to some sort of actual fact to have a legitimate debate in a discussion forum. I will leave you with the fact that elections were stolen loooong before electronic machines were in use.

Nah, my state passed a BUNCH of progressive legislation when Dems were in power. wildeyed Jul 2016 #34

Locally, yes. I am referring to the federal level. They simply don't address it, until now... FighttheFuture Jul 2016 #36

It is because only now are enough people focusing on the issue. wildeyed Jul 2016 #38

Too much focus on ID's when the real theft is happening electronically and voter role ejection. FighttheFuture Jul 2016 #39

I disagree. wildeyed Jul 2016 #41
