Who’s ignorant?

You guys have spent so much time on Nairaland parading falsehood and get upset when you’re challenged on your bold lies and yes ignorance because you’re the ignorant one

The point is, make your argument without resorting to name-calling.

That's the mark of intelligence and emotional maturity.

My earlier comment wasn't even about you in particular, just a trend I've noticed in general.

This is Elon Musk Speaking against Electronic voting in a country as advanced as the USA because of the risks involved yet people in Nigeria wont allow us rest because they want E-voting/transmission

Electronic voting is far different from electronic transfer.

This is a sensitive issue with far-reaching implications beyond the US and as usual, sentiments will be rife. But if we want to be reasonable and responsible citizens, we should be concerned and knowledgeable about these issues.

As challenging as mail-in ballots can be in elections, it has been used as far as back the US Civil War days (c.1860s) and the rates of fraud have been very negligible.

"Despite claims of vote fraud when voting is conducted outside of polling places, only 0.00006% of the 250 million votes by mailed ballots nationwide were fraudulent [in 2016], according to MIT political scientists who analyzed numbers from the Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database"

As for electronic voting, "In 2006, about 31% of registered voters were living in areas that used paperless electronic voting. For the November [2022] midterms, that number is expected to dwindle to about 5%, according to data from Verified Voting."

The claims of fraud are basic misinformation and dangerous for any reasonable country. But since the Republicans don't seem to have any sensible relatable policy, they have resorted to using the tactics of fascim..

Fox News did this on a very large scale and got sued and had to settle one of the companies involved in electronic voting with 787m USD.

If there was no case, they wouldn't pay a dime.

If you readily find yourself believing conspiracy theories and you can't even separate facts from fiction, how will you be able to live in real life and succeed?

Trump knew that he lost the 2020 election fair and square and he admitted as much in close circles. The J6 House inquiry and the special investigation by Jack Smith have revealed a lot that happened behind closed doors between Nov 2020 and Jan 2021.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66388176
https://www.commoncause.org/democracy-wire/indictment-8-times-trump-knew-he-lost/

Not to talk of the recounts that were made in some swing states (even by Republican-backed groups), there was nowhere that Trump won (that he previously lost). That's how good the election was.

If someone has repeatedly lied, why should I be inclined to believe him?
If he thought there were sufficient electoral fraud claims, why is he running again?
In that same 2020 election, in some counties where Trump lost, Republicans won House and Senate races. Is that fraudulent?

You can't always cry foul when you lose. What kind of person will you be?

It is clear he has being convicted on one of the cases against him. "Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records."

One of the meanings of Conviction, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the act or process of finding a person guilty of a crime, especially in a court of law.

That was just an example.

When you add in up all the categories of people who use mail in ballots purely out necessity, that’s a lot of votes that statistically is left leaning . Republicans know this. Their angst against mail in ballot is just their attempt at disenfranchising anyone who’s likely not to vote for them. Just like they gerrymandered districts into oblivion

Anyone supporting a convicted felon and woman molester is very slow thinking. Was he convicted by a jury or not? Was he not convicted in the E. Jean Carol case or not? As with all Trumptards, the courts are biased and politically motivated when their cult ruler is convicted but not when Biden's son is. How morally bereft can you be when your cult leader had to pay hush money to a IndecentStar. Tufiakwa!!! To the waste of funds that has miseducated you and all who wish well for a well known KKK lover.
