The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The fox will safeguard all the chickens!....................and count them as well.................
Rigging at least.
Remember, more government is always the answer.
The fix is in.
As Stalin said, it doesn’t matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes
This bodes ill....
KYPD
He could save time and just contact North Korea on how to conduct this type of election.
This from the people who can’t even get TSA to operate right.
The word ‘federalize’ and ‘elections’ do NOT belong together.
If odumbo gets away with that, Trump is right again, “the system is rigged”. For a nanosecond does ANYONE believe that isn’t a setup?
I have had just about all of this that I can stand.....
Congress sitting around playing with each other still when we’re being dictated to?
elections are under the legislative branch. Actually its a state issue.
separation of powers indeed. Obama the constitutional scholar should know this.
Every crisis a new opportunity.
And a generation of conditioned responders will keep voting for him.
The insanity of this election belongs to democrats.
Heh. Just wait until Obama pulls US Secret Service Protection from Trump.....citing “man power problems” and “Trump can afford his own security”, etc. Meanwhile, Hillary will get a pass because she is “a former spouse of a POS POTUS, Bill”
The house never gambles.
Next, we’ll have UN troops line us up, holding uzzis, and telling us how to vote.
Uh oh.
So the foxes will officially coordinate their operation at the chicken coop.
I don’t think that we should use voting systems that are vulnerable to manipulation by the Russians or any other adversary. Maybe electronics should be avoided as much as possible.
