And You Wonder Why People Question Elections In The US

[Bobob]

Many wonder why conservatives lie about ‘fraud’ that doesn’t exist and ‘cheating’ absent any evidence – it’s likely because conservatives are so dishonest and so incessantly lie that they don’t know what the truth is anymore, or care.

You have a short memory, Russiangate nothingburger.

The trouble with your response is that you believe whatever trump says and he is the consummate liar.
Heis in bed with Putin and that has become more obvious as time goes on.

U.S. Election Integrity Compares Poorly to Other Democracies

A 2019 report published by the Electoral Integrity Project, an independent project based out of Harvard University, found that U.S. elections from July 2012 through December 2018 rated "lower than any other long-established democracies and affluent societies." Each country in the index was given a score out of 100 based on assessments of the quality of each of its elections – including categories such as electoral laws, voter registration and voting process – one month after polls closed.
The U.S. score of 61 – the same score as Mexico and Panama – is the second-lowest among liberal democracies and much lower than other countries in the Americas region, including Costa Rica, Uruguay and Chile. Denmark, Finland and Norway are among the top-ranked countries in the index, all with scores in the 80s.


Wow, the US ranks right down there with Mexico and Panama, we should be soooo proud.

Your thoughts?

.

US is not rated highly not because of election fraud but because of suppression of voter rights, gerrymandering, misinformation campaigns, lack of cybersecurity, and undermine confidence in the electoral process.

Confidence in the electoral process should be questioned. When you have the media that are suppose to be holding politicians accountable to the people, becoming advocates for one side and putting out not just misinformation but pure propaganda, there can be no fair elections. Also voter suppression is a freaking myth, record turnouts in all States proves that.

.

You are giving the standard argument used in third world countries to discredit democratic elections, misinformation and propaganda by the media and political factions will mislead voters. The basic idea is you can't trust democratic election results because you can't trust the voters because they are easily led and not capable of making rational decisions. Since you have no faith in our electoral system, maybe you should propose something different.

As already correctly noted: only conservatives are engaging in bad faith criticism of the integrity of elections, solely because they are unhappy with the outcomes of elections.

you aren't criticizing anything because you agree the ends justify the means cheating is acceptable to you.

Trump lost the election by 7 million votes and followed it up with 50 lawsuits that were dismissed in state courts, federal courts and the Supreme Court by both conservative and liberal judges because he couldn't offered proof of his claims. All that remains is destroying America's faith in our electoral system, a first step in the destruction of the United States.

Time frame of the study is between 2012-2018, thus the Election Integrity problem was already there, before this election came around.

Who needs voting machine manipulation when they pick the people on the ballot and then MSM, facebook, google, and Twitter control the direction and narritive. The dominion machine thing is just a distraction. US leaders are chosen by those other than the common citizen. You only feel like you voted.

Neither MSM, Facebook, Google, or Twitter, nor CNN, Fox News, the New York Time's or dozens of other media outlets have any control of the election. In America, voters determine the outcome of an election. Make no mistake there are forces at work in this country seeking to take control away from the voters by undermining our election process, manipulating election boundaries, discouraging voter turnout. and restricting who can vote. They may claim they want to free our elections from fraud and corruption but in reality they want to restrict voting to the "right kind of people" and silence the "wrong kind of thinking."

Presidential election campaigns in the early years of the republic were filled will lies, misrepresentation and real election fraud. Ballot boxes were routinely stolen and stuffed. Buying and selling of votes was common place. Voter intimidation was real with voters handing their ballot to their employer or local sheriff. There was no such thing as audits and recounts in most states. Election regulations were set to favor those in office. Election workers and the supervisor of elections was often an appointed office. Voter registration was a tool of pollical machines to keep the opposition from voting. We didn't start cleaning up our elections until late in the 19th century. Today, election fraud in US elections is rare. However, our election laws leave a lot to be desired when it comes to campaign contributions, PACS, and statements by candidates.

When a very large segment of the population, over 80 million voters believe that Trump at best, is a poor choice for president and at worst an immoral megalomania totally lacking in empathy, how would you expect mainstream media to react? The media certainly shapes public opinion but also reflects public opinion.
