Oprah delivers November surprise, endorses Fetterman over Oz By MARC LEVY, Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — TV icon Oprah Winfrey on Thursday endorsed Democrat John Fetterman in Pennsylvania's hotly contested Senate race and rejected Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, whom she had helped launch to stardom nearly two decades ago when she brought him on her popular daytime talk show as a regular guest. Until now, Winfrey had said she would leave the election to Pennsylvanians, but she changed that position in an online discussion on voting in next Tuesday's election. ”I said it was up to the citizens of Pennsylvania and of course, but I will tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons,” Winfrey said, before going on to urge listeners to vote for Democrats running for governor and Senate in various states.

Oprah is just another IGNORANT meddler, trying to nationalize our elections. We have the vote here in Pennsylvania Ron, we the citizens of the Commonwealth.

Steve, Oprah is an American with the privilege and the right to exercise her right of FREEDOM OF SPEECH and that doesn't make her less if she changes her mind, just like you do Steve. Now her voice is much stronger than yours and she is rich too.

Then why are some of the people of Pennsylvania looking at OZ?

Because Ron, Dr. Oz's brain is intact. None of it has been destroyed by a blood clot.

Steve, there was little to no cheating in the 2020 election and you still can't find any proof of widescale voter fraud anywhere in the nation. You won't find voter fraud on a widescale level because THE BIG LIE was something Trump has been pushing and you brought into it, hoof, line and sinker.

Widescale mail-in voting resulted in widescale voter fraud in this nation Ron.

Steve, ask yourself this question: Where can I find any proof that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen from TRUMP?
Where is the proof that proves Widescale mail-in voting was the result of Donald Trump lost?
Quick Note Steve - You will not find any prove of that Trump won a second term in office as President of The United States of America. Do you know why? Because you have been GASLIGHTED. You don't believe 💩 about the truth about Donald J. Trump.
You poor little man you.

Ron, what was the mail-in ballot rejection rate in 2020? Let me save you the effort. It was 0.8 percent. That's the proof.

0.8% ain’t 💩 of 100% and definitely not enough to turn over the 2020 presidency to Donald J Trump.
Let’s take a look at The Popular Vote:
Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent
Now your figure was 0.8 Ok let us say that figure is real, let’s work with that figure for a moment.
Now Steve, let’s do the math. If you was to take off 8 points from 51.3 - 0.8 = 50.6 Biden is still in command of
Steve, take your time and sit down some where because that thought is still full of💩 and the truth can’t be found nowhere in your last statement.
In short BIDEN would still would be president of the United States of America, even by your figures.

You've got it backwards Ron. The rejection rate should have been much higher, and if more mail-in ballots had been rejected, as they legally should have been, Biden would not have been wrongfully installed as President.

You do see that 0.8% is not enough to over turn a Presidential election, don’t you get it yet Steve?

Check out these predictions made BEFORE the 2020 general election Ron:
In the 2020 general election, more Americans will vote by mail than ever before.
BY CHRIS TALGO, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 10/09/20 8:30 AM ET
Some states, such as California, have mailed so-called unsolicited ballots to all registered voters. Meanwhile, many others have expanded absentee ballot eligibility requirements.
One way or another, millions of Americans will vote via mail this fall, which could create a nightmare scenario in which the election outcome could be in flux weeks after Election Day.
There are many reasons why mail-in ballots are unreliable. One of the most significant is that mail-in ballots are often rejected.
In New York, which used mail-in ballots during its primary elections this spring, 21 percent of ballots were rejected because of errors.
In Pennsylvania, the same scenario played out, with more than 20 percent of mail-in ballots rejected due to voter error.
According to a recent NPR analysis, “An extraordinarily high number of ballots — more than 550,000 — have been rejected in this year’s presidential primaries … That’s far more than the 318,728 ballots rejected in the 2016 general election and has raised alarms about what might happen in November when tens of millions of more voters are expected to cast their ballots by mail, many for the first time.”
Making matters more ominous, NPR reports that these figures are likely an underestimate because many states have not yet reported their rejection numbers for primary elections.
Unbeknownst to many, mail-in voting is not as simple as it sounds. Each state has different rules when it comes to casting mail-in ballots. Some require multiple witnesses. Others require the ballot be notarized. For many voters, adhering to the labyrinth of instructions that accompany a mail-in ballot is just too difficult.
As the NPR analysis explains, “the rejection numbers are only part of the picture … they don’t always take into account mail-in ballots that are initially accepted but then not counted because of other mistakes, such as a voter incorrectly choosing too many candidates or incorrectly circling a candidate’s name instead of filling in the bubble next to it.”
In other words, even if a ballot is accepted initially, it can be rejected later for a host of reasons.
The outsized rejection rate for mail-in ballots could have massive implications, especially in battleground states. In many battleground states in the 2016 election, the margin of victory was razor thin.
For instance, in the 2016 election, four states were decided by less than a percentage point. In 2020, with massive mail-in voting, any state that is not a landslide for either candidate will likely be called into question due to mail-in vote counting concerns.
Moreover, this is likely to result in a series of lawsuits that call electoral returns into question.
“For their part, Democrats are pushing widespread mail-in voting but are also concerned that many of their voters’ ballots could be rejected if the rules aren’t relaxed,” reports NPR. “They’re in court in more than half the states fighting to extend mail-in ballot deadlines and to waive witness and notary requirements. They also want voters to be given the opportunity to fix errors before their ballots are rejected.”
This is a recipe for disaster. With the massive onslaught of mail-in ballots that will overwhelm local elected officials on Election Day and beyond, simply counting unrejected ballots will be a tall task.
Then the legal battle will ensue. Imagine a scenario in which we have no clear winner on or shortly after Election Day due to a myriad of lawsuits challenging rejected or unrejected mail-in ballots.
In 2000, it took more than a month before the Supreme Court finally declared the winner of one disputed state, Florida, by a five to four ruling in Bush v. Gore.
In 2020, we could have more than a score of states with disputed returns that would have to be decided ultimately by the Supreme Court.
And with the nomination of Amy Coney Barret still in flux, the ultimate worst-case-scenario could be a four to four tie.
Barring a landslide victory by either candidate on Election Day, the 2020 election could put the United States in dangerous waters.
As we have all witnessed, the country is already teeming with division and distrust. A disputed election due to mail-in voting malfeasance could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.
In more than 230 years, the United States has never had an election result rejected by the people. But with a torrent of mail-in ballots that will throw a huge wrench into the validity of ballot counting, this could the first time that the United States experiences the crisis of a disputed election.

You do see that 0.8% is not enough to overturn The 2020 Presidential election, don’t you get it yet Steve?
Steve, this is good information, why don't you start a new blog?

Oh yes, I do understand Steve. That is the reason why this country needs a one universal system for Mail-In voting.

We should have universal in-person voting. On paper ballots and hand counted.

The Mail-In system works that way, Steve with one exception, which is the in-person part. If you ever voted by mail before, you would have known is that ballot that you are using the same ballot used in person, as one would use in person or at the voting booth and that Mail-In ballot is also counted by hand.
Steve, this is what Freedom in The United States of America is all about. Now I will tell you what is NOT Freedom in the U.S., It is when The people of The United States' voices was heard by the power of The Vote and then one man can change the people's choice, that is NOT freedom in this country at is Fascism.
Steve, do you think one man should have the power to overrule the people's Vote, the voice of the people of The United States of America?

We do not have a well founded democracy Ron. The founders knew that the common man needed to be guided, not taken advantage of by unscrupulous leaders.
