Never! Georgia And Florida Must Have New Elections

Image
Georgia & Florida MUST Have New Elections Change Is Gonna Come The infamously tainted elections in Georgia and Florida MUST be re-done while the whole world watches. These elections have been run by candidates who are running in them. There's no reason to have any confidence in any outcome. There's just one solution: New Elections. This time supervised by the United Nations, or some other neutral international body, under intense global scrutiny. Recent elections in Austria and Ukraine have been re-done, with revised outcomes. This year in Georgia, the voting was managed by Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a candidate for governor. Kemp infamously locked up more than 50,000 ballot applications, most of them from African-Americans, who were thereby denied their right to vote. Amidst a firestorm of corruption charges, Kemp resigned as secretary of state but is declaring himself governor. Florida's race is controlled by Governor Rick Scott, candidate for US...

Democrat Wins By A Single Vote In This Kentucky House Race AFP/Getty Images November 16, 2018 7:26 am — Mary Beverly Goetz is 76, uses a walker and recently had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. Worried her health issues would prevent her from voting for Democrat Jim Glenn in her western Kentucky state House district, she requested an absentee ballot by mail and sent it in weeks ahead of the election to make sure her vote was counted. Glenn won by one vote. “It made me feel good,” Goetz said. “It made you feel like your vote really counted.” As the nation watches election officials in Florida and Georgia painstakingly review results in high-profile Senate and governor’s races, many less prominent races across the country were decided by agonizingly close margins. Glenn’s victory in Owensboro, Kentucky, was one of six state House races decided by a handful of votes. In District 27, Democrat Jeff Greer lost to Republican Nancy Tate by s...

Israel minister SAYS, WE will return with 500 coffins if we  enter Gaza Israeli minister, Tzachi Hanegbi on 8 January 2013 [The Israel Project/Wikipedia] November 16, 2018 at 10:51 am Israeli Minister of Regional Cooperation Tzachi Hanegbi yesterday justified the Israeli prime minister’s decision not to launch a new war on Gaza saying “Hamas had a reason to attack”. “It wasn’t that Hamas acted without a pretext. It had a pretext — to try to exact revenge. Its revenge was minor. In all, it managed, with 400 rockets, to kill one Palestinian,”  Hanegbi told  Army Radio . When it was put to him that one rocket fell on an empty kindergarten, Hanegbi replied: “The empty kindergarten – that’s always talked about. But those over 500 coffins – of the Israeli youths that would come back if we sent them into [Gaza’s] Jabalaya [refugee camp] – would not be empty.” The minister’s comments stirred controversy across Israeli political sp...

Putin raised questions about the details of a 1956 declaration to be used as a basis for peace treaty negotiations with Japan.    TOKYO/MOSCOW -- One day after Japan and Russia agreed to accelerate talks toward a long-delayed peace treaty, efforts to settle the territorial dispute that has long blocked a pact have already run into their first potential stumbling block. The 1956 joint declaration notes that the Soviet Union is ready to cede two of the southern Kuril Islands to Japan, Russian President Vladimir Putin told Russian reporters in Singapore on Thursday. But "it says nothing about specific legal grounds for ceding these islands, their subsequent jurisdiction or the procedure for handing them over to Japan,"...
