    More than 58 judges, 3 state Supreme Courts, the US Supreme Court, 5 states legislatures all looked into this election and you call that UNIFORMLY IGNORED.

    Just admit the truth, you did not care about fraud, all you cared about was flipping the winner.

    That is why you people never questioned a thing that happened in states that Trump won

    Wow! Me and my wife are both 80 and we both stood in line this past election. It was warm and the lines were long. It was the first day of early voting. People in wheel chairs or who had disabilities were escorted or encouraged to go to the front of the line. Many times by the people standing in line. We were in line for about a hour and a half. Many, many other older people were there. We had to show I.D. . There also was a drop off box for those who wanted to drop off their ballots they received in the mail. (Gee's, that looked easy). There also were poll workers directing traffic and walking along the line and making sure the people were social distancing and asking how they were doing.

    When I go to the supermarket and cash a check I have to show I.D., when I go to the airport I have to show I.D. and stand in long lines and go through a screening. Would it make a difference if I was a Democrat or a Republican or a Independent? Any time I get a medical procedure done I have to go through a palm screening, answer a bunch of questions, show my I.D. and then repeat my name and my birthday and all these people know me. Any time I do a banking or business transaction I have to show a I.D.. So what is so hard about voter verification? I recently went and received my Covid shot. My wife and I drove 20 miles away to another city and stood in line for three hours the first time and about one hour the second time. Hell I've stood in line longer than that at Disney to get on a ride or see an attraction and they charged me an outrageous amount to do it.

    Maybe I was raised differently, but, we were taught that voting was a privilege not a right. We were taught that if you cared enough about an election you would go to the polls and vote. Back in the old days you only had one day and you stood in line sometimes three or four hours. It could be hot or freezing, raining or snowing.

    Actually there are certain religious groups that celebrate Saturday as the Sabbath. They do no work or business on that day.

    I personally don't care what black Americans want, think, say or do. Likewise for those who presume to speak for black Americans, as well as those black Americans that they trot out to enforce this or that complaint. We are one country. The voting rules in any place apply equally to all. Now play ball.

    Mixed up in the gravel of your post is one thing we agree on: One vote for each citizen. The difference is enforcement. Democrats are happy with a fraud prone sloppy "it is good enough if we win" system, Republicans want it tightened up to prevent fraud.
    We, are a country full of crooked politicians, crooked news, and blood sport politics. Asking for an honest vote should not even be an argument.

    So wait, possessing a rifle is a right but now voting is a privilege?

    Maybe you're right, maybe we shouldn't let some people vote.

    But IMO it's more than a right, it's a duty, and there should be penalties for ignoring a duty

    Election day should be a national holiday. Restaurants, bars, and stores should be closed so that everyone has the opportunity to vote.

    There are restrictions on gun ownership both federal and state. If you cannot pass the background check you can be denied ownership of a gun. All firearms are registered and as soon as you sign that piece of paper you have given up your right to ownership. You have been granted a privilege to own the gun. It may be revoked at any time.

    The Federal and State governments set the parameters for voting. Time, date, place, age, registration, verification and integrity of the voter rolls, etc. If one is forced to vote then it really isn't a open and free election; is it?

    We narrowly dodged a bullet that would have ended our democracy. Trump also set an example that has since been followed in Myanmar..

    Yes, we have them in my country too. That is why we have several weeks of pre-poll voting and make mail in voting straightforward.

    You can only believe the results when a Republican is elected.

    If a republican wins, that means Russia hacked the election.

    Yes it is. It would be unfree if one was told who to vote FOR, but just being told you have to vote is being given a duty. You can have many duties as a citizen, some are enforced at law, some not.

    There is only one Duty our Forefathers mention with the establishment of our country and that is found in the Declaration of Independence.

    “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” — It is not only our right to throw off a single-authority, oppressive government, it is our DUTY. A duty is not optional. As Americans, it is our obligation to secure the means for a life of continued liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    However, no democrat has stormed the capitol as a result of the Russians' interference.

    Pretty sure your right. Think they stormed the Capital because of the Democrats interference in the election.

    Which the majority of our voting electorate did on 11/3/2020 by voting for Joe Biden and throwing off the tyrant Donald Trump

    Unlike Russian interference in our political process, however, there actually was no Democratic "interference" in the election. There are only baseless, partisan, cynical accusations lacking supporting evidence.

    That's funny because I haven't seen any actual evidence of any country interfering in our election. The Dems did a great job of planting "tar babies" in important swing states so all their lies would stick. They ran a great campaign of dis-information. Doesn't matter. Joe the Shmoo and that black lady with the funny name are showing that they are not ready for prime time. We have a infestation of illegals at our southern border and them two are more concerned with destroying the economy of Georgia while the drug runners, prostitute's, criminals and other forms of low life are raiding our country.

    If there ever has been a hostile takeover of the USA, it has been done by a corrupt media, feeding citizens a false narrative.

    No.....those stations did divulge Hunter's laptop and the Biden Crime Family. We're hearing more about it now the election is over.
