Yeah… ya’ think you genius retards?

Yes, no more mass mailing of ballots to all and sundry. Of a voter is genuinely absent, he/she must order a ballot ahead of time. But also provide adequate facilities for in-person voting on game day. Four hour lines at polling places are inexcusable. They discourage the most responsible citizens from voting, in fact.

Personally I vote early, because with my mobility handicap even five minutes standing in line is impossible. Without that option, a genuine medical disability should qualify for an absentee ballot.

Just don’t federalize elections, in the name of efficiency. That’s the unconstitutional Rat route. Also, let’s avoid the siren song of paperless technology. That’s how we got Dominion.

The correct way to run elections is what Florida just did. That should be the model for every state.

[Ronin]

Democrats don’t care if you like them or trust them. All they want is power, and they will do anything to get it. Anything at all.

Wanna stop this voter fraud crap?

Restore walk in voting with Voter ID with a signature.

Mail in ballots should be notarized with a notary stamp and signature.

[joshua c]

the voters are going to have to take a lot more pain

before they say

this aint right

Restore walk in voting with Voter ID with a signature.

They tried to pull this so-called "Voter's Choice Act" in my county, "More Days to Vote, More Ways to Vote."

Nonsense.

I voted in person on Election Day. They haven't taken away in-person "accessible voting locations" yet, though they are few and far between. The location was pretty cramped, no "social distancing," so they might as well bring back the old in-person voting at every third firehouse or church hall or school auditorium.

One of the first things the poll workers asked was "are you here to vote in person?" (I guess as opposed to dropping off a completed ballot). She seemed a bit incredulous that I would be voting in person, I do hope she did not mean it as a challenge to me. >:(

When I stepped inside, the other poll worker (behind a plastic shield -- yes they made us all wear masks inside!) immediately said "No you don't have to show ID" before I had a chance to get mine out.

Still I am glad to have voted in person, there is something very refreshing to see neighbors on their way to or from the polling location, we smile and greet each other as like-minded people do.

after “the chsd thing”, I have held all elections suspect, whether Californian poke the paper, New York machines, Oregon voting paper ballots put into collection boxes, or Louisiana’s machines, and now, my mail in ballots via USPS.

the continuing saga of “ we found bad machines” by company x , post election, and for the next election again, company x is supplying machines!!!

weii, duh!!

[Iron Munro]

Trust is not being killed.

Trust was killed a long, long time ago.

[one guy in new jersey]

Safe and effective.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

It will never change. The Democrats want it this way. And they rule.

[exnavy]

But, this is how they felony vote fraud to win elections.

[DesertRhino]

You can count Denver right away… but the much smaller population of her district is extremely complicated!

[ScottinVA]

Amazing that big red states like Florida and Texas can complete their election counts by the end of election night.

But then again.. they’re red states for a reason.

[38special]

Democrats cheat and Americans suffer for it

[philman_36]

I'll just drop this here...

Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67 (1997)
Held: Louisiana's statute conflicts with federal law to the extent that it is applied to select a congressional candidate in October. Pp. 71-74.

(a) The issue here is a narrow one turning entirely on the meaning of the state and federal statutes. There is no colorable argument that § 7 goes beyond the ample limits of the Elections Clause's grant of authority to Congress. In speaking of "the election" of a Senator or Representative, the federal statutes plainly refer to the combined actions of voters and officials meant to make the final selection of an officeholder; and by establishing "the day" on which these actions must take place, the statutes simply regulate the time of the election, a matter on which the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the final say. Pp. 71-72

2 U.S.C. United States Code, 1996 Edition Title 2 - THE CONGRESS CHAPTER 1 - ELECTION OF SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES
§ 7. Time of election
The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States, of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress commencing on the 3d day of January next thereafter.

[NorthMountain]

They will find every vote they need

"Find"??? No. FABRICATE.

[philman_36]

after “the chsd thing”...

It's all been a coordinated push to get to the corrupt machines of today.

Hegelian dialectic - thesis, antithesis, synthesis

Hegelian Dialectics: The Devil’s Winning Tool

The Hegelian system is described as follows:
“It was Hegel’s view that all things unfold in a continuing evolutionary process whereby each idea or quality (the THESIS) inevitably brings forth its opposite (the ANTITHESIS). From that interaction, a third state emerges in which the opposites are integrated, overcome, and fulfilled in a richer and higher SYNTHESIS. This synthesis then becomes the basis for another dialectical process of opposition and synthesis. Hegel believed that the creative stress of opposing positions was essential for developing higher states of consciousness. In the moment of synthesis, the opposites are both preserved and transcended, negated and fulfilled” (Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson, Spiritual Politics, 1994, p. 88).

Hegel believed that this process has a life of its own, in an evolutionary sense, but since the days of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels it has been used as a guided process toward a desired end.

Trust us, the new voting machines and proprietary software are just perfect for today's world. /liberal narrative

[philman_36]

And it only took twenty odd years to accomplish.

I do not trust any democrat run city as far as elections. They all cheat and think they are doing the right thing by cheating.

Remember, these are the people who support killing babies, stealing money thru taxes, demand reparations, demand affirmative action or special treatment etc. etc.

Democrats, and I mean every single voter, are the enemy of freedom. But many republicans are not much better.
