Five weeks later, it appears Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D) has defeated Suraj Patel (D) by ~3,700 votes in the #NY12 primary.

But 12k+ absentees out of 65k+ cast were invalidated (mostly for being late/lacking postmark) and I still don't see new results posted by an official source.

That’s A LOT of ballots being tossed.

What a fricking debacle . I’d be willing to bet my life savings this won’t be shown on any of the Democratic ran news channels .

Will Republicans even bother challenging, or will they just roll over as usual and hope the Dems rub their bellies?

I can’t wait for them to explain how Biden gets 400 million votes.

Would republicans have standing to challenge an election between two democrats?

Proper legal standing wouldn’t stop Dems, why should it stop Reps?

Considering that this kind of process will affect them come November, I'd say yes.

It will come up during the debates. When Biden claims vote by Mail works, Trump needs to throw this example and these numbers back at him.

That’s a ridiculous percentage. He should point out on a national scale, the entire election is invalidated.

Its because people have no idea how any of these systems work. Paper ballots are a terrible idea when used as the sole means of voting in any given district or state. Even if there are no bad intentions, it's just too easy to set aside a box in the wrong pile or lose one and be out a thousand votes.

Let's not also forget how "outstanding" the post office is in this country. There are too many issues with pure paper ballots and thats before you factor in purposeful fraud.

Sure is a lot of talking by the GOP including Geotus. What is their plan to combat this crap?
