As a Georgia resident, the recent decision by the Georgia election board to order a hand count of votes in the US presidential contest has left me deeply unsettled. The implications of this decision go far beyond what appears to be a simple request for a recount. There are concerns raised that the board may be overstepping its statutory authority and potentially opening the door for chaos and manipulation in the election process.
The idea of hand counting millions of votes in such a crucial and time-sensitive election is not only impractical but also raises questions about the motives behind this decision.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent claim that he has enough votes to “cancel” the 2024 Presidential Election is yet another alarming display of his disregard for democracy. The fact that he is willing to undermine the very foundation of our political system for his own gain is a clear indication of his autocratic tendencies. His repeated assertions of voter fraud, without evidence, only serve to further erode trust in the electoral process and sow division among the American people.
It is truly concerning that Trump is so desperate to hold onto power that he would resort to such desperate and undemocratic measures. His attempts to delegitimize the 2020 election results, despite all evidence to the contrary, were a clear sign of his willingness to put his own interests above the will of the American people.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the recent news that Mike Johnson and Donald Trump are joining forces to promote a bill preventing non-citizens from voting, I can’t help but feel a mixture of bewilderment and frustration. The fact that this is even a topic of discussion is mind-boggling. Current US law already dictates that only citizens are allowed to vote, so why the need for a redundant bill? It’s like trying to make murder illegal all over again – a wasted effort that accomplishes nothing.
I remember a few years back when my aunt from Arizona shared a post claiming that California was allowing illegal immigrants to vote because they were issuing driver’s licenses to them.… Continue reading
The recent revelation that a GOP official who fervently claimed the 2020 election was stolen actually voted illegally nine times has left me feeling a mixture of disbelief and frustration. It’s astounding how those who shout the loudest about voter fraud are often the ones engaging in fraudulent activities themselves. The sheer hypocrisy of accusing others of wrongdoing while committing the same offenses is mind-boggling.
The case of Brian Pritchard, the first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, shines a harsh light on the double standards within our justice system. While Pritchard was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and face some investigative costs for his illegal votes, it’s hard not to draw comparisons to other cases where individuals, particularly minorities, faced much harsher penalties for similar offenses.… Continue reading
As I ponder the recent news of a Judge finding fraudulent votes, all from a Republican, I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and disappointment at the state of our electoral system. The case of Brian Pritchard, the first vice chairman of the state Republican Party, who illegally voted in nine elections while still on probation for a felony conviction, shines a glaring light on the hypocrisy and corruption that taint our political landscape.
It’s disheartening to see that time and time again, it is the very individuals who claim to uphold the values of democracy and integrity that are caught engaging in fraudulent activities.… Continue reading
Fake Joe Biden robocall tells New Hampshire Democrats not to vote on Tuesday
As I read the headline about a fake Joe Biden robocall urging New Hampshire Democrats not to vote on Tuesday, a rush of emotions ran through me. Disgust, anger, and disbelief, to name a few. How could someone stoop so low to undermine our democracy in such a blatant and shameful way?
It is evident that this act is tantamount to election interference and fraud. Not only does it seek to deceive voters, but it also undermines the very foundations of our democratic system. The fact that these kinds of tactics have been used before, with little to no consequences, only exacerbates the frustration and distrust many of us feel.… Continue reading

Conservatives can’t prove that widespread voter fraud is real. The Heritage Foundation, at Trump’s insistence, already tried in 2017 and this was the result: Less than 1,100 individual cases spanning from as far back as 1982 found:

That’s THEIR report, by the way.
But hold up–there was an update to that number in march. According the Heritage foundation, that number “swelled up” to a whopping 1,285
Trump himself set up a commission to prove his claim that there was widespread voter fraud and that’s why he lost the popular vote. You remember what happened?
The commission found so few cases they disbanded without producing a single report.… Continue reading
