The German owned political newspaper 'Politico' published this article a few weeks ago:

'The voting machine hacking threat you probably haven’t heard about'

'We watched hackers break into voting machines' - CNN

'This is how elections are s+olen'

Wow
Talk about sore losers already
Dumb scare tactics from the right
Still believe in the big lie
TRUMP LOST
TRUMP WILL LOSE AGAIN

As expected, sensing a Biden win, the dems aren’t wasting any time turning Washington DC and Puerto Rico into States.

They started the process yesterday, passing a DC statehood bill in the House.

Two more permanent dem senators and one congressman.

When they control the Senate, the bill will succeed.

Puerto Rico is next.


This could do it for DC.

The bill only needs to pass by a simple majority in the Senate.

It would of course be bad for the Republican party, but isn't it silly that people living in Washington, D.C. have no representation in the Senate?

As far as Puerto Rico...... we weren't formed as a nation with 50 states. I see no problem conferring statehood on Puerto Rico if that's what the people of Puerto Rico want. I've been to Puerto Rico twice. It felt like America to me.

I totally agree
Both places have more residents then some states that get 2 Senators
Fair is fair
Just as women finally got to vote
These Americans will get there

That is how the founders intended it.

Guam is another possible candidate for statehood.

It will be the end of the American multi-party system, giving permanent control of the Senate to the dems.

They will probably achieve permanent control with this election.

Not really. DC is not a state and should not be equal to states as an administrative district. It was not intended to be a permanent home for so many people as it has become. If they need senate representation just let them vote for and be part of Maryland delegation. That solves it.

Such BS
Your side could have won if solid Republicans ran instead of dumb Trumpers.
Some Trumpers lose and now the sky is falling

What the founders intended don't mean jack. They didn't intend to let woman vote

The 2022 Hurricane Season was actually a pretty good one at least Miami wise. Ian and Nicole spared us greatly. With Ian, we only had one day of bad rain and winds, and with Nicole we literally had about ONE HOUR of bad rain and winds. Central Florida however got really beat up by Ian and then Nicole beat them up some more. 😳 Miami got extremely lucky this Hurricane Season. 😃😏
Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts.

What an incredible story. Cop stops woman for suspected road rage. Cop parks right on the rail road tracks. Arrests woman and puts her in the Cop car that is on the track. Cops so intent on searching woman's car, they ignore train horn. Train plows right through the Cop car with the handcuffed woman inside.
Insanity

Hurricane activity cycles, 2005 or so was a peak with Katrina the worst. Enjoy this year as I believe we are going up from a trough.
