I had to wait until I was 21 to vote for the first time. That was in 1968. As I recall, back then, you had to be able to show proof that you couldn't vote in person, in order to cast an absentee ballot. My father was an immigrant to this country as a little boy from Holland in 1912, and was proud to be a citizen of this country. He impressed upon us the importance of going to the polls in person to vote every year. He was an FDR Democrat. If he was alive today, he wouldn't recognize the party, and sure as hell wouldn't be a Democrat.
The Democrats did well in congressional districts in North Carolina only because the Democrat leaning state supreme court threw out the electoral map drawn up by the state legislature and drew one favorable to Democrats in its place.
The good news is this:
- North Carolina elected Ted Budd to the US Senate
- North Carolina elected 2 Republicans to the state supreme court which flipped it from 4-3 Democrat to 5-2 Republican
- North Carolina elected supermajorities to both houses of the state legislature (meaning they can override any veto issued by the Democrat Governor).
Whether because the legislature draws a Republican friendly electoral map in the state for the next election or because the state supreme court overturns the previous insane Democrat court’s decision. Also, a couple of election integrity laws including voter ID which the state supreme court had struck down will now go into force as the new state supreme court reverses those decisions.
We need to get back to that. You should have to show you would be out of town or that you are too infirm to show up at the poll.
We also need several more election integrity laws like those in Florida:
- voter ID
- each precinct must report at the end of each day how many ballots it has received (ie no “finding” ballots after the polls close)
- strict deadline that all ballots MUST be received by election day. If you can’t get your ballot in by then TOUGH CRAP - Your ballot doesn’t count.
Correct: “You had to have proof, presented in person, that you were going to be out of town and couldn’t vote during normal voting hours. They knew in those days that integrity of elections was paramount.”
Same; and in the state where I resided back then:
Done at the county’s Board of Elections Office, and while still there, when the application was approved, you voted at one of the booths (usually 16 - 20 were set up).
Good analysis.
I’m not saying it applies to all women from PA but I do know that every woman from PA I ever worked with was a backstabber. It was uncanny.
It’s impossible to say definitively without seeing exit polls based on race or ethnicity as well as turn out
I blue baby boomers are dying off and they are pretty sizable majority conservative voters contrary to the 1970s and there are a lot of liberals in this country a lot more than we’d like to admit that is the real problem folks and the more boomers to die off and the more open borders we have like I have warned all this for him for 20 years now the worse it’s going to get
There are things most normal people have no idea about in this nation.
Chief among them is, it has been penetrated and taken over by an East German Stasi-like intelligence operation, complete with a ridiculously massive civilian informant/spy network, which remains entirely in the shadows, and uses the illusion of our democratically elected Republic to keep us compliant and pacified. It took me a decade of seeing it first hand to be able to accept it. It is way beyond belief.
On the 8th, we headed to the polls, so unified, this massive intel operation, using all of its tricks and intelligence techniques, could not get the complete control it wanted.
That is impressive.
If it gets revealed one day, I do not think it will last ten minutes. So there is that.
John Sexton, when you find yourself only musing to yourself like this you need to just shut up and go away.
If we get the house then we get...
Gridlock..
Not a bad way to go if you ask me
Quality over quantity is not always a bad thing.
