Election officials have boosted security since 2020

This is funny.

If you vote illegally, its tabulated regardless of you not being able to vote, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Incredible.

@#4 ... This is funny. ...

There is nothing funny about the need to beef up security for election officials because of possible threats.

Or, does your current alias find election violence funny?

Please explain.

Hmmm? I wonder why? Because of all the murdering, raoing illrgal aliens? Or, more likely, because of the MAGAterrorists who could try to pull off another coup attempt and the MAGAterrorists would actually murder her, especially if she wins election!
