Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is deceptively manipulating online platforms, it was revealed that the campaign is operating a Discord server that directs hordes of volunteers to use their social media accounts to deceptively push election propaganda. The goal is to artificially manufacture consensus by making pro-Kamala Harris messages on social media appear more popular than they are, and it is often done in violation of the Terms of Service of the social media platforms. In more extreme cases, they are encouraging people to skirt election laws and using these “astroturfing” campaigns to spread disinformation they think will help win the upcoming election...

#6 ABC "Mistakenly" Airs Election Result Showing Harris Winning PA - Blueapples for ZeroHedge, VBL's Ghost, and Daily Mail on X
One of the most confounding responses to the belief that the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged to keep Donald Trump from being re-elected has been the Republicans' belief that voting in 2024 will somehow get him back into office. In the build-up to this year's presidential election, there have been ample signs that the integrity of America's elections is still compromised. The cognitive dissonance of the right wing of the US electorate has led them to overlook clear indications that 2024 could be nothing more than a replay of 2020. In the build-up to the election, the threat of malfeasance demonstrated by massive purges of ineligible voters, protocols put into place to count votes well past election night, issues with Dominion voting machines, leaked voting system passwords, and expanded voter rolls has somehow been minimized by a voting block that should know the lengths the political establishment will go to undermine election integrity all too well...
