He doesn’t need to prove it, making the claim and being a Republican are neough for the base
We had three Republican candidates who were ahead on Election Day in last cycle, and every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost,” Johnson said. “It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove that? No."
Are you fucking kidding me?
Before I went to bed Kamala was winning. Then I woke up and the Nazi won. Must have been fraud.
We actually have more evidence of election fraud in 2024, but not in their favor.
A lot of the proof is small one offs, but there is evidence (not definitive proof) that they gave access to voting machines, it was just not followed up on at all. Shit was insane really.
It was actually. Pedolf Shitler didn’t win, Elon installed him.
That’s because dipshit rural counties have less people so their votes are quicker to count. That’s why dipshit Republicans are always in the lead at the beginning of the counting process.
Your average dipshit conservative/regressive might not grasp that larger numbers of things take longer to count, but this traitor fuck is fully aware of what he is doing.
Also, mail-in ballots tend to skew toward Dems, and are often counted after the in-person votes, so an early R lead often diminishes as those ballots are counted.
its just so funny. they say the election was rigged in 2020 which lead to the democrats being in power for a bit and then somehow it was fixed by 2024. I mean even taking the lack of evidence and just totaly bs around it. The lack of logic in it all is galling.
Conservative/regressive voters don’t require logic. Or facts.
Always loved this saying:
You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
I think that’s how it goes, anyway.
he played the “everybody knows that” card.
everybody knows that~
Everyone knows Mike Johnson of Congress is a Pedophile
Isn’t he all about god? Doesn’t god hate liars?
Only the ones that aren’t cishet, White or Christian.
Christian In Name Only
If a government official claims our democratic electoral institutions are fraudulent they should have 30 days to prove it beyond doubt, after which, if they cannot, they should be publicly hung.
Because lying to sow doubt in a nation’s elections should be punishable by death.
That would quickly solve a very serious issue in this country.
Mike Johnson can’t prove a LOT of things. Basically everything that defines him as a person.
Counting ballots is fraud to corrupt pieces of shit cultists like Johnson
I can’t help myself, I honestly mean no offense but the thing that gets me about American politics is that most votes nationally, in democratic and republican states, are counted by private companies who can’t prove the votes are accurate.
Plenty of stats have shown massive fraud in the primaries in both parties , and the generals too, in many races. Both the democrats and republicans have a tradition of stuffing ballots and doing underhand tricks.
Certain states count all ballots by hand and those are mostly accurate.
Every other state relies on people having faith in the counting process. But it’s just that, faith, which is not wanted or necessary in a country that is a democracy.
Life would be better if more democrats felt like Trump probably only won his primary and generals by more private voting companies altering the votes than not. And realizing democrats would probably win far more often if all votes were counted by humans in front of witnesses.
But most people who talk about these things cannot challenge that, and cannot acknowledge their basic faith in a process is wrong
Why are you under the impression that counts are happening by private companies? They’re often initially cast and counted by machines produced by a private company, yes. But their operation is done by poll workers, and their accuracy is completely reliable and verifiable. They are rigorously tested for accuracy both before and after elections, and they print each cast ballot to paper so that it can be hand counted and confirmed after the fact as well. How else do you think recounts happen?
Also your claim that plenty of stats have shown massive fraud by both parties, or that they are regularly stuffing ballots, is simply untrue. There are a lot of bullshit claims to that regard, but our elections and ballots are actually pretty damn secure. Stats actually show that attempted fraud is very rare. One study of the 2016 general election showed that roughly 1 in 1 million votes cast were suspected of being unauthorized, and of those many are cases of human error rather than malicious intent (such as someone not realizing they were ineligible). And when it is attempted, it is almost always caught before the fraudulent ballot is cast, not after.
There is no need for faith so long as people of all political parties are included in the process, which they intentionally are. Democrats and Republicans as well as unaffiliated people set and enforce the rules, monitor the counting process, keep the ballots safe and isolated from tampering, and keep each other accountable.
There are dozens of systems and some states use more than one system.
The easiest way I can counter your arguments is by talking about Texas, where I live.
In my town, we were given paper records; the poll workers did not maintain custody very well of their copies. There was no checking of the electronic records vs the paper records. And the paper records were not available for recounting either, later.
We, the local Democratic Party, were notified of the results on our county via logging into a website run by Austin and had no way to challenge or recount. The results were given as an uncontested fact. We read the vote counts in a poorly designed web page.
The voting machines were the sole point of reference.
I saw this personally.
As for stats tests; one common way to detect ballot stuffing is to sort all precinct results in a race by their population. Usually a candidate who wins plots as a line; ballot stuffing plots as a curve as the winning candidate gets a higher percentage of votes as the precinct population goes up.
Another indication of cheating is discrepancies with exit polls.
Exit polls were so off in national elections the media stopped using them a few years ago.
If more democrats were less like your response, the USA would be a better place because more democrats would have won.
But that will not change, I think.
But I’m confident enough in this broken system to predict democrats will win both congress and the White House, next elections, because they will be allowed too.
Meanwhile people with unshakable faith like yourself will feel vindicated and forget all about this. But then you will feel dismayed the gop wins yet again in the 2030s.
I’d bet heavily on both the outcomes and reactions
