Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Jail jail jail jail.

Refer this shit to the FEC and get eyes on it instead of writing articles about it.

Talking about the author. Pretty sure the person holding the evidence needs to consult with state authorities first.

Rigging the vote is hard. These people are looking for people actively rigging the vote, thinking it is easy and that they just have to "catch them".

The ones you have to worry about are the ones the do final certification. Like we saw in Venezuela, all the counts could be right and if the certifier just declares the loser the winner, people will believe what they want to believe.

Voter fraud is rare and usually gets caught.

Election fraud, on the other hand...

Charge every single fuckin religious institution that tries to have a voice in government back taxes all the way to their beginning with every penalty an average person would get for skipping taxes. If these groups want a voice pay up otherwise they have no way.

No representation without taxation.

Lion of Judah instructs its trainees to report anything fishy to the ministry first before reporting their concerns to election authorities, which Taylor found chilling.

"The scariest thing to me: I can actually imagine these true-believer types manufacturing evidence of voter fraud while believing in their heart it's real," he wrote. "I study these election-denying Christians day in and day out – they are truly disconnected from reality and the fact-based world."

Yeah, I think that's about what we are all expecting.

Weird that religious people might be detached from reality /s

“And God said ‘Go forth and cheat at elections to push your own agenda’ and the Christian Nationalists did”
