I do not agree with vesting more power in the president.
There is not a problem on a scale that would be necessary to impact the outcome of a statewide election in the United States, including that of a presidential election. In other words, there is not a problem of systemic fraud. Top U.S. security officials have consistently stated, and then reiterated, that a mass hack to alter voting results would be nearly impossible because of the United States' decentralized voting system and the availability of fail-safes, such as provisional ballots.Exactly. Thanks for making my point. It's been an issue for many years yet many in here pretend like it's suddenly not a problem. They say "Let's fix something that's not broke"

Extensive research conducted by non-profit organizations such as the Brookings Institute and the Brennan Center reveal that fraud in United States' elections is very rare. Voter impersonation is virtually non-existent and it is easily detected when isolated, lone wolf incidents do occur. Most instances of alleged fraud which are uncovered are, in fact, the result of honest mistakes by voters and/or administrators. The same is true for mail-in ballots.
The Brennan Center's seminal report "The Truth About Voter Fraud" conclusively demonstrated that most allegations of fraud turn out to be baseless, and that most of the few remaining allegations reveal irregularities and other forms of election misconduct. Numerous other studies including one commissioned by the Trump administration, have reached the same conclusion.
No, the fact that that people have talked about making sure elections are secure (duh), including before 2020, is not proof that the 2020 election was not secure. But that's how the quotes are being spun here.Exactly. Thanks for making my point. It's been an issue for many years yet many in here pretend like it's suddenly not a problem.

When I was working we'd have managers look at the break in the steel and say, "how much longer can we run it like this" and the occasional "that's a risk I'm willing to take"..... until stuff broke and cost even more downtime and then someone would get thrown under the bus. I just love managers and politicians.There was nothing wrong with the I-40 bridge in Memphis either ... until somebody else took a look at it. There's absolutely a difference in going through the motions and actually investigating. It's not at all surprising that nobody has found evidence of election wrongdoing ... they've never really looked.
The only significant election fraud happen in America is being conducted by select red state legislatures.There is not a problem on a scale that would be necessary to impact the outcome of a statewide election in the United States, including that of a presidential election.

That is dead wrong. I just cited two independent, non-profit organizations (Brookings Institute and the Brennan Research Center) who have exhaustively researched the security of voting and the legitimacy of election outcomes in the United States over the last 20 years. A wide array of scholars, research analysts, IT experts and statisticians have written tomes on the subject of fraud in western democracy. Their work is available on the internet, and easy to find. They all reach the same general conclusion concerning widespread voting fraud in American elections. It hasn't happened since 2002, and it is not likely to happen in the present or near future either. You are trying to frame this as a neglected or overlooked topic when it's far from it.It's not at all surprising that nobody has found evidence of election wrongdoing ... they've never really looked.
But there was enough foreign interference to swing 2016 Trump’s way according to Dems. Can’t have it both ways.There is not a problem on a scale that would be necessary to impact the outcome of a statewide election in the United States, including that of a presidential election.

Exactly. The last thing that Donald Trump wanted to talk about from November 8, 2016 until November 3, 2020 was the possibility that his victory over Hillary Clinton was the complete result of something other than his own popularity and magnetism, combined with the ingenious campaign that he had run. Trump didn't want to hear a word about the possibility of voter fraud or potential foreign interference. He only cares now because he lost.I wasn't one of them and you cannot compare the two situations. Democrats moved on after the loss and acknowledged the loss. And I don't recall you saying anything about fixing the broken system when your guy won.

That goes against the Trump philosophy of marketing and brand-building:The most effective leaders are the last to take any credit and the first to accept any blame.
Seriously man. That has been said by Dems and MSM many times. Google it yourself. It’s not hard. I’m pretty sure Hillary said it not too long ago and that was posted in response to you not that long ago. You have selective memory. And I never said you said that.I've never said that. Which democrats said that? When you make an allegation, be specific with who you are referring to.
Or there’s the Biden plan.That goes against the Trump philosophy of marketing and brand-building:
(1) Hyperbole isn't lying. Do it frequently.
(2) Take full credit for anything you can... even if it's for something unrelated to your job, such as no plane crashes.
(3) Never admit fault or guilt.
(4) Never apologize, especially to an adversary or nemesis.
(5) When you have been proven wrong on something, double down on your initial claim, and then re-tool that claim just enough to make it seem like you had been taken out of context initially. Then triple down on it. Trump is a master at this.
Just as I suspected. You're full of $hit, and can't name anybody.Seriously man. That has been said by Dems and MSM many times. Google it yourself. It’s not hard.

Ok buddy. Whatever you say. I can’t figure out if your head is in the sand or your own azz but either way it’s in the dark. What’s funny is I literally gave you a name right after what you bolded but you’re either too stupid to read or too lazy. Perhaps both.Just as I suspected. You're full of $hit, and can't name anybody.
