Election Denier elected to replace Nancy Pelosi as House Democrat leader

I think it was Philadelphia that mastered the "misplaced ballot box" that would get found in the trunk of a poll worker that always happened to be stuffed full of ballots for the Democrat candidate with nary a vote for the Republican. Not a single contrarian in the entire precinct.

I saw an article recently that recognized Philadelphia as the King of voter screwups, or something like that....

"Screw ups" implies mistakes.

These are very intentional.

Well, yeah, but I was trying to be at least a tad bit charitable. I'll try to find that article, because it lists a bunch of examples.

Maybe the Presidential election should be a lottery!!!

Instead of numbers on the balls put in an equal number of red and blue balls in and the first side to get four balls wins.

Nah. everyone can just buy a ticket and if your numbers are drawn, you get to be POTUS!

Like I've said before, we have two local towns where they auction off the mayor's hat, and whoever wins gets to be mayor.

In this time of election conspiracy nonsense, it would be best to provide some level of official validation for such events and of the fact they were actually nefarious ....

What like checking ID's and making people vote in person if they can? No way, Jose!!! That would make too much sense.

That's also racist!!!

The 2016 was fair. The problem was that the Russkies influenced the vote. Trump was always and remains Putin’s pal. Many Americans don’t believe or don’t care about that.

The stolen 2020 election rhetoric is not comparable.

CP is wrong again.

As long as you are willing to pay for transportation for those needing it, and to make sure the issues for some with getting proper ID are also mitigated.

The reason these sorts of requirements are pushed back on is that they ALWAYS limit access to the poor and minorities over white middle class. So to increase the security, there need to be sufficient mitigations for those for whom they present a hardship to preclude those requirements biasing the vote..

I believe a number of us have already said yes to that, and a number of jurisdictions already help with that.

Liberal talking point #57,231

It's amazing that liberals think minorities are too stupid to get some form of valid ID, or too poor, or they don't ever go to the grocery store or gas station or anywhere else in public. I don't know of any conservative who would say "they need to have a valid ID, but dalgurn it, we're going to make it as difficult as we can".
