Good to do list. I don’t see those four requirements as too much of an infringement on states rights.

I pity the poor county clerks and others in MI and WI being forced to pointlessly recount ballots, ridiculous.

Apparently people in India don’t fear being called racists.

If an election is one for a federal office I don’t think the state can stop the feds regulating it. If a state wants to run a crappy election for state offices that is their choice.

There is only 1 federal election and that is when the electors vote for POTUS.

The DEMs will never accept Trump’s presidency. They will be alternating between depression, denial, and anger during his entire time as POTUS.

If MI and WI were to lose their EVs due to Stein and the Green Party, I can only imagine how low their futures would be in those states.

No, Federalism IS shared power between the states and the federal governments.

Elections for federal office should all meet the same standard requirements no matter what state the election is held in. Statewide offices can use a different or the same standards.

Voter ID

No same day registration

Proof of Citizenship

Early Voting limited to shorter time frames.

How did the 17th amendment allowing direct election of senators in 1912 get passed if federalism was key to distributed powers with the 10th amendment staring at them all.

25,000 absentee ballots were requested but never sent out in Broward County alone.

So, who got fired or went to jail?

Maybe they came in past the deadline.

This is Stein supporter - fake news site. The voter initiated recount deadline ended Nov. 21. She was able to get some precincts in three counties. A judge throw out the one in Montgomery and Philadelphia is complete with the absentee ballots counted. I think there is only one county with a few voter recounts. I don’t think they can get to 20,000 votes to reach the 0.5% threshold.

From the State: “Close Vote Margin:
Less than or equal to .5%

Close vote margin recounts are initiated by the Secretary of the Commonwealth and are only available for candidates or ballot questions “appearing on the ballot in every election district in [the] Commonwealth.” They are required when the margin is 0.5% or less of all votes cast for the office or ballot question. See 25 P.S. 3154(g)(1). Close vote margin recounts may also take place under a court’s jurisdiction. See 25 P.S. 3261 and 3262. Counties receive a reimbursement from the state for the recount. See 25 P.S. 3154(g)(8).

Because it followed the rules on passing a constitutional amendment.

And county election officials are reporting that 25,000 absentee ballots were requested but never sent out in Broward County alone.”””

Maybe those missing 25,000 absentee ballots are the ones the poll worker saw being filled out by mystery people in the secret room she accidently opened the door to. She signed an affidavit about what she saw & it was reported here on FR, but I heard nothing more about it.

Anyone have any other news about that incident? It was in Florida- but I don’t remember if it was Dade or Broward County,

Both counties have a history of voting problems.

IMO, this constant barrage of challenges to the voting results will cause Trump to clean up the voter rolls nationwide.
