Tell me again about election security and integrity regardless of who ends up with the win.

There absolutely needs to be changes in the system to restore faith in the security of elections.

There needs to an overwhelming 'total' or 'very confident' faith in our elections or people on the losing side will always question the results. In the latest Pew poll of voters, less than half of the people were "very confident" that votes cast at a polling place would be counted as the voter intended. This dropped to 20% for mail-in ballots*

This is also a bi-partisan issue and the view changes depending if the voter's candidate won the election or not. Looking at both Republican and Democrat, there was widespread comments coming for Clinton supporters and aligned candidates that the election was stolen when Trump was elected. Ditto for the Trump supporters and aligned candidates when Biden was elected.

However, when looked at it pre- and post-election, those same supporters had more confidence in the voting system when their candidate won (faith in the election system was low for Trump supporters before 2016 and much higher post-election and the same with Biden supporters - much higher post-election).

Bottom line: No matter who you support, faith in our election system is lower today than it was in the past. This is unacceptable and things like this just fuel the fire that there are shenanigans that occur. Add to it that there IS documented fraud that happens (on both sides) and you get what you have today.

* For mail-in ballot, 42% didn't have any faith that votes would be counted correctly.

Such garbage. Apparently everything absolutely shit the bed in 2020 up through today. Not very reassuring for citizens.
