When all the votes are counted this year, Americans should have far more confidence their votes were tallied correctly than in 2016.
After that contest was upended by Russian interference, states vastly increased the number of votes that are cast with paper records that can be audited later. More than 90 percent of votes will have a paper record this year compared with about 80 percent in 2016.
States have also significantly improved how often and how scrupulously they perform post-election audits.
The changes have been especially significant in some of the states ... contested by Trump.
Georgia and Pennsylvania have both shifted from having paper records for few or none of their voters in 2016 to having paper records for all votes cast in their states — a protection security experts say is a bare minimum to ensure votes weren’t altered by hackers or miscounted because of a technology failure.

I'm quite tired of that asshole question. Democrats don't define my duties to the Constitution of the United States. The question itself is yet another demonstration of the fascist tendencies of the left.
I STILL do not see an "insurrection" as you guys like to call it. I most certainly DO SEE that some of the demonstraters got out of hand, and committed criminal acts. Those criminal acts should be dealt with - and stop the fricking witch hunt. There is no widespread insurrection against the Constitution of the United States.
If you really want to push your fool's question, I am far more inclined to join the protesters against Biden, than I am to join in the witch hunt.
Do you even understand why one party is prevented from interpreting the constitution? Do you have a clue how quickly you and your Dems could set up a fascist enforcement force that would rival any of those in Europe in the early 1900's?
Be careful what you wish for. I may be the insurrectionist next year if things are pushed too far.

Anti Democrat and anti democracy aren't spelled the same, nor are they synonymous.
Your party has spent four years openly fighting the duly elected president of the United States. See my sig. Your party has actively fought the will of the people of this nation for four years. See my sig again.
Despite all the resources of the Democrat party, and the media in bed with them, I still don't think this past election as fair and accurate. Whatever happened to that truckload of ballots sent from New York to Pennsylvania? How were all those ballots - basically half a tractor-trailer load of ballots - ever explained? They've been destroyed, no fair and impartial arbiter will ever figure out WTF those were all about.
As I say, I've far more likely to become an insurrectionist against the Democrat party, than I am to do anything you would like me to do. Just keep pushing the witch hunt.

He died as a direct result of injuries sustained in that assault and battery with a fire extinguisher to the head. That's at least 2nd degree murder in most places.

You may be right. If I have all the threads of that story in order, the man returned to his precinct, under his own power, where he collapsed, before being taken to hospital. Chances are, he died as a result of head injuries suffered in that attack, but I've not read a coroner's report to that effect. Could have been a heart attack, for all we know.
I'm curious about those other deaths which have been attributed to "natural causes". Most recently, I read that a woman was trampled to death, but the others remain mysteries.

The cattle rancher assholes that did an armed occulation of a federal building asshile. I remember that story around here too and as usual you treason types were all about flexing 2nd amendment rights and standing up to the big bad feds. CHAZ was a weird little experiment in anarchy which had no problems aside from the unrelated murder. Caputol hill police were killed and quite a large group of thw terrorists wanted to murder Pence and Pelosi.
Keep it up boyo, let everyone around here see that Azuma and Ari have been speaking truth no matter how much you whinge about tone. "Don't believe your eyes and ears, the MSM is lying to you," Trump said. You qultish buy-in would be funny if it didn't carry real threats of domestic terrorism.

I hate when anyone occulates a federal building - even the assholes in Portland and Seattle and Kenosha.
While you're remembering CHAZ, could you tally up the total of injured and the dead? I think there was more than just the one murder. Also, that video of all those clock-suckers in CHAZ abusing, denigrating, and attempting to murder a reporter whom they didn't like. We do, all of us, understand that "anarchy" is just a pretty word for describing "lawless motherfuckers", don't we?
