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.

Of course, injuries only count if and when you want them to count, right?

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.
Answer now is don't give in; aim for a new tomorrow.

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.

"You may be right."
You really have trouble grappling with reality. Is it genetic? Behavioral? A result of sucking Trump cock?

It's because he doesn't want to. You can't reason your way out of a position you emotioned yourself into.

The "Blue Lives Matter" people killed more police officers in four hours than Antifa did in nine months.
