Democrats need a huge shellacking so they can reform their party. They need to dump the “justice” wing of their party because they’re incompetent and have no idea how a functioning government is supposed to work. Once the democrats get them out then they can be a viable option again.

"due to favorable maps"

You should check some of the maps in places that DEMS control.

How do you think the dems controlled the House for 40 straight YEARS?

My county was split 4 ways into majority dem areas so our votes meant NOTHING!

Here's the partial quote...

“I get to appoint the secretary of the state, who’s delegated to…making corrections to elections, the voting logs & everything. I could decertify every machine in the state with a stroke of a pen…”

Nothing about "if he doesn`t like the outcome of an election" in the partial quote or the recording which must mean that you made that part up.

But while we're on the subject, do you not know the states are charged with conducting and certifying their own elections?

Maybe it's just me, but it seems Democrats are preemptively villainizing the questioning of election results and there can only be one reason for that, they plan to cheat.

I'm fully aware that both parties practice gerrymandering, but the last couple decades it has worked greatly to the benefit of Republicans in far more states than Democrats. Heavily biased maps are not ideal in your location any more so than in Wisconsin today.

How many Democrats were arrested for trying to install a person as president who clearly lost an election? Were they beating up cops and smearing feces on the wall of our Capitol? Your deflection is really lame.

I villainize the questioning of election results because a lie about an election being stolen led to a violent insurrection on J6. After the election, when Trump`s indictment for that event comes, we`ll see the crazies rioting again.

^^^This is the true 'Big Lie.' You bought in. We get it.

Turns out people get angry when they learn their votes were rendered meaningless. Have a gander at Brazil for a refresher course in this.

"but the last couple decades it has worked greatly to the benefit of Republicans. And?

Didn't the dems create them in the 1st place to favor themselves?

40 straight years the dems did and NO ONE on the left complained.

Please post ALL your posts complaining when the dem did it and STILL do so today.

They only way the repubs could get to do it was to take control from the dems at the voting booths.

But NOW?????? Oh the horror!

It's funny how so many on the left want to go back to the civil war and complain but a few decades is off limits.

Awkward admission. How would voting machines change voting outcomes if they weren’t rigging it?

Insurrectionists? That’s a lot of Dems off the ballot.
