I like this informational video. I'm sure some fuckin idiot will find conspiracy and corruption within the video. Seems fine to me.

Re: Michigan Secretary of State Reads Angry Election Tweets
It's sad she has to even make a video about this issue, because it's Trump who keeps promulgating the BIG LIE, that the election was stolen from him, and his idiot supporters have swallowed his Kool-Aide as gospel. And if he loses again, it'll be more of the same.

While I won't argue with her, I did notice she said nothing about voting machines and the ease they can be hacked: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ke ... g-machines

Re: Michigan Secretary of State Reads Angry Election Tweets
I agrued against using voting machines long ago for that reason.
I count 15 states that currently use DRE (direct recording electronic) and of those, only 8 use VVPAT (Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail) ALL the time. Michigan doesn't use DRE's, but uses optical ballot scanning for vote tabulation. Oregon has mail-in voting, which has a paper trail and residency verification. We also use optical scanning for tabulation. Even our ballot drop boxes look like bank vaults ever since Trump's Big Lie got going. So our state had to spend extra money on beefier drop boxes thanks to Trumpkins.

And before you start thinking the MSS sounds all reasonable and fair minded: "Redford wrote in his ruling:
The state defendants are ordered to qualify West and Abdullah as independent candidates for the ballot, on the condition that the Board of State Canvassers does not determine they are disqualified after a review of the signatures on the qualifying petitions and West complies with MCL 168.590d(2).
The Fair Election Fund wrote that “voter suppression efforts” from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson had been “overturned in a win for democracy and a loss for Democrats.”

Re: Michigan Secretary of State Reads Angry Election Tweets
I tried to explain to my friend that both parties know precisely which counties are competitive, and the more competitive a county is, the more eyeballs are on it, which make fraud less likely, not more. The problem with our election system isn't the micromanagement of small communities in a few states, but that we have a FPTP system with an Electoral College. Fix that and this whole swing state crap will no longer be a problem.

Re: Michigan Secretary of State Reads Angry Election Tweets
That won't work on anyone who believes in Trump's Big Lie. And guess which party tried to put forth fake electors in the last election, in order to REALLY steal the vote? Republicans.
