48. First of all it's foolish to say, " find evidence and proof before you get to examine the ballots"

Thu Jul 17, 2025, 08:00 PM

Thursday

What is the point in paper ballots if regular citizens are not allowed to look at them?

I have never said we have proof of election fraud, I say it’s up to our employees that administer elections to prove the numbers they report are accurate.

And yes the clerks that run elections work for “we the people “, not the other way around

In ny there are people who swear they voted for the 3rd party candidate that didn’t get reported….why in the world wouldn’t we look at that to see if it happened and maybe why it happened? I don’t remember the exact number but the idea that it takes a court order to dbl check the count on approximately 500 ballots is ready frustrating.

I would think the clerk would be eager to either prove their numbers are correct or would want to know how it went wrong.

There are 4 swing states that show more votes for the senate races than the presidential race, that’s not how it usually goes, therefore i see nothing wrong with looking 👀

If the average American citizen can’t oversee the counting of votes then we have a giant “trust me” system and that’s not how democracy works
