It was Election Day last November, and one of Georgia’s top election officials saw that reports of a voting machine problem in an eastern Pennsylvania county were gaining traction online.
So Gabriel Sterling, a Republican who had defended the 2020 election in Georgia amid an onslaught of threats, posted a message to his nearly 71,000 followers on the social platform X explaining what had happened and saying that all votes would be counted correctly.
He faced immediate criticism from one commenter about why he was weighing in on another state’s election while other responses reiterated false claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.
If voting machine errors were random and sometimes helped the Left or the Right, I would say fix them. But since the errors always benefit the Left, I say back to paper ballots, no mail in, no early voting, want an absentee ballot, explain to a judge, and fill it out right there.

First of all you don't count votes. You count ballots. Once a fraudulent ballot has been introduced into the system and illegally counted, it's over. No matter how many times you count and recount you get the same (fraudulent) total. This is what the Democrats and their RINO apologists are deliberately ignoring. Trump is nobody's fool.

Those uniting are either responsible for elections and defending themselves, or democrats wearing an R button to get elected.
Bottom line: If the voters don't trust the method, it needs to be improved! PAPER BALLOTS!!!

Ballot integrity is not a feature of mailed ballots.

Rino opposition to shining some light on election fraud! We still remember seeing suitcases full of ballots pulled from under a table and ballots being scanned multiple times after observers had been removed because of a "water leak in a bathroom". We also have seen the evidence of massive ballot stuffing at drop boxes. I saw a video in which a Dominion salesman was demonstrating the ability to adjust the counts in their machines. That was touted as a feature, not a weakness. I like early voting if it is done with the same full safeguards as the election day voting. Early voting here in Texas is fully staffed and monitored just like the voting at the same locations on election day. The way to assure people of election integrity is to clean the election rolls, enforce proper monitored elections, deny mail-in ballots except for members of the military and eliminate ballot drop boxes. We sometimes enforce clean elections overseas for other countries (remember the purple fingers of voters in Iraq?) but we tolerate fraud in the USA.

We can go all the way back to the Bush/Gore election when a State Highway Patrolman was seen lifting boxes of ballots from the trunk of his car. By the way, Rush Limbaugh showed why there was 'hanging chads.' Too many ballots being punched at one time.

"... reiterated false claims ... "
They love to say, "Every case was dismissed by courts..."
So, officially, neither true nor false.
Who you gonna believe?
Me, or your own lyin' eyes?

The ass press saying that the claims of fraud were false .
The election was stolen and it was a planned steal, that was the real insurrection.

Philadelphia. Dominion. An even 300,000 vote glitch in a city that has been cheating for the democrat candidate since before the Liberty Bell cracked.

1984 speak. This is the AP.
So... they are trying to protect the Swamp from the voters? They can try... If they do, there is another word that rhymes with 'try', that may happen. There is only ONE valid way to hold an election: In person, one voter, one vote, on one day with paper ballots. The ballots must be immediately sequestered and sealed until counting. There must be ARMED representatives of each party, watching the counting process and ready to interfere with force, if fraud is detected.
Anyone found guilty of voter fraud should face the Death Penalty. The same goes for anyone who influences someone to commit voter fraud.
The AP continues their narrative that the 2020 election was fine and dandy. The evidence, whether judges and politicians refuse to act on it, says otherwise. We the People will not be ignored or thwarted!

The headline and the source of the article told me all I needed to know. And, I was right.

Quite a few states seem committed to honest voting.
I note that Pennsylvania seems disinterested in participating in this effort.

Gabriel Sterling is no more a Republican than I am a princess warrior. He blocked every effort to challenge the hijinks that went on in Fulton and other counties and was not even a state employee at the time. Despite dozens of eye witnesses and affidavits confirming the illegal activities, he insisted - without any investigation whatsoever - that everything was on the up and up. He is Brad Raffensperger's mouthpiece and nothing more. He is part of the RINO group of SOS from various red states resisting any form of election integrity reform.

OK, L-Dotters!
What name using the initials 'AP' accurately describe this lying 'news' outfit?
I have been using 'Advocacy Press', but I would like to find something stronger, that emphasizes how this bunch LIE for the Democ'RATS.
Any ideas?
Chip in!

Ridiculous article. We shouldn't question election results. Tell that to Stacy Adams, Hellary Clinton and Al Gore.

These RINO's need to explain why election procedures were changed to oppose all the recommendations of the Baker Carter Commission on Elections.
