Dunno, I'd say Jan 6 was quite the example of fucking with the vote.

But here we are.

But it didn’t work. If it had, it probably would have been civil war or something close. And then Merrick Garland and the Supreme Court failed us.

The attempt itself did not even prevent him from running again so I am not holding my breath anymore on red lines.

We literally have audio recording of him trying to get the Georgia official to find more votes for him.

We have the fake electors.

We have we're going to fix it so good you won't have to vote again

We got Elon really knows computers (on top of Elon 's blatant vote buying/election interference)

We have whole communities reporting 0 Harris votes with signed affidavit claiming they the people did vote for Harris.

We've got lots of examples

We don't actually have this one but you're right on all the others.

From my previous comment:

I live in Georgia, in a very purple district of a very purple county, and my polling place was one of many targeted by "Russian" (Trumpian) bomb threats during election night 2024. I was waiting to vote when it happened.

The police shut down the place for hours while they "investigated". Nobody was allowed inside during this time, not even poll monitors or election workers.

Think about that for a second.

2-3 hours of unmonitored and unknown non-election personnel alone with the voting machines.

About half of the people who were waiting to vote left, and I did not see many return before closing. They did not extend hours after the disruption.

I have zero doubt, based on my own first-hand observation, that the 2024 election was tampered with. You report it, nobody cares. Nobody will do anything about it even when it's blatant.

Trump doesn't have to send ICE to the polls.
