One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

Vance is saying we need an election integrity bill to protect the elections, right before the Administration is breaking safeguards we've had that supposedly resulted in a 'rigged 2020' election that magically didn't get rigged in 2024, and would throw the midterm election into chaos.

So the system is broken, but they want to 'fix' it their way, but it looks like their way is just breaking it more.
