Hello to all our new viewers who've encountered our 2019 segment on voting machines through conservative media using it to push Trump's voter-fraud claims! First: sorry we swear so much! But second: the way people are using that segment is horseshit!

There you go lying again.
1. The word God was not removed from the pledge during the convention. Stop trying to rally your "Christian" evangelical base.
