The whole world is laughing.
“US election results: When will we know who won?” the BBC wondered.
AZCentral.com columnist Jon Gabriel wrote: “Friends in Hungary and Brazil asked how their entire nations can count votes in a few hours, while it takes Arizona a week or longer.”
As of early Friday afternoon, America’s voting system has devolved from a global beacon of democracy to an international punchline. A bright neon sign warns: “Don’t try this at home.”
Mechanical breakdowns, baffling “ballot dumps,” and inexplicable pauses in tabulation have buried the Arizona and Nevada senatorial and gubernatorial results in sand.
Alaska has soiled itself with a new, needless, and odious rank-choice-voting process. Rather than Tuesday’s top vote-getter winning the Senate seat, Republicans Lisa Murkowski, Kelly Tshibaka, Buzz Kelley, and Democrat Patricia Chesboro are mired in a glacial redistribution of each losing candidate’s votes to those ranked higher. This ballot buffoonery could continue for weeks.

The whole world is laughing at the idiot Americans who forgot how to hold a fair and honest election. I’m embarrassed as hell about what the RATS have done to my country. Most of them aren’t even Americans. They’re foreign freeloaders and criminals.
Democracy was at stake. Democracy is toast.
No more mail in balloting.

Question is, What are you going to do about it personally?
Notice there is no “We” in my question.
I’m going Galt by the use of passive aggression.
I’m not physically able to go “Kinetic”.
or I might do so.
For now If I see something, I’ll say nothing.
I’ll make the taxman work for her( they are really all Karens) money.
No cooperating at all with any government agent - not even against Domestic Terrorists(AKA White men).
It’s not a joke. Why do conservatives call what is an atrocity ... a joke?
Dems never do this.
It’s not an embarrassment, it’s fraud carried out under cover of a political and bureaucratic monster on purpose, right in your face. Question it and the entire power apparatuses of the federal government and its Mockingbird media will destroy you. That’s what Crossfire Hurricane and the January 6th show was all about.
The Dems have totally gamed the voting process to their advantage.
We are told that the delays come from voting ‘reforms’ and they have. If you allow mail-in voting, then votes have to be postmarked by election day, but can take days or a week or even longer to be delivered. Mail-in/absentee ballots with fatal errors like non-matching signatures are allowed to be ‘cured’ and the curing takes time. Expecting election-night results is so old-fashioned and discriminates against those who cannot follow written instructions like ‘sign and date your ballot’.
And this new and better system allows ballots to be ‘discovered’ tucked away in a closet or someone’s car trunk.
It’s amazing that illiterate people in India can haul themselves to the polls, present their ‘racist’ voter ID cards, have a thumb or finger dipped in ink, and vote their choice on a paper ballot. But such practices are beyond the pale in democrat-controlled states.
A total understatement!
Dems are trying to shove the ranked voting into Nevada.
State law here says it has to PASS 2 times before it can be implemented.
We have enough fraud here. Don’t need any more complications.
That the problem with Republicans. They all love to climb up on a soap box and flap their jaws with their earthshattering “breaking” announcements and that’s as good as it ever gets. Nobody does anything about it. They just tell everybody about various little piles of dogsh*t they found and then pat themselves on the back for sharing it with everybody. In 2020, everybody was shouting about releasing the Kraken. I never saw no Kraken. Just a bunch of Kraken flatulence. They’re starting it again right now. Just more crap for the FIB clowns to do.
I agree that's the solution. But how to get that enacted and implemented? The Supreme Court declined to hear the Pennsylvania case.

Answer: When enough ballots (not votes) have been found to elect somebody.
People forget that Democracy is not a political system, but a process which, in the USA, was exemplified by fair and honest elections.
But, alas, that went by the board in 1960 with Mayor Daley who rigged the Chicago vote to elect JFK.
must happen in each state ... it’s up to them ... gotta win there ...
You are correct. The United States is looking like a joke. Worst voting system in almost any representative republic.
It may seem funny or cute to the beneficiaries of our system but it has serious ramifications on America’s ability to be seen as a world leader.
Sorry, our “leaders” cannot just puff up and declare themselves leaders of the free world.
• Make Election Day a national holiday. Election Day voting only.
• Polls operate for 24 hours—midnight to midnight Eastern time—and open and shut simultaneously nationwide. Voters should not be swayed by results in states with earlier precinct closures.
• Voter rolls must be cleaned frequently and by the registration deadline: two weeks before Election Day.
• No more mass mail-in ballots. No ballot harvesting.
• Limit absentee ballots to the sick, infirm, and those who will be absent on Election Day. Must applied for in advance.
• Voters must show photo ID.
• Paper ballots only, which must be maintained for a physical audit trail. No electronic vote selection, or storage on USB drives.
• Full chain of custody of ballots certified by representatives of all parties.
• No ballot counting without witnesses.
• All ballots must be counted within 24 hours. Election officials who fail are held accountable.
• Totals reported may not exceed ballots cast. Hand-audit until it does (fraud vitiates everything).
• Periodic review of voter rolls. If officials won’t clean out the fraud, crowdsource it with public voter rolls.
What the Democrats have done is worse than simply stealing an election. They have completely discredited the system.
