Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I will point out that this cannot change the result of the presidential election, since Trump didn't win the state in question anyway.
It might open an investigation into other places.
Like in Pennsylvania, perhaps, where he all but admitted to fucking with the voting machines.
Or Michigan and Wisconsin where the machines are easily audited
Almost like it actually happened and there was no evidence of fraud
Almost like a partial recount isn't enough.
Casual dismissal of statistically relevant recount and largest recount ever in Wisconsin, even including compared to 2020.
Yes. I read that. I'm also familiar with the voting village at defcon. They had years to plan and do recon. Half measures don't cut it.
It depends on who did the cheating and how prolific it is in other states and counties.
The point is that it all needs to be looked at and reverified
I will point out that if they did it in a state they weren't going to win and that would be too suspicious for them to actually win in the first place, why wouldn't they replicate it in a state they actually needed and on which his election actually hinged? Just means New York was a control/test case
Frankly after election there are two things that bugged me in California. There was a proposition that removed mandatory work requirement for inmates comparing it to a modern day slavery. There was no one who was willing to endorse vote against it (I suppose due to optics) yet the proposition failed.
When he visited CA after fires were already put down and made that spectacle with water dam, he also mentioned that he had a good feeling about next election.
I have a feeling that maybe CA voting is also compromised and this was a test for California, as trump winning here would be extremely suspicious, but no one will care about this proposition.
That one isn't suspicious to me. US public opinion has always had very little regard for anyone who's incarcerated. Hence, once the system gets ahold of you, you're fucked whether you're guilty or not (unless you're wealthy).
There should be penalties for a lot of things that are and have been happening.
