EQcellent! Thanks for posting that.
I really wasn’t trying to be sarcastis. And I wasn’t specifically talking about “paper mail” either, but I realize it wasn’t clear as I mixed up 2020 with what I was really focused on.
I’m an engineer. Engineers design solutions to problems based on a set of requirements. What I was trying to say is, if a set of requirements was developed (which would address each of the concerns you listed and more) and that solution was “peer reviewed” to the hilt and put out for bid to the industry that develops government IT solutions (i.e. NOT the dopes who did the Obamacare website), I think you could have a secure 21st century voting system that would be highly protected against fraud and would ensure that every vote comes from a real, qualified, registered, live voter. And only one vote per customer! I would describe it more as an “next generating voting system” where if actual mailed-in paper ballots were part of it, they would have have to be authenticated in the same way as online votes would be. The other systems I listed are quite capable of identifying each of us, because it was a requirement of their design that they do so.
I’ve done work in the past in USPS facilities, which one colleague described as “the most cheerless place” he’d ever seen. So I know a little about why just doing “mail-in voting” like the Democraps want would be a disaster. I’m not suggesting that the USPS be used, except maybe as one of multiple input mechanisms that would still be subject to authentication and validation.
We designed systems to put man on the moon, rovers on Mars, and networks of completely reliable and secure communicatons - we can do this if we want to. But probably not before November unless a lot of work has been going on we don’t know about. So the only thing for 2020 is to stop the Democraps from pushing through a system that will be ripe for fraud and abuse and I trust President Trump has a way in mind to do this.

I'm sure you've heard that some ignoramuses are wanting to "cancel" the National Anthem -- because the third verse contains the word, "slave".
That is precisely the ignorance problem that the lack of -- or warped -- teaching of history allows to happen!
The referenced "Slave"(s) were Non-Black IMPRESSED Sailors. (Look up "impressment" and "War of 1812" together...) Here's an (annotated) excerpt from
Impressment, or “press gang” as it was more commonly known, was recruitment by force. It was a practice that directly affected the U.S. and was even one of the causes of the War of 1812.The British navy consistently suffered manpower shortages due to the low pay and a lack of qualified seamen. During wartime the navy forced unwilling individuals into service. Residents of seaports lived in fear of the press gangs that patrolled waterfronts and raided taverns, pouncing on deserters and idle mariners. Prints from the time show armed gangs kidnapping men in their beds, or barging into weddings and hauling the groom out much to the distress of the bride.
But generally “pressing” took place at sea where the armed gangs would board merchant ships. These ships were ransacked of their men and often left without sufficient hands to take them safely into port.
<SNIP>
While essential for the strength of the British Navy, the brutal nature of impressment was deeply unpopular. Many viewed it as an inhumane and unconstitutional system.
American merchant vessels were a common target. Between 1793 and 1812, the British impressed more than 15,000 U.S. sailors to supplement their fleet during their Napoleonic Wars with France. By 1812 the United States Government had had enough. On 18 June, the United States declared war on Great Britain, citing, in part, impressment.
So -- the "Slaves" in the Anthem were Impressed seamen from all the world's merchant navies -- and had ZERO CONNECTION TO Black Slavery.
And, the US fought the War of 1812, in part, to end that particular form of slavery!

Discusses Anthony Johnson with a PBS slant. (Good for liberals since they are more likely to believe it.)

Thank you so much for the additional link from PBS. I saved it as a PDF file in the Slavery file.

Thank you for the excellent historical background to the discussion on slavery greeneyes brought to us, TXnMA. Pinging the list!
Also, because I forgot to do so, here is another link which I did not send out to the ping list from Pete from Shawnee Mission:

Just found this on another anon's profile. Something very strange is going on.https://t.co/WnT0vzcdsi— Not Sure (#Idiocracy) (@NCBS43) July 1, 2020
make em look like the covid distance stickers. That company must be making bank.
The phoenix has represented rebirth for centuries. Some like it because it is symbolic of strength and renewal, or maybe she just thought it looked neat, or was a gift.
There is no logical connection to the illuminati but thanks for the nice photos of Gov. Noem. Always nice to see.
