May 2024

Republicans thought the last election wasn't legit and brought up many reasons why it wasn't.

All have been examined and all have been found not applicable.

The voting system is complex but rigorous, and not amenable to manipulation.

There are 'spoilers' in the system though, like gerrymandering and the Electoral College - they need addressing.

But it's disingenuous of you to suggest the system can be manipulated easily in other ways.

People who lose faith in the value of their vote will not bother to vote. Is that what you want?
