In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

    It’s only f’ed if they lose (and don’t steal the election). So get out to vote everyone.

      We absolutely need to vote, but I’m worried that some of these R swing states are going to pull some serious shit and just deny certifying the results.

      We’re going to hear a whole bunch about “immigrants voting illegaly” and “ballot stuffing” or the good ol’ “the numbers (that we won’t provide) don’t match up! Dead people are voting!”

        they tried to pull alternate electorates in the 2020 election, and it didn’t work.

        If they’re swing state, they probably won’t i think. Because there would likely be some kind of massive poltiical uprising in response to blatantly overthrowing electorates like that. It would likely be deeply unpopular.

        it’s a concern, for sure, but unless they try to pull some real bullshit, i don’t think it’s a massive concern.

        This also doesn’t even discount proposing fraudulent votes, which im not sure would matter from a legal perspective, but if you’re just, lying about votes that you’re submitting, i wouldn’t be surprised if that was not exactly, clean.
