Weekslong deadlock in Missouri Senate ends as lawmakers advance bill curbing voter power

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth I don't understand where today's right gets that claim from. I was a lifelong Republican including my entire military career, and never saw Democrats cheat any more than Republicans. They were pretty much equal in terms of shenanigans, and that's from someone who campaigned for Nixon. Recent history has changed that dynamic towards Republicans though.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Ever since Clinton I have shifted right. Him and Hillary set the tone for the lying cheating way of the democrat party. Both sides will kiss a baby when the cameras are on but steal their lollipops when they are off. BUT the democrats in the last couple of elections to include Baracks last one soured me. I know it has not been proven and there is no "smoking gun" but when I went to bed on election night they were calling it for Trump cause there was really no way for Biden to catch up then I wake up the next morning and Biden had won. I just think the Dems will lie, cheat, and steal anyway and anyhow to get reelcted and keep their power. I know there are some republicans that do the same and I know it is abroad brush but that is my opinion and my opinion only...before folks onhere start lambasting and trying to destroy me.

Lt Col Scott Shuttleworth You remember that election night differently from me. Election was on a Tuesday and it wasn't until, I believe Saturday, that it was called for Biden. COVID caused a lot more mail ballots and it always takes longer for them to be counted. And before you go off on mail ballots, remember that in the 90s it was the Republicans that pushed them because they saw that as a way to get more of their people to vote. I should know because it was the Florida Republican Party that encouraged me to register for mail in ballots when I retired here.

Problem is at least with me here locally, my wifes dead grandmother, who has been dead for over 13 years got a mail in ballot and she was a registered democrat from way back and letters for democrats encouraging her to get out and vote. My in laws got three mail in ballots each in two weeks. There were too many issues...one is an anomaly...two or more is a trend. How many times and where has that happened...I know mistakes happen but dang, there was enough issues with this last election that it warranted a deeper look but the dems wanted to rush it all through instead of ensuring it was all done right...then the he said she said started FROM BOTH SIDES...all that did was put doubt in American citizens minds about our election system/process.
