The simple answer is mental rigidity or atrophy...maybe a mix of both.

I don't think I have either. I didn't vote a straight ticket in this election either. I don't blindly buy into "team red" or "team blue," I think for myself and vote for the person who I think is best.

I have never in my life voted a straight party ticket.

Until this year.

In 2 of the 4 states (Nevada, AZ, GA & PA) there were no senate races, in the other two only AZ show a winner because he has a clear lead. The numbers reflected in these races match the Presidential votes so where is something amiss?

OF COURSE they cheated. It's apparent. They had all these red votes and the they just 'find' blue votes in the big DEMOCRAT cities....

1. The dems identified people who were registered at polling places, but did not vote. That is why they needed to wait until 4 am- they had to make sure those people did not vote. Then they took the names of everyone who did not vote and had them "vote" for Biden, dumping the ballots "late" at the polling places.

2. They had a list of dead people to use if the above was not enough (Trump must have really been killing Biden from actual live voters). A poll worker who was kicked out has a screen shot on the net of 7 consecutive "Biden voters", all of whom were born in 1900!!!!!


This is simply a coup. If this is not contested and only actual votes are counted, this is the end of the republic, as in EVERY election going forward, each side will prepare the required number of fake ballots to win. There would be a time in which there would be 4-5X the number of votes cast relative to the population.

Every election going forward would simply be decided by the party who had the best lawyers and control of the Supreme Court. Your vote, as a citizen, would be meaningless.
Did they drug all the Republicans in the room while they were doing this?

Seems to be about 70% straight ticket voters is the norm. So 30% vote across party lines.

But I find it odd that someone would vote across party lines for a Senator. I could see it for the local races, but not the Senate.

Amazing that of all of Trump legal team's desperate Hail Marys they just haven't thought to produce your alleged poll worked to prove this coordinated attempt at cheating the vote.

Should be a slam dunk right? Nope. Because making things up on social media is one thing, actually testifying under oath is another, and that's where BS like this withers. Just like that poll worker in Georgia, when Trump lawyers dragged him into court and it was time to raise that hand knowing the consequences suddenly yeah it wasn't that I actually saw this for sure your honor.
