Has anyone seen this on tik tok or YouTube? There is a lot to unpack here but if you watched, what are your thoughts? Have you made sure that your name is still on the voter records or taken any other steps to make sure that your vote will be safe if you live in a state that is trying to disenfranchise voters? Are you worried about any of this? ETA that the video is only 4 min long but talks about actions in various states as well as problems with the Save act. youtu.be/xaszgzPuW9E?si=A2gjZ1xKYjt-lZE2

Have you made sure that your name is still on the voter records or taken any other steps to make sure that your vote will be safe if you live in a state that is trying to disenfranchise voters? Are you worried about any of this? Alabama is currently being sued for purging their voters and Florida has also purged voters. I also saw where certain college campuses are having issues, again. Here's my thing: if you really had policies that people wanted in place, then you should want everybody to vote. When Roe v Wade was reversed and states immediately started banning abortions, we were told "let the states decide". Then, when states are trying to put it to a vote, there are 500 hoops to jump through while the GOP politicians try every single thing they can to reverse it (hello, Arkansas). Or, after it's been put to a vote BY THE PEOPLE, the GOP still tries to overturn it every chance they can (hello, Kansas). And don't get me started on "Swing States" and why only a couple of states are deciding the election... I'll keep checking my registration until I get my ballot in my hand, but the cheating has become real and November 5th is going to be a shit show.

The more Trump talks about cheating the more I wonder what they are up to. The swing states are the big “if” factors assuming that everything in the other states goes as predicted. All of the states matter but some are more of a variable due to them not always going one way or another. My opinion is that can always change so we can’t take anything for granted. I also wish that the electoral college represented the popular vote.

I have checked my voter registration 5 times this fall & I have a reminder in my phone to check it the day of the deadline.
I doubt it will go anywhere I just registered in my new address 2 years ago and voted everytime since, but I am in a gop controlled county so just in case the bullshit extends to here I’m checking.
I haven’t watched that video but I probably will.
In an unrelated note, my son just popped out the other day with ‘I didn’t realize the GOP had already stolen an election” and I was like, yes,they sort of did via the Supreme Court & hanging chads. It was ‘legal’ though so not 2020 standards.
Florida was supposed to do a state wide hand recount but the SCOTUS stopped it. I mean, maybe they did have enough votes to win Florida, but they should have done the recount and no one would be hinting that that election was ‘stolen’. It is also why I firmly stand that the election was not stolen by Biden in 2020 because his hand picked justices would have jumped on that had they one single shred of evidence. There was already the precedent for them to do it.
It is also why I take seriously the rumor that they have paid judges up their sleeves to steal the 2024 election. I do believe they will try in swing states.
I’m just hoping that it is a landslide too much to cheat.
