    People need to learn how to count votes in a way that makes sense to them, that they understand and trust; and not leave it to an oligarch, or a handful of oligarchs, to tell them who won without anyone questioning the results.

    This plays out in too many USA states. Especially those states that have republican victories and the swing states.

    One cannot talk about parties in getting votes until there is actual democracy .

    Some people reading this: It must be frustrating looking at my blasphemy, convinced I am wrong, yet have no way to argue against me. This is not a coincidence or trivial thing that you have no comebacks.

    Current American politics is built on a faith.

        A few… but just assume I am a know nothing account, for a minute.

        Does the fact exit polls are broken in many states worry you ? It should. But in my experience most don’t think it significant

          No, it doesnt. Just like polling in general being broken doesn’t bother me. Nor do I agree its broken. Nor do I care to bother discussing such nonsense since its doubtful youve managed to go beyond a grade school level understanding of mathematics.

          If you’re worried about how your local government is running their vote counting operation then volunteer for it. Document the problems and send a evidence to news orgs. Trust me plenty of left wing individuals would love to report on that shit. Its pretty simple.

          Its clear you don’t have an actual issue with how vote counting is done or you wouldn’t be wasnt my time talking about exit polling. A thing that has nothing to do with counting or election operations in general.

          So kindly fuck off with your nonsense and lies about working as an election volunteer.
