    Im not a US citizen, but I hereby declare myself the winner of the election so this nonsense can be over.
  • I've lived in Arizona my entire life, and I've been voting for 20 years. Every single year, in-person voters are ALWAYS given Sharpies. Every. Single. Year. It's not new, and nobody has ever complained about it before.
  • @bewmdogg
    The STOP THE COUNT and COUNT THE VOTES situation was utterly hilarious. What a bunch of incompetent tools.
  • @jademoon7938
    I've worked several elections, both for candidates and for the government, campaigns and polling. I was once working for a candidate and was also a count observer for the polling place, and they made me stand out of arm's reach, I was not permitted to conceal my hands or lean towards the table, and each vote was reviewed and counted by various counters, who laid them all out in groups for each candidate, and all the counters and observers had to count without touching them and give the tally, proving multiple people independently came to the same end result before anyone even makes a single mark on the space for results, let alone records a number. I've also done the registration booth where I had to take the few government issued legal photo ID cards, match the face, find them on the list, verify their address either on the card or on a piece of mail from an institution such as a bank or government agency with their name on it, before anyone was even allowed to enter the area where the actual votes were cast, and voters are monitored and cannot remain in that area after their ballot is cast, they walk out of the booth and are immediately shown the exit. I've also gone door-to-door with voting registration database before an election to confirm the person(s) registered to vote live at that address, and if they do, to verify it by checking a government issued ID and taking their signature. When someone was still registered but died, I had to verify that with a death certificate, and remove them from the data base of registered voters. I've also facilitated home voting, where someone who cannot leave their house is visited by officials and cast their secret ballot in their residence, in front of legal observers, all verified with photo ID, and that is after the initial home visit to confirm they live there and show ID to the government agents who go door-to-door verifying the government voter database is correct. So no. There is no voting fraud. People who try to commit fraud get caught. The government goes above and beyond to avoid it. I know for an absolute fact how insanely difficult it would be cast more than one ballot or change the vote on a ballot to another candidate. Like I want to say it's impossible, but I am allowing for extremely anomalous instances, because nothing is really absolute. It might as well be impossible though. The very concept of widespread voter fraud is extremely laughable. People who register for mail in voting (which includes absentee voting) have had someone come to their house at some point during the last however many elections they've participated in since they registered, and have had their identity and address confirmed repeatedly, every step of the way. The government requires your legal photo ID every time you interact with a person on their behalf. Not to mention the other side, which is calling people who are registered members of a party, because the party contacts you as well. They gather less information, but they have your name, address, phone number, all that stuff too. So people even need to provide evidence they exist to their party as well. There is no way for a dead person to be registered, even in the party, which is nowhere near as stringent. The parties call their registered members on the phone every election, asking if they want lawn signs, asking if they need a ride to the polls, or if they can provide rides to others, if they want to attend party functions like dinners with candidates etc. I have literally done all of these jobs. I know without a shadow of a doubt. Anyone who thinks there could be widespread voter fraud has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Facts.

    "Stop the count!" "Count the votes!" Everything you need to know about Trump supporters ....
  • "You think we're stupid?! You think we're fools?!" The rest of the world: "Um YES "
  • @tuschman168
    When I was a kid I believed the adult world was filled with mostly reasonable people and the occasional crazy was quickly singled out and got the help they needed. ...Turns out adult world is just as chaotic as 2nd grade recess.
  • @vickgardner3515
    Notice that "BBQ" was 1st, "BEER" was 2nd, and "FREEDOM" was last.
  • @stansburygreg
    The only thing I hate about this segment is that it ended. That mashup of “count the votes” and “stop the count” was pure gold.
  • @MomoLillia
    For the last 2 videos Seth looks so much brighter and happier. He’s so ready to be done with Trumps BS. I think this is the first time in history we can say that the population has aged more than the president after their term ends.
  • @fgtytf5602
    Dude, this year is going to be crazy to read about in the History books.
  • @kwood9955
    Best moment of my night was when my nine-year-old declared herself ruler of Disney World and Mario Cart then walked around the living room chanting "Stop the vote! Stop the vote!" then "Count the votes! Count the votes!" Thanks, Seth. Your show has become a family event. 😄
  • @GultenA529
    Wow, I worked on election polls, there is no way one can vote twice, in person or by mail. Even if they cannot remember sending mail-in ballots, we look at the registration, find the name, address, social security number to make sure he or she registered, if that person says, I did not send my ballot, we give them a different kind of form that is confirmed by the same party and opposite party judges, then placed in a different box. Yes, they can try to vote twice but it will not be counted until by the both judges confirmed. I worked for 10 years. I cannot believe this attorney talks like there is a fraud. If he thinks he is important, so does every American's vote must be counted. This country has many states, not only east coast states.
  • @user0077
    “Do you think we’re stupid?”...yes yes we do.
  • You definitely know people are stupid fools when they keep asking: "Do you think we're stupid? Do you think we're fools"
  • @tomsdralis3166
    Trump hasn't been this afraid of the mail since the draft.
  • @2ezTimmy
    The whole internet answering Guliani's question "do you think we're stupid?": Yes!
  • @kriyakey
    "Do you think we are stupid? Do you think we are fools?" ... Hard yes.
