”Milwaukee County reports 100% of absentee ballots. Voter turnout was huge - 83%”

Does anyone really believe that 83% of all registered voters in a large city voted? Maybe we need a process to poll voters afterward, similar to polling a jury to confirm their decision. I just highly, highly doubt that number is even possible, and without any way to confirm whether each alleged voter actually voted, we have a system that is useless and completely open to fraud.

Trump was right all along: Mail-in ballots should never be permitted. I live in Colorado, and while we were already slowly sliding into liberalism, once we implemented all mail-in voting a few years ago it was like someone turned off a light switch. We became a one-party democrat state overnight. Ever since that occurred, it has become impossible for Republicans to win anything.

The best news of the night is that Oregon voted to legalize all drugs for recreational purposes — including cocaine, heroin and crystal meth.

If that’s what you get from a mail-in voting process then I say let’s encourage it to become more widespread. A permanent state of stoned rioters isn’t going to last very long before it collapses completely.

Registered and eligible voters are different things. In the average election, under 60% of eligible voters show up. Eligible means they could have registered, not that they actually did. Whereas something like 80% of registered voters do show up. People who register tend to vote.

[Overall, 245.5 million Americans were ages 18 and older in November 2016, about 157.6 million of whom reported being registered to vote, according to Census Bureau estimates. Just over 137.5 million people told the census they voted that year, somewhat higher than the actual number of votes tallied – nearly 136.8 million, according to figures compiled by the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives (which include more than 170,000 blank, spoiled or otherwise null ballots). That sort of overstatement has long been noted by researchers; the comparisons and charts in this analysis use the House Clerk’s figure, along with data from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance and individual nations’ statistical and elections authorities.]
