I think she was just trying to put some fear in Democrats she knows risking a serious felony will land herself in prison.

All these fears about cheating, I don't know how your locality does it but for us the verified voter is handed a ballot, goes to a station and colors in the bubbles for their candidate choices. Once they are sure that they got who they want the voter walks over to the scanner and places it in the machine face down to scan which retains the ballot all while a poll worker sits there and hands you a I Voted sticker.

Thats it, where are all these poll workers doing anything that affects my selections from being properly counted....

Knowing the rules of the game are helpful when one decides to get into a contest with the umpire. Many who saw irregularities didn't understand what they were seeing. Some just made stuff up.

The counties I have lived in have historically invited a representative from each person on the ballot and from each party to be present when the votes are counted. They even give a tutorial on the process.

Some counties did make last minute changes to voting due to Covid. Did that mean they were crooks intending to cheat? My county sure paid for it because the state took over. Now the county can appoint the person to run the election, with approval from the state. And the new person asks the state to bless everything they do. That's fine by me.

AFA counting ballots received after election day. It is common practice to allow mail in ballots post marked on election day to be counted. In the Bush/Gore brouhaha the argument was counting military ballots from out of the country, mailed in military facilities, post marked days after the election.

Oh please. Don't even dare suggest some "plan" to change the outcome after that sh.. show the Dems pulled in 2019.

Most of you all went to bed, but many of us stayed up, and watched as Trump's good lead changed into Biden leading, out of nowhere - suitcases hidden under a table clothed table, same batch of ballots being run through multiple times, and numbers on the tv screen flip flopping. Trump would have, say 5632 and Biden would have 2859, but a moment later, suddenly Biden had the 5632, and Trump would have the 2859, with ZERO explanation from anyone at that media channel. Videos of poll watchers being pushed out and workers blocking windows with cardboard, and anything else they could find. False claims of a water leak that required everyone, except those shoving ballots into the machine, to evacuate, the footage of people stuffing the "mail in" ballots boxes all over the country...

Spare me your suspicions.

That's an easy way to make a living. True the Vote has never uncovered voting irregularities. The donations are great.

She endorsed a candidate for Ft Bend county judge or commissioner who admitted to voting simultaneous in 2 states in several elections. SO did his wife. Nothing happened to him. Meanwhile a person on parole in Tarrant county was told by her probation officer and the county clerk she could vote got 8 years in jail. The candidate said he thought he could vote in 2 states since he owned and homesteaded houses in 2 states. She never rescinded her endorsement

They were run by Democrats. GD, does no one on the left even try to listen to the evidence given, or do they just clap like seals and bray like donkeys when the propaganda machine confirm their own bias?

The claims by Rudy and all those other lawyers apologized for their behavior, one reason I hope the GA trial goes forward soon so we can see the lies in full view.

You are saying Trump hired democrats to find voting irregularities?

Ask Ken Block and the Berkeley Research Group. Both hired by Donald Trump. Neither could find no voting irregularities.
