Reports of this happening in Tennessee. https://www.wsmv.com/2026/10/21/early-voting-concerns-were-brought-head-tennessee-elections-heres-what-he-said/

I bet lots of these electronic voting machines have been upgraded to automatically fix votes accidentally cast for the wrong candidate.

modified clip from Tim and Eric Awesome Show. Great Job.

    Anyone who still believes that the U.S. is a democracy should educate themselves.

        I’m afraid you completely misunderstand what dictatorship means. The U.S. has been an oligarchy for a long time, because the citizens have allowed it and continue to do so to this day. Now, as a logical consequence, the screws are being tightened. If there were still one last chance, resistance would be called for right now. But since that isn’t happening, it will come down to what you’re already mistakenly assuming.

        I’m sorry to have to say this, but the current situation is only the beginning.

          Where exactly did I display a misunderstanding of dictatorship? I agree with your general point, but your patronizing tone over red herrings gets a downvote.

          I thought it was because you guys have a pathetic system that was easily subverted?

          There seemed to be a few moments where he was almost impeached and removed; but every time the answer to “wait, you can do that?” was “yes, and apparently without consequences.” Your checks and balances amounted to empty threats and warnings, as he bunt down everything around him.

          Try the same shit in any country with a prime minister and they’d be torn apart and on the street by a month. It shouldn’t be the average citizen’s problem to enforce the laws of your own country on your president. Therefore I don’t think the blame rests with them either.

      It’s so infuriating American’s seem to be lost in the woods. “It’s totally fine, we have checks and balances, the system can’t be subverted”.

      Good job trying to help Republicans though. Nobody knows you’re doing it because you’re so smooth about it. I’m sure you’re some kind of anarcho-socio-communist or something. Yay you.

      They also write propositions in confusing language so the voter doesnt exactly know if they should vote yes or no. Do you want to vote against not raising taxes on securities, house properties, including investment housing, and after death bequeathments?

        they do that in alot of areas beside red too. the past few elections all propositions, you cant tell if they are for or against the prop, if you voting yes/no on it. i think there is a recent one where someone wrote that a prop will give billions to a research center own with 3 employees in california, nothing suspicious about that.

      Super not confusing for your districts voters who are primarily 70+ year olds who probably can’t see very well anymore. Nothing suspicious about it. It a butterfly ballot, who hates butterflies? Everyone loves butterflies? Are you some kind of butterfly hating Cuban?
