    Republicans are trying to use the pandemic to rig the election and shut out legitimate votes.

    Have no such fears.

    We must trust the ballot validation process.

    Valid ballots must count.

    Bogus ballots must be thrown out.

    All ballots will be verified prior to being counted.

    That is why we have a ballot validation process.

    Here is the big giant hole in your argument: You refuse to address the question of why valid ballots voted on time should not count.

    Why should valid ballots voted on time not count?

    At some point an election ends and you do not get to keep "finding" votes, even if you really hate the person who won. (And yes, this works both ways).
    If we listen to your debunked canard about votes "found" in trunks of cars, then why couldn't the same happen BEFORE election day? Oh yeah, you know that they come in the mail in sealed ballots, but it's more fun to create fictional scenarios of ballots being dropped off on Nov. 4th via dump truck, you fucking moron.

Where is the in-depth investigative journalism validation of names that got paid to vote? How does she deliver these votes? Where is the follow up? Looks to me like she is just running a scam, collecting money, and then there is no agreement on verifying that the payer got what they paid for. If that really occurred and it is valid, it would be big giant news picked up by the mainstream media. It wasn't. It's like salacious tabloid stuff. There is a reason it is only on that one obscure website.

    Look at what wiki says about it:

    "Project Veritas is an American right-wing activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010.[1][2][3][4] The group uses undercover techniques to reveal supposed liberal bias and corruption[1] and is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations and left-leaning groups.[5][2][6][7][8][9][10] In a 2018 book on propaganda and disinformation in U.S. politics, three Harvard University scholars refer to Project Veritas as a "right-wing disinformation outfit".[11] "

    You fool yourself. You need to do more research on this sham of an organization. O’Keefe is a fraud.

    I've read all the "research" from the left on this already, it's how I know that it is pretense to say that is is fraud. While he is sensationalist, and does edit his reports like everybody else or every news story would be at least hours long, he really does catch these folks saying what they say.

    If that happens as you say it is a legitimate concern. And if it does, it will be in the mainstream news. I remain confident that our election will not come down to a box of unverified ballots. Only certified ballots should be counted, and all certified ballots should be counted as long as they were voted prior to the deadline for voting.

    It hits the news as part of a lawsuit where they are suing to count the ballots found in the back of some lady's car... Then the leftist judge appointed by Bill Ritter rules they get to count them and the story dies there without any curiosity from the news. This is the "keep counting until we win" strategy in motion. It happens all the time. It's what you have happening during almost any recount everywhere.

    Why would somebody who is clearly doing something illegal (selling votes) allow herself to be videoed doing it?

    She is careful enough to stipulate that all payments must in in cash (like some kind of big drug deal,) but she has no problem being videoed by somebody riding in her car with her?

    It makes zero sense.

    Where is the mainstream news story about her being arrested for selling votes?

    There isn't one because it is a bogus vid.

    Baseless fearmongering. Just because Republican operatives call something "keep counting until we win" doesn't mean Democrats said that.

    This goes back to selective information sources. Confirmation bias.

    It is absurd to believe what Republicans SAY Democrats said over what Democrats ACTUALLY SAID.

    Democrats don't put words into the mouths of Republicans. All Democrats have to do is quote Republicans directly and respond.

    Republicans can't get enough of a rise out of listeners by straight up quoting Democrats so they have to make things up.

    Democrats object to what Republicans actually say.

    Republicans object to their own straw man versions of Democrats.

    It is not 'keep counting until we win.' (a Republican generated soundbyte) It is: keep counting until all the valid ballots have been counted. The results will be determined by the voters, not the ballot counters.

    It is in everyone's interest to have a verified election process.

    If the election process is not trusted by Americans we have no basis to have a country. Our country is then in jeopardy.

    We must do everything possible to have the most verified election process possible.

    That does not include tactics meant to exclude valid ballots.
