ROF: Trump Just Destroyed American Elections By Firing Those In Charge Of Election Security



Donald Trump loves to talk about “election interference” and “rigged elections,” but his actions show that he doesn’t actually care about those things. The president made the move this week to begin firing the very people in charge of election security in this country, leaving our systems more vulnerable to the very things Trump has whined about for years – except now they could actually happen. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.



Election Interference! OK, let's fire everyone securing elections.

Just an FYI, Elections are run by the States. Dan Sunday #1
I'm glad you brought that up BlueKentuckyGirl Sunday #2
Counties, run the Elections - the States just take the accumulated totals to report to the Fed. Dan Sunday #3

I was just thinking the same thing. Our elections are run by the states and even down to countywide.

That is why I was totally surprised that Harris didn't request recounts and also request a hand count in at least one of the swing states. If a serious discrepancy was found then it would have been more than likely, all the swing states would have been in error. Even if someone had changed the electronic counts the hand recount would have shown that. My thoughts.
