My prediction of massive fraud in November

[Dirtdude]

The Republican/Russian Federation Alliance will send thousands of xeroxed copies of ballots to precincts. These ballots will likely be easily identified as phony.

The purpose would not be to change election results, they will be used by Trump to claim the election is fraudulent and therefore not accept the results.

His armed monkeys will eat it up and try to ensure no one touches him.

1. Ballots aren't sent to precincts...

[rgbecker]

2. How do precincts get the ballots?

[csziggy]

7. In my county the paper ballots are printed

For early voting, they are printed as each voter checks in since voters can go to any early voting location to vote. For Election Day, they pre-print ballots for each precinct but have printers set up if they need more.

For some counties in Florida they are using all electronic voting machines so there are no printed ballots. The various races appear on the screen.

19. Ballots are printed in books with appropriate covers and are detached as needed...

They’re also packed with voting equipment. Nothing gets “mailed” to a precinct.

3. Let them try it. Pelosi will become president in January if there is no certified election result.

Go for it, repugs.

[Baked Potato]

4. Trump can claim anything he wants,

he’s still going to be ran out of town in crushing defeat.

Russian Federation Alliance...... Hmmmmmm.......

[not_the_one]

5. GOPrussian Federation Alliance?

Is that too sophisticated for the masses?

[0rganism]

6. seems plausible

they really do enjoy telling everyone their overall strategy by way of accusing Democrats of doing it while being vague enough about the specifics that there's plenty of flexibility

it's idiocy and genius rolled up into a shit burrito

get Democrats to force funds into the USPS so DeJoy has lots of money available to work the plan and then everyone thinks the problem is fixed and moves on to the next manufactured crisis

then after the messed-up vote causes chaos they'll be like "we warned you this would happen" as they seize power

8. "Everyone quit. The battle is lost. They have won."

[Squinch]

11. Are you suggesting the OP said anything that remotely resembles this? Because they didn't.

[BannonsLiver]

14. Yes. And yes they did.

[Squinch]

17. Maybe you are projecting feelings of helplessness? Because the OP simply pointed out a likely

problem. It is one we must address. To address it, we must first acknowledge it. Ignoring or ridiculing those who point it out makes the problem worse, not better.

At no point did the OP voice anything like the helplessness you attributed to them.

[brooklynite]

20. No, the OP pointed out an implausible conspiracy theory

[Squinch]

21. Yes, that particular strategy that was described is implausible, but it is inevitable at this point

that there will be egregious cheating on election day.

Saying that there will be is not the same as saying all is lost.

[Dirtdude]

23. No I didn't.

Vigilance is not capitulation.

[moondust]

9. Bog down the mail/election system

with thousands of xeroxed copies? Didn't Dumbo the Clown say it could take years to figure out who won?

[Hoyt]

10. That's why candidates appoint poll/election observers. I don't doubt some ignorant trumpsters will

try some crud. But, we have to turn out in massive numbers.

It worked in 2018, 2012, 2008, and it will work now. It would have worked in 2016 also had some folks not voted against Clinton because they were ticked at primary results and others weren't complacent with polls showing a big Clinton victory.

[kentuck]

12. I could see them bribing carriers or someone else to destroy ballots.

Just not deliver them.

[Generic Brad]

13. And he will disrupt the internet on election day

That will sow more doubt and allow them to do all kinds of illegal acts while we are temporarily blinded and incommunicado.

[Liberal In Texas]

15. He's already said that there will be millions of fake ballots mailed-in, so

to fulfill that prophecy somebody (Russians?) will flood the mails with fake ballots.

I think you're right, they'll be recognizable as fakes and will be rejected but it'll give the emperor wannabe his excuse for filing lawsuits to tie up the election in the courts.

[MoonRiver]

16. Doesn't matter if the POS accepts the results or not.

Come 12 noon 1/20 he's out.

[octoberlib]

18. Honestly, tune out all the bullshit and vote. Whether by mail or in person, just vote.
