You have a better chance of snapping a photo of Bigfoot than you have of a voter fraud incident in your jurisdiction, but it infuriates me that the myth of widespread voter fraud persists.
2016 election Republicans made Muslims the problem.
2018 election Republicans made the Black people the problem.
2020 election Republicans made the Chinese the problem.
2022 election Republicans made Trans people the problem.
2024 election Republicans make Mexicans and Central Americans the problem.
Seeing a trend here. Can’t put my finger on it.

Oh all of the above have been “the problem” as long as I’ve been alive, at the same time.
It’s almost like it isn’t everyone else that’s the problem
The “first they came for…” quote is probably more damaging than people realize. They don’t systematically make more different people the problem. Everyone is fair game at all times whenever it’s opportune.
How is it known that it’s rare?
I gave one example above, but the short answer is, people have tried to find it and haven’t succeeded.
Like Bigfoot.
Voter roles are registration are effective. I vote in almost every election, and they can tell my ballot status when I go in. My vote is tied to my address and other factors, so it seems like it would be clear if I wasn’t a legal citizen.
I also have to show a government ID when I vote, but it doesn’t seem like that’s made a big difference in the security of the elections I participate in.
There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.
If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.
Yeah that’s the point. They know it’s already illegal, they put it on the ballot to drive turnout. Conservative voters are convinced that non citizens are voting in droves.
They’re beating this drum now so they can claim the election was stolen by “illegals” voting in swing districts. They just need to (at a minimum) challenge a couple thousand votes in 2-3 states.
Don’t forget the voter suppression before the election. They’ll have long list of blue voters that must be purged because maybe one of them is illegally voting.
They have nothing real to run on. They never do. But idiots will work themselves into a lather over shit that doesn’t happen like this.
All they have is engineered outrage and grievance politics. And the chuds will eat it up.
They have nothing real to run on.
Pictured is Kamala Harris’s Presidential Campaign page, main menu, as viewed on mobile. The second screenshot shows the menu from the bottom of the website.
Of note is the fact that there is no reference whatsoever so Harris’s policy positions.
She doesn’t give interviews.
She is doing what you’re accusing Republicans of doing, which is having nothing real to run on. She is literally running on nothing.
Also, she was not elected as the candidate in a primary.
But oh yes, let’s all remember that “Democracy’s on the ballot here”, as we back our wild card candidate who skipped the primaries, doesn’t do interviews, and doesn’t have a platform.
