WASHINGTON—Calling the Latin American nation a perfect model of election integrity, officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security praised Bolivian leaders Monday for eliminating voter fraud through their refusal to hold general elections. “By repeatedly postponing the date of its presidential election, Bolivia has ensured there are zero instances of irregular voting at any polling site anywhere in the country,” said Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, who commended Bolivia’s unelected interim president, Jeanine Añez, for helping the country “really turn a corner” after a 2019 election that was allegedly rigged in favor of then-president Evo Morales. “It’s encouraging to see Bolivians stand up and root out corruption in their electoral process by doing away with voting altogether. They have created an enviable system that cannot be compromised by hackers, counterfeit mail-in ballots, or in-person tampering. Thus, they never have to worry about the results of an election being called into question. No doubt there is much we can learn from Bolivia’s example as we work to uphold the security of our own 2020 presidential race.” At press time, Wolf added that there was also a thing or two the Department of Homeland Security could learn from Bolivia’s treatment of protesters.

I’ve been reading the onion ever since I was 16 (16 years ago)-I didnt live in a place it’s distributed so I actually ordered the book you guys had, the compilation). Crazy how different shit is now. Actual straight faced fake news really didn’t exist like it does now

Classic US bringing 'democracy' to other countries when they barely have any themselves

to be fair that isn't entirely incorrect

As a person with family in Bolivia this is hilarious

automatonomega Well played . This is a good one.

Whoops they accidentally snuck a real headline in here

Isn't that what almost happened in the US...

Trump administration lauds Bolivian efforts to combat voter fraud by kidnapping voters using secret police.

It's even funnier when you know that there was no election fraud in the first place and Evo Morales was removed from power because America wants business friendly fascists in power worldwide.

The Onion has been amazing lately 🔥🔥🔥

You guys doing any jokes about Biden avoiding a debate or is this election just too important even for serious satirists such as yourselves?

Steven Miller: now let’s do it here

You guys rock yo

Okay Onion, this is good. 👌

Trump Casually Muses About Ending American DemocracyDown in the polls, Trump continues his unprecedented assault on the electoral process—baselessly alleging fraud and suggesting in a tweet that the 2020 election be delayed. Mail voting is too long to count. Mail voting New York Democratic primary June 23 took 3 weeks to count few thousand votes. Can’t process millions of votes. learn voting procedures Mealy-mouthed journalists who delayed in naming the problem are partly why Americans are now so far behind the curve ball that they don't realize that Trump is actually WORSE than a fascist: He's a DEMAGOGUE using fascist techniques to conquer America! He has no right to do this. He will therefore attempt the crime anyway. StillNotNormal
