<<I think if we go back five years the COVID vaccine wins.>>

Indeed, the amount of people (even on this forum,) still telling easily disproven lies about the harmfulness of the COVID vaccine is scary. As thousands of unvaccinated people continue to die each week, its clear reality will not change their minds.

<<The election was definitely fudged - whether or not enough to change the result is in question.? But there are too many cases of dead people voting to be ignored.?>>

Only a few cases of dead people voting were found¡­.and in every case in 2020 and 2022 they were Republicans who cast a ballot for a dead person. Several other Republicans were also found guilty (or pled guilty) to other types of election fraud in 2020 and 2022, but none of them were enough to change any outcomes.

US elections are incredibly secure. People committing election fraud are caught and harshly punished (even if the fraud was accidental, such as released felons voting but not realizing some states permanently take away their voting rights.) Anyone who doesn¡¯t think so, needs to study up on all the mechanisms in place to prevent fraud. I¡¯d suggest volunteering as an election judge, so you can see first hand how election security works.


<<A complette reregistration at least once every four years along with voter ID requirements would go a long way toward protecting the real electorate from fraud.>>

How do you think that would prevent election fraud? Election fraud is extremely rare in the US. There is zero reason to think that voter ID would give better security than signature comparison. Also, voting is a constitutional right, unlike the 2nd amendment which says gun ownership should be ¡°well regulated¡±, there is nothing in the constitutional saying that registration should be required, must less registration every 4 years. No clearly we don¡¯t live in the days when everyone in town knew everyone and who could vote, so registration is a good way to make the election process fast and secure. But not every 4 years.
