America can't even pull off a free and fair election anymore.

Grasp that!

1. With voter suppression and inconsistent voting techniques -

when have we ever?

[BlueJac]

2. I am not sure we have in quite a while!

[wiggs]

3. The incompetence is a constant feature, not a bug. Couldn't even pull off

their first WH easter egg hunt, let alone any significant policy or diplomacy.

4. Not in Wisconsin for sure. Thanks to the Koch Industries U.S. S.C.

8. Florida held ours even though people were pissed

Didn’t hurt turnout at all. Ohio cancelled there’s and people were pissed with that too even though they were supposed to be the same day.

5. "anymore"

6. 5 polling locations in Milwaukee when we normally have 180.

7. The Republicans are openly admitting that high voter turnout and fair elections

are not good for their chances of winning.

Grasp that too!

It's a damn shame. I'm now in a district I was gerrymandered into to assure that there will only ever be Republicans running this district. The courts called it "surgical precision" racism. The NC Republicans still haven't done what the courts told them to do and fixed this gerrymandered shit of theirs. I will never have representation as long as they are allowed to ignore the other branches of government and do as they please, up to and including stealing absentee ballots and getting caught doing it. They did that too. There is nothing they won't do, because they keep getting away with it.

K&R.

9. President Carter, to his credit ...

... as a global election watchdog, has been arguing that American elections have not been either free or fair for many years.

11. What about the two Obama

elections? Overwhelming support!

[Laelth]

13. There was massive voter suppression.

Voting rolls were wrongly culled. Electronic voting machines were easily hackable. The fact that Obama won twice does not prove that we have fair and free elections in the United States.

10. So f@cked up..

I recently watched "Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America's Elections" on HBO. The segment on Georgia convinced me that Kemp stole that election from Stacey Abrams. Powerful stuff - I'm worried that this is how Trump will get re-elected because I really can't see him winning in a fair election where every votes counts towards the candidate that the voter actually cast his or her ballot for. Sorry for the long winded sentence, but watching this documentary really bothered me and makes me nervous about 2020.

12. And they dare to point their fingers

at others.
