    Americans will no longer dependably vote for Big Bad Government.
    Hence the push to discredit and nullify elections with mail-in voting.

    "Many Americans are expected to vote by mail for the first time in November 2020 because of coronavirus concerns, so "CBS This Morning" sent out 100 mock ballots, simulating 100 voters in locations across Philadelphia, in an experiment to see how long one should give themselves to make sure their vote counts. For the experiment, a P.O. box was set up to represent a local election office. A few days after the initial ballots were mailed, 100 more were sent. "

    "A week after initial ballots were sent, most ballots appeared to be missing from the P.O. box. "I don't see anything back there for you," a postal worker told Dokoupil when he received the mail. "That's all I have back there right now.""
    CBS NEWS, Vote-by-mail experiment reveals potential problems within postal voting system ahead of November election, July 24, 2020.

    If Trump wins, be prepared for what will come from the left.

    Many of them seem to be rooting for a military coup.

    In 2016, there were over 4.1 Million Votes cast in Georgia.

    I doubt if 1,000 votes is going to be any kind of game changer.

    The Entire Narrative (in the OP) reeks of "Hey, Lookie here!" fear-mongering.

    That guy is a pretty good comedian.

    Maybe he can get a gig on Comedy Central.

    Besides, no worries.

    Trump Will LOSE.

    Forgive me, but you seem nervous about that.

    1,000 people across 100 counties? No, it isn't likely that this swayed any election.

    Fake coup concerns? Yet you are lecturing others about "seeming nervous." Cute.

    How many did it take in Florida 2000 to decide the Presidency? How many in 2016 to decide the control of the Virginia statehouse. How many to decide Al Frankenstein would become a Senator and that Bob Dornen would lose his seat.

    When will you guys stop with the canard that it has to be MASSIVE in order to effect the outcome? Small elections are just as important as large elections and their integrity needs even MORE protection because the margins are smaller.

    That's a weird way to spell "truth," but cool beans.

    This is how you define "moving the goal post" First, election fraud doesn't exist, then oh ok fine it exist, but it didn't impact the election

    You seem to struggle with the definitions of words. Dodge noted.

    Read msg #13 and get back to me.

    If you can quote me ever saying that election fraud is completely non-existent, I will quit the forums. Quote me. If you can't, then I'll either accept your apology or you can go on iggy for deliberately misrepresenting my claims. Which will it be?

    I repeat (and feel free to dodge again since you can't address it and insist on blaming your dodges on others): 1,000 people across 100 counties? No, it isn't likely that this swayed any election.

    I was using your post as example of what the left has said. Leftwingers have suggested it doesn't exist

    I'm a libertarian, likely to the right of you on economic issues in particular, I've repeatedly criticized Trump's leftist stances, and I've never claimed that voter fraud doesn't exist at all. Care to discuss this honestly or are you going to keep deliberately misrepresenting?

    To repeat: 1,000 people across 100 counties? No, it isn't likely that this swayed any election.

    Sure...the point if they swayed the election or not isn't relevant to the discussion.....the fact that it was taken place here, in this one election in GA, likely means it's take place in other elections, in GA, and other places

    Sounds to me like Georgia, run by Republicans, needs to get some better voting systems... I've seen the lines they've created the last couple of elections...

    Cue music from Deliverance...

    Where's the evidence that it has ever been enough to sway, say, a presidential election? And I'll repeat: 1,000 people across 100 counties? No, it isn't likely that this swayed any election.
