The methods you listed aren't the only ways they try to rig elections in their favor. They're trying to restrict or eliminate mail-in voting. They're trying to require voters to show ID at voting booth, disallowing name changes, such as occur to most women when they marry (suppress the women vote), accept gun licenses but not student ID's as ID, & require college students to vote at their permanent place of residence instead of where they go to college (suppress the college vote). Incinerate dropboxes for ballots. Bomb scares (Russian sources) in major cities (especially in swing states) to scatter voters (suppress urban vote), some suspecting that while polls are closed, malefactors insert tampered software into voting machines to change votes to Republican candidate.
Which brings me to the next few items... It is known that MAGA operators allied with Trump around 2021 confiscated voting machines, & are suspected to have tampered with their software, inserting codes. ES&S & Dominion own the vast majority of voting machines. ES&S has had a history of problematic voting results. ES&S are owned & managed by far right Trump supporters & are hackable remotely. Dominion has recently been sold to a right-wing Republican former election official. Many people in the 2024 election reported voting for Harris, but the machine showing Trump as the receiver of their vote. The theory about vote manipulation was that it happened during vote tabulation. I forgot how they said it happened. I will have to reseatch it again. Some who have written or talked about it, & generally seem pretty convincing to me are the Election Truth Alliance, SMART Elections, Jessica Denson, Dissent in Bloom & This Will Hold. There are statistical anomalies in the voting patterns that strongly suggest fraud, such as the more votes there are in a precinct beyond a certain threshold, the higher percentage goes to the Republican. One thing the article whose link you gave said was that audits comparing voting machine votes to paper ballots would show the results to be accurate, but so far no request for audits, of which several have been made of really questionable results, have been accepted by attorneys general, secretaries of state, governors or juries considering the requests, so up until now we have nothing to prove it one way or another. In other countries, audits or recounts of election results are automatic or at least readily done when requested.
If elections are free & fair (which they won't be), gerrymandering will likely actually backfire for Republicans, because to get more majority Republican districts, the margin of the majorities must decrease. 60-40 Republican majorities become 55-45 GOP majorities in normal elections, which become vulnerable in blue wave elections, which 2026 is expected to be. But the preponderance of other ways they cheat will be hard to overcome except with an extraordinary Democratic turnout, which is essential for democracy to eventually prevail.
Respectfully, please read the attached article to understand how they electronically stole the 2024 election.
These fake county vote banks have been discovered in the swing states and Florida, and so far, we’ve mathematically proven they used them in Florida, Michigan, Georgia, and Nevada.
Thank you! I was just about to send a link to "This Will Hold" for Quasim Rashid to see. There is just so much evidence that the 2024 election was absolutely rigged in many ways. Today’s post by Quasim certainly alerts us to some of the ways the GOP is rigging elections, but we must all realize that it is much, much more than this. "Truth Alliance" and "This Will Hold" provide an enormous amount of facts that cannot be ignored. I do believe the truth will come out for everyone to see. It’s being blocked by mainstream media right now, but eventually it will all be revealed. We are being told they are conspiracy theories, but be prepared to refute that allegation.
Don Scott is fucking useless, should be found criminally complicit if they really don't fight back against this.
Stop putting it up to votes then, pull the same stunts the repubs are in changing their maps, and take the hypocrisy to the highest, most visible court.
Those of us who want candidates who will work for "the people" are fighting two battles. One, against Republicans and two, against corporate-and -pac-owned Democrats (the ones who shudder at the thought of Mamdani). These are the Dems who say "we'll accept the court ruling against VA maps". Not much difference between Repubs and Dems there!! Vote Blue NO Matter Who is the same as saying "you'll eat what's put in front of you".
There are so many points to take away from all these decisions- 2 feelings hit me as I emotionally reacted to your post :
1. For all of us who are white and privileged and have never faced discrimination, if you want even a small sense of what it must feel like to be a minority over the past several hundred years and see decision after decision push you down and take away or ignore any rights you should have, you are getting a small taste of it. IN NO WAY do I want to minimize the tremendous harm done to millions and millions, and generation after generation before now (I have not lived that life)- but take a moment and take in the reality of seeing a corrupt system pushing you aside and ignoring you.
2. This country was formed on a lie. The fact that it has survived this long with the discriminatory, hateful, racist rhetoric that has existed and persists is hard to believe- and that in a short 16 months, it has fallen apart. A court that acts as it does, a congress that abdicates its responsibilities, and a populace that supports a fascist authoritarian who is allowed to run roughshod without any effective guardrails- the Constitution at this point is worth less than the parchment it was written on.

I’m super glad to support you. It’s hard sometimes to stay positive. But after reading your post. I feel calmer. Thank you Qasim ✊🏻💙☮️

Sheer numbers. We need numbers. 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 She's Hungarian!!
This, this is exactly why there is a Second Amendment

This is no time for Democrats to sit on their hands. We must get out there and vote. Don’t be intimidated!
Thank you. Things are looking pretty grim. Every week is worse than the last.
I have faith in people. We need people to organize and move, and I'm doing my best to help make that happen.
Thank you. A big worry of mine sadly coming true. And WTF. Democrats. I'm beginning to believe they are all in it together.
This is the headline I have been screaming since November of '24.
Qasim- boy do we need your voice now.

Thank you, Nick, for your trust, support, and for continuing to raise your voice.
WTH? We busted our butts here in Virginia for a clear WIN to help our democracy and the Dems won't back us up?
Qasim, thank you for never giving up the fight.
Their lack of fight is enraging.
Only one party even attempts to follow the law.
