Midterms free of feared chaos as voting experts look to 2024

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.

And, let’s not ignore the obvious. It’s kinda like abusing a kid. Do it all the time and they think it is normal, and never talk about it.

So long as mailin and ballot harvesting is allowed, no election is honest. Not “fair”, F** fair. HONEST!

The commie trash have won.

The fools in the AP were told there might be a civil war... “everyone was so polarized”.

And the fools in the AP believed. Believed. Believed.

Then the fools in the AP were told lots of people were going to split their ticket... vote for a Republican and then democrats. (Yep the ‘civil war’ so ‘polarized’ (crazies) citizens were going to vote for BOTH democrats and Republicans)

And the fools in the AP believed. Believed. Believed.

It never occurred to AP fools that these positions are mutually exclusive. And that both lies set up bad stuff... and one was cover for voter fraud.

No, no - they believed whatever fell from the mouths of white liberal ‘elites’...
