Narrative Setting Activated! AP Reminds Us Not Everything Will Run Perfectly on Election Day

 

Sarah D.

By now everybody knows how it works:

--If a Republican wins the presidential election it was because of "Russian disinformation campaigns," possible hacking, etc.

--If a Democrat wins the presidential election, it was the "most secure election in American history" and any questioning of the results is a "grave threat to the very fabric of our democracy."

Shortly before the presidential election in 2016, when Hillary Clinton was convinced she was going to win, that was the lecture she was giving to Donald Trump:

Then after Hillary lost she pivoted to this all while the media didn't say a word:

With just over two weeks to go until this year's election, it's obvious the "just in case" stage is being set, and the Dems know they can always count on the Associated Press to help pave the way:

Elections are "remarkably reliable," unless it looks like Trump's going to win, which will of course stall the process in many areas, causing not everything to run perfectly. I see you, AP.

That's the Left's playbook, each and every time.

That's when they start taping pizza boxes to the windows -- just to maintain privacy, of course.

Here's how the AP story opens:

On Election Day, some voting lines will likely be long and some precincts may run out of ballots. An election office website could go down temporarily and ballot-counting machines will jam. Or people who help run elections might just act like the humans they are, forgetting their key to a local polling place so it has to open later than scheduled. 

These kinds of glitches have occurred throughout the history of U.S. elections. Yet election workers across America have consistently pulled off presidential elections and accurately tallied the results — and there’s no reason to believe this year will be any different.

I've been voting in presidential elections since 1984 and only recently, the 2000 election notwithstanding, did "oh, we might not be able to get things counted until a few days or weeks after the election" start happening. They're even trying to make it sound like a normal part of the process now:

Many years ago we almost always knew who won the election before midnight, and now the delays "really aren't delays"?

If they were trying to make people suspicious about the process, what would they do any different? Then again, these people know they have media outlets like the AP around to do their spinning.
