Will you accept the results of the 2022 election if your candidates loses?

/sarcasm on
NO! One should demand a recount. Then a hand count of the recount, then have experts verify the tabulators, then one should demand a forensic audit using the Cyber Ninjas method as the gold standard. Then demand a special master to go over the audit reports. Even then don't accept the results.
/sarcasm off

Of course I will accept the results of a fair and accurate election.

The CYber Ninja standard, what the hell is that, really? Can anyone tell us anything they did to create a "standard"?

Can't remember which politician said it. They thought Logan's audit was the "gold standard"

In fact, it was a farce and fleecing of taxpayers.

We did that this time and still the right wingers will not believe.

True, just as there are some who disagree with the Bush 2000 and 2004 wins, and of course Trump’s win in 2016. Not everyone is going to be happy. That’s just human nature.

I am to the point where I do not even worry about the losers in the 2022 election saying that they do not accept the results of the election if they lose since ,most on the GOP side have already said its win or fraud. They have learned that much from Trump. What to me is more important is that the people except that their candidate lost in a fair election if the loser can not produce real proof of wrong doing? So will yo accept the results, win or lose?

Most likely, I will accept the results of the 2022 election. I have an eerie feeling that the person I recently voted for AZ Governor will not win, and I will end up with Kari Lake as my next Governor.

I don't accept the results of the 1968 election. Nixon won by committing treason and sabotaging LBJ's peace negotiations in Vietnam.

I don't accept the results of many Republican wins, which were caused by everything from Gerrymandering to voter suppression. I'm also against the immoral role that 'big money' plays, though that doesn't change the fact of the votes.

I don't accept the results of the 2000 election, which Gore not only won in an accurate count, but in which Republicans removed up to 100,000 mostly Republican voters in Florida compare to the official 534 vote margin, not to mention thousands lost from a ballot error in a county. While the 2004 election wasn't wrongly decided, there were problems such as Ohio, and it's invalidated by the 2000 election.

I don't accept the results of the 2016 election, in which there's a good case that Russian interference was enough to change the result; and take issue with other things in the election and the primary, including various inappropriate measures to help Hillary in the primary and huge media coverage bias.

I take a lot of issues with the recall of CA Governor Gray Davis at the behest of Enron to get them a sweetheart deal for defrauding billions from CA by replacing him with Arnold Schwarzeneggar, but don't dispute the election result.

I'm not pleased how the 1876 election went, but. I think that's the list of invalid election results, barring ongoing issues that warp the results.

The very poor ballot design that Palm County, FL used back during the 2000 election also very likely caused Gore the Presidency. Link

I voted for the recall and Arnold back in 2003. I mostly regret doing that.

Human nature tells us there will always be a small group of reality denying sore losers.

That's not what we see today. Today we have 75% of one major party thinking the 2020 election was stolen, without evidence, based on the lies of one man.

No, what we see today is unprecedented.

Yes, I did mention that, though not the specifics.

Why did you vote for the recall? I'm glad you see it differently.

The size of group claiming an election is fraudulent really doesn’t matter. Just so long as there’s a fair process in place for challenges to be heard.

The number of reality denying people in this country certainly matters to me.

Again, this is unprecedented. A large number of people who identify as Republicans have sacrificed their common sense, truthfulness and integrity over the lies of one man.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

Will you accept the results of the 2022 election if your candidates loses?​

I don't have any candidates in the 2022 election, so the question is irrelevant.

However, I will never accept election fraud. That is something that ALL OF US should be concerned with and on the look out for.

I am happy that some states are taking steps to prevent election fraud. I wish ALL states would do the same.

Lol, we all already know your answer.

 

[Brack]

I was a registered Republican, and I didn't really like Governor Gray Davis back then. I also voted for Governor Pete Wilson back in the 90s. The last Republican I voted for Governor in California was Meg Whitman, but she lost to Governor Jerry Brown. I recently voted for Katie Hobbs in AZ here, and she is the first Democrat that I ever voted for Governor.

Devoting one’s vote to any party, as opposed to voting for the person deemed best qualified, is plain stupid, IMO.

Fair enough; I do note that 'didn't like' is an emotion rather than more of a reason, but it answers the question. I think it's a bit analogous to Jimmy Carter - a good official, but some voters had a less than good feeling.

 

[Buckeyes85]

What do you mean “new normal”? That’s been the way of elections since the first one.

That is blatantly false. That there have been challenges to elections in the past and will be in the future is a given.
But your comment was the exhaustion of all possible challenges, and last time around, that meant 60 frivolous, meritless suits that were all summarily dismissed. And your people STILL didn't accept the results.

Why don't you and your party commit to accepting the results of elections unless they have a plausible, legally supportable basis to challenge it?

 

[Rawley]

Biden, Clinton, Abrams, Lewis, de Blasio ...

Great question Democrats....

Did they not concede, attack the Capitol and were still bitching and lying about it two years later. Noooooooooo!

Glad to hear you condemn Trump for his Georgia phone call the Secretary of State.

Libtards won't watch this.......it exposes their own hypocrisy.

 

[Mycroft]

Glad to hear you condemn Trump for his Georgia phone call the Secretary of State.

When did you hear that?

 

[element94]

When did you hear that?

You said you will not accept election fraud. Trump tried to persuade the Georgia Secretary of State to find him 11,780 votes, that did not exist, so that he could steal that state's Electoral College votes in a recorded phone call. Was Trump's call attempted election fraud? If not, please supply proof to the contrary, because the phone call itself has been shown to be exactly that: Attempted Election Fraud (still punishable under the law). Law and order!

 

[Blue Dog]

I have always accepted if my candidate lost.

I always have and will. But as a swing voter, a non-affiliated, non-partisan voter, I don’t have a horse in the race, I don’t own the horses as partisan party members do. I didn’t select them; I just decide who I’ll vote for out of the choices selected for me and other swing voters. A lot of the times I dislike both major party candidates. Which in most cases I vote for the candidate I want to lose the least. Although I have been known to vote third party against both major party candidates when I want both to lose so bad, I must officially register my opposition to them.

The problem is...Georgia committed election fraud and Raffensperger covered it up.

Like I said, I don't accept election fraud.

So republicans are criminal coming and going. And you support them.

You have to remember that Trump told his cult followers not to believe their eyes r ears, but what he tells them and they do, so do not expect them to accept as real facts if they do not agree with what Trump says.
