Chads can be made to “hang” by punching through multiple ballots at one time.

Until Trump (ie WOTUS) I can’t remember when we chalked one up for our side. Reversing policy is simply I heard of in the Grand Ol Party. I hear, “ You should have seen it BEfore our amendments.”

En masse mail in voting is designed, DESIGNED to provide an ongoing excuse not to call a close election in swing states. There will be months of litigation to hold open the window for receiving ballots in the mail beyond election day.

Most of the mail-in ballots have prepaid postage, so they do not receive cancellation stamps from the post office and there is no telling when they were actually mailed. If a certain state is within 1/2%, a second push After election day to urge the right voters to mail in their ballots, or to gather them up and hand deliver, and to assist in filling them out.

Only to have a sizeable portion of it kicked back into the campaign, and other, coffers.

They WANT this election to be forced into the court system where they think they will win.

Hopefully Trump can fill RBG's seat soon.

I see two problems with mail in voting:

First is the potential for cheating. There are ways to wrap controls around a mail in voting process to minimize the opportunity, and to give assurance to mail in voters that their vote was counted correctly.

IF IF IF we have the will to impose those controls. Right now we seem to be hung up on fighting mail in voting and I see little attention being paid to controls if it happens.

Second is whether it changes the votes, by making voting more accessible. Does it mean more uninformed lazy voters vote? (My fear). Does it mean more home bound are voting? It has the potential to signicantly increase the percent of the people voting. And that could be good or bad.

I tend to fear it’s bad. My thought is that intelligent people who inform themslves on the issues will vote. And unintelligent MSM watchers will vote the way MSM is telling them to.

It definitely throws a wild card into the voting. But so does COVID. COVID can suppress voting. I don’t want to go stand in a long line of people even if we all have masks on. I would if it’s the only choice to be able to vote.

I early voted in the primary last week. Was able to vote in a room with 4 people all of whom had masks on. The voting machine printed my completed ballot on a 8x11 sheet of paper that was then fed into a reader and stored in a locked box below. I’ll probably do the same, vote early, in the general election.

I can’t stand the Democrats but have to admit they do fight like hell for their voters.

When was the last time Republican Retreaters pushed for anything?

I just thought of something. If Republicans vote in person and the dems vote by mail and a significant portion of the mail does not make it, on time or at all, then the dems are disenfranchising their own voters.

It’s us and our great President against the RATs, MSM and the cowardly GOP.

I completely agree with all your comments. You summed it up quite well.

You should pay closer attention to their funding bills and notice where all the money goes. Trust me, they reward and nurture their supporters.

And look at how they fought tooth and nail against the Kavanaugh nomination. They don’t hold back.

Yes, they are a corrupt lot that craves power but they wouldn’t be holding the House if they were not doing things for their voters. By contrast, the GOP does almost nothing for its voters.
