The US Supreme Court had ruled in U.S v Mosley (1915) and Reynolds v Sims (1964), that our right to vote includes not only the right to cast a ballot but also the right to know that our vote was counted accurately. Oddly enough nowadays, the courts seem to not care about our rights, and the voting process is getting shadier. In the vast majority of county primaries ballots are not counted in public, and are often hidden forever from the public. Now, with easily hacked computers doing the balloting, it&#8217;s basically impossible to show accurate voter results without going door to door.  The whole point of this is that our country must love Josef Stalin: &#8220;Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever those running any kind of an election use police power to hide all the ballots from the people, and then&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[5,8],"class_list":["post-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-greatwizard-news","tag-politics","tag-slavery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions\/27"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greatwizard.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
