Can we stop it with this bullshit.
There's no such thing as election integrity in america and there never has been. Everything they say about the previous election is probably true. Everyone involved in elections in the united states is biased, and just like everything in politics, people will resort to dirty tricks, do whatever they have to do and are in it for themselves. It is nothing new.
Everyone arguing for mail in and absentee ballots is doing it because they want to use them to cheat. Everyone arguing for or against anything wants the rules to favor them in some underhanded way, every single rule in very single system was decided to enable some official's preferred method of cheating.
Multiple presidents have stolen elections. Every house seat is gerrymandered to protect the incumbent. Election officials in the south used to throw black votes away. Politicians in the north used to pay poor people to travel around a city or state and vote multiple times 50, 100, 150 years ago. It has always been this way in America.
- chasil 4y agoThe people of the United States are sovereign. As such, we can require transparent and accurate elections if and when we choose. This choice must be exercised by elected representation. No political power in the United States can resist this force, when it gathers. We are sovereign.
- betwixthewires 4y agoIt's never going to gather because nobody wants their cheating methods to become useless. Most of our elected representation got there by cheating. They can resist this political force, by making sure to cheat to prevent honest representation.
