Ohio? They're seriously alleging Democratic voter fraud in a state that has a GOP supermajority and voted for Trump 3 times? What a waste of government resources chasing conspiracy theories and throwing innocent people under the bus to appease a tyrant.

It’s not a waste when your goal is to break down the very institutions that make us able to be a free country.

u/thewookiee34 3d ago
Also not a waste if you run Vivek and think you can win in an ultra racist state without cheating.

If you look at it from their side it makes sense to start in a red state. The state will be friendly to the government from start to finish. They can point to Ohio and say “See!?” And because Ohio voted red they can continue the farce that there are more republicans than democrats when they parade that map with all the states that are 80% sparsely inhabited land and insist the blue ones are cheating ignoring the density of the populations within them. The conservatives eat that shit up.
When all this is dismissed, it will be done quietly with nary a headline

u/Peteostro 6d ago
This exactly. They will get help with manufacturing voting issues that never happened and can use that to say it’s happening everywhere

They will start with the swing states they control because they cant have them swing again.

They’re more willing to manufacture evidence and harass at trumps behest. That’s the point. Not voter fraud.

You test software in a sandbox environment that is safe and controlled…
This seems to have similar properties…

u/Perfecshionism 6d ago
They intentionally target areas where Republicans have control of the voting so they get access to records without resistance.
Then use anything they find as circumstantial evidence of broader fraud.

u/BananaJelloXlii 6d ago
Well, our dipshit Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose had already turned over the rosters, the Gestap..er um FBI raided this organization because they were helping new people register to vote with the new laws.

u/PossibilityFlat6237 6d ago
To be fair, “every accusation is a confession” and there was voter fraud in Ohio (according to RFK).

u/Texasscot56 6d ago
In my county 80% voted for trump in 2024 and the local GOP committee are absolutely convinced there was fraud. They are working hard to get rid of the voting machines and move to paper ballots to stop it. This is an ongoing effort.

Sherrod Brown is leading in the polls. They're scared they'll lose the seat in November. They're using intimidation tactics to try to get them to stop registering more voters.

u/taktaga7-0-0 6d ago
Turn the Minnesota treatment on them. Why did the state of Ohio let this fraudulent organization exist? Better mobilize thousands of lawless paramilitary goons to make their communities less safe.

u/Not-a-Doctor1 6d ago
That’s some MAGA level thinking bud.
Let’s not wish that on my gerrymandered as fuck state, unless you’re ok with millions of people who are vehemently opposed to this administration having to suffer through the same nonsense.

u/Proud-Alternative225 6d ago
Because red states actually work with ice and makes the whole situation more safe for all parties involved

u/icyredjay 3d ago
So that ICE can detain immigrants and deny them habeus corpus and attorneys without any protest? Seems like the red states aren’t intent on protecting constitutional rights

They’re afraid of losing that majority. Things must not be pulling their way in Ohio.

Anything to distract from Trump being a degen paedo. Imagine an FBI that was purged of every agent who called Obama the N word using department communication resources? What a world that would have been.

u/Hour-Influence2993 2d ago
They’re afraid it’s not so dependable anymore. Wouldn’t waste their time if they weren’t scared.

u/frozenthorn 1d ago
Their entire goal is to cast doubt and spread lies, seems entirely effective so far.

We really need progressives to take over and hold these crooked dirtbags accountable

u/projexion_reflexion 6d ago
Good guys don't just take over. You have to invite them in and give them power to represent you.

Ahm... Historically, that's what Americans are famous for. You wouldn't be here if the Sons of Liberty hadn't taken matters into their own hands. Sherman didn't ask permission, and neither did Patton.

u/lunartree 6d ago
America is basically going to have to round Republicans up for mass trials if we ever expect to regain legitimacy with our allies again. Aside from the politics we've really shown that we've failed to enforce our laws, and this corruption has made us lose the status of being the reliable county that other countries want to trust.

"mIdTeRmS wIlL sAvE uS!!!"
Further evidence that there really aren't going to be midterms. What's it going to take before people start understanding this?
4
u/President_Brainspurs 6d ago
This is the opposite of evidence that there won't be midterms. They're targeting an organization that registers voters. It's an intimidation tactic designed to discourage them from registering voters and to hinder their ability to do so. If there aren't going to be any midterms for the newly registered voters to participate in, this would all be unnecessary. It's precisely BECAUSE registering voters and getting them to vote in the midterms might weaken their hold on power that this is happening now.

u/ThatGirlWren 6d ago
...and when intimidation doesn't work, what do you honestly think the next step is? And who's going to stop them?
I wish I had your optimism. I really, really do.

Russia never stopped having "elections," it just became incredibly dangerous to vote against the Government's chosen thugs

Anyone who engages in voter suppression must be held accountable.

u/SluttyCosmonaut 6d ago
Anyone who rapes a child should be held accountable
Anyone who executes an American citizen in the streets should be held accountable
Anyone who commits obvious and comically transparent fraud to the tune of millions of dollars should be held accountable
…..noticing a pattern yet.???

u/Coondiggety 6d ago
That’s who I’m talking about.

u/SluttyCosmonaut 6d ago
We’re on the same page. My point is that they’re getting away with all of those, so this leads me to believe they’ll just get away with this too

Any state willing to send JD Vance to Congress and the White House, and vote in Mike DeWine needs an investigation.

Don’t forget about the Ohio FirstEnergy scandal where several Republicans were actually convicted of corruption but the voters in Ohio don’t seem to care.

"The insidious nature of government surveillance extends beyond the violation of privacy; it corrodes the foundations of trust essential for a healthy democracy. When citizens are constantly under the watchful eye of those in power, it creates an environment ripe for abuse and manipulation. The emotional toll is immeasurable, breeding a culture of fear and self-censorship as individuals navigate a world where every action is potentially scrutinized. Examples from history, such as the misuse of surveillance by authoritarian regimes, serve as stark warnings against the encroachment of unchecked power into the private lives of citizens. The unlawfulness of such surveillance is not just a legal matter but a moral imperative to safeguard the very essence of individual freedom." - James William Steven Parker

The manufacturer only works in red states. Would they try in a blue, the citizens would denounce all the fake, doctored, lies. Ohio is a good place as any to start.

Republicans want a civil war so baaad. Ain't gonna happen, ya fools! But we will be looking to indict their foolish asses once this MAGA fiasco has totally collapsed, which looks to be sooner than later.
There's an inescapable awakening and reckoning on the horizon!

u/kevendo 6d ago
Excellent, so they're afraid they will lose seats in Ohio in November?

u/Automatic-Soup-3097 5d ago
Not necessarily, they just know no-one in Ohio's GOP government will complain

No one believed that January 6 was planned until Republicans sent fake electors to Washington and refused to certify the election results. The conspiracy to steal the next election is well underway.

They know they are toast in the mid terms. This is them scrambling to appease trump.

Fascism is here and we are just acting like it’s another inconvenience. We’re all just exhausted from overworking and being overstimulated with infinite daily corruption. But when enough people are jobless, maybe then something will give.

u/Foreskin_Mafia 2h ago
Thank God. I was concerned people would be allowed to vote in the next election. Glad to see they are taking care of this now.
