For how many years have mostly poor and minorities had to wait in line for hours just to vote? I didn’t understand why democrats kept letting it happen until I realized it was because they wanted people to do that.

This happened in Wisconsin too after Biden’s campaign told people that it was just fine for them to vote during a pandemic. But the only ones who got blamed for it was the republicans. Same with Georgia. And now Kentucky. 700,000 people have to vote at just one polling place? This should be taken to the supreme courts, but I’m only hearing crickets from democrats.

How many elections were even valid? This one will go down in history as one of the most corrupt and it started with Iowa. Obama strong arming other candidates to drop out except Warren to clear the way for Biden and Warren to siphon off votes from Bernie. Biden being declared the winner the day before any votes happened and then on the same night, but weeks before the states Bernie won took weeks? Big asterisk next to this election. **********

@snoopydawg Kentucky has a strong governor. Unfortunately, the Secretary of State administers elections. He is a card carrying Republican.
