It's all of our's fault. We've done nothing about the fact that we keep doing the same thing and

expecting a different outcome. We vote into black boxes that leave no way of tracing votes. That should be illegal since candidates are entailed to recounts and there is nothing to recount.

They are run through ES&S machines and kept for a manual recount if necessary.

Many are hand counted.

Your conspiracy theories only reinforce your own belief that its an outside force giving you these results you dislike, not the actual will of the voters.

Sometimes a lost election is actually lost, not stolen.

If there is a hand recount, the bags come back torn, overstuffed, duct taped with the wrong numbers...and they still count them as valid.

This is so fucked up!
