If done in mass protests where thousands of people burn their ballots while it being recorded, how do the Democrats or anyone else manage a claim they won an election where it is clear that millions nationwide burned their ballot rather than submit it?
Big IF.
Did you learn nothing from the 2020 election ?
The same goes for simply half burning it and sending it in. What do the election officials do with tens of thousands of half burned, unfilled out ballots? How do they hide that from the public? You know that even if it's just Red states with poll watchers this would be a huge problem to try and cover up for those intent on fixing elections.
What do the election officials do with tens of thousands of half burned, unfilled out ballots? They print replacements, fill them in with votes for DEMOCRATS, and count them. And nobody will know. You haven't read H.R. 1, have you? They thought of that.
The media will do what they always do.
