"You can't do that! We like our election system just the way it is! Changing it is a threat to our precious democracy!"
Posted on 11/04/2022 7:32:59 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Nearly two years after the shambolic 2020 U.S. presidential election, tens of millions of ordinary Americans still suspect the election was rigged—through a combination of Big Tech interference, mail-in ballots lacking signature verification, so-called “ballot harvesting,” and the private takeover of government election operations by nonprofit organizations controlled by partisan Democrats, funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
A Monmouth University poll released in late September 2022 found that fully one-third (32%) of all Americans and 61% of Republicans still believe election interference was the cause of Donald Trump’s defeat—despite 23 months of non-stop and increasingly threatening media propaganda, a ludicrous Congressional show trial of “mostly peaceful” election protesters, and even calls by Democrat politicians to make questioning election results a crime.
According to a 2021 Rasmussen Reports survey, fully 56% of respondents said “it’s likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 41% who said it’s ‘very likely.’”
These are the incalcitrant “election deniers” Joe Biden has denounced as “semi-fascists” and a “threat to democracy”—including nearly 300 candidates for elected office across America.
How can people hold such a ludicrous opinion, especially when every corporate-owned news outlet in America, and dozens of courts and citizen-watch organizations, insist the opposite; namely, that America’s elections have never been more secure and fair?
In a little-noted article in Time Magazine that appeared in February 2021, right after the 2020 election, a coalition of Democrat officials in state election offices, left-wing advocacy groups, Big Tech and media executives, and lawyers admitted boosting Joe Biden’s chances with methods that were effectively untraceable.

Too late to fix it now. The 2022 midterms, like the 2020 elections, are a work in progress that will, one day, when the right ballots are found, elect somebody.
Leftist have made a Frankenstein electoral system, using ad hoc and illegal adjustments (like mass mail in voting), lawfare, and outright propaganda.
OF COURSE average people are right to be suspicious.
You can tell its corrupt, because instead of restoring trust, the only response is to use state-run media to declare people “deniers” and enemies.
That ship has sailed.
RE: That ship has sailed.
You mean we will never have fair elections again?
Over 80% of Americans support voter ID laws, so it’s easy platform to run on and win with.
Not that I necessarily believe every poll but I think this has been consistent over the years.
Simple to fix. Everyone shows up at the polls ON THE SAME DAY and is given only ONE ballot and a pencil. Then they dip their thumb in a bottle of purple ink. “I Voted” stickers are optional.
Libs moved too fast over last 20 years. Multiple paths to fraud in current system.
America needs to revert back 100% to single day in person vote, and slow try again, if needed.
Today’s system is beyond repair in my eyes.
Perhaps the SEC could become the election over-watcher.
Keep it Simple Stupid.
ID Required, Inperson, Paper Ballot, Hand count, then verified machine count. (Maybe even a purple finger)
That’s how far we need to go to start to restore the trust in the voting system.
Our broken system can be fixed
Never vote democrat or for any other socialist Marxist party keep Hollywood and MSM mad.
The most glaring and obvious problem is mail-in ballots. It simply *must* be done away with for at large voting. There is no way to insure a secure chain of custody for millions of mailed ballots.
Overseas USA citizens and verifiably incapacitated USA citizens should be able to request ballots that are uniquely assigned to the requesting party. All mail-in ballots *must* be received before voting day else they are destroyed. Anyone trying to deliver a truckload of ballots after the polls close should be arrested, interrogated harshly and if they survive the interrogation, executed.
In-person early voting is OK but limited to a week or so. Also make ranked choice voting (RCV) illegal.
I personally have no issue with declaring voting day a holiday. Voters would receive a secure ‘I voted’ document to give to their employer so the employee can get paid for the day off. No voting document? You get docked for the day - tuff caca dude.
Not with our present political system.
That ship sailed a long time ago!
...our broken system can be fixed
Not by politicians!
They've installed the system they want, the system they know how to manipulate and know how to operate within and no way in hell will they give that up!!
People gotta learn, it's not R v D, Red v Blue, left v right, it is the political class v citizens!
Got sidetracked before posting my #16.
Happy to see how many feel the same way.
To: OldeconomybuyerThere have been several improvements suggested over the years...Nully's modest proposal to end voter fraud:• Paper ballots
• Purple fingers
• Mandatory free on demand BIOMETRIC (iris scan, nobody ever left their irises at a crime scene!) photo ID, with a database that instantly flags for arrest anyone seeking multiple IDs. Change of name? Simply have your old card voided when you apply for the new one.
• No precinct reports their totals until ALL precincts report they have totals. This prevents the last to report precinct captains from knowing how much to fudge a report to give a win to their preferred candidate while maintaining some slight semblance of credibility.
• Repeal Motor Voter.
• End same-day registration where it exists, and allow ample time between registration and election for vetting of credentials of registrants.
• Instantly deport any non-citizen who registers to vote.
• Put a little ⩍ next to the names of those registered voters with death certificates, and detain and put a 72 hour psychiatric hold anyone claiming to be a dead person...
Nully's modest proposal to end voter fraud:
Mexico has voter ID cards required to vote, and when you vote, they punch a hole in your card to prevent multiple votes in the same election.
I don't know if you get a 10% discount after you've accumulated enough punched holes…
Of course, all this would only apply to Federal elections, for federal offices, as that is the legitimate concern of the federal government.
Let the states who have local authority use whatever system they wish to force the elections of their favorite sons and daughters to alderman, mayor or goobernor. They can do it the cheap way, by just following the federal rules for all voting, or they can have separate ballots for local and federal. Their call. It's a free country, ain't it?
How about just seriously investigate voter fraud and put the bastards in prison? That would go a long way in solidifying trust.
