You may have a point. I now suspect things work differently from what we have always been led to believe.
In 2003 I read, right here on FR, a fantastic article about our electoral trends. It really dug into it all. It was shocking how predictable our elections are. Basically 2020 was our first election since that article that didn’t follow the pattern. And that’s really why I want to break the 2 party system. Only way to end the pattern.
The few who can not have been, since forever, been allowed to vote by mail.
But opening the floodgates and allowing everyone to vote for the bogus reason of convenience is what gets us into our current situation.
Your 'disenfranchising' comment just shows me you have swallowed the Rat argument hook line and sinker and are using their words and slogans. You are being a mouthopiece for the Rats.
People need to get off their asses and physically present to vote using paper ballots.
Those ballots need to be counted and reported within four hours.
No machines allowed.
Fix those things and the problem will be solved.
I disagree. And your mouth piece comment hi-lites exactly the problem we have in this country. If someone has a different view than yours then they are labeled as “the bad guy” or in your case as being a mouth piece. Your proposed solution is simplistic. Parts might work but to flatly state that solves the problem is short sighted in my opinion.
I’ll be sure and let the senior citizen who has no way to get to the polling place know that you don’t care if they vote because they are lazy or that mailing in their ballot, and no I’m not talking about absentee ballots, might jeopardize your solution. And to use your vernacular ..”It’s lame to pretend people can get to the polls”.
Do I have the perfect solution...No. But I am not going to discount any proposed solution as long as it benefits We the People.
