Reply to comment by Plane_Vanilla_3879 in At least 2 Pennsylvania counties fail to certify election results by deadline by BoggyRob

Every vote should be counted. Disenfranchising counties is travesty, no matter who's votes are being thrown out.

The voters should be angry as hell that their elected officials are nullifying their votes by not certifying

Right. The voters’ gripe is towards the people not certifying the results for unjustified reasons. Take it up with them. They’re elected officials after all.

Luzerne county resident here. My county has a good record of fucking up elections. It's usually local elections this is new territory for us but not surprising. I can't blame the officials for not certifying.

Except it is not their job to decide whether the votes should be certified. If they have problems they are to refer to the DA. They can be charged criminally for not doing their procedural duty. The duty to canvass elections is not discretionary, and that state law doesn't offer the officials any reason not to certify other than if they have not received all the returns, and that is not the case.

Except there has been piles of election tampering and no one gets charged.

Where’s the proof? Keep claiming elections are rigged and promoting candidates that lie about them. Worked out great for you in the midterms. They fed you shit sandwiches and you happily ate them up. Congrats on being duped.

Im referring to the the republicans tampering with elections. The constant recounts in arizona. The fake electors. The horrible threats to election workers. Those people all seem to do that stuff with impunity. Its infuriating something hasn’t been done. Given this history, Im struggling to believe any election official in Luzerne county will have any consequences.

Lol notice the difference between when they thought you were a republican vs when you say youre not. The statement is the exact same, all that changed was your affiliation in their minds and suddenly nobody downvotes you 😂 politics are laughable

I have zero sympathy for voters who vote for people who are put there superficially to block the democratic process. Fuck em, let them lie in the bed they made.

But what about the voters who didn't vote for this nonsense. No matter where I live, I want my vote to count, regardless of whether I'm surrounded by antidemocratic neighbors.

Time to stop fraternizing with those loons. I know they can be nice in a person to person sense, but anyone radicalized enough to believe the election was rigged has a lack of critical thinking skills and that probably goes further than politics

Stop fraternizing?

So, they should move?

Nah. If my neighbor was hanging flags that the election was stolen and just being a general degenerate, I would say hi and move on. You don’t need to break bread with people who are totally untethered from reality
