The U.S. Inability To Count Votes is a National Disgrace. And Dangerous.
Substack ^ | November 4, 2020 | Glenn Greenwald

Posted on 11/04/2020 3:38:56 PM PST by CheshireTheCat

The richest and most powerful country on earth — whether due to ineptitude, choice or some combination of both — has no ability to perform the simple task of counting votes in a minimally efficient or confidence-inspiring manner. As a result, the credibility of the voting process is severely impaired, and any residual authority the U.S. claims to “spread” democracy to lucky recipients of its benevolence around the world is close to obliterated.

...the day after the 2020 presidential elections, the results of the presidential race, as well as control of the Senate, are very much in doubt and in chaos. Watched by rest of the world — deeply affected by who rules the still-imperialist superpower — the U.S. struggles and stumbles and staggers to engage in a simple task mastered by countless other less powerful and poorer countries: counting votes. Some states are not expected to finished their vote-counting until the end of this week or beyond...No matter what the final result, there will be substantial doubts about its legitimacy by one side or the other, perhaps both. And no deranged conspiracy thinking is required for that. An electoral system suffused with this much chaos, error, protracted outcomes and seemingly inexplicable reversals will sow doubt and distrust even among the most rational citizens.

The next time Americans hear from their government that they need to impose democracy in other countries — through wars, invasion, bombing campaigns or other forms of clandestine CIA “interference” — they should insist that democracy first be imposed in the United States. An already frazzled, intensely polarized and increasingly hostile populace now has to confront yet another election in the richest and most technologically advanced country on earth where the votes cannot be counted in a way that inspires even minimal degrees of confidence.

Can something deliberate be a disgrace?

It’s not incompetence it’s part of the fraud.

Sorry. It has nothing to do with “can’t”. It is choreographed and purposeful.

Yep, it’s an embarrassment almost as bad as having Biden and that commie whore as pres and VP.

Blame is pointed at the governors of those states and Ducey in AZ has no excuse either.

Its not the ability to count votes. Its that unequal, widely disparate, and guaranteed corrupt results, due mainly (but not exclusively) to mail-in voting are BUILT IN.

Its not a bug, its a feature.

It’s not that can’t or inability it’s called stalling until they see how many votes the DEMS need to win and they bring in their truck loads of ballots in middle of night or even over days.

Dems now know how to win every future election from this year.

Counting votes is not the problem.

It’s the Demonicrats who, in a deliberate act of treason, give aid and comfort to the enemy by not counting, miscounting, discarding legal, and accepting illegal votes to overthrow the rightful elected representatives of the Uited States and install a traitorous and Communist-bound alternative.

It is not incompetence. It is being done on purpose to facilitate fraud.

One of Italy's current government coalition parties was founded by a stand-up comic.

That's exactly where we're heading. Trevor Noah / Jimmy Kimmel 2024.

We should do away completely with mail-in votes.
Unless every single vote can be authenticated, it's not a real election.

If BIDEN when’s with all the cheating and fraud then there is absolutely no point in voting anymore
