FYI - while I understand the short term instability issues the challenges to the election process is doing, imho it is a great service to the nation to put the election system under review to help correct issues and make for a more reliable and robust system in the future.
True....but personally I'm very concerned about dead people voting.....for either party! :highfive:

As President Trump’s claims of election cheating fall apart in court filings, he is taking his followers down a path of increasingly unhinged conspiracies about millions of votes being altered by mysterious forces manipulating computer systems and voting machines.

“That really is, really, I think, the Island of the Misfit Toys at that point. You have crossed the Rubicon, you jumped on the crazy train and you’re headed into the cliffs that guard the flat earth at that time, brother,” said Rep. Denver Riggleman, a Republican congressman from Virginia, in an interview.

No speaking for myself, but I understand a lot of people feel this way. The dems sometimes reap what they sow, as with invoking the nuclear option for judge confirmation, and rgb not retiring when she should have.
Oh, yeah...gotta brush up my remembrance of the lyrics to Kumbaya.......NOT!

you guys will believe anything :)

President Donald Trump falsely claimed on Twitter that an election technology firm “deleted” large numbers of his votes or “switched” them to count for Joe Biden — the latest in a series of baseless theories suggesting vote counting problems that the president has been promoting.

His tweet Thursday amplified a “report” built on empty claims that originated in anonymous comments on a pro-Trump blog.

Trump and his supporters have launched groundless attacks on one of the most widely used technology firms in the U.S., Dominion Voting Systems, seeking to sow doubt in the results of the 2020 election, despite no evidence of any serious irregularities.


Here’s a look at the claims in Trump’s tweet:

TRUMP: “REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.”

THE FACTS: There’s no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, or of major problems with Dominion’s systems. Election officials from both political parties have stated publicly that the election went well, and international observers confirmed there were no serious irregularities.

Dominion Voting Systems said in a statement that it “denies claims about any vote switching or alleged software issues with our voting systems.”

There have been only a “small handful” of issues that were the result of human error involving voting technology, not the software itself, said Eddie Perez, a voting technology expert at the OSET Institute, a nonpartisan election technology research and development nonprofit.

The OSET Institute has helped monitor more than 1,000 reports of voting issues throughout the U.S. since Election Day.

Perez said he was not aware of any systemic issue related to problems with Dominion software that would affect the tabulation of results.

Technical issues during voting this year occurred at a lower rate than in most elections because “election procedures (were) followed more scrupulously than usual,” said University of Iowa professor Doug Jones, co-author of “Broken Ballots,” a voting technology history.

There is also “no factual basis” for Trump’s claims that 221,000 votes were switched from Biden to Trump in Pennsylvania, Ellen Lyon, spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of State, said in an email.

The “report” Trump mentions in his tweet was aired on the conservative television network One America News Network, which promoted a theory posted to a pro-Trump blog that claimed that millions of votes were switched or deleted in Biden’s favor. The TV network did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yes... however, do note that the Democrats and MSM did basically the same sort of game on Biden's laptop... both sides playing the game to to win votes at the expense of the cohesiveness of the USA.

If Joe Biden really wanted to "let's all work together" he'd pull back the leash on the extreme left... and compromise on things like anti-2A, anti-constitutional policies .. but he's not going to do that....

Unauthorized Dem officials in dem-run states changing the rules to benefit the dems and sending out as many mail-in ballots as they could and keeping poll watchers from observing the count and finding votes by the thousands for Biden after shutting down the count mid-count sowed the doubt. Trump is just trying to make the public aware of the dems' deceit and their long tradition of fixing elections.

The choice is socialism/marxism/domestic terrorism vs capitalism/law and order. It's worth the fight.
