  1. Thanks to republicans we need a new underground railroad just to get black people to the polls safely.

    1. @Richard Hunt learn your history of the democratic party and if you still back it your the dumbest person alive and I can’t help you good luck and they will take all your rights away

    2. @Jerry Lukas Sounds like you learned just enough history to completely misinterpret it in order to make it fit your bias.

    3. Most Hated 👈🏼😂 that’s awfully rich coming from the clown whose team looted and burned down minority owned businesses while chanting ‘black lives matter,’ then refuse to condemn the looting and torching as well as refuse to condemn the murder of six African Americans at the hands of leftist rioters – but black lives matter, huh dummy?

    4. Proper 👈🏼😂 oh, you must be referring to the liberal revisionism of American history, you clowns constantly parrot .. that the ‘parties switched,’ huh dippy? Too bad you can’t tell us exactly which election cycle was it that democrats woke up and decided ‘you know what – lets call the republicans and see if they want to take on oppressing blacks while we assume their role of emancipation!’ Lol, Joe Biden said as a junior senator that he favored a ‘separate but equal’ approach to segregation, and recently said that African Americans aren’t black enough unless they vote for him. That’s racist, and you want to lecture us about history? 👈🏼😂

    1. @Tony D I know more about what is going on in the world than you do. You can’t answer the question quite obviously. What is Trump’s most “un-American” policy in your mind?

    2. @Tony D Oh, I was a border patrol agent for over decade, so I know a great deal more about immigration policy than you do, not that you know anything at all. You seem to have a great deal of trouble articulating.

  2. That some mail-in ballets were received with empty but sealed envelops.. which then can’t be used…
    Is Some Major manipulation BS

    1. @pfpublius My recommendation is to check with the local election officials ‘IN Writing” because a phone call can be disputed. And as soon as you can. And with the election team of who you were voting for. #GOTVOTE

    2. @Steven V Why is the US the only 1st world country unable to do Mail in Ballots.
      You once put a man on the moon
      but you can’t put a mark on a tally
      and post it in. #SAD

    3. @Soren Ingram It’s not about the ease of it, it’s about getting the ballot to the people they are intended. Voter addresses are outdated, so many ballots will be sent to old addresses. The postal service, like most government run programs constantly misdelivers mail to the wrong address. Anyone receiving someone’s ballot could cast a vote for that person, and steal their vote. It has many cases of this happening already in Nevada and New Jersey. In Nevada, people found ballots dumped and never delivered. So basically, their vote is canceled. They are complaining about lines, but at least they are guaranteed their vote will count. If you can’t make it to the polls, you can always request a mail in ballot. There is nothing stopping people from voting other then laziness, or lack of identification. It has also been confirmed that mail ballots are often sent to people who have died, again because the voter records are outdated and take to long to properly update.

    4. @Steven V That looks like a highly prepared rant. Most 1st world countries don’t have voting on work days or such poor infrastructure that results in 5-9+ hrs queuing. Just looks un democratic…

  3. If waiting in line to vote takes longer than waiting in line at the DMV, then there is a serious problem, and that problem is criminal in nature.

    1. So very true. Voters should be protesting against voter suppression in states that perpetuate this fraud.

    2. I’m sure the men and women that gave their lives for you to enjoy the right to vote would appreciate your patience. You realize those lines appear longer than they are because of coronavirus social distancing? You’re required to wait at a DMV, you’re not required to vote, so if waiting in line is such a burden on you don’t.

    3. Hey GOP. The world is watching everything your doing. We all know the 2016 election was tampered with by the Russians. We saw it in your country and others as well. We all know Donald Trump is an illegitimate president but everyone tried to work with him anyway. To the rest of your country I say this; I don’t know how the UN really decides to oversee an election but you guys should give that a go. Nobody wants a 2nd Trump presidency or a GOP controlled Congress. I don’t think the world could stand another 4 years of turmoil which the GOP seem to bring to every administration.

    1. @Lucius Kiirus The constitution limits the power of each officeholder. Constitutional republics usually have a separation of powers. The separation of powers means that no single officeholder gets unlimited power. John Adams said that a constitutional republic was “a government of laws, and not of men”. A constitutional republic—a country where some decisions (often local) are made by direct democratic processes, while others (often federal) are made by democratically elected representatives. In other words, The Constitution is in teori democratic in US, but in reality a plutocracy as it is ruled by and for the rich by voting fraud and lobbing. You are mixing the constitution with if it is a democratic, diktatorisk or plutocratic process witch is something else.

  4. this is also why people need to protest too, and stop them from taking democracy away. only reason why this happen is because they know people of color will vote against him.

    1. We don’t have a Democracy. We have a Constitutional Republic. Pure Democracy is bad, it is mob rule.

    1. mtronix Because they messed up so bad the hurt their own party. Glueing mail in votes shut. The president had someone pick up his ballot in Florida and hand return it. He doesn’t even trust his own people.

    2. @mtronix Kemp is not an accident. He planned everything that has happened to that state. Everything in Georgia trace back to Kemp. The rest of the country does not one damned thing to stop this maggot. As is we don’t do anything to these people for failing our system.

