Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

It's weird how conservatives who pretend to not like "lawfare" engage in nothing but that.

Versus, you know, doing something that would be appealing to all Americans. They just whine and howl and try to rig elections.

It's always projection with these types.

It's honestly fucking tiresome.

It's weird how conservatives who pretend to not like [insert literally anything conservatives complain about] engage in nothing but that.

Is there anything here that is worth investigating or is this another typical investigation to investigate if their is something illegal?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 15 hours ago

Warming up to claim the mid-term elections were rigged.

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What specific law(s) are they suspected of violating?

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

None. This has "We are looking into Hillary Clinton" vibes all over it. All about puffing chests and casting doubt without any substance.

Republicans also use ballot stuffing tactics in Alaska elections. I guess it is only wrong when Dems do it?

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Not to mention, it's a significantly less effective tactic in a ranked choice system.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 0 points 12 hours ago

I didn't give them permission to accelerate criminal probe into the Alaska senate race

Ah, what's the difference, we'll all be killed by AI in a few years
