  • That should all definitely be investigated but I don’t think “recount” is the right word for a lot of it. Anything that was counted should be, but a lot just seems like outright interference where there’s nothing to recount because people weren’t able to vote. Was it enough to matter? No one can really know for sure.

    Bomb threats are bad enough on there own. Even worse when it interferes with an election. The culprits need to be severely punished, though that may not stop people from doing it again if they feel it worked.

    I don’t know what the solution is if there are quite a few people willing to do anything they can to interfere in an election. You can’t watch every postman, polling worker, polling station, etc. There’s just too many and not enough people. But then you get into a “who watches the watchmen” situation even if there were.

    Feels like the problem is having a two party system and also only needing a majority to get things passed. If we had proper representation by multiple parties then cheating from any one party would hopefully be far less effective.
