Delayed Results Are Killing Americans’ Trust In Elections

For Americans to trust democracy, states must bring back Election Day — not election weeks.
 
Democrats tried to frame the 2022 midterms as a referendum on Republicans, whom they’ve branded a “threat to democracy,” but the real threat to our nation is how little Americans can trust elections that drag on for days or weeks.
 
Many Americans already have a hard time believing that although nearly 75 percent of voters think the country is on the wrong track, they chose to keep many of the same crises-causing candidates. But assuming that discrepancy can be explained by the Democrats’ get-out-the-vote machine and other factors, Americans have bigger doubts — namely that three days after polls closed, voters still don’t know who controls the House of Representatives and the Senate, nor who will govern several western states. Thanks to complications on Nov. 8 and hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots to tabulate, Arizona and Nevada aren’t expected to deliver their final tabulations until next week.
 
Confidence in our nation’s elections is at an all-time low. Yet swing states with key races now routinely prolong counting for days even though polling strongly suggests that severely undermines the public’s trust in elections.
 
Some states have grown so comfortable with this system that they’ve started to preemptively announce delays, with corporate media going so far as to characterize early Republican leads as a “red mirage” before vote counts even started.
 
“It’s going to take a few days,” Pennsylvania’s Acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman said at a press conference before Election Day. “It doesn’t mean anything nefarious is happening.”
 
Corporate media largely frame this overall decline in trust as a Republican issue, saying it stems from former President Donald Trump’s unjustified anger over the 2020 election, which they say — despite record turnout, mass mail-in balloting, vote delays, and a slew of irregularities in multiple tipping-point states — was the freest and most fair election the country has ever had. But the truth is, voters on both sides of the political aisle despise anxiously awaiting tabulation because they know it opens the door for problems and meddling.
 
Even if this election were as safe and secure as they claim, the fact that it now takes days and possibly weeks to learn who will control the halls of power for the next few years sows reasonable doubt in the minds of Americans. Without a principled and structured system for quick, accurate calculation, confidence in elections plummets.
 
Voters want to know, for instance, how the largest county in the battleground state of Arizona (and the fourth most-populous county in the country) — where the officeholder in charge of running elections is at the top of the Democrats’ gubernatorial ticket — can be rife with problems in election after election. Is an election “rigged” if, after weeks of mail-in balloting, some Election Day voters — which skew largely Republican — are prevented from casting their votes? And what does it do for election integrity when only a few thousand votes trickle in each day following an election, with no clear answer as to why it’s taking so long or when the final tally can be expected? How does a polling place in the swing state of Pennsylvania run out of paper on Election Day? These are valid questions, not conspiracy theories, and they’re the types of concerns that shatter voter confidence.
 
Corporate media, which are guilty of delaying race calls for no good reason, want to blame the nation’s decentralized election systems for the holdup. That doesn’t work, however, when voters recall that Americans in decades past knew who the winners were before their heads hit the pillow at night.

“Trust me.”

Democrats, who don’t believe anything unless it has the Leftist Propaganda Stamp of Approval, expect everyone to take the validity of our elections (which they take every effort to undercut) on faith.

Both Texas and Florida states with significantly larger populations were and are able to report results day off. The only reason to extend the timeframe is to steal the election.

The main reason Florida and Texas can finish their tally in a timely fashion is because they have laws against the standard Democrat election fraud tactics. Cast votes, count votes, announce winners. That’s how it’s done, dumbasses. If you have to goddamn cheat, pick better candidates.

Lying losers like Donald Trump, Kari Lake, and FOX News propagandist Tucker Carlson are methodically killing trust in the process.

Slow methodical counts are accurate counts. The closer the election results, the more important a high degree of accuracy becomes.

Election deniers were claiming any losses of their could only be explained by fraud weeks before election day rolled around.

Total bullshit

BREAKING HUGE: Arizona Election Expert Says Maricopa County Is Underreporting Ballot Count – Lake Campaign Responds!

Arizona election expert Gina Swoboda announced on The Charlie Kirk Show on Friday that there are significantly more votes to be counted in Arzona than was reported.

Swoboda told Charlie Kirk Show that 351,000 GOP voters have not even had their vote tabulated yet.

If any Democratic candidate posted a message like this, you’d treat it as proof positive of electoral malfeasance.

Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, who manages the election process, is a REPUBLICAN.

So
That mean nothing

So is Romney, whats your point?

No, it’s well established that the Democrats and the Deep State cheated in the 2020 election, and were poised to cheat this time around as well.

The Uniparty, including Dems and Reps, have stolen our Republic and the mask was torn off when Trump was duly elected.

Now they are trying to put the mask back on like we will forget.

Trump won, both in 2016 and 2020. The threat is that he’s not part of the Establishment in all it’s forms, either Dem or Rep.

Slow methodical counts are accurate counts. 

And excuse for allowing fraud. We know.

Every American has a duty to reject the results of the AZ elections, and many others that had obviously fraud.

Fetterman won nothing, and should be treated as such. Due to Trump, the GOP has won the House and Senate…but this isn’t something the Uniparty wants.

They’ve lost control and they know it.

“The Uniparty”

You’re just repeating the words and phrases of your MAGA opinion-providers here. You lot are as guilty of that as anyone on the Left you’ve accused of something similar.

You just keep voting for the party that crashed and burned the Golden State.

Miss Greater Derry was not crowned in California. Yet another swing and a miss by kitt.

A miss? The deep red State of New Hampshire.
The last time New Hampshire went red was in 2000. Is a state that’s voted blue in every presidential election for 20 years

michael’s got nothing. He posts deflective nonsense because he’s a coward.

A gutless, gay, beta-male coward who has no bearing on the world or it’s direction.

This is all he’s got. We’re his family.

Since when is New Hampshire the “Golden State”? Yes: a miss.

Miss(ter) Greater Derry is an abomination and must be pulled from this sham contest, and shamed into hitting the gym and not being a pussy.

LGBT is both a harbinger and invitation for societal collapse.

No, the reality of the Uniparty existed far before Trump.

You’re just repeating the words and phrases your employer has provided for you, all this “MAGA” nonsense you spew.

Trump and those who vote for him and his movement are not part of the insider political cabal.

That’s a threat to the political cabal…which is why parasites like you show up, to blather on.

It’s not working, michael. This is about control, but…your gods aren’t quite taking the ground they thought they were.

Are they?
