Polling Machines JUST WENT Down, Democrats Accused Of CHEATING Already

It is election day, my friends, and we are already dealing with widespread claims of Cheating and shenanigans we have in numerous states, polling issues. Now, the weirdest thing to me about all of this is the flooding that is actually affecting several states. There's actually a lot of flooding. It's very serious. And for this reason, we are seeing polling locations affected. I'm not going to call shenanigans on anybody because there's floods. Additionally, we are seeing power issues, ballot issues in numerous counties. And again, I'm not going to call shenanigans because sometimes these things happen. But yesterday we had issues in Maricopa County and now I'm like shenanigans because this is an Arizona where they have had so many issues for so long. At this point, how can you continue to have these issues? Reminds me of that Family Guy joke where the bar burns down and the insurance salesman then hands a check to the guy who bought it. And it's like the bar burned down a few days after he got the insurance. And Lois goes, she's like, wait, he bought fire insurance and then the place burned down a few days later. And the insurance sales guy is like, yeah. She goes, don't you find that a little odd? And the insurance guy goes, no, it happens all the time. The point being, if Maricopa County keeps having these issues, at a certain point, you're like, maybe they're doing it on purpose. Well, my friends, I have a litany of news stories breaking down Election Day morning and all of these big issues. Now, of course, the pollsters are out. We've got all of the big networks running their massive coverage saying, what is going to happen? And it's widely believed that Democrats are going to. We absolutely crush the Republicans. That being said, Donald Trump says you will be pleasantly surprised. It's not going to be as bad as you think. We don't know for sure. Because we dealt with these fake pollsters. We had two big pollsters that turned out to be fake, and now we're going to reap the benefits of those manipulations. I'm going to say this, my friends. Today is a big day. It's a big day. And we don't know exactly what to expect, but I can say everybody is trying to game the prediction markets. In which case, I don't know that Democrats are actually tracking for as well as people think they are. Well, I certainly think Republicans are not in a good position Democrats aren't particularly strong either. I mean, look, Haley Stevens coming out and endorsing the Republican shows you exactly where the Democrats are with the split between the DSA, you know, far left types and the moderates. All of these polls come out. They then show the prediction markets are massive. Democrats are going to win. I think people are gaming the system right now because there's short term money to be made. And one thing you all need to consider today. Again, I do think Democrats are on track to win. Let that be clear. Republicans win. I will be pleasantly surprised. Not completely because like Republicans, you know, but better than Democrats. What I will say is expect people in India and in Malaysia or wherever. To be trying to game our prediction markets to make money, in which case we don't know how much of the online sentiment actually reflects the American electorate, because we've already seen these fake Native American accounts that came from Bangladesh, which is a big scandal, and many others like it. And while the left likes to say, oh, Russia, and, you know, they're running influence operations, and the right says China's doing the same thing, the reality is... There's a bunch of scammers in India and Pakistan and Bangladesh that are running fake accounts to make money on our social media because we let it happen, and we should not. This means going into the polls, just go vote. Vote for who you want. Vote for what you think, and ignore the polls. They're not telling you all the details, and I think we are going, you know what, I'm going to say this too. This may be one of the first big prediction market elections. I know that we've had prediction markets for a while now. But we just saw the certification of Kalshi only in the past couple of years and Polymarket now in the United States allowing them to operate. And we've got a bunch of casinos and we've got stock trading apps that all now allow for prediction contract purchasing, which means all of this data is being manipulated. There was a dude in Paris who was making a wager. I shouldn't say wager, but bought a futures contract on what the temperature was going to be, took a portable battery and a blow dryer, walked up to the thermostat, blasted it to get it hot so that he would win money. Now, that's a French guy. What do you think people in India are going to be doing? So let's start here. And this is election day's voting ballot issues. We're going to break all of this down before we do, my friends. Head over to castbrew.com and buy Cast Brew Coffee. Use promo code TIMCAST10. You'll get 10% off of everything.

