Cuz, you know. The 2020 election was the most secure ever or sumthin'.

This is old news, only now it looks like charges are actually proceeding.

Wait, wait wait. Is'nt this the same bunch that told us cheating was impossible in the 2020 election?

I know hacking is illegal. What laws are there against disinformation?

"I know hacking is illegal. What laws are there against disinformation?"

I'm with you. But according to Dim logic based on all the scare mongering from years of "Trump Russia klewsion!" even the slightest bit of PR manipulation from Russia (such as buying a few ads on Facebook, allegedly) is tantamount to foreign interference in our elections.

I put some numbers together on how massive the cheating was in the battleground states.

15,157,659 (2020) - 12,097,016 (2016)= A 3,060,643 Dem Voter Participation Gain in the 7 Battleground States, up 25% as opposed to the normal 2-3% gain. Biden beat Obama in every black community in the nation.

Before anyone says well they had more mail-in voters, of course they did, that’s how they cheated! They dumped around 500,000 extra votes in most states except two (those dumps happened early morning in a few hour span). The two left they only added a few hundred thousand.

Great post!

It is the responsibility of the voter to be informed, to be able to filter the information available and make rational decisions. It is not the responsibility of the government to pre-digest the information available.
The only way a foreign government can possibly interfere with an election, is to physically stop voters from going to the polls.
If a voter believes that Republicans vote on Tuesday and Democrats on Wednesday, the only blame lies with the stupidity of the voter, no one else.

An horrific rape, and the rapist is celebrated and walking free...

[goodnesswins]

Wow

[BushCountry]

Actually kinda funny you say that. Wednesday early morning is when most of the massive voter dumps happened.

I’m with you. See my post #3 that I posted this article because the Dims spent forever saying any PR influence from Russia = Trump/Russia klewsion.

[MAGAthon]

u didn’t get the message - there shall be no scrutiny of the 2020 presidential election. lol.

[daler]

Who would’ve guessed?

They’re finally going after 2020 election fraudsters, claiming they were trying to throw the election to….wait…hang on, now…Trump.

America may indeed be over, folks.

[piasa]

Ah, so they masqueraded as Trump-supporting Proud Boys and threatened Democrats so that it would scare borderline Dems away from considering Trump and get them back into the Democrat fold.
