Plus tens of thousands of underage people voted. They were not old enough to vote.


Hundreds of thousands of copied ballots , many ran though the election machines over and over to bring up the count for Biden.



China sent in fake ballots for many states . Some were found by agents but we do not know how many were not found by customs. Virginia and Tennessee were some that were found. Identical to the ballots to that district. Someone had to order them for the main purpose to cheat.
Accusations, innuendo and I have a dream there has been no legitimate evidence that a court is willing to accept. Stop believing Trump he lies, if fraud on the scale you perceive occurred there would be hard, physical evidence; there's not.

I would like to see him charged with treason, and if found guilty, executed as the law requires.

Enough of these sore losers trying to break up our beloved country. We didn't put up with it when Benedict Arnold did it, and we shouldn't put up with it when Allen West does it.

This kind of behavior is more threatening to the United States of America than anything Hussain or Bin Laden did.

If you try to disregard my vote in the state of Georgia and take you're pick of the seat of government, you are committing treason against the process we pick a government for, of, and by the people.


It is time to Stop the Fascist Republican's Act of Treason!
" you are committing treason". Thank you for your VERY BIASED OPINION!


Just for kicks, if you believe wanting to leave something you voluntarily joined is "treason", why weren't ANY ONE who supported the Confederacy charge with treason?

"trea·son

/ˈtrēzən/


noun
noun: treason; noun: high treason; plural noun: high treasons

The crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government."

"trea·son

treason definition

Do you see ANY ATTEMPT to "especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government."?

If the founders intended for secession to be forbidden, they would have said as such in the Constitution.

But as my post above says, I think a constitutional convention should be called for by the states to address the division.
Once again, it doesn't matter if secession is specified as being against the law, there is no viable way to make your state recognized. If it were easy then I would definitely advocate for splitting it up California in to 10 or 12 new states, each with two democratic senators
