We don’t have a voter fraud problem. What we have is a problem with our own government defrauding the non rich of free and fair elections:
“The “big lie” that elections are being stolen by “leftists” is nothing but an excuse for Republicans to steal elections they can’t win fairly at the ballot box. MAGAs like Ron DeSantis are simply laying the groundwork for 2024 in case the Republicans lose.”

Always be suspicious of those who engage in “charity”:
“The way 'good' people explain away bad behaviour is called 'moral licensing' — here's what it means”
“PROGRESSIVE BASICS: "MORAL LICENSING"
EXCERPTS: "Public figures carefully build up positive personas
Humans have a way of explaining away their more questionable decisions by something called "moral licensing."
Psychologically, we believe we can balance out our less favourable actions because we have been good in the past.
This phenomenon has been seen when highly respected or powerful people act in ways that contradict their public personas.
This psychological bargaining is called "moral licensing" and it explains how when people initially behave in a moral way, they are more likely to display behaviors that are immoral, unethical, or problematic in other ways later.
Moral licensing behaviour can also have more severe impacts on others, like being discriminatory or abusive.
For example, as an article in Refinery29 points out, several men who claim to be liberal, or to be feminists, have recently been accused of sexually harassing or abusing women.
Harvey Weinstein donated millions of dollars to the Democratic party, and went to a Women's March in January.
Louis C.K. supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, and was often praised for his feminist style jokes about men being the ultimate danger to women. In 2012, he also released Tig Notaro's comedy album, which sold 75,000 copies. In the New York Times exposé on C.K.'s actions, Notaro said she now thinks this was merely a way of covering his tracks.
In 2010, psychologists from Stanford University performed a study that was published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. The results showed that people who expressed support for president Obama were granted "moral credentials" from their actions, and were thus more likely to be racist or prejudiced afterwards.
Ultimately, anyone can fall victim to giving themselves excuses. The next time someone you admire or see as morally good behaves in a way that contradicts that, don't be surprised.
Moral licensing helps remind us that someone's actions can't be excused by their past, no matter how much respect they have, or how untouchable they seem.”

In comparison to countries around the world Quality of Life in America stinks:
“The ‘World Happiness Report’ “
“The ‘World Happiness Report’ is a publication of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. It contains articles and rankings of national happiness, based on respondent ratings of their own lives, which the report also correlates with various quality of life factors. As of March 2021, Finland had been ranked the happiest country in the world four times in a row. [Source: “World Happiness Report” Wikipedia]
How the United States compares with Finland:
Dimension, United States Rank, Finland Rank
Overall Happiness 18, 1
GDP per capita 9, 22
Generosity 18, 86
Social support 31, 3
Freedom to make life choices 56, 6
Perceptions of corruption 43, 4
GDP per capita: A country’s total economic value isn’t the most important factor that determines happiness. It is how wealth is distributed within a population that matters. Data provided by the World Bank reports the U.S. as having the 4th highest wealth inequality among all nations while Finland ranks a distant 78th.
Generosity: The huge disparity in rankings tells the story. The hyper-competitive culture and lack of equitable opportunities in the United States creates hardship. When a capital class shifts its costs onto communities, either communities respond or people suffer. Somebody will bear the burden of misfortune. And in the U.S., it’s the middle class taxpayer that carries the major load.
Social Support: Clearly, Finland takes care of its people while the U.S. lags for behind. Government should prevent hardship, not spend inordinate funds repairing the damage caused by negligently opportunistic corporations. If the United States’ government properly fulfilled its duties, nobody would be able to sufficiently live while focusing on personal development.
Freed and Corruption: The significant disparities on these measures also underscore how social programs that provide greater personal freedoms and the faith in government to carry out these programs promote the general happiness of a nation.”
