Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Read the article. These aren’t dispassionate citizens doing their civic duty, these are folks going in with a preset agenda to sow chaos.

What's wrong with preventing election fraud? If anything, wouldn't having Conservative Christians be part of the count not reassure people that fraud isn't taking place? Or am I too British to understand
I suspect you are too British to understand why we are so fucked over here. My British friend and my Canadian friends have much the same problem.
Team Pepe (Trump's team) are on a holy mission to beat the Devil out of US politics. To be clear, the Devil is the Democratic Party. This is not hyperbole. One of the largest factions behind Trump is the QAnon faction, that literally believes Democrats are baby-eating, baby-fucking Satan worshippers that meet in the basement of a pizza parlour that has no basement and plan the Satanic takeover of all of society.
In pursuit of this 'existential battle of Good vs. Evil', complete with capital letters, anything is permissible. It's a holy war to them, and we're the satanic hoards coming to take their way of life from them. They aren't here to prevent possible election fraud. They are absolutely sure that there is election fraud because we are the Devil, and the Devil cheats. They're here to make sure none of us votes because none of our votes are legitimate in their eyes. They don't care that we're legally entitled to vote. If we win on Election Day, it's because the Devil cheated, not because more people said they want us than Team Pepe.
I hope this clears things up for you.
Tbf I have seen leftists on here talk about worshipping Satan and how great they think Satan is
This is tongue in cheek and reactionary to Christians overstepping bounds. The satanic temple, for example, doesn't actually believe in Satan.
