Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Honestly, most Americans should be worried about fraud. Republicans have spent the last 4 years putting election deniers in key positions of power, purging voters' registrations, and changing laws on how someone can vote and whose vote counts. There are at least 2 Supreme Court Justices that bought into the lie last time and will not hesitate to give the win to Trump if given the opportunity. They tried to fraudulently steal the last one and the same people are still in power. They will try again. The only legal way to stop them is to vote in such high numbers against them that the decision is never sent to Congress or the courts to resolve.

Not to mention gerrymandering and voter intimidation / voter suppression in addition to the purging of rolls that you mentioned which also exist and are in play at all times.

Yea, at this point I kind of assume there will be fraud. I'm more worried that they might succeed or resort to violence.

there will be voter and election fraud.

it will mostly (or entirely) be committed by republicans or on their behalf.

so, basically a repeat episode.

Thank Darwin that their incompetence is only barely surpassed by their ignorance.

Yeah, I’m concerned that republican shitcunt traitors are going to commit fraud. Considering that they’re openly committing fraud and have been since at least the previous election cycle.

What if I'm concerned that one of the candidates is a fraud?

I read that as "Canadians" at first and was like "Ted Cruz isn't Canadian. They disowned him."

I am very concerned about election fraud coming from Republicans and an looking forward to seeing voting fraud stories that Republicans committed again.

I'm worried about fraud in the 2024 election coming FROM Republicans.
