OK. Accusation: "Hundreds of laws and processes were changed in the months leading up to the election, sometimes legally and sometimes not" Which hundreds of laws were created illegally? How many illegal votes were cast? That ONE Pennsylvania thing where the votes wouldn't have made a difference in the outcome, and where a court said if Republicans didn't like it they should have protested before the election? Your author is engaging in purposeful disingenuity, trying to insinuate "hundreds of laws" equally upon both legal legislation and a single, solitary case that didn't amount to squat. And if laws were created LEGALLY where's the problem? Oh, here: Accusation: "creating chaos, confusion, and uncertainty." Baloney. So much "confusion" that Americans cast more votes than at any time in history, by a wide margin. Accusation: "Tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg, one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful men, spent $419 million — nearly as much as the federal government itself" Private money spent according to his own desires. The horror! Suddenly Republicans despise capitalism? Accusation: " — to interfere in the government’s management of the election in key states." I just love her choice of words there, don't you? "Interfere", as though Zuckerberg did something illegal. Zuckerberg's donations were to private organizations whose missions were GOTV. Why do Republicans despise people voting? And at the very basic level, just as Republicans proclaimed when Russian bots flooded Facebook and Twitter and Snapchat and everything else with phony stories about Clinton, nobody actually forced anybody to vote or to not vote, nor did anybody pull the level for anybody else. Accusation: "Powerful tech oligarchs and corrupt propaganda press conspired to keep indisputably important news stories, such as allegations of corruption regarding the Biden family business, hidden from voters in the weeks prior to voting." Oh yeah? Where did these conspiracy meetings take place? As for hidden allegations, how did I know about them? And it's really hypocritical, isn't it, that Republicans would scream about someone using his/her financial clout legally within a society of capitalism largely shaped by Republicans to allow such activity? Remember Citizens United? Now suck on it. Accusation: "Information operations were routinely manufactured about President Trump in the closing months of the campaign, including the false claim that Russians paid bounties for dead American soldiers and Trump didn’t care, and that Trump had called dead American soldiers losers. Both were disputed by dozens of on-the-record sources." To say that those allegations were "manufactured" is to assume something without evidence. As of this date all those stories are at best "undetermined", but it certainly doesn't help trump's denials, does it, that he almost always automatically took Putin's side over American intelligence agencies, or that he publicly mocked the families of Gold Star heroes. That's his usual style, which make the allegations quite believable. Even likely. How is this "rigging"? And how WASN'T it rigging when the trump campaign accused Clinton of severe illnesses, or dementia, or illegal server activities, or allowing four Americans to die in Benghazi? Was it "rigging" when just twelve days before the 2016 election James Comey declared that some Clinton emails were under investigation, but then the media didn't clear her when he found nothing? And was it "rigging" for Comey to hide the fact that at the actual time of the election it was trump, not Clinton, who was under investigation? Accusation: "Effective conservative voices were censored by the social media arms of the Democrat Party." Facebook and Twitter are perfectly within their American rights to expunge misinformation from their private enterprise platforms, and even to prefer Democrats if they so wish. Free enterprise. Deal. Accusation: " And all this was done after the establishment spent years running an unprecedented “Resistance” that falsely claimed Trump was a traitor who had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election." He did. The Mueller investigation detailed several instances of it. This later Durham investigation proves that the trump campaign had a secret server in regular communication with Putin's enterprises. Accusation: "It’s not surprising that polls show most Republicans are deeply concerned about the integrity of such an election." True. It's not surprising that Republicans are dishonest or uninformed. So, I repeat my previous statement: "rigging" an election means that the Democrats didn't propagate Republican talking points? Or that Democrats used legal means to get out the vote? Your article is laughable bullshit.
let's take them one by one. If you question that laws were changed in many states leading up to the election we really can't go any further. The internet is forever and you can research 2020 election laws or accept the premise if you are too lazy to look.There is no question that laws were changed. If you notice, you'll see that i agreed that it was masterful in the way they used covid to fundamentally change the election. ready to move on?
Oh, so you're admitting that "rigging" was legal, but a purposefully loaded term to connote something nefarious, where the bigger truth is that Democratic "rigging" resulted in more Americans than ever participating in the democratic process of electing a president. Funny, isn't it, that your Republican hack author didn't mention Republican "rigging"... like gerrymandering, laws to suppress votes, Fox partisanship, Newsmax partisanship, OAN partisanship, Republican misinformation, Russian disinformation....
Incorrect. I'm a conservative (they don't call us 'right' for nothing), but I'm miles away from a far right wing nut. I guess we have different definitions of what a dictator is.
if you believe the election was rigged and cheating was done by the party that was "out of power" at the time then you are far right. no way around it. why? not 1 court has sided with that point of view out of what, 60+? it's been about 1.5 years and 0 proof to support. even though i thought HRC was a weak candidate and not very likable, she did concede that night. now, she did bitch afterward, but she did what was right when it was time.
I challenge you to find one post where I've said this. I happen to believe there are at least 81m people in this country that are either libtards, suffer from TDS, are stupid, mentally ill or some form of all rolled into one, like Rex. Judging by Biden's approval numbers, at least 64% of these folks are regretting that they voted for him. But, I will say this - I do cybersecurity at a high level for a living and I know how easy it would be to manipulate a voting machine and edit log files. That's a fact. Especially if that machine had a internet connection, which none ever should.
the bolded part confirms you are of the far right. The second paragraph doesn't confirm any fact. I can say I am a former defense department audit manager (which I was) and hold multiple certifications (which I do), but I don't necessarily believe that will convince anyone that it is fact on this board. Our voting machines had requirements to be met in contracting and countless number of tests done on them before they were put to use, or they wouldn't have been part of the voting process. You're acting like we're some kind of 3rd world country...but only when you don't get your way. I'm sure you had no problem with how the machines performed in 2016. Right?! Get a life and try being a patriot, rather than a trumper. It's hurting our country to keep crying over an election you were on the losing side of with, for the 500th day, no convincing evidence otherwise.
If I gave a fuck what you thought, I might be offended. Good for you. You're speaking like a fossil. This is the age of technology. It doesn't have to be 3rd world for them to be hacked. I've read about it extensively and seen it demonstrated first hand. Just because YOU don't believe it doesn't mean it can't happen. Wrong, they could have been hacked then too. Again, I'm not saying they were in either election. I'm telling you that its possible, regardless of you feel about it. And unlike libtards, who's ends justify the means, I care more about the candidate that wins a fair election more then I do about my candidate winning. People you don't agree with will always be idiots, no matter what side you're on.
Odd. I had a TS and was an auditor in the Air Force. USB access was against DOD directives yet the voting machines use them as their primary source of “upgrades”. This is like basic level INFO sec.
