Mark Zuckerberg: ‘Nothing Illegitimate’ About Election Taking ‘Additional Days, or Even Weeks’
breutbart ^ | 9/8/20 | Lucas Nolan

Posted on 09/08/2020 3:25:49 PM PDT by Mozilla

In a recent interview with Axios on HBO, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg urged the media to assure the public that there was “nothing illegitimate” about waiting days or even weeks to tabulate the results of the upcoming presidential election.

“You said on election day it’s over, but it well might not be, right?” Axios asked Zuckerberg who replied: “I think the dynamic that you’re talking about is really important, which is that we may not know the final result on election night.”

Zuckerberg went on to add: “One of the things that I think we and other media need to start doing is preparing the American people that there’s nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days, or even weeks to make sure that all of the votes are counted. In fact, that might be important to make sure that this is a legitimate and fair election.”

Election Day should only be one day and should be in person. All votes should be tabulated immediately. Paper ballots only. Verified registered US citizens ONLY. Vote ONCE! No late, or lost and found ballots allowed.

It is called Election Day for a reason

Not Election week month or 1/4.
This is BS

Especially if you don’t mind all the cheating the Dems will do.

Just another outlet for ballot harvesting.

I can’t imagine Zuck saying that if a Dem was likely to win. Then he would say that there’s no reason the results should be delayed.

We all know what’s going on here.

Now is the time for Trump to shut of their cheap labor visa pipeline since it is obvious that Big Tech wants to take him down.

They’re scared to death. So they’re settling up a conspiracy in front of our very eyes.

Here is a case for a constitutional amendment.

We have got to push it AFTER we make GD sure that we take all the branches of government. That means ALL branches.

11 Aug: Vox: Kamala Harris is the choice Joe Biden needed to win over Silicon Valley
The California senator has glad-handed with tech elites for decades.
By Theodore Schleifer
One particularly close bond for Harris has been with Democratic mega-donor ***Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire philanthropist and wife of the late Steve Jobs. When Powell Jobs was invited to speak at the annual Code Conference in 2017, she brought Harris along with her.
“I thought you would find it more interesting” than having just herself, Powell Jobs remarked onstage. On Tuesday, she tweeted that Biden had “made a great choice!”...

“As senator from California, Kamala Harris was understandably aligned with Big Tech,” said McNamee (a Silicon Valley investor). “As vice president, she has an opportunity to stand up for all Americans.”
Some activists are concerned that her personal ties to tech companies will temper serious regulations. Harris’s campaign manager for her first race for district attorney, for example, now runs the California state policy shop at Google. And Tony West, her brother-in-law, is the general counsel of Uber, where her niece worked until recently.

***Harris also has connections at Facebook, a company at the burning core of Democrats’ ire these days. She has enjoyed a particularly cozy relationship with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg over the years, helping Sandberg market her book Lean In. Sandberg also sent her a congratulatory note when she won her Senate seat in 2016, as the HuffPost detailed...

She also tried at one point to get tough on Twitter, calling on founder Jack Dorsey to ban President Trump from the platform. That didn’t go anywhere — and Harris dropped out thereafter...

How is it that the U.K. can manage to have their ballots nearly all counted election night (or early the next morning)? This idea that we need to wait weeks reeks of elections in the third world.

Please explain to Zuckerberg that this is not Venezuela. If a state can’t provide their results of the election within 24 hours after election day it should be left out.

Agreed. In person. With ID and purple ink finger dip. Students should be checked in both their home states and in the state where they are attending school. As should snowbirds.

Zuckerberg discussed how Facebook plans to facilitate that stating: “So, we’re going to do a bunch of different messaging around that, just to make sure that people know that that’s normal.

So, Mr. I'm-just-a-platform is going to publish content?
