That would include electronic voting machines that are defective, programed so that only a private corporation may ultimately read them, and/or otherwise tampered with..  -- MIke, Norwalk      5
Cook county,Illinois hasn't had an honest election in many years. John would turn over in his grave if he could see one of our "fair and virtuous" elections. A great example right now is watching Al Franken trying to steal the Minnesota senate seat .  -- jim k, Austin, Tx      5
Our elections have been that of the third world - Mike they programmed these machines with a back door - I wonder why...  -- RBESRQ      4
RBESRQ, you are absolutely right; and with all the unsuccessful law suits that were terminated for one reason or another, I say hmmm?  -- Mike, Norwalk      4
I sometimes wonder if there ever has been a free, fair, virtuous, and independent election. I remember stories from my long deceased grandfather about votes being bought and sold for a dollar and jug of 'shine. Voting has always been an illusion designed to keep the peasants under control. I just wonder where my jug of 'shine is. I could use it right about now.  -- Ken, Allyn, WA      5
It's not in the voting that counts, it is in the counting! I am afraid our elections are far from fair -- the CFR monopolizes the entire process and pulls various strings in the Dems and GOP parties, the mainstream media, the Fed, and military-industrial complex. Not to mention the obvious use of electronic voting machines that do not give a 'receipt' (try that at the store). Who is watching the watchers?  -- E Archer, NYC      5
Who are the watchers ? Good question Archer, as to who is watching the watchers, those who know they exist. Friends and enemies in high places. Overwhelming turnout of evangelicals, drawing out, and instilling like mindedness among individuals. Natural law stirs the herd. Some have the authority to move the faithful when needed. As to the origin of this authority, that, is not a question ask, by those that watch the watchmen. The election was rigged, but overwhelmed through unity of knowledge shared.  -- Ronw13, Oregon      4
Why isn't voting as secure as an ATM transaction?  Banks can track every penny, but local elections are run by public school flunkies.  Counting ballots should be the same as counting chips in a casino with lots of watchers watching the watchers.  Why?  Because people cheat when given the opportunity!  Denial of this is the crucial 'tell' among those who advocate electronic voting, mail-in voting, no-ID voter registration.  This has been going on for decades, particularly in Democratic cities, with over 100% of registered voters voting many of whom are apparently deceased or have moved away.  Dead Democrats swinging elections is widespread, only denied by the winners, and thus never investigated.  -- E Archer, NYC      2
Trump has taken them all on; witness the response.  Let's keep it up!  -- E Archer, NYC      1

Have those administering the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land lost sight of our liberties? YES they have ! ! ! There has been NO purity, free, fair, virtuous, or independent election in decades. Besides that people only have despotism, tyranny and usurpations to choose from. Compelled compliance, government licenses, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2n plank of the communist manifesto, funny money, government confiscations, etc.) and non-recognition of “the law of nature and of nature’s God” (Declaration of Independence) - {inalienable rights / liberty) are all unconstitutional enforcement of a political class of evil. “A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years”. (Lysander Spooner)  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
Voting machines are obviously rigged.  Explain to me how a counting program that any 1st year programming student could write needs to be 'proprietary'?  When these machines were first rolled out, it was hyped to be a way to get results out faster.  But it has not done that at all.  Paper ballots can be counted just as fast as loading a ballot into an electronic reader.  I've worked in IT for banks for most of my life, and security is the number one concern with many checks and guardrails to prevent theft.  There is always a paper trail, and records have to be kept at least 7 years and sometimes indefinitely. If we must use electronic counting machines, the software needs to be open source with paper trail.  It is absolutely unconscionable that these voting machines are from Venezuela and other socialist countries — that should be a red flag right there.  There should be no built-in functionality to switch votes or count votes with a percentage scale or allow connectivity to the internet, which they all have now. Look to history — socialists cheat!!  They all eventually lead to one-party rule with a leader who manages to stay in power indefinitely.  -- E Archer, NYC      1
