There also must be MASSIVE punishment for cheating.
so far, the “punishment” is election to office.
Hundreds.
Agreeing with your post before the pearl clutching Nancys come in talking about how “extreme”” that position is........
It’s been weeks since the mid-terms and I’ve seen no indication that the Republicans intend to protect the 2020 vote. Every day that goes by is 1 day fewer to root out and defeat all the ways the left cheats.
But but but we have been told Republicans lost because of early voting and people’s hate for Trump! Oh I’m so confused.
yeah a desk appearance and it is forgotten
And thes are just 9 that we know about. Im convinced there are many more of these organized groups across the country in every state, and who work exclusively for the Democrat party.
Or something more final. So long as they serve as an example to others.
Bttt.

I wonder if any of this affected some of the many surprise wins in the Orange County area.
Voter fraud should be a Capital Offense....
This is just to show they’re taking some kind of action against voter fraud. I’ll believe they’re serious when they go after the folks allowing (even encouraging) illegals to vote, & the folks inside the election offices that are allowing bad ballots to be counted.

Covered - fraud = election overturned and party responsible can’t nominate a replacement.
So, who was further up the chain? Hope they sing like birds.
I’s even bigger than that, in my opinion.
Every false vote is effectively nullifying the vote of someone else. Many people have fought and died to secure our right to vote, and to me this makes voter fraud on the same level as treason during war time. Therefore, the penalty should be similar.
I would fully support imposing the death penalty for intentional voter fraud.
I would imagine that once people are arrested, convicted, and the sentence carried out, that would pretty much put an end to it.
But I truly believe the crime is that serous.
Doesn’t Cali DMV already sign up thousands of illegals to vote ?
The Dems started winning in Virginia about the same time DMV started being allowed to sign up voters.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.
