Bottom line, conservatives are trash!! Their goal is to control people(like a plantation)!! They couldn't care less if their grandchildren are saddled with their big government, war and entitlement debt!

Nobody in our local election was a far left socialist candidate. Nobody in my local election has anything to do with whether Brett Kavanaugh assaulted a woman or not.

Personally, I think It would have been nice to have a centrist like Bredesen in our Senate. Unfortunately, the Abraham Lincolns of this country are being voted out because people hate simply due to your political affiliation and do no research or care. (See post above)

My wish is political parties end. Just think, bias news would have to end, too.

I should hope the electorate votes out the Abraham Lincoln types. I for one don’t want another tyrant willing to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans holding office.

Every state should have mail-in ballot elections like Washington State imo. Gives everybody plenty of time to vote and leaves a paper trail. Throw all these electronic voting systems in the dump.

2 months before the election, send every registered voter a check for $20. They can cash it if they want, but they need to have not cashed it in order to vote. Send your unused check back with your ballot.

 

[hog88]

You are suggesting they were fabricated after the fact?

Prove it.

It should not be heard to see if the vote was real. Link it to a registered voter. If you think its made up, go talk to some and see if they voted.

Again, this should not be that complicated. There is no basis in fact, literally none, to make the accusation that there is fraud. Its just a mantra the Republicans like to invoke to animate their supporters. So either find a factual basis for the claim, or go find something else to bit4h about.

Oh bull! There is a reason they are required to release the numbers and have the votes counted by certain times. It would be fairly easy to go over the rolls, see who didn’t vote then fill out a ballot for them.

You can’t talk about the national debt.

Fine. Pick a couple of hundred, go ask if them if they voted.

FTR, you're saying "true" liberals are primarily concerned with national debt?

You’re not concerned about the debt.

Easier to toss out every ballot that wasn’t properly handled or counted on time.

Personally I think it’s high time to do away with absentee ballots for everyone except those in government service.

 

[n_huffhines]

You’re not concerned about the debt.

Not in tumsland.

Ha! There will never be a place like huffland.

You’re not concerned with the debt. You support increasing it.

Again with the Republicans figuring out ways to reduce the number of votes.

Republicans want one vote for one eligible person. It’s not hard.

Voting should take some effort and be secure.

No I am saying you pretend to be a libertarian but then say conservatives are trash, I get it you are ashamed to call yourself a liberal hell I don't blame you.

Again with the Republicans figuring out ways to reduce the number of votes.

In this case, isn't it more like trying to figure out where about 78k ballots came from 2 days after the election?

Should use gift certificates to Bass Pro and Trader Joe's.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

The point is, ballot "discovery" should end on election day. You should know how many absentee, early votes, election day votes and provisional ballots you have by midnight on election day. It's just not that hard.

If this was a deep red county in GA or FL they would be flipping their lids.

There’d be rioting.

@lawgator1 - to your point about why it is Republicans always being the ones to "not want to count votes" - it is because this stuff always seems to happen in counties/precincts where the total number of votes could actually change the election (i.e., urban, densely-populated, Democratic areas). Conveniently.

Again with the Republicans figuring out ways to reduce the number of votes.

So, the voting thing with fraud accusations and such is a Republican thing.....see Abrams.

What do you think a libertarian is?

What do you think a libertarian is?

in your case, a liberal in hiding

Not you.
