Midterms free of feared chaos as voting experts look to 2024
apnews ^ | 11/25/2022

Election officials warned about poll watchers who had been steeped in conspiracy theories falsely claiming that then-President Donald Trump did not actually lose the 2020 election. Democrats and voting rights groups worried about the effects of new election laws, in some Republican-controlled states, that President Joe Biden decried as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Law enforcement agencies were monitoring possible threats at the polls.

Yet Election Day, and the weeks of early voting before it, went fairly smoothly. There were some reports of unruly poll watchers disrupting voting, but they were scattered. Groups of armed vigilantes began watching over a handful of ballot drop boxes in Arizona until a judge ordered them to stay far away to ensure they would not intimidate voters. And while it might take months to figure out their full impact, GOP-backed voting laws enacted after the 2020 election did not appear to cause major disruptions the way they did during the March primary in Texas.

“The entire ecosystem in a lot of ways has become more resilient in the aftermath of 2020,” said Amber McReynolds, a former Denver elections director who advises a number of voting rights organizations. “There’s been a lot of effort on ensuring things went well.”

Even though some voting experts’ worst fears didn’t materialize, some voters still experienced the types of routine foul-ups that happen on a small scale in every election. Many of those fell disproportionately on Black and Hispanic voters.

The Ass. Press has always supported and defended voter fraud by the far left Marxists.

I'm not surprised. It's 95% lies and opinion.

Free of chaos?

Arizona begs to differ.

Why? The news is 100% aligned to the left agenda. If AP pushes this story, it only means “the left wants you to stop looking at our blatant fraud and be ready to support our next Current Thing.”

IOW...

AP is saying that, because the democrats did not suffer devastating losses, and democrats came out relatively unscathed, there was no voter fraud.

But, the voter fraud is evident via the results. Democrats were expected to lose a lot of seats in the house and perpahs 4 or 5 senate seats, but ‘somehow’, democrats pulled out ‘wins’ where they were expected to lose.

And, Trump did ‘win’ in 2020, but again, ‘somehow’, democrats pulled out a ‘win’. The ‘somehow’ is where fraud can be found. But, democrats have a lot of people protecting them from investigations of their methods that have them ‘winning’ where they should have lost.

Sure is wonderful that America needs voting experts. People who can’t qualify for real jobs need something to do for a living.

“Experts.”

Ok, who are these people?

“Experts say” is one of the most misused phrases in (so-called) journalism.

Who opens all of these avenues to fraud and then calls you names for noticing?

-All Mail-in ballots,

-Voting season vs. Election Day,

-Refusal to clean up voter rolls,

-No voter I.D.,

-Same Day voter registration,

-Automatic voter registration as 'Unaffiliated' when you get your Driver's License,

-Ballot counting allowed to drag out for a week or more after the election,

-Outlawing video at ballot drop boxes or restricting public view of the video proving ballot harvesting,

-Pretending vote counting machines are secure and outlawing audits that would prove they're not.

free of feared chaos

IOW, operation Steal 2022 was a success. Dead voted in some dead candidates, stole some key races and installed into the Sinate a guy with no brain.

Make no mistake, there was fraud in every single one of the 50 states, the only difference between states is the degree to which the fraud hides - some blatantly obvious (PA, AZ, GA), and some just baked into the mix of so-called "blue" states like MA (DJT Republican pick for Gov won the legal vote, but "lost" anyway).

Seeing an article deteriorate to leftist mush in the first sentence. Anything else in this pi$$-yellow jourNOlism is equally communist propaganda.

Chaos-free? How so? Have they even declared the governor’s race in Arizona, yet?
