Our silver tongued, self-adoring, “Father of the Vaccine” has proven to be a liability to the Republican Party. He has to go for the Republican Party to have a future.

Totally agree. He won’t win in 2024.

There will be some improvement beginning January 3rd, but the U.S. government is so corrupt, the swamp ("deep state," "permanent government") is so vast that little will change, and we will go blundering forward to our eventual demise. We certainly can't trust our elections because the software which counts the votes is proprietary. Easy enough for a programmer to weight votes, for example, giving a Democrat vote a value of 1.1, and a Republican vote 0.9. There are much more sophisticated means than this, of course. The voters, however, are not allowed to see how their vote is counted because these are trade secrets. I do expect that Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul will make some of the weasels squirm, and perhaps some indictments, although this is at the discretion of the thoroughly corrupt Department of Justice. What we really need for justice for the victims of this iatrogenocide is a Nuremberg II, but there is no mechanism in U.S. law to bring this about.

I don’t know whose idea it was to have voting machines. In Australia we use paper ballots and a complex preferential voting system, but still we have results the same evening.

52% of the votes in our election went to Republican candidates, 48% to Democrats.

Ely: Most U.S. states use paper ballots, also, but they are tabulated by machine. A few states use touchscreen machines, without producing a paper ballot. This makes auditing by hand recount impossible.
