All you're saying is that the cheaters got away with it, cretin. You're not denying that the states broke the law.
The voters COULDN'T obey the rules, ya tard - the SYSTEM was rigged AGAINST the rules.
The entire concept of "breaking the law" requires some degree of criminal intent, I believe. In this case, the rules were modified in a good faith effort to protect the public health in the midst of a deadly global pandemic. Nobody set out to CHEAT the system... they only sought to save lives
There was absolutely NOTHING in the revised rules that favored one party over another. Voters who might have voted in person in previous elections had the luxury to vote early from the safety of their own homes. No party was precluded from encouraging their voters to use mail in ballots. And if the GOP had not so vigorously eschewed mail in voting, and had embraced it instead, as the democrats did, they would have undoubtedly increased the voter participation over that achieved by their reliance on same day voting alone.
Why would anyone brave uncertain weather, uncertain parking availability, uncertain wait periods while standing in line with people who may be carrying a deadly virus for which there was no medical protection when alternatively, weeks in advance, they could fill out a ballot request form, stick it in the mail, get their ballot returned to them in the mail, take days to leisurely fill out their ballot at the kitchen table, stick it in an envelope and drop it back in the mail long before election day? Voting by mail allowed folks to NEVER have to come in contact with someone infected with COVID, and NEVER have to worry about getting a sitter to watch the kids while they went and voted and never have to figure out who would cook dinner and what if it were raining cats and dogs, and what if there was an emergency at work and you had to stay late, etc. etc. etc.
Republicans could have done that. Instead, they urged their supporters NOT to do that. That was stupid. They lost. They got what they deserved.
And then, two years later, their red tsunami was a ripple and they lost a senate seat and nearly lost the house.
Cool to know that McCarthy is holding on to his speakership by his fingernails with the help of Drag Queen Santos, eh? The whole **** Grand Old Party has devolved into a clown car.
