ReplyDelete"n the 2020 general election in Detroit, 72% of the AVCB results were "out of balance," meaning that the number of votes tabulated by the voting machines did not match the number of voters recorded in the electronic poll books (EPBs). And yet, by state law, because they were out of balance, a recount could not be done. What were the vote tallies in each individual precinct? Were the ballots legitimate? Were signatures properly verified? We will never know. Centralizing vote numbers does not allow us to know what happens in each precinct, where mistakes or intentional malfeasance could be more easily tracked."
These folks are worried about competition.
ReplyDeleteIf they are they would want to keep the dems in power. Those are big ifs. The US government has shown its level of corruption over, and over. I smell bullshit.
ReplyDeleteThe Dems are just creating a contrast should they lose. This will serve as an excuse to delegitimize the election and not turn power over to the Republicans. Did you know that the North Koreans are Democrats as well? Makes you wonder what that word really means
