The problem is that many democratic ballots are being "challenged" and they are not counted.

The Dems never investigate. Many people are kicked of the voter list for no other reason than that they are black/Hispanic or young. Many polling stations are closed in Democratic districts, Ballot Dropbox's are removed/voter i.d. laws etc.. The GOP does everything in its power to prevent democrats from voting. The Dems are weak and have never challenged the lies and conspiracy theories about Biden, they never defend their own.

Bernie and a few Dems have the guts to speak out but the majority of Dems are bureaucrats happy to sit back and collect money from the bribers on Capitol Hill.

More general electoral reform is definitely critical. Although we currently have some expectation of meaningful elections they are hampered by voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election subversion techniques, highly influenced by oligarch-owned media, and our options are largely between politicians wholly owned by big money and those somewhat less influenced by it. Moves towards electoral reform are quashed in Congress by “moderates” or overturned by a corrupt judiciary. The next step is complete sham elections without any real opposition and suppression of dissent by the military as seen in outright dictatorships.

Only a concerted resistance can turn around this dangerous trend and move towards restoring freedom and democracy. The 2026 midterms are the first critical milestone.

RESIST!!!
