When will the GOP stop trying to steal elections?

They will never stop trying.

But it's clear that people are not going to take it anymore. The era of fake elections in the US is over, and the changes that are starting now will carry through for 2020.

Every eligible citizen needs to be allowed to vote. Every registered voter needs to have their vote be counted. Anyone who disagrees with that doesn't deserve to live in the US because that is a fundamental principal here.
You're projecting.... again. Accusing the GOP of doing what the DNC is actually doing. BTW, you aren't fooling anyone anymore..

I have to disagree, saltine. I think they actually are that stupid.

I'm guessing you're angry the GOp is trying to steal the election back from the dems who stole it first?

Hmmmm. There's the actual definition, and then there's the definition as it applies to politics. Both are correct, you probably do know both, and I would wager that what you've seen or read has not been used incorrectly.

Attempting to make someone question their sanity is the short of it (but then you knew that). But in the political mud slinging that never ends, we see a lot of one party use their own corrupt practices and then accuse the other party of that explicit act. Over and over again. Perhaps, semantically speaking, you might not consider that gaslighting, but it most definitely is exactly that.

The DEM tactic accusing GOP of all the garbage THEY are doing.....it's wearing thin.....but apparently the faithful are blind to it....

The more I read this thread, it almost is akin to a false flag narrative in that Democrats are notorious for trying to "steal elections".
Thus they project upon Republicans what they themselves have historically done.

Clearly what is going on in FL in a Democratic controlled county is fraudulent by any stretch of the imagination based on whom they keep electing to run the elections department.
Ask yourself this.
If the person running for reelection in this country had a reputation for doing EXACTLY what Mrs. Snipes has done in previous elections, BUT it was in favor for Republicans, what is the likelihood that she would have been reelected for over a decade in a hardcore Democratic district?
The answer is obvious from a (D) perspective.

Yet rest assured if she was in a (R) district but had been proved to be violating election laws if favor of the (R's), she'd have already been given her walking papers!
Why might you ask?

Simple, because by and large Republicans are the law & order party, and they do not want illegal activity, regardless of whom it favors.
I (who leans right) would be just as adamant to have her jailed (even if she favored Republicans) for violating one of our mist sacred tenants of freedom, by gerrymandering the vote trying to help my team.
There is no place for such things in our constitutional republic.

It isn't absentee voting by the military, it's counting the votes that Democrats have attempted to stop.

Again, when has this happened? What TYPICALLY happens is that the votes are not as close as they have been in the AZ Senate race, the AZ Superintendent of Public Instruction, the AZ Secretary of State, the FL Senate race and the FL Gubnatorial race. Most races can be called within hours of vote tallies being announced if not immediately after the first tallies are released. This also includes early ballots already counted. Most times we do not have to wait for the early ballots to all be counted for an election to be called. This time, many had it happen/

The same can be said about GOP in regards to the Dems and their "dirty politics" too. Let's keep it fair and balanced here. Both parties do this.
