Why Americans Mistrust Election Results More Than the Citizens of Any Other Democracy

 

[...] among democracies, America is essentially alone in having nearly half its population mistrust election results.  So, either America is cursed with a paranoid population, or there are valid reasons for Americans to mistrust their elections' results.

There is no question it is the latter.  America is unique among democracies in having half its people mistrust election results because America is unique among democracies in the way it conducts its elections.  [...]

Great piece by Mr. Prager.  He is right though, the mistrust in the US is due to how elections are conducted, and how that has devolved into a mass mail-in voting (which should only be available to those that actually need it, and not just all the lazy folks, or ballot harvesters), and secretive voting machine software.  Of course the political parties stoke this mistrust, and even though Democrats deny election results with every bit as much fervor as Donald Trump when they lose, for some reason they get the cover of the MSM and avoid the label of conspiracy theorists even though this is exactly what they are.

 

Anyway, I thought this was key.  Now the issue is that in the US, it is essentially 50 separate elections which is fine, I am not advocating a federal takeover of elections, but there should be some conformity as to how elections are handled, and the Carter-Baker Commission is a place to start.

 

America is almost alone among democratic countries in not requiring paper ballots. As of 2023, only Brazil counts all its ballots in national elections through electronic voting. According to Pew Research Center, votes are cast by manually marking paper ballots in 209 of the 227 countries. In France, as reported by the Associated Press, voters "use the same system that's been used for generations: paper ballots that are cast in person and counted by hand." In 2009, Germany's Federal Constitutional Court ruled that voting machines could no longer be used. In 2017, the Dutch government announced that all ballots in the 2017 general election would be counted by hand.

Bombshell Report Says Mike Morell, David Buckley Were on CIA Payroll When They Signed Hunter Biden Letter

 

A bombshell report released Tuesday afternoon by the House Judiciary GOP claims that at least two of the 51 "former" intelligence officials who signed a letter discrediting the Hunter Biden "Laptop from Hell" as Russian disinformation were actually on the CIA's payroll at the time they signed the letter - despite actively asserting that they didn't have access to any classified information.

 

Former Deputy Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley are the two signatories named in Tuesday's report as being on active contract at the time they signed the statement.  Since the CIA "declined to declassify the entire universe of signatories who were on active contract," though, it's unknown how many signatories were both colluding with the Biden campaign and on the CIA payroll.  [...]
