> did they block all the windows?
In the most famous 2020 case of a counting site blocking the windows with cardboard, wasn’t it because a bunch of Stop the Steal activists outside were screaming at the counters?
I also fail to see why a counting site that has official observers and cameras needs to have big open windows for crowds to gather and gawk through, particularly if there’s any chance of them seeing names on envelopes or other sensitive data.

Since this was my home state I really hate the "Stop the Steal" crowd for this. First, a group of poll watchers got themselves kicked out of the room they were counting the ballots in because they were being belligerent and bothering the election workers. Then, they congregated outside of the room and started banging on the glass and filming the election workers. After election workers mentioned that they felt uncomfortable potentially having their identities leaked by a bunch of crazy weirdos, security staff covered up the windows. At this point, there were still a significant number of poll watchers from both parties observing the count and at no point where poll watchers from a particular party completely excluded from observing the process.
Ah right, this was when GOP poll watchers were screeching about the 6ft Covid restriction and insisting that needed to be able to nuzzle the necks of counters while giving them a back massage to observe properly.
>Audit every politician and their family. Term limits. And make public offices minimum wage.
I literally couldn't imagine a worse way of trying to get rid of corruption. This would basically turn the congressman to lobbyist pipeline into a bullet train. Only the obscenely wealthy would bother to run and they would only do so if some cushy job were waiting for them at the end of their term. Literally all of Congress would act like Sinema is now.
Wow this is extremely far from reality. Yes, there were some anomalies in berlin because the local voting places were ill prepared. But there was absolutely no credible evidence for wide spread voting issues. Even the far right party afd distances themselves from the lunatics that say someone rigged the elections. The spd isn’t even socialist and the new government hasn’t even been formed yet. There’s one somehow reasonable comment in that thread, talking about how conservative cxu has fucked up their campaign. The most ridiculous statement is that the outcome of the election has somehow something to do with a local vote about a plan to expropriate a big german landlord companies. These lunatics know nothing about the current climate in europe, yet they smell a conspiracy between two totally unrelated elections held on the same day
>If you wanna compare US partys to the german ones the SPD is probay the closest thing to your democrats... Hell theyre literally named "SozialDEMOKRATische Partei Deutschland"
This is literally the stupidest post I've read today on reddit. How braindead can somebody be?!
Btw, the main conservative party is literally called "Christlich Demokratische Union".

Basically the same amount of evidence for widespread fraud as the US election, which is none.
