show in return.

Fairfax County Republican Party Chairman Tim Hannigan & Loudoun County GOP Precinct Operations Committee Chairman Lou Cironi were even less inspiring….

…
While those running the national, state and local Republican parties will continue to absolve themselves of results that would have gotten them run off The Apprentice long ago, Republicans in many locales will be forced to endure higher taxation, sanctuary states, counties and/or cities, infanticide on demand, anti-police #BlackLivesMatter and #Antifa promotion, assaults on the 2nd Amendment, LGBTQIAP+ anything and everything in schools, climate change mandates, Muslim special treatment, voting rights for super majority Democrat felons, gerrymandering run amok, pro-illegal alien programs and oversized welcome mats for “refugees”, complete with every housing, food and cash demand that can be doled out at taxpayer expense.

Yes, this is what happens when Republicans don’t vote.

It’s also what happens when the RNC party leadership provides little-to-no support for candidates, that is if we don’t provide Democrats the gift of more uncontested seats.

The red areas are staying red and the blue areas are staying blue.
— Ronna Romney McDaniel, Fox News, 11/6/19

Only someone who considers donors and voters stupid could make such a blatantly dishonest statement on national television with a smile.

Ronna Romney McDaniel is a self-serving, empty plus-size and the continued examples of her failed “leadership” has tricked down to the local level and the Republican Party is being made quite irrelevant.

It’s almost like this could be part of some divine plan to plow a path for a possible savior.

Uncle Mitt maybe…?

This Is the Woman Who Could Help Republicans Win in November

Ronna Romney McDaniel loves the phrase “You don’t get what you don’t ask for.”

McDaniel, 45, is supremely confident about asking for what she wants: Since January 2017, when she became the chair of the Republican National Committee, she has helped the party haul in well over $210 million, more than any previous RNC chair during a midterm election cycle. The Michigan-based mom of two has traveled more than 150,000 miles, visiting over half the states. But there’s no time to rest: Republicans are fighting to keep their hold on Congress in a November vote that is widely seen as a referendum on President Donald Trump.

If you can raise large amounts of money, cool. You need to be able to show results and if the game is politics during a political season, you need to assure donors and voters that you’re competitive. Appearances on cable news is one thing and it’s sad how that alone can be enough to give one credibility.

It also means you need to have players on the field, something Ronna Romney McDaniel’s Republican Party has monumentally failed at doing, especially in a campaign season predicted to be razor-thin close.

In 2018, a total of 3 U.S. House races do not have a Democratic candidate and 39 U.S. House races do not have a Republican candidate.
— Ballotpedia

The standard excuse issued is that some races are “unwinnable”; an excuse clearly debunked by that well-known term “upset victory”. However, upset victories are only possible if an effort is made and maintained.

Just ask PRESIDENT Trump.

When the final numbers are tallied on election night, we’re hoping the Republican Party keeps both the House and Senate so President Trump’s agenda can continue to move full steam ahead.

However should the Republicans lose the House and the margin is within 39 seats, we hope Ronna Romney McDaniel has more than excuses why the party couldn’t find and support a candidate to at least try and make those races competitive. We hope she has an even better reason on why she should keep HER job, which could be argued was more about the protecting the self-serving while making a half-assed attempt at recruiting those who wish to serve the American people.

In very few instances is a no-show acceptable, especially when it’s your well-paid job to not only raise money to keep your employees compensated and your expensive overhead covered, but to also support candidates who’re sticking their necks out.

That is, unless, you dropped the ball and there are no candidates to support.

11/7/18 UPDATE:

As it turns out, Republicans lost the House by 26 seats.

There are many teams prior to the start of the 2018 National Football League season that we all know don’t have a shot in hell in winning the Super Bowl, yet they try and find the best possible players to put on the field in an attempt to compete, and some even win. At the start of the last National Hockey League season, no one believed an expansion team would make it to the Stanley Cup final. Yes, they didn’t win but had they adopted the wisdom of the Republican Party, Las Vegas wouldn’t have even put that team on the ice.

Would those 39 uncontested seats have produced victories? That all depends on how invested Ronna and the national party would have been to that district, but it also shows the lack of interest a “sacrificial lamb” had in sticking his or her neck out knowing they’d receive zero meaningful help from the GOP. One would think Republicans living in those districts would have appreciated the courtesy of having a candidate, other than a Democrat, to vote for.

But her Uncle Mitt found his way back to Capitol Hill, one step closer to what he’s always believed is his birthright, whether the people of Utah or the United States want him or not and Ronna’s presence can only be there for a reason, given her years of experience and political acumen.

Romney McDaniel began her political career in 2012 working on the presidential campaign of her uncle, Michigan native and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. She was elected one of Michigan’s two representatives on the Republican National Committee in 2014 and was elected  chairman of the Michigan Republican Party in 2015.
— Detroit Free Press, 12/9/16

Turning Michigan red in 2014 wasn’t that monumental an accomplishment given the backlash that had been brewing against Barack Obama and Democrats for years. But her name was enough, losing with Mitt in 2012 wasn’t enough and now Ronna Romney McDaniel takes the 2018 midterm House loss with a smile.

That “blue wave” hit the Trump red wall… it was a great night for Republicans!
— RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, 11/7/18

Tell that to the driven Republican candidates who lost and voters who had no GOP option.

Let’s do some easy math.

In 2018, there were 435 congressional district races and 35 senate races. According to OpenSecrets, the GOP raised $283.6 million and spent $274.7 million. That could’ve come out to roughly $584,415.00 per race, not including what the candidates individually raised. Even if that expenditure per campaign were lowered to $450k per race so assistance could be shared with statewide candidates, there was more than enough cash to help candidates that needed support while keeping the GOP staff fat and comfortable with the remaining $34.2 million “cash on hand”.

Like most on the D.C. political level, failing to do what you were hired to do is not a fireable offense like in almost every other business entity. We’re probably stuck with McDaniel for the foreseeable future and we’ll also soon see where her true alliances lie and why she was installed as Chairman of the Republican Party in the first place.
