McClatchy's data comes from a federal lawsuit filed against the state. In addition to the problem in Habersham County's Mud Creek precinct, where it appeared that 276 registered voters managed to cast 670 ballots, the piece describes numerous other issues with both voter registration and electronic voting machines. (In fact it was later corrected to show 3,704 registered voters in the precinct.)
Mud Creek voting precinct is one of fourteen voting precincts of Habersham County, Georgia. You can check the location and area of Mud Creek precinct here. That page doesn't list the population data but this page shows population of each blocks in Habersham County. According to that data Mud Creek precinct (comprising three bottom left blocks) has a population of 5,864, so 3,704 registered voters sounds about right. I think this statement from Habersham County Election Supervisor is exactly what happened.
We learned today that an error was made in the reporting of the number of registered voters in the Mud Creek precinct during the May 22, 2018 General Primary Election. This typo, showing the incorrect number of registered voters, did not affect the vote count. The vote count was correct, and the percentage of voter turnout was also correct. This typographical error had no impact on the results of the election.
iQIYI, one of the online platforms carrying the show, said that simultaneous views of the Gala reached a record 14 million, surpassing the company's previous record set during the 2014 soccer World Cup.
Wasn't their test site already "dismantled" by a massive tunnel collapse?
No, North Korea's Nuclear Test Site Wasn't Destroyed in an Earthquake
"The reporting has been mostly hot garbage," Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, tweeted after reviewing satellite imagery of the 7,200-foot Mount Mantap, where North Korea's Punggye-ri test site is located.
Election and IDs?
That's voter suppression!
Disenfranchisement!!
Racist!!!
NAZIS!!!
Because getting rid of all the weapons of mass destruction or WMD's as Bush liked to call them worked out well for Iraq, they complied fully with international demands, which the US knew full well but went ahead and made up some crap about WMD and invaded them, not to steal the oil but to bring this belligerent nation to heel.
Yes Iraq did complied fully with international demands, except when they kind a didn't for these UN resolutions:
United Nations Security Council Resolution 660
United Nations Security Council Resolution 661
United Nations Security Council Resolution 678
United Nations Security Council Resolution 686
United Nations Security Council Resolution 687
United Nations Security Council Resolution 688
United Nations Security Council Resolution 707
United Nations Security Council Resolution 715
United Nations Security Council Resolution 949
United Nations Security Council Resolution 986
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1051
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1060
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1115

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1154
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1194

This was not a "false missile alarm" or any kind of fault in J-Alert system. This was news organization (NHK) mistakenly publishing a pre-written news piece, kinda like when premature obituaries occur. That is not to say there hasn't been a mistake in J-Alert testing producing a false missile alarm. In fact it has happened several times already:
4/19/2017 in Osaki, Miyagi. False missile warning broadcasted over loud speakers while testing of J-Alert system. Correction issued after 6 minutes.
9/8/2017 in Yokkaichi, Mie. False missile warning sent over radio while testing of J-Alert system. Correction issued after 10 minutes.
9/14/2017 in Minamisoma, Fukushima. False missile warning distributed over email while testing of J-Alert system. Correction issued after 7 minutes.
But this time it was not a mistake in J-Alert system, so all the conspiracy theorist can shove it.
Well, there was that one about threatening to nuke North Korea... Does that count? https://www.vanityfair.com/new...
Yeah, I also remember Trump threatening Iran with "massive retaliation" if they attacked Israel and later clarified Iran's aggression against Israel "would provoke a nuclear response from the United States". Hate speech!
And what about that time Trump threatened to "erase North Korea from the map of the world"? So much hate speech!
Oh, wait...
Wrong. Samsung is more profitable than Apple, even if they don't make a $400 profit per phone.
From Yonhap News dated 2017/06/04:
According to the data compiled by Strategy Analytics, Samsung Electronics took up 12.9 percent of the combined operating profit posted by global players by posting US$1.57 billion in earnings over the January-March period, down 21.9 percent from a year earlier.
Samsung's archrival Apple Inc., on the other hand, posted an operating profit of $10.1 billion over the cited period, accounting for a whopping 83.4 percent of the global industry, a gain from 79.8 percent posted last year.
Japan does not have the same cultural baggage about this you'd find in the west. There's no huge population that had the whole Bible and "Mark of the Beast" drummed into their heads. There's no conspiracy theorists. No persecution of Jews - even though they were an ally of Nazi Germany.
Japan has conspiracy theorists as much as America has if not more. Here is a poll from 2014 asking Japanese whether there is a conspiracy of shadowy organization controlling the world in secret, and 60% answered yes. As for Japanese positive attitude toward Jews during WWII, that was a result of Jews bankrolling Japan during Russo-Japanese War. Jews hated Russia for anti-Jewish pogroms and helped Japan and in turn Japan helped Jews during WWII. Of course that was then, now there is a rampant conspiracy theory that Japan was tricked into fighting Russia by evil Jews. Nowadays Russo-Japanese war is usually held up as the proof of how Jews controls the world by first causing a war and then deciding its victor.
