That is election fraud people. And we all know who it is that is perpetrating this crime against our nation, our constitution and the American people.

Based on WHAT?

Your say-so?

A link to "page not found"?

Sounds like BS to me.

My oh my! You have a vivid imagination.

Get a grip.

Nobody harassed anyone. The Trump supporters were the required distance away from the entrance. When some voters in line got triggered by that, the FPD asked the Trump supporters to move even further away, which they did.

Too bad if there were those who were frightened by hearing "pro-Trump slogans". Maybe if such things frighten them, then they should never leave their house and vote by mail.

So, it's very clear that you only looked at the first post. The second post had a corrected link.

You look very foolish when you don't bother to look past the first post.,

The total number of walk in votes should not be released until ALL of the mail in votes are counted. Who cares if it takes a couple of weeks at least we will know that votes wont be lost and show up later....

What actually happened

Republicans sued to make sure ballots not in the inner “privacy envolope” get discarded

Military ballots which come in very early got mistaken for applications, they opened the outer envelope and since the ballot wasn’t in the inner envolope it was spoiled

Spoiled ballots get tossed

Republicans cry fraud because the election officials are following their rules.

I'll buy that.

And the date of this counting and release, including mail-in votes, is ELECTION DAY. The date that's been advertised for months, if not years. That's the day we all VOTE. This fall, it's Nov. 3, 2020. Your vote (and mine) must be present at the official counting office (Registrar of voters, or City Hall, or whatever place your state or county officially counts votes) by the official Closing of the Polls that day.

If your vote isn't in that office by then, that's too bad. If you had gone to that office (or any legit, official polling place), it is absolutely certain your vote would be in the office by the right time. If you had relied on an unreliable system such as the mail, I'd have mailed it weeks in advance, sending it by Registered Mail with Return Receipt Requested. And I have made sure there was PLENTY enough time for it to get there by ELECTION DAY. That's a hassle, I know.

So do yourself a favor and go to the polls or City Hall on ELECTION DAY. Most states also let you designate a person (spouse, sibling, of-age adult child, trusted friend etc.) to bring in your ballot, I bring my wife's in every election, along with my own. You sign, the trusted friend signs, and security is maintained so that fanatic Democrats can't intercept it and alter or dispose of it.

We "know" nothing of the kind. People are already finding ballots in groups ranging from seven to a thousand, in ditches, dumpsters, you name it. And the real mass voting hasn't even begun. And NONE of these "stray" ballots belong to the people who used any of the tried-and-true methods I described above.

Why is it a problem now? Has something gone wrong, or fraud uncovered?
You are only TOLD it is a problem. So that's what you believe and even promote, even though no real problems have been uncovered.
And now you are being TOLD that the election will be tossed one way or the other by some magical force that has not caused a problem up to this point. So you believe it. All of it. And you have been told who to blame, too.


Are there really any problems?

No one cares about the truth. They also fail to mention that these ballots were for the Republican PRIMARY so of course they were mostly (not all) for Trump.
