@#1 ... Get your ballot in on time. Problem solved. ...

Define "on time."

Does that mean postmarked by the end of Election Day?

Election DAY. Counting ballots for weeks after election days is 3rd world crap.

Still crying about how long it takes to hand count ten million ballots and compare signatures to the signatures on file.

Let me guess. You really liked failed reality television and crystal enthusiast Spencer Pratt.

He was your type of guy.

You poor poor thing.

Also ... Attempting an insurrection when the election doesn't go your way and then pardoning all the insurrectionists once you regain power is definitely some third world crap.

You sure about that? Do "third world counties" even have real elections? I am gonna bet most don't. Winning 100% of the vote hours after the elections is a little more suspect than winning by a close count days or even weeks later.

Ridiculous. When are the people running for office going to be sworn in?
Mail ballots are signed. It takes time to VERIFY the signature.
The most corrupt Supreme Court in HISTORY agrees that mail ballots can be counted after election day -
WHEN THEY'RE POST-MARKED ON ELECTION DAY. Not our fault a fat, bald, child-raping moron selects incompetent
people to run the Post Office.

What's 3rd World Crap is making it harder for people to vote, then "magically" The Party's candidate gets 100% of the vote.

You stupid, vapid, cock-sucking MAGA fag.
