Alan Jones: US election has many issues to resolve before battle is over
The US election result is legally supposed to be finalised on December 14 but there are so many reported irregularities to look into before then, writes Alan Jones.

Don't miss out on the headlines from Opinion. Followed categories will be added to My News.
Is it “diplomacy” that has led international leaders from around the world, including our own, to endorse the “seeming” victory of Joe Biden in the American presidential election?
I say “seeming”, because it would appear to me this battle has some distance to go before it will be played out.
Joe Biden can barely open his mouth without giving the appearance that the miracle is that he’s actually standing up.
Are world leaders seriously endorsing this man to be the next leader of the free world? And are we entering the next phase?
Nothing negative about Biden to be said or reported.
We are not supposed to discuss the scandals associated with Joe Biden’s son; the allegations that his son consulted his father about a planned Chinese oil venture, corroborated by a partner in the deal.
Joe Biden has said he never discussed any of the international business activities of his son.
But the New York Post has revealed details of the son’s business deals in China after his father introduced him to senior Communist Party officials.
And the son flew with Vice-President Biden to China on Air Force 2 in December 2013 for an 8-day visit with senior Communist Party officials.
Then there is the widely publicised business about Ukraine.
The son, who doesn’t speak Ukrainian, who knows nothing about energy, who was thrown out of the army with a drug problem, gets $50,000 a month with a Ukrainian company which is being investigated for corruption.
The father visits the Ukraine and the next thing we know, the Ukrainian Prosecutor is gone.
None of these issues is raised by the media with Biden. He doesn’t have to worry about denying or answering.
He’s being protected by the media, mainstream and social, and the big tech giants.
Apparently, the world welcomes the fact that the “divisive” Donald Trump may well be about to depart the scene.
Right from Trump’s inauguration, Democrats refused to turn up, except for the Clintons and the Obamas.
Is that when Trump divided America?
19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the impeachment campaign had started.
Was that when Trump divided America?
Remember when the Democrat leader, Nancy Pelosi, ripped up Trump’s State of the Union address in front of the world, showing total disrespect for the President of the United States.
Did that unify America?
And wasn’t it the dedicated Democrat, Madonna, who, days after the Trump inauguration, told a Washington D.C. protest that she had “thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House”.
And now, the vote!
The New York Post has run a story about a ballot harvesting racket in Minneapolis district, represented by the Democrat, Ilhan Omar.
It is all on video.
Paid Democrat workers gathering absentee ballots from the elderly and Somali immigrants, all associated with this Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
But this is not worthy of discussion, apparently.
Given that Michigan is a State in contention, do we ignore the Michigan Republican Chairman, Laura Cox, who spoke on Friday about “a software glitch” in Antrim County that took about 6,000 votes from President Trump and the GOP Senate candidate, John James, causing the normally red County to show a majority vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat Senator Gary Peters.
Cox said the same vote tabulating software is used in 47 counties in Michigan and called on those counties to examine their vote counts.
One technology guru commented, “I have been developing software since the 1980s. No way this was a “glitch.” It was a deliberate “feature”. I will stake my reputation on it”.
What are we to make of Wisconsin?
The Wisconsin Statute 6.86 provides that an absentee ballot must be signed by a witness who is also required to list his or her address.
If a witness address is not listed, then the ballot is considered invalid.
But on October 19, the Wisconsin Electoral Commission sent instructions to clerks that they can simply fill in the witness address themselves so that the ballot would not be invalidated.
As the retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, Michael Gableman has said, “In defiance of, and direct contradiction to the Statute, the Wisconsin Elections Commission gave guidance, that is cover, to all 72 County Clerks and turned the Statute on its head….they said, gee, we know the law says an absentee ballot without the witness address is not valid, but, County Clerk, you have a duty to go ahead and look up on your own the witness address if there is no address on the absentee ballot”.
Dick Morris was an adviser to Bill Clinton during his time as the Governor of Arkansas.
When Clinton was the President in 1992, Dick Morris became an adviser to the White House.
Says Dick Morris, “The whole point of the early polls, the whole point of paper ballots, the whole point of the delay in the counting was to establish the concept that Biden had won…”
“This is all a set-up. The Democratic Party planned for this. They knew they were likely to lose this election so the first thing they did was to fake the polls that talked about how they were going to win……and that was to set up the presumption that Biden was going to win so that when he won, based on fraud, (Morris’s word), everyone would say, “Yeah, he was winning anyway”.”
He went on, “Then, as results came in on election night, the Democrats constantly held up the count – in many jurisdictions the count was not completed and was left hanging in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin….then they came in with their mail-in ballots, dumped them all of a sudden, barred the Republicans from looking at them and then announced that Biden had won.”
Morris concluded, “And the complicitous news media called these States for Biden; that creates a sort of presumption that Biden has won those States and then Trump is in the position of trying to overturn that verdict”.
Is it any wonder Donald Trump is challenging the election result in the courts?
The Republican Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell has said the President is fully within his rights to ensure the election was fair and free of fraud and argued, “Let’s not have any lectures, no lectures about how the President should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election.”
Well it’s December 14 when the electors from each State meet and cast their ballots for President, under the Constitution.
I think this race has many miles yet to be run before December 14.
