The spacing was 6mm instead of 1/4 of an inch. The metric system is socialist bullshit so rejected! Florida just saved American democracy, boys 😎
Florida has been republican for nearly 3 decades. Florida has a very successful mail ballot system. This one example alone flies in the face of the republican bullshit about mail in ballots.
Unless they want to say they only retain power due to cheating.
Florida is the best example of fraudulent voting. They found counties with negative votes.
It's not something you want to use as an example.
I think Obama won Florida at least in 2008, but yeah since 2000 they've been republican with that exception.
No, Bush literally lost the vote in Florida but the Supreme Court “overturned” the result. There is no democracy in Republican America.
This is so pathetic
and it's just the start of the fuckery
Yaa I dunno if pathetic is the right word. More... Terrifying? All these years of spouting off about election shenanigans, and here we are. I'm trying to get on disability currently, & I'm questioning how long social security will even remain solvent. Also questioning if that'll even matter, or if I'll eventually just get picked up and sent to a prison/camp because of my attendance history related to protests and related activities here in Hamburgerland.
Hey, I know this probably doesn't matter much, but if you are attending protests and community actions, then I offer my sincere thanks to you. You and everyone else pushing back in every little way they know how has slowed their roll considerably, despite all the online doomtrolls insisting it makes no difference. It really does. And I truly appreciate you going out and doing it despite how precarious your own situation is. Thank you for that. I know that doesn't put food on the table, but seriously, thank you.

To all our metric friends, they got rejected because the text was .355mm too close
0.236 is so close to 6mm I bet this was metric first
Yeah … 5.9944mm. That a difference of 0.0056mm or 5.6 µm. A human blood cell is 8 µm.
To make this story make sense:
Leon County is 40% non-white.
Also
"The county has voted Democratic in 24 of the past 29 presidential elections since 1904"
And typically left leaning as a whole. In a pretty red state.
Let me guess, does it lean blue too?
Edit - just checked, and surprise surprise....
In case anyone wants to see it
Heavily Democrat

30% Black

Also: Florida.
You expect Florida to be excempt from this sort of thing.
Lol why? Florida sucks and has a deserved reputation as such. This is exactly the sort of thing to come out of the DeathSentance state.
No. They were saying that as further evidence.
Wow, Republicans are really getting desperate. If only they could do things people would vote for instead.
But then they would make less money...
“I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States, that loves us so much he can’t even breathe, that I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it any way – I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do. There’s never been bigger cheaters. I don’t care. I am going to go out, and I am going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd or we are going to vote before that.”
If you repeat over and over and over for a decade that the left cheats. If you have the billionaire owned media parrot that. You can get a large enough base to actually believe it.
The voter fraud stuff started right after they stole the 2000 election, not coincidentally.
They saw just how fucking weak the democrats were and how we all trusted them to run the opposition. So they just decided to kill the republic and betray the country.
Here we are, still trusting these democrats. They will get cheated, they will ask the courts to not let the cheaters win, and the courts will side against them.
Make no mistake, the courts only sided with the democrats in 2020 because it was too much of a lift and they did such a bad job at stealing it. The Republic is dead if we don't stop trusting these democrats.
