>hundreds of cases this year in Pennsylvania

This something like an order of magnitude lower than the error margin.

Florida elected George W by 437 votes in 2000.

Al Franken won a senate seat by 312 votes in 2008

A Maine House seat was won by 1 vote in 2024

1 illegal vote is too many.


so, counter-example, one murder of a child by a gun is too many

except there now have been hundreds if not thousands of those murders

the gun argument against regulation is "it's a right and it would bother too many legit rights"

so same energy, "voting is a right and would bother too many legit rights"

there you go

let me know when guns are harder to get than voting

and when child murders by gun are fewer than "illegal votes"

then we can talk

DOJ just ordered teenagers can buy handguns, soon by US mail, good luck with that

do you understand how many billions are being spent on this voter blocking effort?

how many dollars per voter do you want to spend? it's currently hundreds per voter

so find each accidental "illegal vote" is literally costing MILLIONS to find

and there is NOTHING stopping an audit AFTER a close election and reversing the result in courts

but can't undo the child murder, ever


Again, it is the states who administer elections. Full stop. The administration is trying to undermine that. Trump and his allies have already said the Democrats can't be allowed to win.

To say the feds don't have any say in federal elections just is not really true.

Every political party and their allies say their opponents can't be allowed to win, at least the last few election cycles. It's a tired trope that "Trump is going to do xyz thing to stay in power." It's a hysteria cycle, and none of it ever comes true.


No, this isn't what is being said at all.

Yes, people are saying "Trump is trying to stay in power"

That's my best guess at what you're refuting, since I had it in quotes. Otherwise you're just vagueposting on a 4-day old thread. Try being more specific, make a point.
