They are going to do it again too, and any state with a Rethug in charge of voting will make damn sure they do.

I've thought that since the 'votes' were tallied weeks later. Same with our scuzzy Governor. Both races were 'too close to call' before Election Day. Seemed awfully convenient when both Republikkkans 'won'.

Republicans Have a Secret Weapon in the Midterms: Voter Suppression
After losing in 2012, the GOP enacted the harshest limits on voting since Jim Crow. It could make the difference this year from Florida to North Dakota.

Not a Nelson fan. As a Florida resident I’ve often asked him to be stronger as a dem. He and his wife molly coddled the Bush bunch.

Still and all I hated to lose a dem seat in Florida.

That's a very accurate statement because no machines are ever independently audited. How the hell do you know if the machines were pre-programmed to flip votes if you never check.

Ever since we got machines in Pa. I have asked for a paper receipt and have never gotten one. I vote into a black hole. Our Democratic governor is planning on installing new voting machines but the Republican controlled government has passed a bill trying to delay the new machines until after the election.

It's been documented many times, and prove statistically beyond the shadow of a doubt, when there is a shift away from what the polling data suggest, the overwhelming overwhelming majority of the time it's in the red Direction. Just look it up online through statistics and proof. Statistics is not a voodoo science, it's very concise, and if they say it's not right it's not right!

America used to monitor elections in banana republics. One of the tools we used to determine fair elections was exit polling. Exit polling was a very reliable indicator of a fair election. Only after the advent of voting machines have we seen the narrative that exit polling is not reliable. Bull shit. When exit polling varies from the actual results you damn well better believe that the machines flipped votes.

If the votes were counted correctly. The gop is slow rolling and dragging their feet bc theyknow this next election will lock them in for good.
As an aside, how can trump really be in such disagreement w China when his daughter has so many new patents allowed there? Including one for VOTING MACHINES? I think it's all theatre decided in these private meetings the American people shuttle trump and co. around to. jmho.
