ReplyDeletehigh tech machines are easier to manipulate and they need all the voter fraud they can get to continue ruining America into Socialism / Islamic/ Shari law.
ReplyDeleteWe need to get back to actual paper ballots in every election, ones that are not read by computers or scanners, but by people.
ReplyDeleteLook at all the "D"'s hollering that pen and paper ballots may "malfunction"!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You can't make this stuff up!
Unfortunately, they will have a ton of followers that will actually believe them...
When I vote, I want a receipt showing who I voted for, not just a little sticker for my lapel.
ReplyDeleteWhy wasn't he so concerned about it before? Could he actually be afraid that more republicans will win in future elections??? I think that is more his worry then whether or not they work properly.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe much that comes out of his mouth.
Our votes do not count. The winner is bought and paid for long before election day.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the last time you gave a few million to a candidate?
Its all a backroom deal, makes it look good on tv and reporting but i do not trust any of it.
