They are stuck so deep in their own bubble they literally cannot comprehend any more that elections can be won without cheating.

Is he trying to be serious? If so, WTF!?

Republicans: If people vote for Democrats, then it must be voter fraud. If they vote for Republicans, then it's legal.
Trelfar
The goal here is to devalue the accusation of stealing so that they can more easily shrug off legit accusations of illegality by them later.
JAPONfan
Yes, that's been a sore thing in any right wing party. Elections.
mastodonj
"Convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way" such wow, very fraud...

Republicans cannot win on policy, they have no ideas or solutions, the only way they can win is outright lies and cheating

Tell me you don't know how democracy works without saying it.

Republicans do "ballot harvesting" thing too, they're just suck at it and end up doing it illegally, so they bitch about it
AShartInTheWind
Like the fake ballot drop boxes in SoCal put up by Republican officials.

I thought this tweet was a joke

...which is why the GOP is trying to get rid of elections. In the presidential, the state legislatures can overturn the will of the people
Attaroo
and it's perfectly Constitutional at the federal level, and the vast majority of state Constitutions allow for it. We are going backwards.

I love this one.
PsistormIkura
The "legally" part is what the GOP is having issue with, and are trying hard to change.
OldSchoolNewRules
So getting people to vote is cheating.
Fnogg
How are conservatives supposed to win any elections if the libs resort to dirty tactics like having policies that are actually popular /s
magicrhombus
The left: "You win by getting people to vote for you." The right: "You win by stopping people from voting against you."

How the fuck do you "seed" an area with absentee ballots? Drop ballot forms from an airplane?
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Because republicans are generally older and have more free time, they think people who work two jobs shouldnt be allowed to vote. 1/?
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
because, as it turns out, people who don't have 2 hours to stand in line to vote tend to be younger and vote democrat. 2/2

Im so confused . Is "in a legally valid way" supposed to be a bad thing?
thestudyofwambology
Unfortunately republicans are 100% set to win both houses in 2022

I say this as someone with roots in Kentucky on both mine and my SO's side - Kentucky's elected leaders are a fucking embarrassment

The best thing to come out of Kentucky this century is a fictional chess player.

You have both turtle and rand Paul…that’s fucking embarrassing.

Hey, we made it to Ohio where we have.....well.......Ah fuck, all we have is Gym Jordan.

nightduck32
Is it possible that Rand Paul was making this exact joke? I stopped being political, so idk what his stance on this is
malachilenomade
I don't understand what Paul was trying to imply... he just described the legal process of voting.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
He is trying to imply that Democrats go above and beyond to increase the ability to vote in democratic areas, but not republican. 1/?
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
There is also the implication that "mail in votes" aren't good votes because they think we dont track if a person has voted yet... 2/?
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Or the "they make up fake people, or vote as their dead relatives!" implications they try and push. But its just republicans angry that 3/?
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
someone other than old white people can vote and accusing others of what they themselves are doing. 4/4
malachilenomade
Now now, don't blame old white people. My mom is an old white person and she voted Biden.
ilovedogknots
Did he really say this?
MyRespectableAlterEgo
literally says “legally valid” as if that’s some special secret sauce. Imagine being so accustomed to fraud that the alternative shocks you.
BennyBean1
Yep... https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/1475542595673763848?t=lAf_bF89XHHtnDcHbt-J4Q

I've reported it for misinformation, which it is, but of course I don't expect "but it's too important" Twitter to do jack shit about it.
zoraniko
Right? Almost sounds like sarcasm. He’s losing it.
Thesavagehamster
Did he ever have it...?

"If I lose the election was stolen if I win it was valid." -Republicans (and Nazis)
TireeRunner
you said "Nazis" twice
SmokyDoggg
It will always amaze me how in their minds the same people who cheated trump didn't bother to cheat Bitch McCoward out of his seat
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Or wouldn't have made Georgia a clear victory
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
Republicans on the SAME ballots in the SAME districts THEY won but Trump LOST: ”Somehow voting was rigged!”... seriously WFT?
jskskj8888
That's my go to when someone says it was rigged. Luckily for me people who know me won't talk politics around me anymore ?
SamuthNBS
Pretty sure the Nazis didn't need to steal elections.

And 2016 Democrats, 2000 Democrats...
PerpetualExhaustion
Ahh yes, please point to me all the times Democrats filed dozens of baseless lawsuits alleging electoral fraud? Did they have their
PerpetualExhaustion
Mouthpieces go on national television for months after the fact and continue allege widespread fraud, even after it had been thoroughly
PerpetualExhaustion
Disproven? Did their democratic opponents refuse to concede (and still refuse to concede, to this day?) Did Democrats use the power of the
PerpetualExhaustion
Presidency in order to call state electoral officials, pressuring them to “find” votes? Did Hillary call legislative leaders in any states
Thajurriesexcuesed
Following breadcrumbs where they go & Drumph falsely claiming to have been cheated out of it before election day are not equivalent.
Vanderhugen
I mean in 2000 Jeb Bush threw out tens of thousands of Gore votes and a conservative majority Supreme Court upheld giving George the win
dontrike
Go read a book on history when it comes to both of those elections.
TheRealArclight
PrecogFrogOnALog
Don't remember democrats ever crying it was stolen if they lost before the election happened. Whining about EC sure, but not about cheating.
pastelteapot
uhhh and that wasn't the dems when Trump won? Remember the Russia narrative?
VesuvianPrime
Dems are continually disappointed because repugs win despite losing the popular vote. It's not the same argument.
WaveMotionGum
People get this wrong a lot. There was no narrative that Russian interfered with actual voting.
WaveMotionGum
Nor with vote counting.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
... but Russia actually interfered in the 2016 elections. And Trump loved him for it.
WaveMotionGum
No. They interfered with the campaigns but not the actual elections themselves.
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
Interference is interference and they had no business doing it.
WaveMotionGum
Well, yes, fuck them. The difference is that the election itself was legitimate, and no one can legitimately claim that it wasn't.
VitaminJay
Heads I win tales you stole it I won it by a lot stop the count sent in the clowns! (/S, clearly....)
