They aren't, dumbass. They're against the false trope that there was
widespread fraud. They're against the the lies that large numbers of
unqualified individuals cast votes. They're against the demonization and
assaults on the character of people who honestly worked their polling
places with integrity and certified election results to a result that
the magatards didn't like.

Elections in the the US are free and fair, with minimal cases of fraud.
The vast majority of ineligible votes cast are the result of
administrative errors and mistakes. The remainder are so small as to
constitute an insignificant blip in the statistical noise.

Re elections, etc.
 
Years ago when I lived in the U.S. I believe that there was a limit on
the amount of money that an organization or individual could give to
support a political party running in an election
Seemed logical... rich folks couldn't dominate the party.
 
Now I read that the president's ex buddy was the largest contributor -
millions of dollars.
 
My memory is fealty? Or they changed the rules?

IMHO, all efforts to 'get the money out of politics' over
the decades have resulted in more money for politics.

Even if anyone knew my real name, they wouldn't find it there. I've
never contributed a nickel or a red cent to any political candidate,
and I never will.
