MODERATORS
Next up: Republican politician complains about the cost efficiency of government.
its so rediculous how obvious they are and yet people still vote for this party or refuse to vote for the competition. Its not enough for them to lose at this point. they have to lose big and consistantly. I understand there are issues with our system but we have to at least retain the democracy we have while we get these folks out of the system entirely.
They are voting for their (confederate) heritage
The key detail is the seal on the ballot boxes - normally kept intact in case there needs to be a recount - will be broken immediately.
Post-poll ballot stuffing anyone? Well it just got a shit-ton easier. Thanks republiQan fuckwits!
I'm sure that local elections and ballot measures will be given the same level of scrutiny as the votes for federal elections.
State senate, state Supreme Court, various judges, school boards, etc. They'll all be treated fairly and closely monitored and verified for accuracy.
They are trying to set up another gore v. Bush Florida situation, where the election is ultimately decided but the corrupt Supreme court
Roberys was on the Bush legal team for Bush vs. Gore and refused answer questions about the ruling during his confirmation hearings. In fact, three of the justices on the Supreme Court are Bush Vs Gore alumni, all for the Bush leagl team.
now they are trump alumni.
I wasn't as clear as i wanted to be. Roberts refused to answer questions on the ruling because he believed a similar ruling would occur soon. He was put on the Supreme Court for this exact reason.
Yea, the coup has been happening since much longer the. Jan. 6th
This from the people who's candidate argued that the election had to be decided on election night?
I would expect that is the point. Delay the result, then complain about the result taking forever and use that line of „reasoning“ to let the state government send electors.
The party of fiscal responsibility really showing up!
We could have a machine count that is faster, cheaper, AND more accurate.... but let's spend millions of dollars to pay a whole bunch of people to slowly count millions of votes, some of whom might have political motivations to not be 100% accurate or who are, you know, humans who constantly make small mistakes when doing repetitive tasks.
This is going to take a long time and plenty of time for MAGA people to screw it up.
Donald Trump: It took 12 days to count in Metro Atlanta by a bunch of Trump hating liberals. Rigged!!!!!!
More like "Atlanta took too long to count its votes so they all need to be thrown out."
leave it to conservatives to force a solution to a problem that doesnt exist... creating a whole new set of problems. SOP
You are mistaken. The problem is that ballot stuffing in the US is hard. This solves that problem.
It's not just that ballot stuffing would be easier, but also that any kind of complications can lead to delays and court cases which might go to the supreme court, which has a history of deciding who the president will be. In other words, there are multiple advantages to the shady f*** heads.
Then blame the left for the fallout from it all.
Georgia has almost 7.6 million eligible voters Source
So Georgia is gonna hand count. Riiight. 🙄
The quote you chose from that source is a bit misleading. 7.6 million voting eligible people in Georgia. Still an insane amount of votes to count.
My bad. Thanks for the correction.
There are 7.6 million voters in Georgia. I think your copy paste got messed up somehow
Yeah. I screwed up. Fixed now.
Gonna hand count trumps loss twice
