      Your bias is showing.

      This is you in another thread.

      Btw, Trump didn’t just make it up about the MSM lying. It’s pretty obvious to anyone willing to venture outside the MSM bubble. Things like the Russia hoax, the burying of the Hunter laptop story, waiting until campaign season to bring every case they’ve got and then saying it’s not political, or spending 3 years telling everyone the border is secure and closed, refusing to say certain words or phrases such as illegal alien, and anytime someone calls them out on something they just tell everyone you’re a racist MAGA supporter, etc. are all examples of the fake news that Trump talks about.

      Bolded for emphasis.

      You have drank way too much of the Kool aid, bud. Trump isn’t gonna let you suck his dick.

      Unsurprising, yet predictable. There was not, in fact, any confirmation of fraud committed in the events of that story. Republicans remain opposed to, well, whatever they’re told to oppose; petty concerns such as empirical evidence have no meaning to them.

        Here you go bud, here’s a video that shows the fraud taking place and that’s just one short video they show. I watched all of the video on Epoch Time. A judge even ordered a redo in the election because of it. Video showed that 420 people put 1200+ ballots in the ballot boxes and this case has also caused lawmakers to write up a bill to increase election security in CT.

          Don’t bother. Without any details about the ballots, this means literally nothing. I’m not wasting any more of my time on such rage bait. Heck, I’ll bet money it was Republicans doing it just cause they were that afraid of losing.

          You may feel free to ignore my account; I certainly won’t be noticing yours anymore!

      Leading up to the Sept. 12 primary election, 420 people cast 1,255 absentee ballots at four drop boxes, the Deseret News reported. Under Connecticut law, absentee votes must be delivered either by relatives and caregivers or sent by mail, but surveillance footage shows a woman on Ganim’s campaign staff, allegedly Wanda Geter-Pataky, stuffing a ballot box with white envelopes.

      As long as the votes are cast by registered voters, this just sounds like a stupid law that should be done away with, not a fraud issue.

        It’s definitely fraud if you have a person filling out ballots in other people’s names without them knowing about it. How is that not fraud?

          You’re jumping to conclusions. How many of those people were dropping off their and their spouses (or adult children, or whathaveyou) ballots? Is it really necessary for all of them to not only go to the drop box, but also get out of the car and place it into the slot themselves? Is that what’s keeping us from freedom?

        Lol, it’s not a lie. There’s literally more than 100 news reports and articles about it and most would argue that ballot box stuffers are the enemies of democracy

          Your failed fuhrer copied that lie from his hero hitler. It’s a bald faced lie, proven absolutely false in 30 some court cases.

          Magats are the enemies of democracy full stop.

          They’re attacking our constitution every chance they get, trying to overthrow any election they can stick their grubby thieving paws in.

      Ironic a bootlicker like you would choose a revered individual like Cincinnatus as your handle.

      we’re left with no choice but to start using it

      What exactly does that mean? You have no choice but to use it to also commit fraud since you believe that’s the reason it’s used? In person poling places exist so it seems another choice exists.
