" If you want to look like a third world country allowing ballots after the election date should be an exception not a rule."

Don't be a moron. Things like IRAs can be opened with a postmark by midnight on April 15, regardless when it arrives.

Making this change would create a double standard.

I'm for the same, single standard: Anyone who votes, and gets their vote in the mail in time, should have their vote count.

" If you want to accept late ballots I can redo the 2020 election for Trump"

Go right ahead. Pretend there are no checks and safety measures. And be sure to do it at a scale that would win elections.

Hope you look good in stripes.

" It takes time to determine which registered voters have already voted. They don't want to produce duplicates."

Except even when given time, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. At scale, voters would discover votes were cast they didn't make, and even a 99.9% success rate would create a duplicate trail leading right back to the perpetrators.

And since there are NO examples, even given time to investigate, it's clear: it doesn't happen, save the rare, garden variety of voting absentee for a newly-passed family member, or in the old state and the new one.

" Apparently, it's the new normal. It's ridiculous, but here we are."

If you'll notice, none of the states which allowed early counting had a problem. It was only the ones, required by the legislatures, which didn't allow counting until all voting had stopped.

The problem is clear. The issue is folks who don't want the problem solved.

" If you can't bother giving up an hour of your time to vote in person (of which most companies give time off to do so)"

A lot of made-up bullschittt for one phrase.

First, you'll have to prove most companies give workers time off to vote. That doesn't pass the smell test.

Second, an hour to vote? What color do you suppose these voters are, white?

From what I've seen, every time there's a long, hours plus line to vote, the line is full of minorities. Meanwhile, at my white person voting place, it took me 11 minutes last time from car door to car door, including two minutes of walking each way ... so 7 minutes, net.

How long did it take you? If it's less than "hours", that's by design.

" If a Republican station takes 11 minutes vs a Democrat station taking 3-4 hours it's a literal perfect example of why Democrats shouldn't be running the administrative state."

I'll take Ignorance On Parade for $1,600, Ken.

"If a Republican station takes 11 minutes vs a Democrat station taking 3-4 hours it's a literal perfect example of why Democrats shouldn't be running the administrative state."

The long lines are at urban voting places in red states, dumfuq. The kind of state where the governor will order speed traps set up on the major routes to and from "certain" voting places on Election Day.

" ... elections are run by the County"

Elections are run by the secretary of state. Counties, for example, don't choose their own funding.

" are you saying it's because minorities are incompetent?"

No, I'm saying longer lines aren't their choice.

How long did it take you to vote last time?

" maybe only taxpayers. Net positive rate taxpayers."

Will that include federal subsidies coming back to states?

There goes Mississippi.

"What do you think of the millions of volunteers who contribute their time and effort to society with no money exchanged?"

Suckers and Losers.

"In person voting is the most secure method of voting."

It's the easiest to control access.

You know...the salient point.

"Because it's low now is not a positive. It means we have sold out."

Two quick questions:

1. Who do you blame?
2. Who's responsible for the last 4 tax codes?
