You just ignored the main thrust of my point. Even if the elections were all ran exactly the way you say it wouldnt matter. Dominion machines spit out paper ballots and still half the country is under the impression that dominion somehow hacked the votes and flipped thousands or hundreds of thousands. These people wouldnt accept the results no matter what unless trump had won.

“the theme was why vote nothing ever changes”

This has gotten to be my feelings.I’m 72 and voted every election for 50 years,except when Edwin Edwards ran against David Duke.I skipped that one.
Thing is no matter who is governor nothing ever gets any better, Louisiana just keeps getting worse.

I voted for Landry but if there hadn’t been local elections I probably would have skipped it.Really not worth the gas to drive to the voting place.

What happens?

You're living in the Post Constitutional - Post Truth era.

Every major US institution has been corrupted, politicized and made untrustworthy by those who seek wealth, power and political influence.

No, I got.ypur point.

My point is decentralization. This is the only way you can kill the possibility of a wide net conspiracy. You made a get a few small precinct vote rigging activities, that could be isolated and cracked down on. But you would no longer be concerned about the chances of a centralized control of the process.

You have people show up in person and vote, and this wnsures two things:

1) People who are real people and citizens are voting

2) The people who are voting are engaged enough to actually take the time to come down and vote. In lieu of some crackhead or illegal immigrant who is not interested in the process, but could be persuaded with free cell phones, etc

If you don't believe in elections, HOW do you suggest we decide on things?

Most of the rational adults believe that elections matter and are not rigged. They also know that candidates they don’t like sometimes win. I just saw it happen in Louisiana. Nothing was rigged. Misinformed voters just voted differently than I.


Sometimes the other person wins...but then claim those that DIDN'T vote how you did are "misinformed"?

You do realize that what you just posted is complete and total BS right? 70% believe the election was not legit. You are lying and know it. If we want BS broadcast on here we will rattle your cage.


Please explain how ONLY the POTUS race was the "faulty" election on the SAME MACHINES used for other races.
You would think that if one contest was faulty on that machine, ALL contests were faulty.


That's like arguing a vending machine charges you the wrong price on pretzels, but all others are correct.

So, you're wanting to know the voting of EVERY person on EVERY race...including who you selected?

Would you still argue if the people you chose didn't win?

No, you really didn't.

Let's take Arizona as an example.

There was a group of people voting on election day in Maricopa County. This county uses paper ballots filled out by hand. Arizona also has a voter ID law, so everyone showed voter ID that day.

Even with this, a bunch of stupid nutjobs started claiming that workers were handing out sharpies to trump voters so that the machines wouldn't count their votes. They started sharing a warning from a ballot on twitter that clearly stated that sharpies shouldn't be used because the machines have trouble reading them.

Come to find out, the ballots on twitter were from a completely different county with different machines. The machines in Maricopa work fine with sharpies and they actually prefer sharpies because it dries quickly.

So all of this trouble was caused by a bunch of morons that just believe everything they read on twitter even if it's completely fake. And you still to this day have people claiming that sharpies stole the election. None of them have even stopped to think "well how would they know who is a trump voter so that they could only hadn't sharpies to trump voters?"

Trump supporters were going to claim that the election was stolen no matter what if he lost.

Do you have a rational explanation for all the BS that happened?

Start with this.

I tried to convince the people in my office section to go vote for Louisiana's recent primary.

Of the seven - One voted , one said why - it's rigged, one said I'll wait for the real one in November.

There's a lot of rigging of our elections. Gerrymandering favors incumbency, and certain candidates have a disproportionate amount of cash on hand to spend on elections. These are all attempts to "rig" the election and it's done by both parties. Louisiana is flagrantly violating a SCOTUS order to redraw their district map. New York had to be ordered to redraw their map as well.

Ok. Lets start with that.

Workers covered up a window so that people outside couldn't record the opening of mail in ballots and record private voter information. They were still allowed to watch from other windows further away where that concern didn't exist. Reportedly, there were hundreds of watchers from both parties and reporters inside the room already.

So exactly how did a small poster being placed over some windows steal the election?

Those aren't the only 2 with biased gerrymandered voting maps.

Yeah what do you mean when I don’t trust them now and won’t ever vote again. Not under the current fraudulent system. I can’t see why anyone would feel differently
