    Changing voting laws is absolutely how the GOP is trying to rig elections. That’s not a mystery or even in doubt. It’s the people that are claiming voting machines were rigged that are preaching the big lie 2.0.

      Changing voting laws is absolutely how the GOP is trying to rig elections.

      Changing laws is, like 1 of 30 different ways the GOP is trying to rig elections.

          • Gerrymandering

          • Fake electors

          • Being suspiciously cozy with the business owners of voting machine companies

          • Voter intimidation by posting ICE/CBP at polls

          • Voter intimidation by stochastic terrorism using their most rabid followers

          • Closing polling places in liberal areas to cause longer lines at the few remaining locations

          • New voter ID laws, including that one that could disenfranchise anyone who has ever changed their name (especially married women and trans people)

          • Trying to make voting by mail illegal

          • Trying to invalidate mail-in votes by any means possible

          • Calling election officials and asking them to “”“find”“” just enough votes to change the outcome

          • Trying to cancel the election entirely due to some “emergency” bullshit (despite the US never having canceled a single election in its entire history, including during the Civil War)

          • Chanting to stop the count when they’re ahead, and chanting to keep counting when they’re behind

          • Filing dozens of (failed) court cases in attempts to overturn election results

          …to name a few.

          Maybe I was being hyperbolic with “30”. Maybe. We’re at 14 now. I bet if you dig deep enough, you can find at least 30 ways the GOP is trying to rig elections.

            • Gerrymandering doesn’t help with national elections like the presidential election

            • Fake electors is legit, but didn’t get used

            • Suspicion isn’t evidence

            • ICE wasn’t at the polls for 2024 that I’m aware of

            I don’t feel the need to continue as your list seems mostly speculative of future elections and not relevant to the 2024 election.

            Edit: I do want to be clear that most of these are very valid concerns for future elections. Just not when discussing Harris losing.

      People like you muddy the waters with your lazy engagement style.

        That’s an overreaction. Not only did I read your comment, I also read through the Wikipedia entry you posted. Hence why I referenced the topic it covered. I don’t know what your problem is, but it’s not with me.

            Then why did my post address the topic you talked about? Again, you seem to have a problem, but it’s not with me.

              Where did I mention the voting machines? You brought that up, not me. My problem is with you and every idiot like you who conflates everything dishonestly like you do.

              I stated an opinion thats not completely baseless and you conflated me with MAGAs big lie. Like fuck you buddy.

              Thats muddying the waters and part of the reason we can’t have nice things. Cuz while some people actually read and listen to others… people like you never stfu.

                So, I’m not allowed to add to the conversation for added clarity? What a ridiculous stance to take.

                I stated an opinion thats not completely baseless and you conflated me with MAGAs big lie.

                But it is mostly baseless. Especially when you just make a blanket, they cheated claim. That’s exactly what MAGA did. Again something is wrong with you and it isn’t me. Good luck with your future endeavors in life.
