Three election cycles later, Republicans are still on the backfoot when it comes to the nation’s recent embrace of absentee, mail, and early voting. But what critics call “election month” looks likely to endure indefinitely after taking hold in pandemic-prompted voting procedures widely adopted in 2020, ostensibly as a health precaution to promote social distancing.

Commentary: GOP Split on How to Handle Absentee Votes
“I can’t begin to understand what ballot harvesting is,” Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the former Republican House Speaker, said in an interview in the wake of a 2018 political upset in Orange County, California. Democrats had swept the congressional seats in one of California’s few Republican strongholds, largely due to a well-executed strategy of harvesting, or the collection and submission of ballots by someone other than the voter.

DeleteUnless you support in-person, ONE DAY ONLY voting, showing valid ID, with restricted, requested only absentee ballots with 100% signature confirmation upon return receipt, and hand counting with multiple observers from the OTHER political parties, you don't actually want honest or fair elections.
ReplyDeleteIn certain melanistic regions where integrity is merely a Japanese car, the voater gets indelible ink on a finger to indicate (see what I did?) vote expressed. Anyway....it's who counts the votes, and they've already done that. Next method, please.
DeleteI would be willing to expand the in person voting to one week only because people like truck drivers can't guarantee they can be home on election day. As for absentee ballots, only for members of the military stationed overseas.
DeleteWhile I was in I voted absentee three times. After I got home I learned all three ballots had been rejected because they were not witnessed by a person from the same precinct in Minnesota.
We can serialize dollar bills...........
DeleteI may be slightly off on the numbers,but PA mailed out 1.8 million ballots and got back 2.2 million.
ReplyDeleteHow in the fuck anyone can certify that is beyond me, but here we are.
It was actually 2.5 million. Stunning isn't it? Free and fair my ass.
DeleteAmericans are too corrupt and lazy to ever care enough about election integrity or go back to in-person voting. Mailing it in is convenient, and convenience is one of our highest ideals. The right needs to learn how to mock women for their addiction to virtue if they want to change the vote.
ReplyDeletePeople vote against, not for. The GOP efforts to "win" voters is a fool's errand. Making blacks and others hate the DNC and stop voting for their candidates would be simpler approach.
You are correct....Too fucking lazy, complacent and in fact most people don't give a shit who's in charge as long as they're fed their Bread & Circus instant gratification stimulants.
DeleteThey don't care...yet. But by the time they do, it'll be much too late.
DeleteHe can't begin to understand it? Sounds incompetent.

ReplyDeleteHe is a GD Liar! He knows Exactly what it is.
As do all of them.
NONE are even attempting to Secure Voting.
None even want to seriously talk about the fraud let alone fix it.
Voting…knock yerselves out, i got real shit to do.
But the missed measurement/placement of a football almost results in a court case.
DeletePaul Ryan should have been a blonde. He is a democrat with an (R) after his name. The republican leaders in WI are trying to get ballot dropoffs installed. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteFor the 2018 election I was a poll worker in Orange County, CA. Every volunteer was told to report ASAP directly to their supervisor anything suspicious. I saw numerous instances of sketchy behavior. When I reported these, in detail, to my direct supervisor and to the precinct chief, both of them were dismissive. The chief told me to put it all in an e-mail and to be sure to include my personal information including sex and birthdate. Noticeably, not to include my poll worker ID number. The e-mail addy was the general information desk at the office of the Registrar.
ReplyDeleteThings like a rabid lefty coworker guiding a voter in which candidates to gote for; trying to turn away on duty cops because they were armed; handing multiple paper ballots to a single voter; reviewing paper ballots for political affiliation, then placing R ballots in with provisional ballots. And more.
I retired from a company that does data processing for state and international lotteries. If we handled ballots with the same security we use on lottery tickets, I'd have a lot more confidence in the system. Isn't it funny the states are all in on security for gambling but not so much for voting.

ReplyDeleteJesus H. F-n' Christ, why not just say what it is: cheating!
