It's Obvious Now: America's Voting System Is Rigged
The machines went down! The tabulators failed! The paper ran out! The printer settings were wrong!
Emerald Robinson
Nov 9

Welcome to the Banana Republic of Biden — where the voting machines break down and the tabulators fail and the paper runs out on Election Day!

The rigging was so bad, so obvious, so corrupt that even the corporate media was forced to admit that electronic voting machines didn’t work across America. That was a “conspiracy theory” — you might recall — just the day before.

But — lo and behold ! — the machines were all “down” in Mercer County, New Jersey. They were full of “mishaps” in Harris County, Texas and in Chesterfield County, Virginia and in Bell County, Texas and in Suffolk County, New York. At least 20% of all the machines were “not working” throughout Maricopa County, Arizona. They “ran out of paper” in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. In fact, “officials say that roughly 44 polling locations in Luzerne County ran out of paper to print ballots.”

Of course, it’s completely normal on Election Day for 44 polling places to run out of paper simultaneously. Don’t start fueling conspiracy theories by noticing that such a shortage must be deliberate!

It was always the case that the Washington uniparty was going to rig the elections against Trump-aligned candidates. The Swamp was not interested in victories for candidates like Blake Masters and Kari Lake in Arizona, Herschel Walker in Georgia, Dr. Oz and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania — and it was not interested in the continued careers of “troublemakers” like Lauren Boebert and Ron Johnson. Notice that almost all of those races are currently “too close to call” this morning — or called for the Democrat long before the votes could be counted.

Democrats needed to disrupt the Republican vote in Arizona to stop Masters and Lake — and what a coincidence! — the machines go down in the red precincts of Maricopa County and keep working elsewhere!

Can we at the very least do away with the voting machine system that was specifically designed for Hugo Chavez?

We have some GOP politicians here in Georgia (all of whom just got re-elected) who accepted a large sum of money to install and implement the Chavez machines.

The machine outages were a travesty, no question. But the bigger issue is the weeks or months of early, mail-in voting.

The #1 issue: Why didn't the RNC or the GOP do anything to ensure election integrity?  They've had 2 darn years and did nothing.

It's been obvious ever since Joe won that America's voting system is rigged.  How anyone could continue to deny that escapes me.

It took FL less than 5 hours to tally the votes. 

We must demand that we get back to voting on just Election Day.  NO early voting.  NO mail in ballots except for those overseas.

Agreed. Voting is an honor and privilege...not a convenience. (in most cases)

Well, you have a point there @Bigun   Please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't each county have their own set of rules provided that they are within State voting laws??  Ultimately I thought that the RNC had some say in the way that elections are handled???

Interesting.  I look back and during 'W's 2nd term, quite a few precincts around here lost power and some machines just stopped working.  It took a very long time to vote.

No @libertybele they do not have their "own set" of rules. They are required to follow the rules written by the legislature exclusively and to the letter.  No administrator or court has the authority to change those rules one iota for any reason and I strongly suspect that SCOTUS is going to make that perfectly clear (as if it already isn't) very soon.

The only thing the RNC or DNC can do is make sure that the law is followed to the letter.

bele asserts (wisely):
"We must demand that we get back to voting on just Election Day.  NO early voting.  NO mail in ballots except for those overseas."

OK, one more time...
Here's my "voting article" from a "re-Constituted" Constitution (and yes, I've reached that point where I believe the existing one has become inadequate and requires revision):
=======================
This Constitution prescribes that only citizens may vote in all elections conducted within the United States. This includes elections for federal offices of The United States, elections for State offices in the Several States, and all municipal and local elections conducted within the borders of The United States.

Elections will be conducted only on Election Day as prescribed by this Constitution.

All ballots in all elections will be paper ballots cast by individual voters at their respective polling locations. Electronic means may be used to tabulate vote counts at the local level.

Provisional ballots of any kind are prohibited by this Constitution.

Ranked Choice Voting of any kind is prohibited by this Constitution.

An election shall not be considered to be won unless the winning candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election must be held within 35 days to determine the winner. This shall not apply to the elections for President and Vice President, which are to be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral College, as enumerated in this Constitution.

The use of the United States Mail shall not be permitted for the collection of ballots, with the exception of absentee ballots.

There shall be no use of absentee ballots without the presentation of individual need, subject to strict scrutiny by the registrar of voters.

All citizens of the United States will be required to produce identification before voting.

All citizens of the United States who desire to vote will be required to register at least six months in advance of election day, unless they have previously done so. All citizens requesting registration will be properly vetted by the registrar of voters.

Thank you for the clarification.  Interesting I called several precincts years ago questioning what was acceptable ID to vote and I was told that it was up to the county Supervisor of Elections.  Obviously I was fed a line of b.s.

When this kind of crap happens, there needs to be strict rules to secure, segregate, and scrutinize every vote with full transparency under the supervision by the state and not the county.

Married men, married women and single men all voted GOP, but single women by a much large margin voted 'Rat, with that effect strongest among the young.

If the electoral system is "rigged", we rigged it when we gave 18 to 21 year olds the vote.

Republicans are almost a bigger problem than the Rats. For all those problematic swing states, they have all had total GOP control within the last 20 years.

And they have done nothing, even when the rules are in place.

As I have postulated before, the system isn't solely to the benefit of Democrats.

If it was disadvantageous to those in the GOP who do not want the swamp to be cleaned, the whole mess would be cleaned up by now.

Which leads one to the conclusion that the ability to manipulate outcomes is not just to the bnefit of the Left, but the Swamp denizens as well, including those in the GOP who want to retain their lock on power within the power (the RINO/GOPe/Country Club faction). Merely ensuring that close battles remain underfunded and with tepid (at best) support otherwise is just not enough to keep those TEA party/MAGA types out.

Agree @Polly Ticks 

Early voting facilitates and promotes uninformed and strictly emotional voting.

How many hundreds of thousands of votes were cast for Fetterman before the truth about his brain damage came out?  How many voted across the nation before one debate was held?

How many votes were cast in reaction to the democrat's fear of the day ---- like abortion or social security; or the promise of the day such as student debt forgiveness?   Demonrats have a unique talent for pinpointing an election at the individual --- and early voting makes it highly effective for them.

Early voting also promotes prolonged counting ---- the last bastion of fraud.

We need this to end this election season BS and return to election day.

Years ago, a woman on national news bragged about her and her daughter going and voting six times.  They each committed five felonies.  That woman's identity could have been easily determined, but I am 100% certain no one did a thing.  It is for this reason that voter ID should be mandatory throughout the country.

2020 was 100% fixed.  No mystery what happened.  PA is an excellent example.  In that huge Philly vote tabulation center, when they put the poster boards up and blocked the poll watchers from doing their job, EVERY VOTE in that center should have been rendered null and void.  The reason there are poll watchers is because of the propensity of humans to cheat!  Yes, cheat.  Stopping a poll watcher from doing their job, and then nothing done about it shows how broken the system is in PA.

Our election system is completely corrupted.  Electronic voting machines are actually easy to hack.  That is a fact.  Anyone that believes otherwise must believe in unicorns.  That is why we will NEVER have honest voting until we return to paper ballots.  And for those that don't remember, paper ballots were counted the day of the election and did not take a week of cheating to determine the outcome.

Democrats received 10 million LESS votes in 2022 than they did in 2018. Republicans received 3 million MORE—a 13 million vote swing.

Don’t let anyone tell you Republicans didn’t turn out, they did. It was early mail and harvesting in about 20 key districts. We will fix this.
