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?

“3 percent of voters were effectively disenfranchised.” That could be enough to tip a close election.

In 2000, they spent weeks counting hanging chads because the election was so darn close.

3 percent margin of error is not acceptable. The fact that this entire idea is not rejected out of hand is pretty scary. The Bad Guys have plans and everybody knows it.

The lawsuits and the chaos is going to be so big this November and onward, it will make the 2000 fiasco look like a picnic in the park

President Pelosi

This is why the Dems are unconcerned about running someone with rapidly advancing dementia...and could care less about who their VP candidate is.

To delay the election results and have the house make Nancy Pelosi President after January 20th.

Any state policy that favors Democratic candidates discriminates against Republic candidates.

Democrats can easily ask urban apartment building residents to mail in their ballots every day.

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.

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

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 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.

president trump should say that anyone that wishes to vote absentee, can and should. there is a system already in place to accommodate them.

no big deal.
