It's pretty straightforward. Those SOBs are cheating.

Here’s the raw truth: a republic doesn’t collapse when people ask questions—it collapses when they’re punished for asking them. Stone is right about one thing above all—confidence in elections isn’t a press release, it’s a process. You don’t get trust by demanding silence; you get it by opening the books. When systems become too complex to understand and too guarded to examine, people assume the worst. That’s human nature, not extremism. The real danger isn’t skepticism—it’s the institutional arrogance that treats doubt like a crime. If they want trust back, they know exactly what to do: show the receipts.

Drop and Roll??/ Still hasn't been explained to any logical cause, other than whole scale cheating

If paper ballots stamped with your finger print ink spot done in person on Election Day then hand counted are good enough for 3rd world nations, I believe they are good enough for elections in America, besides that would save money!

Well said, Sir. There is absolutely no possible way to provide a chain of custody using mail-in ballots. Worse, there is no possible way to provide a transparently reliable chain of custody using a machine wherein no one can see or verify what an electronic voting machine is doing. Double no chain of custody whammy. Rigged voter rolls provide a third whammy. Counting ballots is a simple additive process taught early on in grade school. Only greedy con-artists with wildly subversive imaginations and a deep hatred for honest elections in America would propose that expensive proprietary software wielding complex systems of 8th degree equations MUST be used to add 1+1. Only the braindead can believe this con makes sense, which speaks volumes about our apparent gullibility as voters.

The majority candidates have no reason to want cheating. It is always the minority candidates who are desperate. There is only one minority in the USA that persistently seeks to impose their minority as overlords, even though they are 2%-3% of the population. This cohort needs a pyramid structure to government, where the public is at the bottom taking orders from the top. However, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people implies an inverted pyramid structure, where the majority of the public controls their government via constitutional law.
