Isn’t the Internet a Wonderful Tool?

In the modern age, we have instant information at our fingertips. No need to rely on the biased mainstream media for information, one can go straight to the source.

The eyes of the world are on Pennsylvania at present so the factual results, rather than the media calls on the outcome are important.  After a search for “pennsylvania voting results 2020” and wading through all the media results one can find an official .pa.gov site.

Google search result.

Excellent!

But that link re-directs to a .com site, which appears to be official and does not have any results. Never mind, a bit of browsing on the votespa.com site finally finds this page.

Well that looks promising. Note the date at the bottom – nearly a week after polling day.

Click on the box for the “current vote totals …”

Note the link in the address box!

… and you disappear down the rabbit hole where you can imagine six impossible things before breakfast.

This is supposedly one of the most advanced countries in the world, the home of Silicon Valley and tech entrepreneurship, and yet there is no data available online.

Why have a box to click on if there is nothing behind it?

Cartoon: Chris Hipkins brands Split Your Vote an absolute rort on one side while leaving a Te Pati Maori pathway open on the other

Hipkins the Hypocrite

Hipkins called Harry Mowbray’s split-vote campaign an absolute rort by wealthy entrenched interests. Under MMP an overhang is a feature, not a loophole. Chippy only hates it when his mates aren’t running it. If it is absolute fraud, rule Te Pāti Māori out. He will not.
