2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: LET'S START WITH FLORIDA. UPDATE

DEMOCRATS, I REALIZE YOUR LEADERSHIP IS USELESS, AND WINNING THE SENATE DOES NOT MEAN MUCH WHEN YOU  HANDED OVER THE SUPREME COURT WITHOUT A FIGHT, BUT... A 22.5% INCREASE IN TOTAL VOTES IN FLORIDA. ARE YOU THAT INCOMPETENT AND/OR CORRUPT THAT NOBODY IN THE STATE SAID "HMM, THAT'S A REALLY BIG INCREASE, WE NEED TO LOOK INTO IT NOW," OR DO YOU JUST TAKE WHAT THE REPUBLICANS AND RUSSIANS WILL GIVE YOU?


AS OF RIGHT NOW THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

SO, I DECIDED TO GET A JUMP ON THE ANALYSIS, AND STARTED WITH FLORIDA.

2016 REP. VOTE TOTAL- 4,617, 886

2020 REP. VOTE TOTAL- 5,657, 933


INCREASE OF 1,040,047 VOTES or 22.5%


AS OF 4:30PM- TRUMP HAS INCREASED HIS NATIONAL VOTE TOTAL BY 4,749,787 FROM 2016 TO 2020.

 THAT MEANS FLORIDA  ALONE  ACCOUNTS FOR 21.9% OF THAT INCREASE.

                    PERHAPS THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP CAN EXPLAIN HOW THIS INCREASE IS IN ANY WAY ACCEPTABLE?

This message is being sent to the APA member group Public Philosophy Network.

Because our association management system has been experiencing partial service disruptions, we have extended the deadline to nominate members for APA leadership positions until Sunday, November 8.

All nominations must be made through the online nominations system. Nominations submitted by email, phone, or postal mail will not be accepted.

There are member positions available on all APA committees, including the new Committee on the Status of Disabled People in the Profession, as well as openings for associate chair positions on five committees. We are also accepting nominations for one board member at large and four members of the Graduate Student Council (GSC). Most committee terms are three years in length; GSC terms are two years. Sign into the nominations system for more information and for the complete list of leadership positions.

Both nominators and nominees must be current APA members. If you haven't done so already, please renew your APA membership.

Visit the nominations site.

Service on the board of officers, an APA committee, or the graduate student council is a significant opportunity for leadership in the profession and the association. I encourage you to take the time to nominate qualified candidates-self-nominations welcome!-for these important positions.

All the best,

Mike

HOW HAVE WE COME TO THIS? THE INCOMPETENCE, IRRATIONALITY, CRIMINALITY, AND BETRAYAL THAT HAS LEAD THE U.S. TO EDGE OF THE ABYSS. PT 6. NO MORE EXCUSES FOR THE 2016 DEBACLE. DO YOUR JOBS THIS TIME.

 



WITH THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BEFORE US, 

 IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM SHOULD YOU ACCEPT AS

 REASONABLE AN UNVERIFIED OPINION ABOUT THE FINAL

 RESULTS  FROM;


 -  ANY REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBER.

-  ANY U.S. SENATOR FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,

   OR EITHER INDEPENDENT U.S. SENATOR.

-  OVER THE AIR NEWS MEDIA.

-  ANYONE APPOINTED BY DONALD TRUMP, 

-  A SECURITY AUDIT OF EVERY STATES RETURNS.


WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, 

AND SUBSEQUENT BEHAVIOR SINCE THEN, THAT THE 

ABOVE GROUPS CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PROPERLY 

EVALUATE AND JUDGE ELECTION RESULTS WITH A 

MINIMAL ASSURANCE OF INTELLECTUAL DISCIPLINE AND 

/OR A SYSTEM OF ETHICS EXPECTED OF THE OFFICE OR 

POSITION OCCUPIED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL AND/OR GROUP.


The 2016 ELECTION REVEALED THAT MANY OF THOSE WE

COUNT ON FOR ASSURING OPEN AND HONEST ELECTIONS

DO NOT TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY, OR WITH 

A SENSE OF DUTY TO PREVENT ELECTION FRAUD. THE 

GROUPS LISTED ABOVE HAVE NOT SHOWN, IN ANY WAY, 

PROCEDURAL CHANGES TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF 

THE 2016 TRAVESTY.


BELOW ARE A FEW ARTICLES THAT EXPLAIN THE RESEARCH I DID.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE 2016 SENATORIAL AND POTUS RESULTS.

HAD ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE ACTUALLY DONE THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY,

AND INVESTIGATED THE BOGUS RESULTS, THE DEMOCRATS WOULD PROBABLY:


-  HAVE WON THE WHITE HOUSE.

-  BECOME THE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE.

-  NOT BE WORRYING ABOUT 3 JUDICIAL

   FASCISTS APPOINTED BY DONALD TRUMP.
