				 | Why false claims about Brazil's election are spreading in far-right U.S. circles
 
 Baseless claims that voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic are being used to rig voting in Brazil are circulating online and in far-right media in the U.S. – even though neither company's hardware or software is being used in the current election there.
 
 
 Here we go again The republican base Greasing the rails getting ready For the midterms  which may be much different than then the red wave they all  claimed was coming..
 
 and then Fox runs a twitter story fuling the same nonsense

 Colorado secretary of state says office accidentally sent 30,000 voter registration notices to noncitizens

 Colorado secretary of state says office accidentally sent 30,000 voter registration notices to...
 The office of Colorado's Secretary of State Jena Griswold said around 30,000 voter registration notices were sent out to non-U.S. citizens late last month.
 
 And Trump and the crazys grab on... By Tuesday, five days after the first story was published, Trump posted a story about the mistake by the conservative Daily Wire on his social platform, Truth Social. That story also used a headline with quotation marks around the word "accidental"
 
 I guess this is another example of Both sides ?
 
 
 
 it still may happen but we will see

Biden's Approval Plummets by Double Digits Among Democrats as Midterm Nears 
BY ANNA COMMANDER ON 10/22/22
 
President Joe Biden saw a significant dip in his approval ratings due largely to Democrats and independents.
 
Independents,  seem to be giving Biden the cold shoulder as his approval fell a whopping 18 percent in the past week. |

 |  the thing in colorado you’re harping on, actually happened, right?  so what’s your beef?  that the gop didn’t ignore it?
 
meanwhile 
msnbc reporting that “racism” is why hispanics are leaning more to the right then typically,  there can be no other reason.  it can’t be that hispanics don’t like the weird social engineering going on, or high crime. it can only be due to racism.  Right? |

				 | I’m happy with recent polling also
 The new nbc poll out this am shows all the speculation about election in last few days by too many in media was way premature and wrong.  Dems lead by 1 in this poll; and threats to democracy is number one issue especially among Dems.

 |  it would take a major event ( like the fed saying inflation is over and cutting interest rates) to turn the tide of the polls 
now. the democrats peaked too early, in summer. |

 |  seems to be a little confusion in the brandon whitehouse...surprise!
 
WASHINGTON (Reuters)  October 25, 2022   The White House has lowered its earlier optimism about the midterm elections and is now worried that Democrats could lose control of both chambers of Congress, administration officials say.
 
this is hilarious! |

				 | The question of midterms flipping is not shocking. It happens 99% of the time the only question is how far and if it’s both houses 
 Because if dems keep the Senate and Republicans take the house with a min majority. Not much is going to change

 |  True, the opposition party just about always picks up seats.  But sometimes it's a lot more extreme than other times.
 
99% of the time, the NY governors race isn't polling to be a close race.  99% of the time, polling doesn't show that Hispanics are making a meaningful shift to the right.
 
Didi you hear MSNBC's explanation for why Hispanics are moving to the right?  Because Hispanics hate black people.  Can't  be any other reason.
 
Agree, not a ton is likely to change. |

				 | If by chance the usual doesn't happen and the democrats hold either the  house or the senate, there will be a tidal wave of election deniers claims of voter fraud.  If the house and senate turn red, better hope you aren't to reliant on social security or Medicare, because that's next on the make America great again agenda. |

Liz the biggest Rino in the GOP said this
 
No one of any party should be voting for people who are election deniers...Kari Lake and Mark Finchem in AZ [are] telling you that they'll only certify an election they agree with. And there's not a much graver threat to democracy than that."
 
Liz is speaking to people of principal  
So the majority of Republicans won’t hear her message .  Because It’s not a lie .
