Was this election fair or rigged?

[msc545]

In the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats won control of the Senate. Was it a fair election or was it rigged?

I am a conservative and I think it was rigged.

I am a liberal and I think it was rigged

I am a conservative and I think it was fair

I am a liberal and I think it was fair

From what I see it was distorted. Rigged I've seen reports about but I don't see enough evidence and question the truth of them. I accept the outcome. Note that we had similar scenario with Bush/Gore and I was disappointed Gore conceeded since I didn't like Bush/Cheny and I questioned if that election was fair. I'm not a die hard rightee, the issue has been going on a long time.

you see things like this:

https://nypost.com/2023/01/16/ex-top-intel-official-douglas-wise-knew-hunter-biden-laptop-had-to-be-real-but-signed-disinfo-letter/

You see things like collusion between US government and twitter... we all know that story. What the hell is that?

I've seen other stories over time casting doubt, but not enough evidence to know what's true.

Either way, distorting peoples view of the truth via govt action and media, that's plenty to shift an outcome. Do you doubt that? then...

Imagine Trump was in power and colluded with Twitter to control news stories about his dealings and taxes, that favored him. Imagine the CIA put out information that favored Trump when they knew it was BS.

Even then maybe not enough for him to win, he had so much hate by that point. It's his fault to a point and he lost.

...

The only good Democrat is a fair and unbiased Democrat... and there aren't many of those around.

The real issue is what happens next time, to me, the trust is getting worse, division is bad. Could be bloodshed... so we need to be confident in our systems of voting.

It's all controlled within the "global climate change" narrative and globalization, true or not... that's what the fight is about.

It was a fair election. It seems like it is rigged but that is because Republicans failed to change with the times. There is extensive mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, early voting, late voting, voting by proxy, same day registration and other new facets to the voting process. Republicans have to get with the times, the days of voting in person on election day are over and good or bad it is the reality.

Thanks for the MHO

American politics confuses me. I don't understand the Liberal and Conservative thing but I get the republican and Democrats. Wasn't it a tie or something for the house? Anyways the country is corput no matter who is in power. You need an independent party or you guys are going to have another civil war.

[Anonymous]

Those in control don't need to rig elections. Just back both sides.

[Anonymous]

Silly!

2016 was completely stolen and engineering by the Russians

2020 was the most secure election in the nation’s history... even though we had a glut of mail in ballots like never before...

2022 was totally above board. All of it. And the way that the Dems keep pissing and moaning about Santos getting elected, it’s almost like they suddenly care about truthfulness in politics!

Almost. 🙄

[Guy13]

I know the ones that came to close count were rigged.

[msc545]

How can you tell it was rigged?

[Guy13]

Did you not watch the length of time that Arizona took. Look at the same patterns with the thugs in the polls. It is always the Democrats hiding or copying ballots. It is common knowledge. Perhaps, you should get involved in the polling process as I have.

[msc545]

So if it takes too long that means it is rigged? What if it takes too long and the Republicans win anyway? Does that mean the Democrats did a bad job of rigging it or what?

[Anonymous]

Rigged. How can John Fetterman beat Dr. Oz? Fetterman's cognitive ability is worse than Biden's.

How can Katie Hobbs beat Kari Lake?

Hobbs was too chickenshit to debate, and hid in her basement like Biden did. Lake is brilliant and had a great campaign.

[msc545]

Obviously, your views about which candidates are better in some ways than other candidates is not shared by the majority of people. Luckily for us, you are not the final judge of who wins elections.

[FilmGuy93]

I think I remember hearing about some vote craziness happening in Arizona, but 2022 seems like it was a generally honest election.

[AngryCarl2]

I have no idea how elections work in the US but under the circumstances I think the Republicans fared remarkably well. cough, (abortion), cough.

[Anonymous]

The problem wasn't cheating it was the Republican leadership and how they allocated funds for races. Except for maybe the Arizona Gov. race; hard to say it is fair when the person in charge of the race is also the person who won it. Especially with the ballot issues in Maricopa county.

[docster]

Looking at it from a state-by-state viewpoint, I can say that I believe the Arizona elections were very suspicious. I'm a conservative.

[SmokinAces2000]

You must not have gotten the memo, anytime democratic win an election it’s obviously rigged

[SmokinAces2000]

Democrats*

[joeldalton]

Did we only find out about all of Biden’s documents months after the election despite them being found before the election?

[Wallythewalrus]

And now it comes out the DOJ does the "honor system" when it comes to the dems and searching for highly classified documents. What a fucking joke!

[goaded]

@Wallythewalrus It did the "honor system" with Trump, too, but he refused to give the documents back for 18 months which obstruction of justice resulted in the FBI searching the place and finding the ones he'd claimed not to have. Honor systems only work with honorable people.

[Wallythewalrus]

@goaded Trump has clearance to handle highly classified documents, Biden's staff doesn't. Also, agents were at Trump's resident's to see the documents and how secure they were. Again, Trump can handle them. If Biden wants to search for classified documents, I'm all for it but I'm sure they don't trust him with important things like that. The fact is, any place those documents were found is a crime scene but it seems only a hand full of Democrats and liberal media talking heads seem to care. When they were found in Trump's residents, it was a national security crisis! Trump needed to get the chair. You sound like Joy Blowhard! What court found Biden and his staff honorable? The law doesn't care about your feelings or opinions. Having said that, I'm not suggesting they do a raid, like with Trump but is having agents being a part of it too much to ask? And of course, after the DOJ has been questioned about not being a part of it, they release a vague statement saying they were? Yes, it's a fucking joke!

[goaded]

@Wallythewalrus "Trump has clearance" are you sure about that? That's entirely up to President Biden. I very much doubt he was foolish enough not to repeal Trump's clearance. Not to mention that member of Trump's team (Kushner?) who should have been refused it in the first place.

I detailed the differences between the two cases in my opinion in this question: What do you guys think of Biden mishandling classified documents? ↗

[Wallythewalrus]

@goaded Yeah, and Biden had classified documents locked in a garage that his Crack head son rented? We all kind of know about Hunter's suspicious dealings that have been dismissed. Also, did Biden repeal Trump's clearance or are just making a weak argument? Also, the number of classified documents really don't matter, do they? You're also getting those numbers by who? We had the press secretary tell us, ALL classified documents have been turned over to federal authorities, correct? Then a couple hours later, more were found. Technically, that is lying to federal authorities, if she told them one thing and then told the public another thing. Funny how we'll never know, because the fed protects Biden's administration so so much!

[KrakenAttackin]

I am suspect if any election now. With 2000 mules you too can be President.

[Dargil]

I think Democrats have long since abandoned ethics. For them, the end justifies the means. The see no compelling reason bot to cheat and rig elections.

[msc545]

You're confusing Democrats and Republicans with this post

[Dargil]

Are they confused?

[msc545]

you seem to be.

[Dargil]

About what?

[OddBeMe]

And here’s why cuckservatives are crazy as sht.

[Anonymous]

I don't know if rigged was the right word but many states have made ballot harvesting and mail in voting legal which sounds like cheating to me because it allows more uninformed voters to cast a ballot.

[msc545]

There's no requirement that you need to be informed about anything at all in order for it to be legal that you vote

[Opinion Owner]

Well the thing about going in person is that it's a little more effort than just filling it out at home. Those who are more passionate about who they want as the leader of their country are more likely to go out of their way to drive to a location, and wait in line to vote.
