So, during the 2016 election I know someone who voted at their precinct and was given an already filled out ballet – for the Ds. We've both wished MANY times we had better documented it then, but we didn't know any better. Anyway, this got me thinking today even more...
- This was in a solid red state (Alabama).
- Was in a solid red county.
- We've always heard about "people being bussed in" for elections around here. Mainly the small town/city elections. Call it conspiracy theory, but people have seen it.
Anyway, I wonder how many of these "blue" areas are really that blue? I wonder how many mayors actually won their races? The D run areas are some of the absolute worst in the state. Why would people continually vote for a failure?
I'm ready for our state to have an audit. Not just for presidency (tho that, too), but for the entire down ballot people and constitutional amendments. And not just for the blue parts, either.
Finally, the next election that rolls around we better be out working the polling locations and ensuring there's no funny business. Probably what's convicted me most is the lack of involvement I, and people I know, have in working at these places. For my state, here's the requirements: https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/become-poll-worker
Yup every state. I don’t care if your dem or Republican black white green or blue who give a flying fuck. What I do care about is honestly and fairness. This country is slowly falling apart. Damn the world realistically is. Might as well scorch earth this mofo and start cleaning up the crap along the way. Starting with who is really supposed to be calling the shots sounds like a good starting point to me. Not those that were installed.
And have been installed for a long time......
