We all know a large percentage of Americans don’t trust the election process anymore. And we don’t trust the media after 3 years of russian collusion lies and overt partisanship for the dems. So What measures should we take to make sure elections are transparent and believable again?
Seems that would go a long way to healing our division.
Getting rid of the dominion machines would seem to be the first step.
Have real poll watchers from both sides. Do not allow poll workers to kick people out. Investigate reported irregularities. Don’t ignore them. Do not flood the country with ballots. Issue them by request. Go back to having an election day, not an election season.
Our current electoral systems work pretty damn well. Lies about fraud have fostered disbelief, not any actual fraud or problems with the current systems. Why fix a system that isn’t broken? End this false narrative about a broken electoral system. It’s not broken.
The process is fair. If anything we need to make it more accessible. The problem isn’t the system, it’s the people who think the system is broken. Those people are being lied to for political gain. See: Trump 2016 - 2020.
If you have ways to make voting more transparent, great. Go for it. But don’t make those changes based on lies.
Look. It was in Trump’s best interest to lie about the validity of elections in order to have an excuse if he lost. Nothing more. There is no proof of any election fraud that kept Trump from winning. If Trump had come out after 2016 and said, there was no fraud. People would have believed him. If he would have said there was no fraud in the 2020 election, people would have believed him.
I’m all for it, so long as the government pays for it and makes it easy to get. Like I should be able to take a photo at my local Costco or Sams Club to use for the ID.
Cons are saying there is fraud but cannot provide a stitch of evidence that can get past the court of law… or even public opinion.
For example… Dominion… I have not see a stitch of source code made available that show that the machines where changing votes. Not one… line… of… code.
