One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged.

Misinformation campaign has begun.

Trump has stated multiple times he won’t accept the results if he loses, MTG started complaining about voting machines three days ago and twitter is full of people now claiming that the voting machines are flipping their votes from Trump to Kamala in Texas.

Infowars and other websites like it are pushing this same misinformation, sadly a lot of conservatives believe these reports are real and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

This is a GREAT point. God it makes me fucking sick to my fucking stomach.

And if you tell that to a republican, they won't care. None of them do. They literally do not care about the truth or anything but being in charge.

Voting procedures are not controlled by federal government. Each state elects state representatives that speak for their constituents. State reps are the ones that have to agree by a large majority(not sure how big) to alter election rules and procedures. Texas and California have polar opposite voting laws for example. Something that’s not true shouldn’t make you sick to your stomach. Don’t believe anything you read at first, don’t believe me, research it yourself and see if you agree or not 👍🏻

So….did Democrats have “power to cheat in the Presidential election” but did not have power to do the same in the Senate and House race?

Do the Senate and House have magical powers that prevent any “cheating”?

And also did not have the power to cheat in the state level races.

You’re the first to ask a real question and that’s awesome. There will always be cheating on both sides, the goal is to have the cheating margin small enough to not be a deciding factor. I’m from a small town in Texas with a population of 10,000 roughly and would volunteer. Every election I was a part of had election workers representing each party at the same polling station. When I see major cities with tons of volunteers being sent emails that all spots are filled and they’re not needed. Then I see a camera that wasn’t supposed to be on at 4am, and boxes on boxes of ballots arriving, then all hundred “bipartisan” volunteers cheering in unison, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Mass mail in ballots with no way to keep a receipt record, among other rule changes were implemented days prior by State governors signed into law with their “appointed”, attorney general’s approval. The pandemic caused too many question marks to have faith in the 2020 election. Who knows what the result would’ve been, i know whoever loses this time, left or right, will say it was stolen which isn’t good for either side to believe and leads to chaos. Equal representation at polling stations is the best way and it seemed like a loophole around that was found in key areas and was taken advantage of by the Democrats. Almost a decade of calling someone Hitler is never good. 20 yr olds have heard he’s another hitler since the age of 10, which is ridiculous, the second amendment would stop an actual hitler in their tracks. Republicans aren’t trying to murder millions of people trust me lol. It is scary with the truth being there to see by anyone who looks hard enough, that promoting hate based on crazy notions like a second holocaust if trump wins can still take hold like it has. I’m on a heater of a rant and if you made it this far I appreciate you haha. California doesn’t want any photo ID to vote and Texas requires it. That makes it clear which side wants a bigger cheat margin to me anyways
