100,000,000 or 1 -- It's Too Many

[AmyCrat]

I've been thinking about this since yesterday.

There are a lot of allegations flying around. Voter intimidation, disenfranchisement, mistakes, glitches, and fraud.

Is it one county or thousands? Is it isolated to small areas or much larger spread?

This is the United States of America. We tote ourselves as a free society, ruled by democracy. This democracy is something we seem to want to spread around the world, export to other countries so they can have the life of liberty we enjoy.

But what happens to democracy if even one vote doesn't count? Whether it's 100 million or 1 that wasn't counted, whether by glitch, goof or guile, it's too many.

This is the foundation on which we must take a stand. As democrats, we believe America is about freedom for all, equal rights for everyone, the amazing opportunities that lay before us, and the choices we have.

But what happens when those choices are taken away, when someone wants to decide for us, or when the system is so faulty, people feel they really have no choice?

Democracy is founded on the rule of the people, and the choices they make. When choice is gone, well what happens to democracy then?

Many great countries don't count votes for real...

Look at all this amazing company... wait... maybe not such cgreat company...but they're stabl... no, tha'ts not right.

We're screwed when our vote doesn't count because we aren't a democracy anymore, we're in a dictatorship regime which lies to the people, isn't that what we revolted over in 1776?