Westchester County, this is as of 8.42 a.m., county ballot scanners down due to issues with paper ballots. You see, the Westchester County Board of Elections said the issue with the ballot scanners is due an issue. There's a typo there. With the paper ballots, this is preventing voting machines from accepting ballots at polling locations throughout the county. The county issued a correction after earlier stating the problem was with the thickness of the ballots. Congressman Mike Lawler said there were issues with every ballot scanner. He says, we do not yet know the exact cause of the issue, whether it is the ballot or the machine. The Board of Elections is working with their vendors to resolve it. However, every ballot will be counted. Stay, stay online. Is it stay in line? Oh, he did say stay online. Okay. Stay online and vote. They could have put a sick there. Do not leave the polling place without voting. Lawlers wrote in a post on X less than 90 minutes after polls open. New York Attorney General Letitia James, oh yeah, we trust her, said on X that her office is monitoring the issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local boards of elections as they work on a solution. Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count. James' statement continues. Excuse me. Going to say that the Westchester County Board of Elections is aware of an issue involving paper ballots that is preventing voting machines from accepting ballots. And okay, we get it. Westchester, what are you doing? We got this NBC News with the update. Voters reported issues on voting machines down at polling locations in the county located in the Hudson Valley just north of New York City. Its Board of Elections said it was looking for, looking, it was looking the matter. What's with all the typos, guys? Hey, let's go, let's go yesterday. I love this one. We got this from the Gateway Pundit that I hope you're ready. Here we go. Maricopa County claims power-related issues, causing vote center closures. Resident says he was turned away from three different locations. We're getting effed again. Welcome to Arizona, my friends. Maricopa, where everything always seems to just go wrong. This is, uh, we got Michael Lawler. I thought I had Scott Pressler pulled up, but actually, maybe he's, uh, he's in here. Andrew Colvett chiming in. Of course, his Turning Point is located in Arizona. He says a vote center in a Republican stronghold of Maricopa is closed due to power-related issues. TP Action will get the information you need. That's the claim, my friends. Check this out. Lone Star Patriot says Democrats are cheating. Anyone really surprised? Maricopa County elections reported two vote centers temporarily closed due to power-related issues. Paradise Valley and Sunset Canyon. According to internet sources, these are in the North Phoenix Paradise area. Voter registration data from those ZIPs shows more Republicans than Democrats. So I hope you're ready. No matter what happens, we are going to hear everybody cheated. They're going to claim Trump cheated. They're going to claim the Democrats cheated. Everybody cheated all the time. They're all cheating. Gateway Pundit says back in 2022 on Election Day, voting centers across Maricopa County faced vote tabulator failures at roughly 60% of voting locations, leaving the majority Republican in-person voters stuck waiting in hours-long lines or unable to move. Republican Carrie Lake was running against Democrat Katie Hobbs for the governor race and lost by less than 1% after catastrophic failures disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters. Lake told the Gateway Pundit. Maricopa County is up to its old tricks again. Vote centers are closing over supposed power issues. A fire alarm got pulled at a site in heavily Republican Mesa. Voters are being told during ballot curing that ballots were cast they didn't know about and we're still dealing with the same late night activity at the tabulation center. Arizonans are done with the board of supervisors. Nothing to see here routine while trust keeps eroding. We the people deserve clean, transparent elections. It's past time for the DOJ and FBI to step in and investigate, she added. Hobbs is up for re-election this cycle against Trump endorsed Republican Andy Biggs. Here we go, my friends. It's about to get spicy. Croton Chronicles, causes of countywide voting snafu still not clear, but voting continues securely. So they say, hey, here we go. We got another one. This is from this morning as well. Power outage at Kansas City, Missouri polling place forces officials to use battery backups. Okay, okay. Like I said early, I don't want to scream shenanigans for literally every single problem because sometimes problems happen. We get it. But, you know, does it have to be in the troubled states? Does it have to be in the areas in contention? Westchester County is just north of New York City. It does lean a little bit more Republican, but it's a fairly moderate location anyway. I'm not going to call shenanigans on Westchester because no one ever came out and said, oh, the old competitive Westchester. But Maricopa? Spare me on Arizona. They got problems for