First it was extreme gerrymandering. Then voter suppression. Now that the election is over, they want to stop counting votes - as long as they are ahead, of course.

If the things they are trying to do were happening in some third world country, the rest of the world would be up in arms about these extreme voting irregularities.

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.

If Republican's had any commonsense at all, they would help the Democrats push for legislation that would make paper ballots mandatory in all states. This is how it's done in other countries, including my home country in Canada and we never have these voting irregularities.

Whatever.

Democrats don't like it when absentee ballots are distributed to members of the military, who vote disproportionately Republican.


Neither side is innocent. Don't pretend otherwise.

1) Both parties have long histories of gerrymandering
2) Give one example of a systemic voter suppression technique employed by Republicans. And, before you spout the same old lame Dem talking points, no, asking for ID prior to allowing someone to vote is not voter suppression.
3) Generally, one stops counting votes at some point after an election. Dems seem to think that if votes get recounted enough times, their candidate will eventually win. I suppose you think votes should be recounted in perpetuity?
4) Fake elections? Drama much? Just because your side lost doesn't mean the election was fake.
5) What voting irregularities? Do you mean Dems busing old folks to polling stations (only those who vote Dem) or counting votes from dead people? Or pre-filling out blank voter registration forms as Democrat prior to distributing them to unregistered voters?

You're grasping at straws. I'm not going to say our elections are perfect, but acting like Republicans have a monopoly on corruption is, well, naive and preposterous. Stop being so blind and wake up.

Absolutely true, and I don't know a single person of any part affiliation who believes otherwise. Do you?

Really, what have Democrats done to stop absentee voting by the military?

There is so many examples of voter suppression by Republicans, that I'll let Wikipedia list it for you.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_..._United_States

Hmmmm...I'm familiar with the term "gaslighting" but this doesn't seem like gaslighting to me. What is your definition of it? I've been seeing it used incorrectly lately.
