@realcaseyrollins The fact that anyone votes for is astonishing. There is a large segment of voter that is under the mistaken impression that it's mature and reasonable to vote not for the candidate that they agree with the most but the one that's most "electable". These people are of course victims of an imposed insanity and bear significant responsibility for the continued transformation of the Democratic party into the Republican party.

@terryenglish I'm not so sure people are; it's a conspiracy theory at this point, but I wouldn't be shocked if all the primaries have been rigged in #JoeBiden's favor. He won a whole lotta states nobody in their right mind thought he'd win, and several states (particularly #Virginia), were literally called for him less than 15 seconds within the closing of the polls.

@realcaseyrollins @terryenglish calling states shortly after closing is reasonable given exit polling, heck, some states you could call before closing even. but yeah there's some amount of evidence for rigging

@mewmew

I think its a shady practice because states dont all vote on the same day, so calling one state, especially if that call is 100% certain, can alter the result of an election.

IMO all primaries should be held in all states on the same day at the same time and exit polling should be illegal. Otherwise the people who vote early will sway the vote for people who vote later in the day, that isnt fair IMO.

@realcaseyrollins @terryenglish

@freemo @realcaseyrollins @terryenglish well yeah, calling early states is kinda shady because it encourages people in later states not to vote (see: California).

ranked-choice with same-day primaries would be ideal

@mewmew

It goes beyond that, not just it causes people not to vote. But it also causes people to vote more or change their vote as well.
