Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ah, so the payouts from conservative media lying about them funnel right on back to the people who fueled the lies. Yet another reason monetary settlements are completely inadequate for justice in cases like this.

Their plan is to steal the midterms, and all elections moving forward. The time to establish an alternate US gov in blue states, which explicitly rejects fascism, declares the GOP a domestic terrorist org, removes FPTP, etc IS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Blue fascists won't come to the rescue, they are too busy enabling fascism.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Manifesting ~~destiny~~ election fraud

What states use Dominion? You got one year to fix this.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Quite a few, but not who you'd necessarily think. California uses them, for instance. There are a couple other points of failure, though, so using them to fake election numbers probably won't work in any state with blue state governments.

Sounds like the methods... Run a company down then buy it cheap and say you fixed it.
