The next Georgia gubernatorial election is in 2022, so Trump will be finished first.
Based on the last four years, it would be run very badly.

I fed my ballot three times, it got rejected the first two because I did not fill in a bubble sufficiently well for the machine. When it accepted the ballot I didn't get it back.

I'm thinking: Does Trump (or anybody else) really believe that if you feed the same ballot several times through a voting machine, it will be counted as several different ballots?
I mean, that would be totally crazy! Of course it must have a system of checking if it has already counted that vote, anything else would be absurd.

I don't know what would happen if you took the votes out of its secured container and ran them through again, but as I said it only spits back rejected ballots for correction not accepted ballots.
As for does anyone believe this, well it seems 30% of the US does.

Yes, it's obvious to anyone who's actually thought about it and applied some intelligence to the task. That, though, is rather the issue.

When I was in high school, student council elections were held using one of the voting machines where you pull a lever to close the curtain, flip a little lever next to your vote, and when you pull the lever to open the curtain, the vote lever pops back up and the vote registers. I once heard the friend of a candidate tell him that he had pulled down the lever next to his name about 20 or 30 times while he was in the booth, thinking that each pull would be registered as a separate vote.
Never underestimate the inability to understand how the process works, and basic logic.

Only if you define "the people" as only Republicans- that's a number I've seen attributed as the percentage of GOP voters who distrust the election results. In fact, 61% of Americans overall (NPR) say they trust the results. That's not as high a number as I'd like, and I think the one-in-three who think there was something shady in the election is just because of Trump and his GOP enablers throwing the shade; but it's still not as high as Trump says it is.
Trust Trump, though, to mislead with a dishonest framing that really amounts to a lie.

Last week, I asked that @realDonaldTrump instruct the Attorney General to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate election irregularities.
Now twenty-six Republican colleagues have joined me in calling for an independent investigation to restore faith in our elections!

Kind of like your posts, then. You never actually address claims of voter fraud. You make the claims, but you don't address them.

The (mail-in, machine counted) Colorado ballot has a barcode. I would assume that this codes a unique identifier for the ballot that ensures that it is only counted once (I assume this because it is how any halfway competent programmer would design the system). I have no idea to what degree Trump believes his own ********, but I have no doubt that there are plenty of people in the country dumb enough to fall for this crap.

I watched one clip from the Gettysburg "hearing". As the "expert witness" described what he saw, you could see the people in the audience shaking their head sadly.
Those people had no clue what the guy was saying, or what it meant, or whether what he was describing was ordinary or not. He was saying it. The tone of his voice suggested it was bad. It favored "our side", so they believed it.

I don't think pleading with you to engage in discussion is anywhere near ignoring.
Come in and tell us about the three pieces of evidence that show clearly that vote fraud occurred.

Not requiring proof of identification before voting would be absurd as well. But that's how we do it in California.

Good, and its about time these platforms cracked down on misinformation and lies.
Facts matter - these bogus allegations of election fraud don't contain any. They are thoroughly devoid of truth, facts and evidence. Not one of the 50+ court actions this bunch of idiots have entered into has contained a single allegation of election fraud... not one, and there is a very good reason for that. They might be idiots, but they know that lying in court carries consequences. Every one of the 50 actions has been tossed, many with prejudice, and with many of the judges lambasting the lawyers concerned for their incompetence and failure to understand the law.
I really hope that the ABA steps up soon and delivers consequences to Powell, Giuliani, et al.

The idiots promoting this voter fraud, fraud, can go ahead and start their own video hosting platform where they may spout CTs, nutty anti-science positions, stupid political theories, and vile racist propaganda to their shriveled black heart's content. Fans of such can watch, drooling and masturbating all the while. Win/win.
