Reporter tracks down Jan. 6 protester who told her to ‘run’
On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.
Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.
You're viewing a single thread.
"They..they..they..found ballots.."
And that's when I stopped watching.
That was enough crazy stupid for me.
Yeah, what kind of reporter/interviewer doesn't immediately follow up with:
Who is "They?"
Where did "they" find these ballots?
Whose ballots were they? Surely they have names on them??
After "they" found them, what did "they" do with them? Surely they would parade this proof around on the news circuits or put them on display somewhere since it's supposedly a corner stone of their narrative?
No?
Interesting. End of interview. Stop giving these jerkoff whackjobs a platform.
Ballots don't have names on them. Otherwise, yeah, all questions that should have been asked.
Ballots don't have names on them? How the fuck do they verify that it's 1 vote per person then? Mail-in ballots sure as fuck have names on them.
Mail-ins have a name on the outside of the envelope, not on the ballot itself. In person, I believe the standard practice is to check-in in some way, providing a record that this specific person voted, but not their specific choices. The specifics will vary by state, but that's the gist.
They have a list of people that are registered to vote. They mark off the people on the list who have voted so they can't vote twice. But when the person actually votes it's done outside the sight of anyone else (sometimes behind a curtain) so no one knows who they voted for.
There was a time when there were gangs outside of polling stations that would beat the shit out of people that didn't vote how they wanted. And considering how insane the MAGAs are, it's not too improbable this kind of thing could happen again if it weren't for having a secret ballot system.
