(11,243 posts)I have yet to see real proof of the electronic theft allegations. IMO, people use that as an excuse when their preferred candidate loses and they can't accept that they lost legit. And I need more specifics on the "voter role ejection". Florida and a few other states will purge their roles before a big election if they can get away with it. Battleground states in the Electoral College are won or lost by very thin margins. If you are the GOP and can scrap off a point or two by purging the roles, another by voter ID, another by engineering long lines in minority precincts... well that might be enough. They are ALL important issues, but it is like playing whack-a-mole. Nearly impossible to hit them all simultaneously.
There are voter protection groups in most states that address these issues. For example, I go to Board of Election meetings to advocate for better early voting hours and locations and have been a part of a poll watching group. If you are truly concerned, then I assume that you are participating and/or donating to one or more similar groups? It is the lack of volunteers and resources that bedevil us. We all know what the problems are already.
