No. I went by the evidence available at the time. The articles at the time stated the man was found with credit cards that were not in his name, and lots of mail. Not just those bundles of ballots. Lots of other mail as well. That pointed to mail theft in service to identity theft. Bingo! That’s exactly what it was. You need to understand I knew it was a very common type of crime and increasing in frequency. Only guess I made that was not correct was where the mail came from. Not a collection can, but from a postal vehicle. Carrier must have left his/her truck unlocked while it was unattended.
But, bottom line is that it was easy to guess what had happened, and I guessed correctly. I stated at the time the fact that he had all that mail indicated the ballots were just incidental to the theft. Should we assume he stood at the mail truck and screened everything, looking for mail pieces he thought might be useful in identity theft? Far more likely that he grabbed a postal bucket full of outgoing mail, and took off with it, including ballots that were of no use to him.
You can believe what you want. I knew exactly what it almost surely was, and said I would update this thread if and when an answer was provided. It came through my feed yesterday, so I found the thread and updated it.
I’m going with the common sense I went with at the time of the incident. You can convolute it if it pleases you, but this was easy.
Lol, babe, you said recently that nobody should ever take you seriously. You should picked sensibly the hills you want to die on man. You’re a funny dude. I like you….
Well, so I like you too. Probably almost any human in fact.
We don't come made with any kind of sensibilities except maybe Mama's love. The rest we have to make up somehow.
The idea that we know anything, ultimately, is our fondest delusion.
So I never followed this story very well. I think I did hear that there was some stolen mail in the car when it was found. Identity theft is I think lucrative enough to motivate someone, but it does take a little thought..... how to rob a postal van or truck, where you might have such an opportunity. A crowbar and a corner mail can might be easier at 2 AM, whatever.
After I wrote my bit above, I got to thinking. Can I trust a liberal rag like SF Gate? Don't they just have a lot of very bad reporters who write stuff off the top of their heads even worse than I do? Can I believe a police investigation in a fascist
State like California, with crooks like Newsome and Pelosi running everything?
No, I cannot just believe a report like this, or even the news then or now.
The reporter might have just gotten it all wrong in saying "300 Newsome ballots" were found. There might have been 600. And there might have been 300 ballots for the Larry Edwards guy. They might have had postmarks showing they were collected in Hawthorne, or some other place, there might have been no pastmarks at all, showing they were picked up somewhere and were on the way to the Post Office.
My opinion about pervasive and systematic fraud in elections derives from official data, which also could be all wrong somehow. Stuff like 80% turnout in the same area where 30% of registered voters can't be found.
Stuff like caches of ballots being found that are all for one side of the election, supposedly collected from where-ever.
You see, there is math involved in statistics. Some facts of math can prove a fraud.
In statistics, where there is a population of 90% "D" balls and 10% "R" balls, the odds of not getting any R balls in a sample set is 9/10 exp 10. It happens sometimes. About 30% of a set of ten yielding no "R" balls is the mean probability. And close to that you'll get 2 "R" balls. Rarely, 3. If you can reliably guess such results several times in a row, you might consider becomeing a gambler and facing a life of being thrown out of Casinos or carted off to jails to explain your skills. The odds of consecutively getting that result for sets of ten thirty times in a row is pretty close to 0. That is what I call statistical proof.
The numbers I saw in real time watching election results all night long in Nov 2020 are not rationally believable in statistical terms
But you are right. I would need to see that cache of mail myself, before it was stampered with, and carefully examine the ballots, to believe I knew what happened. It would be nice if police recorded events like that as they came on the scene, and we could see the facts first hand.
