The Perception of Cheating is the Real Danger to Democracy

[BS Filter]

Because you don’t have evidence for election fraud. You guys are just a bunch of sore loser crybabies whining that you lost.

How does it feel, you little bitch? Did you enjoy your “red tsunami”? Cry for me.

You have nothing. Your crybaby temper tantrum went nowhere and will continue to go nowhere. You people need to focus on evidence, not your feelings.

Does that make you upset? Cry for me you little bitch.

Spoken like a true fascist.

If this were a Republican it would be.

So?

 

[Slade3200]

It's not the MSM, it's our local news station and that's about as far as it got I'm sure. It's very questionable that Floyd died because of what the officer did but clear cut case of our local officer shooting a guy in the back and killing him. What's the difference? In the incident that happened here the officer was black and not white. That's why it's not a major event as far as the MSM is concerned.

Likely correct…. So what?

You’re just upset with the election results. Does someone need a tissue?

Nope. Democrats will lose the House. The majority of Governors are Republican. Many school boards were cleaned out of perverts. The Supreme Court is solid conservative for years. You're a loud shallow fascist pipsqueak.

How did black people vote?

You INSISTED that black people are too stupid to get ID, yet black people voted in record numbers in Georgia. How is that possible? Did Nazi heroes like you go and get ID for them?

How could a record number of blacks vote since the Americans we suppressing the vote?

Real voter suppression is nullifying the legal votes of American citizens with millions of ballots from dead people and illegal aliens.

You Nazis don't believe in democracy - you lust for power, RAW POWER.

Wow Adolph...you've gone full retard.

First your boy Putin leaves Ukraine and then your blob's endorsements lose almost every competitive election.

Now you're off your meds.

Election Integrity: 50% Think Cheating Likely in Midterms

Many voters still believe cheating affected the 2020 presidential election, and a majority fear the upcoming midterm elections could be tainted by cheating.

www.rasmussenreports.com

A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and The National Pulse finds that 52% of Likely U.S. voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 36% who think it is Very Likely. Forty-three percent (43%) don’t believe it’s likely cheating affected the 2020 outcome, including 30% who say it’s Not At All Likely. These findings are similar to previous surveys in May and March. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Fifty percent (50%) of voters think it is at least somewhat likely there will be widespread cheating that will affect the outcome of this fall’s congressional elections, including 24% who say it’s Very Likely. Forty-one percent (41%) don’t believe cheating is likely to affect the November midterms, including 22% who say it’s Not At All Likely.

Voters remain skeptical of the integrity of vote-by-mail. Fifty-eight percent (58%) think it’s at least somewhat likely that wider use of mail-in voting will lead to more cheating in elections, including 39% who say it’s Very Likely. Thirty-six percent (36%) don’t believe mail-in voting is likely to lead to more cheating, including 16% who say it’s Not At All Likely. In October 2021, 65% said wider use of mail-in voting would lead to more cheating in elections.

It is relatively easy, compared to landing a man on the moon, or getting a vaccine developed and approved in a matter of months, or winning a war against both Germany and Japan's military machines, to ensure election security. The steps demanded by people concerned about cheating are pretty simple: Photo ID to register, photo ID to vote, and no absentee ballots except in limited and tightly controlled situations like military service, would easily address the concerns of voters who now wonder whether their vote even matters any more.

If the Democrat care so much about Democracy, they would demand the same thing. Especially an honest Dem who honestly believes that there is no significant cheating by Dems. If a Dem believes that, they should be willing to tighten up election security as you suggest so that confidence in Democracy is restored.

Suppose there is no widespread cheating. There is no way to prove that, since cheating is by nature furtive, and little to no resources are spent in catching it. But just suppose that the majority of Americans are wrong, and that in the reality that they don't know, there is very little cheating and what little there is on both sides cancel each other out.

It is not impossible that this is the reality. Perceptions can be wrong.

But . . . there is at this moment in time widespread perception of cheating and that is just as dangerous to Democracy, if not more so.

It's not just Trump cultists who are concerned about cheating:

Asked which is more important in elections, 59% say making sure there is no cheating is more important, while 38% say making it easier for everybody to vote is more important. Those findings are almost unchanged from May.

Seventy-six percent (76%) of Republicans, 37% of Democrats and 64% of voters not affiliated with either major party think it’s more important to make sure there is no cheating in elections. Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats, 20% of Republicans and 33% of unaffiliated voters say making it easier for everybody to vote is more important.

If large chunks of the country lose interest in democracy as a way to affect change because they believe in the old meme, "if voting mattered, they wouldn't let us do it," they are not just going to passively accept their fate of being ruled by corrupt elites. They are going to look for ways outside of democracy to free themselves. That is the danger.

It is easy enough to vote. The above numbers show that more than half the Republicans and Democrats combined think it is more important to make sure there is no cheating than to make voting easier. With that kind of support for eliminating cheating, it should be an easy decision to take on a relatively easy mission.

Quote: "The only people who’ve been arrested for election fraud are Trump supporters in Florida, Trump supporters in Wisconsin & Trump supporters in Texas. Every time Republicans claim an upcoming election is ‘rigged’ — it’s because they are trying to rig the election. Call out the lie."

There is a prime example of what you speak of that happened here in Cleveland. A black officer who was on the force for a short period of time shot a black suspect in the back as he was running away. The catch is the officer is also black, and I bet nobody outside of this area knows about this story. The officer in question was asked to leave his job with another local department because of work related issues, somewhat similar to the Tamir Rice incident that also happened here in Cleveland. Assuming the story was kept local, why didn't the MSM latch onto it and make it a national event? It happened several months ago, and the officer that shot the suspect is back on full duty. Nahh, not newsworthy.

Suspect shot and killed by Maple Heights police identified

A man who was shot in Cleveland by officers with the Maple Heights Police Department has died.

You stupid moron, that Cleveland police shooting was a good shoot. So why would there be a need to raise hell for justice being done. When a violent felon is Imminently endangering public, they can be shot in the back. That was not the case with George Floyd, John Crawford III, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Ahmaud Arbery, Freddie Grey, etc.

So you are happy with the results of the election. Good. Me too. I’m glad to see that Democrats held onto the Senate and that the “red tsunami“ turned into a pathetic red trickle. Glad we agree.

Not in our state. You must be in jeopardy of serious bodily harm or death to use deadly force. This guy was climbing a fence when he was shot dumb ass.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

So?

So it's more proof yet that the MSM is nothing but an extension of the Democrat party. It's the only reason I made the statement it will be off the table right after the election.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

I think, states are trying harder to make sure procedures insure there is proper oversight with checks and double checks in place. The call of "they cheated" will be harder and harder to prove, because it will be false when put forth and the checks and witness will prove it and mistakes will be caught and corrected. There is not a state or county out there, that wants to be the butt of the joke for the country and are taking steps to make sure, it isn't them.

That's my opinion and I am not worried.

No democrat controlled states are concerned with election integrity.

Ok, there is massive fuckery, make your plans and your campaign strategies based on this and quit whining about it.

If it were Republicans who are rigging elections, then Democrats would be strongly in support of laws to prevent it, instead of claiming that blacks aren't allowed to get ID's and that in-person voting discriminates against the gender-fluid, or whoever.
