Voter fraud isn't made any harder or easier by checking incoming ballots as they come in against the voter list and sorting them by precinct ahead of time.


To be clear I am talking about their entire approach to voting and not just counting them. Limiting mail in ballots, limiting early voting, limiting polling places, pushing for voter ID, pushing for a more proactive pruning of voter rolls, pushing against same day voter registration, and simply requiring registration at all. One side wants more people to vote and one side wants less people to vote. I can't get over how that latter side isn't considered un-American.


Please don't misinterpret a vocal minority as the will of 50% of the country. We all want every vote to be counted. There's a lot of drama and accusations flying around with emotions running hot.


I am not judging the people of this country. I am judging the actions of one of its political parties. I am asking how the people who support this party can justify the party's policies.


The most vocal of those minorities happens to be commander in chief of the world strongest, most heavily armed military. That makes the drama harder to ignore.


Plenty of people vote for Republicans who blatently don't want every vote to be counted. If you want every vote to be counted, stop voting for those candidates.
