“Let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote, If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote.” “That’s the way it is, And that’s what they should do.” Donald Trump encouraging people to vote twice


Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina asked the Georgia Secretary of State about tossing ballots.


In North Carolina, Republican lawmakers have spent the past decade pushing for measures that make it harder for black voters to vote.

Republican Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick offered up to $1 million for evidence of voter fraud. Pennsylvania Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman offered up three cases of voter fraud where dead people voted for Trump. Patrick’s reply was ‘Get real’.

"Tip of the iceberg" is real and there is the start.
Republicans supported investigating the ballot harvesting in North Carolina and then voted to throw out the election.

Democrats fight any attempts to investigate election fraud.

That tells you all you need to know.

....
You have been misinformed.

The investigation of the Republican ballot harvesting scam came from Democrats, not Republicans.

I live in North Carolina, and remember what Republicans were saying at the time.

From gerrymandering to suppress Democratic votes, closing polling stations in Democratic voting areas, purging voting rules of likely Democratic voters, ... to this years repeated attempts to throw out votes from Democratic areas, Republicans I have been all about suppressing the vote.

Several Republicans have made it clear that if everyone voted, Republicans lose.

Especially in Georgia. But in many other places as well.

Republicans have been engaging in this craft everywhere they have been allowed to get away with it. This is why red states can be so stubbornly red.

Voter participation wilts when people think their vote doesn't count. Some people disengage for decades. If they thought they would be successful, many people would stand in line for hours to throw the bums out, but experience has taught the people that it doesn't matter, the Republicans still win in those areas.

This is the great nightmare of Republican politicians and analysts. A Great Awakening of the voters could kill off the party in some traditionally Republican states.

Trump did recently complain (about legislation proposals): “They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."

And Rand Paul of Kentucky also said: “I’m very, very concerned that if you solicit votes from typically non-voters, that you will affect and change the outcome, so I’m very worried that the Democrats will control all three branches of government.”

They should be concerned ... they all know. They know the Truth about how Americans really feel about the Republican Party and it's policies.

Let’s not forget that she lost to the guy who purged hundreds of thousands of voters during their campaign.

Coincidence?
Not.

“State officials claimed that people removed from the voter rolls for inactivity had likely died or moved away. But an APM Reports investigation found tens of thousands who hadn't — and still wanted to vote.”

Hence all of the BS about mail-in voting.

We all remember this from March of this year:

“ Donald Trump admitted on Monday that making it easier to vote in America would hurt the Republican party.
...
“The things they had in there were crazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,” Trump said during an appearance on Fox & Friends. “

So let's do it. Let's audit every single vote in every single state. Get those Rs and make sure that "no one is above the law." (N. Pelosi).

Sound good? If not, why not?

Just wanted to make sure that you're aware that you actually wrote that.

Now take that concept and apply it to 70,000,000+ people who know that this election was stolen.

I guess they don't matter, though, right? You don't actually care if THEY feel disenfranchised, now do you?

Naw, by hook or by crook, your guy won, and that's the ONLY thing you care about. You couldn't give a single rat's ass about what anybody else wants, needs or thinks.

And THAT is what's wrong with the Left.
