> I'm not sure you're being serious. Has you read the following line you would see that I was not. However, I can point a link to Montgomery county election workers filling in the circles on absentee ballots [0]. I unfortunately can't prove it to you, but I saw a confirmation that my friends grandmother's absentee ballot arrived. The only problem is that see has passed away a few years ago. > But that's not what's happening, isn't it? I'm not sure I'm understanding your double negative. I see that the election appears to be for the most part fair and that the questioning of the results are permitted within the legal framework. > who lost the election That is the question. > hallmark of free and democratic elections, to have top military brass feeling the need to address the public to make it clear that they aren't tasked to obey the president, but the constitution? It is it is. The fact the the top military leaders (not sure exactly who you are referring to) are able to freely exclaim that the follow the constitution, not a former president, is the Hallmark of democracy. Can you imagine what would happen if the Soviet milliary leaders demanded that Stalin hold a free election and that if Stalin lost and didn't step down, that he would be removed by force? Those leaders would either be executed or there would be a coup. I don't see any execution or coups goin on in America.

Filling out someone's ballot, for whatever reason, doesn't spark integrity.

> However, I can point a link to Montgomery county election workers filling in the circles on absentee ballots [0]. Is that your smoking gun? I mean, you're pointing to an article about an incident involving one person working on a single county election suspected of being involved in a single incident where he is suspected of violating a single vote? If I'm not mistaken, in Montgomery county, Maryland, the election results show a difference in votes for both candidates that was over a couple of hundred thousand votes. Are we supposed to believe that guy had any impact in the outcome of the county or even state elections? And is Maryland even a contested state? https://elections.maryland.gov/elections/2020/results/General/gen_detail_results_2020_4_BOT001-.html https://elections.maryland.gov/elections/2020/results/Genera... I mean, is that enough in your eyes to throw out all election results from all states and just install an unelected ruler then perhaps democracy wasn't that important to you to begin with. Don't get me wrong, please do investigate the case and push for all the legal consequences. That's what was done to the Trump supported in the viral video who admitted to have been caught committing voter fraud in 2016 in favour of Trump by trying to cast multiple votes. But in spite of the verified case of voter fraud, no one is disputing the 2016 elections and trying to install the losing candidate, right?

  > Is that your smoking gun? It is enough to show that _something_ not right happened. Of course it happened I'm a state that always votes one way, so that one video is not enough to change the results. But it is enough to make me wonder where else it happened. I wonder enough so that if there are more incidents then I would have no problem with an investigation. It's not like the budget of whoever is in charge of that is too high. If we have to build one less tank so that elections can be investigated and bring more integrity, then so be it. > no one is disputing the 2016 elections and trying to install the losing candidate, right? There are no lack of claims on the left that Stacey Abrams lost the election due to something not democratic.
