29. Election cheating and vote manipulation by Republicans at the local level.

Tue Mar 19, 2024, 11:30 AM

Mar 19

All they have to do is manipulate the vote count is some key districts in swing states enough to get the Electoral College majority. The Republican elections officials in Arizona come to mind, especially in Maricopa County, as they have refused to recognize the legitimacy of any election a Democrat wins. Republicans broke into the offices of Coffey County, fortunately after the 2020 election, in the dead of night and copied all the voting records and perhaps more importantly the Dominion voting machine software. I’m sure those copies were then shared to other states with Dominion machines. What is to stop Republicans from sneaking into local offices after the machines have been tested and certified ready for the votes and modifying them to overcount Republican votes and undercount Democratic votes. Supposedly machines are sealed. Who will identify that they have been tampered with if Republicans are in charge? Sorry for being paranoid, but I think we trust Republicans far too much to do the right thing.
