They *gasp* made it hard for one of the women of The View to commit voter fraud. The fiends!

Quote
    "I had trouble actually voting FOR HIM, absentee ballot today."

    Sunny admits she voted absentee in place of her son and whines that she had trouble doing it.
    "And that made me very concerned." She warned that they were putting them in an orange bag instead of an official box. pic.twitter.com/l3MLJ7CcuV

It sounds like The View’s Sunny Hostin just admitted to committing voter fraud today

And now gas costs too much, so people can't afford to drive to their voting location, so voter suppression. Which, wouldn't high gas prices be Brandon's fault?

No, no, no.  The evil Gaia-hating oil companies are in cahoots with the GOP Nazis.  They are deliberately inflating fuel prices to hurt the Democrats in the midterms.

Cyber attacks on voting machines in Illinois.

My question, election after election, continues to be, "Why are voting machines on the Internet?"

At this point, I know I'm a terrorist, because I'm a man who wears trousers. Heck, I don't even wear eye shadow.

Here's what 2 people did when they lost faith in elective government.

Quote
A civilian nuclear engineer with the U.S. Navy and his wife received lengthy prison sentences on Wednesday for attempting to sell U.S. nuclear secrets to what they believed were representatives of a foreign government.

Quote
At one point, the Toebbes told their foreign contacts that they had their passports ready and were eager to leave the country, in part because they feared for their lives but also because they were opposed to the Trump administration....

“I believed that my family was in dire threat, that democracy itself was on the verge of collapse. And that sort of catastrophic thinking overwhelmed me,” he said at the sentencing hearing.

What will happen if people don't trust elections?

What will happen if nobody trustworthy is on the ballot in the elections?

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

The graveyard vote will REALLY come into play . . . and it won't be long until the dead elect one of their own to office.

I remember lots of "suggestions" of using these sort of tactics to get HRC to the oval office.

Didn't happen.