days. I don't know what's up with that one. Here we go. Here we go. We got another one for you, because this is all from today, my friends, all from today. To be fair, Maricopa was from yesterday, but I'm saying the stories that I'm pulling up now. Power restored at Duval County voting locations after outage on Election Day. The Regency Square Branch Library and the Church of 1122 Arlington Campus remained open despite being ran under the power of a generator. Tell me how, my friends. We don't have this stuff not during elections, right? Maybe we do, and no one really cares, but I got to be honest, how often do we deal with power outages at our public locations? You know, look, sure, I get it. Sometimes it happens, right? But to have all of this happening on election day? Now, the reason why I want to stress, I don't cry shenanigans for every single thing. Governor DeSantis declares emergency in seven counties across Florida as flooding threatens election day polling sites. We have had torrential downpour in Florida for some time. We get it. Torrential rain along Florida's central and eastern coastline and in some inland counties has flooded roads, led to school shutdowns in some counties and prompted election officials to find alternative polling places. in affected areas. Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday afternoon issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency in Brevard, DeSoto, Hardy, Highlands, Indian River, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. Included in the order is a provision allowing local supervisors of elections in affected areas to designate new polling places at sites that are unsafe or where voters can't reach them. It is horrible rain right now in Florida. So while we are seeing Seeing these closures in Florida as of this morning. You don't got to cry shenanigans on every single issue. Hey, here's another one from Fox 5 Atlanta. Cobb voters can head to the polls if absentee ballots have not arrived. Okay, well, what's a, I saw this headline. I said, well, what is this story about? More than 200,000 Cobb County voters had cast ballots before Election Day, but some absentee voters faced delays after ballots issued from October 7th to 15th were unaccounted for, prompting the county to send replacement ballots by overnight mail. Come on, everybody. Did you think we were going to get through this day clean? You would have been absolutely nuts. I am so excited, guys. CalSheet.com slash Midterm Marathon. We are doing a big live stream, big stream starting at 4 p.m. today. Massive party in D.C. The new studio. It's going to be absolutely fantastic. You're going to love it. You're going to absolutely love it. It's going to be a lot of fun. And we'll be tracking all of the races and the elections. And of course, already as I wake up, Look at the stories I bring unto you. Like, well, okay, we got. Duval, Maricopa, Cobb, Westchester, seven Florida counties. So we're looking at like already 11 or so counties in jeopardy. But let's just look, you know, four or five. Kansas, I can't forget Kansas. Look at what is happening, okay? They say Cobb County officials traced the unaccounted for absentee ballots to third-party vendor Fort Orange Press. The county sent replacement ballots to eligible voters by overnight USPS Priority Express mail. Voters could return the replacement ballots by mail or deliver them to the county election's office. They have to be received by 7 p.m. Tuesday. Voters who requested an absentee ballot can instead vote in person if the county registrar has not received the ballot. Man, more than 200,000 Cobb County residents had voted, which the county said represented a 35% increase among registered voters. Statewide Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said more than 2.8 million Georgians had cast ballots before election day. Polls open at 7 a.m. and are scheduled to close at 7 p.m. Voters who are in line when polls closed can still cast a ballot. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got more Maricopa. I just got Cronkite News. Maricopa County elections officials discuss preparations for election day after heavy rainfall. Something's always wrong. Something's always wrong. What is it? Here we go. Scott Pressler. Here we go. This is, I thought I had the Scott Pressler thing pulled up. Says this post on why AZ polling places suddenly close is why he pushes early voting. He tweeted, so when people attack me for pushing early voting is exactly what I'm talking about. That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday, they had these problems. Now, this is the game that Democrats play that Republicans do not play. The Democrats tell everybody, you got to go out, vote early, vote by mail so we can maximize retention. Republicans all go out on day of thinking they're playing this fair game. And then all of a sudden they find out polling locations are closed and you got to wait in line. And that's all Democrats need to do in places like Maricopa. To make sure you are not able to get your vote count. And we've seen this time and time again in Maricopa. Republicans standing in line, and they're like, well, don't worry, we'll