2020 Presidential Race

I'm not struggling with anything... Not all acts of discrimination are acts of racism.

When you discriminate based on race it is.

It is clear you support racism in certain situations.

You have to request a ballot vs just being mailed a ballot. What if I move to Colorado next year and TN decides to just send me a ballot when I don't live in TN anymore. Any Tom, Dick or Harry that lives at my previous address can fill the ballot in and send it back and it'll be counted. You think that's fair?

Sure, but it wouldn't be counted.

 

[VolStrom]

Why not? Do you think the local officials look up U-Haul rentals to see if someone moved or not?

Well, if for some reason you are still showing as registered with that address, there is still a signature that has to match, unless that isn't a requirement, now.

 

[ajvol01]

How is it totally different?

Everyone who gets absentee ballots has to apply themselves.

The mail-in-ballots being discussed for 2020 involve the government sending mass mailings to all voters.

It’s a recipe for fraud and it will fuel an argument that the results can’t be trusted.

The mail-in-ballots being discussed for 2020 involve the government sending mass mailings to all voters. And in most, cases being complained about, they send a absentee ballot request form.

No, they send them to all active registered voters.

True. You can discriminate on sex, age, sexual preference, and much more. When you discriminate on race it is, say it with me, racism.

Do you honestly think they match signatures? My God you are naive.

You think they match sigs? They cannot even get the count right.

Dang it. Got Volstromed

 

[Stew Cook]

Yes, they absolutely do,

 

[VolStrom]

No, they send them to all active registered voters.

Have you ever moved and notified the county election board of it? Yeah, me either.

 

[ajvol01]

No, they send them to all active registered voters.

You’re missing the point.

I am voting in person. Don’t send me a ballot.

 

[Stew Cook]

You get purged, at least in my county, if you don't stay active.

They are not likely to, unless you request one..

 

[VolStrom]

Yes, they absolutely do,

I registered to vote over 40 years ago. Do you think they have my signature on file and mostly, if I'm like most people my signature changed over the decades.

 

[Orangeburst]

You get purged, at least in my county, if you don't stay active.

And CA just was forced to purge 1.5 million from the voter rolls.

Re-read your post I was replying to

You said it yourself

 

[hUTch2002]

I just voted by absentee ballot for the first time this year and it was simple. The state website allows you to track your ballot and shows when it was sent to you and when it was received back so I think this allows for some level of security. Now if they just willy nilly send ballots out to people that aren't expecting them I don't think that will work.

That’s is exactly how Mail in voting typically works. Each state can alter that but they mail ballots out and no form of current ID is required from what I’ve heard. I’ve never done it myself though.

Not without an element of animus.

 

[hUTch2002]

They should treat them all as absentee ballots if we are going this route. That would help with questions on the legitimacy

 

[ajvol01]

Not necessarily. There needs to be an element of animus.

Discrimination itself isn’t considered animus?

 

[BowlBrother85]

Getting tired of this... but no, not necessarily and I have even given an example.

Here’s the definition of discrimination in case you need a refresher

 

[hUTch2002]

Not without an element of animus.

Where is that in the definition?

That's what is being done.
