One of the two counties in Florida with all the problems has every word intheir ballot written in three languages, English, Spanish and a third that I do not recognize. >>>> probably tagalog. phillipino.

>>>In Georgia, hundreds blundered on their absentee ballot, incorrectly filling out the birth date section<<<

Nope, the people who forged the Ballots blundered.

They should have gone to the Cemeteries to see what Birth Dates were on the Headstones.

They’re all in English? Where do you vote?

I saw a post that explains it, will try to paraphrase:

"Just weeks ago Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries had millions and millions of tickets purchased for some of the biggest draws ever. Within hours they knew how many winners, what states they lived in, and what store they purchased their tickets from.

Yet we have people "counting votes" weeks afterwards and they cant tell who voted?

Our election systems are broken on purpose folks. In order to steal your rights"

Naturalized citizens are allegedly required to know English to become citizens.

But there is no requirement that anchor babies and children of naturalized citizens learn English.

When I moved to Chicago’s inner city, I often went to the house of a friend. His 80+ year old grandmother was born and raised and lived her whole entire life in the same Chicago neighborhood where everyone spoke Polish. She spoke Polish and nothing else. She read the Polish newspaper. The church was all Polish (and a little Latin).

My first Chicago landlady spoke only Slovak and about 20 words of English. At least she knew more English that my friend’s grandmother.

I remember one year we had a proposal that if you voted yes, you were voting against it and if you voted no you were voting for it.

I read it three times before voting yes. It almost succeeded. Don't remember what it was, some dummycrat thing that would have been a pain in the wallet.

Why? Because we don’t have literacy tests, that’s why.

Neither for the election officials, nor for the voters.

In California, the ballots are misleading on purpose!! Example Prop 6, Repeal of the Gasoline Tax, was misleading and, after half the people voted, they mailed out a revised Prop 6 description. How convenient, ya think?

For the most part, it is Dem designing of the ballots. It is perceived to be even more confusing than it is, because Dems repeatedly claim their voters are too stupid to vote.

It’s intentional.

It’s the first step in a well thought out vote fraud scam.

Confusion leads to so-called “undervotes” - a blank vote on the ballot.

When a race is not voted on it is a simple matter to fill in the blank on the ballots behind closed doors and turn them into votes for the democrat.

Can’t be done?

A judge has already found Brenda Snipes (Broward County, FL) guilty of opening ballots by herself behind closed doors in violation of the law prohibiting the opening of ballots by a solitary election official.

A “none of the above” choice on the ballot would end the “undervote” possibility for cheating after the election. This is why it will never be a choice.