fix it eventually. We had that one issue, I think this was 2022, where the ballots were printed on the wrong paper, so they couldn't be scanned. They were wrong. They were not formatted properly. And these affected a massive amount of polling locations. If you vote early, you miss this stuff. That being said, I don't trust them anyway. Erica says, here we go, Maricopa, up to shenanigans, already shenanigans. Spitfire and X saying, what are the chances that there are going to be mass power outages all over the U.S. tomorrow on election day? It's all so obvious. The funny thing is, I wouldn't call it mass power outages, but you know, we are getting a handful of power outages. Oh, boy. November 2nd, 433, Utah activates emergency electronic voting in San Juan amid devastating floods. This is real, okay? There's actually floods here. And that's why I'm saying you can't cry shenanigans on literally everything unless you believe the government is controlling the weather and made the floods happen on election day. Nah, it's just the rainy season, my friends. It is November. We are in the rainy season for many parts of this country, and we are getting huge flooding across the board. So It really is what it is sometimes. And okay, that's just the Westchester one. We got a couple new updates and a few minutes for you guys to get the latest updates because we're going to be tracking all of this stuff live. Voting gets underway in the midterm elections. DOJ says it's taken reasonable efforts to ensure no sworn law enforcement officers are at polling places. The DOJ Civil Rights Division this morning assured a federal judge that it's taken reasonable efforts to ensure sworn law enforcement officers are not being used as civil rights election monitors. As NBC News reported, the DOJ is sending a record number of election monitors to polling places in all 50 states for today's midterm elections. The NAACP and LULAC had filed suit to block the administration from deploying federal law enforcement agents to the polls, and DOJ told U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton at a hearing yesterday that poll monitors pulled from agencies like the DEA, BOP, and ATF would only be administrative or clerical personnel, not sworn officers, with the authority to effectuate arrests. Now I'm just going to go ahead and say, I have questions about groups of people that come out and say something like, we don't want law enforcement anywhere around here. You know what I mean? Usually that implies something. You know what I mean? Like, look, man, I go and I walk around Washington, D.C., and I see National Guard everywhere, and I don't bat an eye. I'm walking down the street in D.C., and I see cops pulled over. I don't care at all. For what purpose do you need to say we shouldn't have law enforcement here? The presumption generated by many of these lefties is that cops are all criminal and bad guys. Not correct. I know, I went, I know, you know what I love? I'm in D.C., I see National Guard everywhere, and I'm like, this is great. You know why? Because I do have to have a bodyguard sometimes. I do have to deal with people who are lunatics. I tried to, I was talking to, I went to a show recently. I was hanging out backstage at this big show. And I was talking to the security guy because I got escorted in, I got special parking, and then I was able to hang out in a private area and backstage, and they were asking me about threats and everything. I said, listen, it's not about the people who are sending messages saying they want to kill me. Those are bad, right? Death threats are bad. It's about the people who just want attention, right? So there will be a guy, he doesn't hate or like me, he doesn't know or care, he just thinks if I punch that guy, I'm going to get on TV. That's the issue that you deal with with. Whack-a-loon lunatics roaming the streets. Someone who doesn't think twice about you sees you and just says, hey, I can go viral if I hit that guy. And that's true for so many people. Now, I do think, I do think, again, it's very strange when they're like, what do you mean you want to have law enforcement, you know, making sure nobody's doing anything illegal? You shouldn't be allowed to arrest people. Why? Well, I'll tell you this. If you do get federal law enforcement in these areas and someone does commit a crime and get arrested, you know the Democrats and the liberals are going to be like, they're cheating, they're arresting voters. So the Civil Rights Division is not doing that. But then I guess the question is, what's the goal? What's the end game? Intimidate fraudsters? Maybe. If somebody knows they're about to go vote illegally, maybe the argument is, well, if you've got DOJ poll watchers, they're going to be like, I'm too scared to do that. I suppose we will see, my friends. Stick around. It's going to be a spicy day. I'm very excited. We're going to have a lot of fun. Mostly excited for dinner. I got to make it to two in the morning. We'll be hanging out at the new studio in D.C. Tons of people are about to start coming in, so I got to wrap up these shows. Thank you all so much for hanging out, everybody. Smash the like button.
