If you feel the need to torture yourself for a while, the Fall River County Commission listened to the election conspiracists go on ad nauseum about absentee balloting, until one of them just had enough, as he told the election nut to take it to the Secretary of State, and that after bending over backwards to make unhappy people unhappy, he was tired of the bull****.”
Start watching at around 2 hours and 40 minutes, and you’ll want this person to shut up as well:
Is the 45th President of the United States an “election nut” too? Where do you think these local “nuts” have all dredged this garbage up from? Oh yeah, from HIM!! Almost four years later and he still claims he won “by a lot”, but it was stolen from him by rampant voter fraud –despite not a shred of evidence. In fact, ALL real evidence presented (and multimillion dollar defamation settlements) have proven the falsehood of his lies…. and yet he persists because his fragile ego can’t abide losing a golf game or an election or anything else, and so he lies and cheats and pretends that he wins every.single.time. What do you expect his loyal supporters to do? They MUST parrot his lies or they risk excommunication by Dear Leader. It would be really great if you would just come right out and assign the blame smack dab where it belongs, instead of harassing the locals who are just mimicking the Pied Piper.
Mr. Falkenburg is a swell fellow, by most accounts.
Fall River hand counted and guess what, the canvASSers still weren’t happy. Shocker…
beyond bizarre that the nutjob there doesn’t understand early voting.
When you live 10-20 miles from your polling place, you vote when you make a trip into town for something else. You don’t make a special trip on election day.
If you have to head to the county courthouse to renew your vehicle registration, pay your property taxes, or report for jury duty, if early voting has already started, that’s when you vote. It’s easier that way.
We can thank Trump for that one too.
Thanks, Trump. Sowing discord in our elections because he lost and cannot accept it. Also, thanks to all who didn’t push back on his conspiracy theories – because, let me say it again. He lost. Again, here we go with reap/sow…
My focus was on state politics and hoped those in the GOP were better than to fall for the seeds being planted during Trump and enablers the “Stop The Steal” rhetoric and campaign long prior to the election. Many fell for it hook line and sinker which contributed to January 6th and continue to pay for it.
I was constantly amazed at how easily MAGA Trump supporters including my party unit chair, board members and delegates fell for rumors and conspiracies without making any effort whatsoever to authenticate them which after taking the time to research and verify with sources turned out to be completely false. Sometimes all it took was a phone call. “I heard it from a friend or my friend heard it from his uncle”.
There were 3 very conservative counties in SD that rejected the nut job ordinance petition to do away tabulation machines. Did some on the extreme far right fall hook line and sinker for election conspiracy rhetoric? Yep. But those three votes very much show that the actual republicans did not. Don’t conflate the two.
It’s one thing to be an election-denier, and another to be someone who recognizes that without public confidence in the integrity of our elections, we will have civil disturbances and violence.
Please don’t confuse the two.
3 counties voted. All 3 counties showed they have confidence in the current system.
It is not a matter if computers can count faster or more accurate it is a matter about which system is the least corruptible. It is easier to corrupt one vote counting machine then the 5 to 10 voting centers with multiple election workers that are your neighbors and with poll watchers that you also know. People have the right to an election process that they trust.
Nice copy-paste BS from every other recent post focusing denialist insanity. Prove that the machines have and can be corrupted. Bring out the data. Fact is three counties just said they don’t trust your ilk.
Give it a rest would you please? Did you just move here to South Dakota recently? Not too long ago?
Tripp County 2022 election… Enough said.

First, i agree these people are expressing views not based on facts. Machine counting is not the same as machine counting. In the former, there are still paper ballots.
Second, i agree the establishment ignores legitimate views that question their decisions or competence.
The Primary ballots were relatively easy to count (by hand – fingers and toes?) but for the General Election things will necessarily be more complicated. Counties do not pay Poll Workers enough to show up at 6 AM to open the polls (by 7) and then count ballots until ??? after checking in voters all day. Never mind speed and accuracy.
Try this at home: Get 4 people to make random selections on 15 questions (probably about the number of races/issues on the Nov ballot). Have them count the results and see if there are any discrepancies. Then tell me how “hand counting” is superior.
I’ll wait.
Talking about the blind? If you trust blindly government, computers, and cell phones you are the sheep being led by the Judas goat. If you think computers are not corruptible you do not know computers.
If you think people aren’t corruptible, you are mind bogglingly dumb. Study after study shown hand counts to be less accurate and trustworthy. You just have vague paranoia.
No one said people can not be corrupted?? It is how to control the corruption. One person that is installing, maintaining, etc a computer can change a whole election. One person that is a corrupt ballot counter will be turned in by other counters. A whole precinct of corrupt election workers would have a hard time covering up what they did.
Look at this fool and laugh. Laugh at him for he thinks he is knowledgeable and passes their ignorance as wisdom.
Laugh at him as he doesn’t understand how voting machines are regularly audited and calibrated to ensure accuracy. Laugh at him because he believes Pillow Man, and Pillow Man is naught but a fraud and has no proof of his lies either.
It appears you do not Know!
You still haven’t proven any of your conspiracy claims. Maybe that’s why you canvASSers keep losing, no proof.
Regardless of how we each feel about this, shouldn’t we ALL be able to agree that as long as the undisputed national leader of our party continues to falsely claim rampant fraud and a fake “victory” in 2020, we are going to see gullible local citizens parroting similar lies? It amazes me that ANYONE can be surprised or puzzled by this phenomenon. We must always remember that facts no longer matter.
Your problem is that over 50% of the voting public think 2020 election was amiss. Calling the person that calls out corruption corrupt is not an argument.
THEN PROVE IT. For 4 years you all have whined about election corruption and NEVER PROVED IT. Not once. And you never will. And despite that, you’ll just keep believing and then use that belief as a justification for it being real. God, you’re such an idiot that it physically pains me.