  5. Men and women FOUGHT and Died to protect the right to vote why let BUNKER BOY /BONE SPURS make it difficult. He voted by mail probably with an x

    1. Georgia voter have 180 days, that’s 6 months for those of you in Rio Linda, to request a mail in ballot. What stopped them? Laziness? Unmotivated for their candidates?

    2. @Peter Bills 80% of the Georgia electorate requested mail in ballots and never received them. Facts matter.

    3. @Denise berube Same thing happened in Wisconsin. Everyone _discovered_ or _learned_ from their MSM sources an election was happening in 1 week. So then county clerks were inundated with applications. Why didn’t the MSM in Georgia tell people months ago?

    1. @FearThe Karen’s How ARE the news stories about voting lines in places like Oregon, again?

    2. Well, the people in office that would have jurisdiction are Kemp and the secretary of state. Not much help coming from them, they are the ones doing it.

  6. On purpose, are we really gonna let this happen? Voting at home blah blah blah 😝😠 disgusting. This administration is evil !!!! The only voter fraud comes from the accusers.

    1. How many convictions for vote tampering do you wan?. There have been many convictions for it. Not to mention that voters in Nevada and New Jersey have had their ballots stolen, or completely sent to the wrong address, and the person who got it voted in their place denying them the right to vote. There should be a voter ID system. No ID, no vote.

    2. My point is to take the power away from the politicians. It is just an idea. We should be talking about ideas to make sure we don’t get stuck with Trump. I’m tired about talking about the “problems.” We all know what is wrong and who is to blame. It’s time to start to come up with ideas to solve the problem of Trump.

  7. The desperate last stand of a republican party that gets no support outside of white people, as the white people slowly are becoming the minority in this country. 😐😉

    1. ‘WHITE’ IS A TERM NEVER USED UNTIL POST CIVIL WAR USA. Europeans slaughtered each other for centuries the French hated English, Catholics the Protestants etc with more ferocity until exhausted than anything today. White was invented to false enfranchise poor whites against even poorer people of color by the same oligarchs. I’m European and First Peoples. My GF is Chicana descended from Spanish ( Europeans) and First Peoples and we love Indian food. the only ‘minority’ we recognize are idiots.

    2. It is not all black and white, there are a lot of white’s that are not Nazi, White Supremacists. Unfortunately the Nazi’s are all GOP.

  8. The first thing that Georgis needs to do is Fire Kemp, and Perdue.?
    2nd Make sure that there is a DIVERSE group of people that counts mail in ballots, and votes.
    The Republicans are desperate, and desperate times call for desperate measures…so their plan is to CHEAT.

    1. just liberal incompetence as usual, imagine if these idiots were running things. if you can loot you can vote.

    2. italo romero Another laughable question. Fear of being a bigger Treason Weasel Bunker Boy loser than he already is. He even lied and cheated to get his sad wife in the country. He only cares about himself and money. He doesn’t even know when he lies any more. He does it so much. He repeats every thing he says 100times so his base can remember and repeat it. There is really no Repub party any more, they are Trumpublicans, that’s why so many of Republicans have decided to retire. He wii be gone soon. If he sees he is going to lose, he will sneak out to Saudi or Russia since the bromance with Kim Jung Il is over now. Even with his Trumpanzees younger trumpets, the only way to win is to cheat. You can bet your hanging chad on that.

    1. @Domepeace_ltd productions The bottom line is black democratics Progressives running the polls refuses to learn how to manage the system or operate the machines you can only point your fingers at the citizens election officials running the failed voting place they are BLACK payed trained and appointed by the county in which they serve . This is not voter’s suppression it
      in·com·pe·tence
      inability to do something
      successfully; ineptitude.
      So it’s self finflected voter suppression .

  9. What your seeing is straight up voter suppression…In predominately white neighborhoods the machines worked fine…IT WAS CRIMINAL

    1. 50 years ago this country had the technology to send man to the moon. Today they can’t even run a simple voting machine?

    2. hilarious, black communities failed to test their machines so blame republicans.

    3. @Domepeace_ltd productions The machines might be Ivanka Trump voting Machines,that would explain why they don,t work.But you actually love it because it helps your King to stay.

  10. They are Not Problems if they are Planned…..😏☝

    We All Knew Republicans were Conspiring to Supress American Voters……

    1. Domepeace_ltd productions How is it democrats failing them when it’s in republican states?
      At this point, you twats are just pathetic. I pity you.#RepublicansAgainstTrump

    2. @Mark Greenhowe Democrat Governors and Mayors have been running our Cities for decades. Education Schooling system a disaster, crime and murder rates up every single year before the riots. Accumulating debt. Educated yourself. Mail in voting so illegal immigrants can vote right or let me guess the Coronavirus,but yet everyone is ok on left to riot. Ignorance at it’s finest with you I see.

    3. Upper 90 Ignorant? Nope, I’ve just had enough of this government. I’ve voted conservative my whole life and I voted for trump.

      Just can’t back him anymore.

    4. @Mark Greenhowe oh please I replied to your comment on how are Democrats failing them. You obviously didn’t know how Democrats Governors and Mayors are running our Cities for decades. That’s why you just replied the way you did. Uneducated always have excuses.
