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.

Death. No officers were straight murdered, not to mention way more protesters and rioters were injured than police. Party of personal responsibility folks, tribal politics at its worst. Good job runaway, best plan on making good on that nick before the feds moron labe you.

And, I'll remind you that no officers were "straight murdered" in D.C. either. There is video evidence that he was assaulted, and battered, but there is little indication that his death was intended. We'll wait for the trial to learn more details, I think.

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. Killing some people somewhere will only make us sad and angry, not afraid of Meal Team 6.

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?

I readily recognize that it's simply wrong that the people are barred from entering The People's House. Closed sessions and assorted shitz, kept secret from the people.
No dead cops? The worst complaint is some guy used pepper spray on the police? Oh yeah - forgot - cops can have weapons, but real people can't. It's alright for cops to tear gas people, but people can't spray back. FACISTS!!
