As an anesthesiologist, I work early and sometimes quite late. All through residency,I didn't vote because I was in the OR. Learning about and utilizing vote by mail has made my life SO MUCH EASIER. Also, I can research the candidates while I vote!
TRUMP wants to disenfranchise anyone w/a day job
https://www.electionguard.vote uses paper ballots and end to end technology to allow you to prove you voted, follow polls in real time and verify elections from your freaking phone!
plenty of "trump supporter cast 8 votes" or "trump supporter sent in dead wife's ballot" stories out there - republicans breaking the law to cast votes for their candidates is something that happens - a lot? dunno, but there's certainly a trend there.
When we "do the numbers" that's just a segment for the rich folk. The working class working poor can tune out, the numbers are never on affordable education, housing, living wage.
"Let's do the [rich folk] numbers."
For people that aren't understanding the point: as far as state- and national-level elections, the amount of vote fraud that happens is so negligible that it's never been found to have altered any outcomes. Vote fraud doesn't even amount to a rounding error.
Again: the amount that happens doesn't even amount to a rounding error. Yes, it happens, but it's so insignificant that any attempt to 'fix' it is going to result in more legitimate voters being disenfranchised than anything else.
To be clear: We agree that the volume of election "errors" is quite low, but we should also not be complacent in seeking to ensure that Canada's elections remain valid and do not have unexplained statistical anomalies in them. We must remain vigilant.
I can't seem to find too many (or any, really) credible sources that are taking this claim seriously. When I try to look it up, I get a lot of fairly dubious sites, and nothing that's remotely mainstream. Which seems odd, since this claim has been going around for months now.
I suppose that I could try to get the Clark County data and see if I get the same information as appears in the charts of the analysis. Finding statisticians to double-check someone else's work that does not *prove* anything isn't that valuable to media.
You have a good point about fact-checking. I found this article which adds the element of doubt by offering an alternate explanation about regions where large numbers of votes counted were Republican, which doesn't actually explain the down-vote disparity.
You asserted that there is " no individual voter fraud. None. Zero. Zip." and that was not true and a distribution of misinformation. Everyone needs to call out and correct misinformation every single time, no matter where it comes from. I'd suggest deleting your OG message and reissue with truth.
There is always some individual voter fraud! At least some of it is unintentional as laws change and individuals who were allowed to vote are no longer allowed to vote, or registration mistakes are made.
NB: "functionally" plays no useful role in your sentence regarding *individual* voter fraud.
Voter fraud, the trans community, and immigrants. Republican family members and friends bring it up too often for coincidence. It is a deep state fear mongering.
consistent party messaging can move your voters and even help re-set the national agenda if a party is good at it and the republicans are VERY good at it.
But, it’s not the national agenda. It’s a fringe issue that stokes emotion in some people. What is telling is that the media falls right into the trap. Look at the newly signed executive order on voting. Dozens of “news” stories covering an EO that does nothing!!!
they've BEEN working it since 2000 and especially after obama's two wins - the amount of vote suppression conducted in 2016 and (esp) 2024 is mind-boggling - 2020 is the only recent exception and that was likely thanks to COVID protocols undercutting the usual shit republicans do.
I agree, but I had to fill out 27 pages of paperwork and photograph multiple identification cards just to get on the wait list for a therapist.
We should get the voter ID issue settled while everyone has time to get their paperwork in order. My very blue state (RI) has very strong voter ID laws.
In PA, we have to sign a book that has our name in it when we vote at our polling location.
I asked the nice ladies there, "Has anyone ever come in to sign & found someone had already signed their name?"
"No, never.", she said.
Making ID at the polls moot since no one is pretending to be voters.
About half of our US citizens vote, and half is a stretch. This is such a gaslighting issue, it makes my head spin!!! If 50% of our country does not vote, wouldn’t the alleged fraud voters make up some greater difference?
Voter fraud is bottom up, done by one voter at a time with very little power and little to gain, very rare, and realistically can't change the outcome of elections.
*Election fraud* is top down, done for great gain by those with great power, not rare, and it does alter the result of big elections.
I strongly suspect Musk stole several swing states for Trump somehow. I mean, it looks to me like people are too afraid to look very hard, scared shitless of what it would mean.
Trump and House Republicans ran a voter fraud committee for over a year during his first term and the commission disbanded without issuing any findings or holding a single hearing. If fraud were real, he has failed miserably at dealing with it.
Interesting......the same people that oppose rooting out abuse, waste and fraud re our tax dollars also oppose voter fraud.......with the same lie (there is none 😂)
The Regime is threatening to cut off funds for states that don’t implement voter suppression by protecting undocumented immigrants. The connection between the two is as weird as the argument that undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes but IRS sharing tax info of said immigrants with ICE.
That is to say individual people do not commit voter fraud,not that someone with access to the tech might not have committed large scale election rigging. Reports of anomalies exist. Trumpski said musk would get the votes and he knows voting machines... admission by an adverse party (Rule 26)
Because why would there be? These people are such fools to believe that an illegal person would take the risk of destroying his or her whole life in the US and a felony conviction and deportation.... to vote?
The Heritage Foundation itself did an in depth study covering decades and came to the same conclusion. It’s an issue utterly lacking in basis. But they know that.
The notoriously left leaning Heritage Foundation has a database of every recorded instance of voter fraud going back more than 40 years. There are fewer than 1500 instances throughout the entire country across four decades. Less than one instance per state per year. https://electionfraud.heritage.org/
Trump stole the last election with help from gop courts, putin, elon, & starlink. I think putin helped trump every time, but the people voted overwhelmingly last time, cauaing the cheat to fail. This time it worked. Thats why elon/putin are the boss and not trump. They attacked tabulations this time

Evidence incoming any day now
He’s dead now, too.

It's like robbing a bank knowing *beforehand* the *best* you were going to make off with was $1.

What Musk did was provide a brand new powerful stream of propaganda, and that was bad enough.

Also, look up Russian Tail.

There have just been a lot of voters. And now, a boatload of voter suppression.

Although I hear Venezuela’s nice in the spring.
And tRump lost without help from Starlink?

These are fascist orders.
I'm still not convinced that Trump won fair and square.

Election fraud = voter suppression, missing ballots in the mail, bomb threats from Russia, back-door code hacks, stingray devices, wifi tabulators, epoll books and low orbit satellites.

If the Faux News chyron says so repeatedly, after 4 or 5 years, it’s a issue that republicans have to address.

This EO isn’t about “election integrity”, it’s about “election control”.
A risk like that for one little vote?
Nobody would do that. But MAGAs are dumb rubes.
