ELECTIONS

I guess I just don't understand all the allegations that we don't have fair elections in this country. I always watch the news and am constantly searching for evidence about voting irregularities and violations of the laws. There are few, if any, cases that are taken to court and successfully prosecuted that show widespread problems with our system. Our election system works. Trump won in 2024 but has yet to concede to Biden for the Election of 2020. But that is what we are dealing with in 2025. Many people who do not closely watch and follow reputible news outlets have doubts about our elections. Many of those people lose faith in the process and simply don't vote. Others follow the many news sources that simply don't present accurate facts and information and even serves as propaganda outlets. I think Benjamin Franklin once said that "What is necessary for our democracy to survive is to have an educated and well informed electorate." Accurate facts and information is essential fo that to happen. That will be our greatest challenge in the years to come. Our elections are not the problem. They are fair and well run. The people voting, however, need accurate fact and information to make their decisions.
