Voting Machines and sexism, that's how the Republicans did it in 2016 and 2024.

Every man in existence began their life as a female egg, making misogynists self-haters.
…and we know how that turned out.

If you had to cure your ballot and are a Republican, raise your hand… No?! Not one? OK, now how about those Democrats!

2016—the Republicans stole Trump’s first win.

2020—Republicans thought they stole his second. Mail-in ballots were up from a little over 20% of the voting, to a little over 40%. They hadn't considered the pandemic in their plans.

2024—Many mail-in ballots kicked back for curing, mine included…

I voted by absentee ballot in a Republican-run county (why is the county clerk/elector a partisan position, anyhow?!!) and my ballot had to be cured. I got it back in time, but how many didn't?

Republicans have been kicking back/not counting my ballot for at least the last three federal elections.
Republicans made almost universal gains in mail voting during the 2024 election, eroding a key Democratic advantage in nearly every state that tracks party registration, according to a data analysis by The New York Times.
Despite Trump’s Attacks, Republicans Made Big Gains in Mail Voting
As Republican voters embraced a practice that Donald J. Trump railed against for years, softening his tone only slightly in 2024, the party eroded a key Democratic advantage across the country.

Nevada needs revised signatures from 13,000 voters… CO may be next.

After leaving CA in 2005 I stopped in CO for a few years, so that’s where I absentee vote.

My 2024 ballot—which I sent in last week—also has signature issues. It will be counted if I send the revised signature to them by the 13th.

As a Canadian, I don’t want to wake up tomorrow next to a country led by a lunatic; as an American, I hope the Democrats get to the bottom of all of the illegal ways Trump/the Republicans/the rabid, religious right have used to steal an election… [hopefully not] again.

Female Republicans are already responsible for helping take away the reproductive rights of women all over the country. Elect Trump again, who will he and his “Inferior Court” take civil rights from next?

They won't be rich, white, male or Christian, will they?

I took a look at ‘X’ the other day, and my feed was so full of right-wingers and convoyers that I finally decided to do the thing I've been putting off for so long… I went off to find the new Twitter. Thank you for continuing your legacy—sorry, that sounds cheesy, but I'd be lost without U—thanks! 😀
