Dan,

Obviously you're daring me.

Don't bring my wife into the conversation unless I have.

You've earned a time out too.

Nothing from me.

Laura,

"bloviation"

Sounds like having a party in Whoville.

In the words of Beevis and --------,

Heh heh heh heh... heh heh heh..
Laura said blo.

Dan,

Well?

Care to respond? I took your request serious and provided a serious answer.

What assumption did I make you don't agree?

Clown,

You've earned a time out.

Nothing you post to me will be worth my time.

I might want to not post comments about other posters families, if I were you.

It makes you look mentally unstable and in need of being watched closer.

Dan,

Larger urban voting systems are more likely to bottleneck and require additional handling due to sheer volume.

That introduces more layers of processing and more points where errors can occur.

These are challenges that simply don't exist at the same level in smaller precincts.

Dan,

Ballot harvesting tends to show up more in places with high population density, large scale mail-in systems, and third-party ballot collection is allowed. It also becomes more feasible in areas with more transient populations.

Those conditions are more common in urban areas, which often vote Democrat.

I'm not arguing for weaker safeguards anywhere. The standards should be the same.

What changes is the scale, implementation, and manpower required. Rural precincts deal with lower volume and simpler logistics.

Large urban systems are far more complex and harder to monitor consistently.

Alex,

The logic from the left is really wacked.

It's like you just can't get it what my reasoning is about mail-in ballots (other than absentee or exceptions).

It is incomprehensible.

Alex,

"Bill will never address the headline. His hero daddy voted by mail."

I don't give a crap how Trump voted.

Apparently you think I secretly care...well...I don't.

Dan,

"So, suddenly, it's two sets of rules"

It's called "exceptions" like have always existed about many rules.

Either you are Anal-Retentive or you're a troll.

Et,

Ive answered that question in the past.

Not doing again with you.

Lamp,

People in rural areas or small precincts will likely mail their ballot.

There would be less need for extensive checks and balances.

Lamp,

"Why should it not?
Simple question."

Humans.

The less humans are involved in getting information from point A to point B, the better.

Show ID, fill in ballot. Feed ballot into scanner. Record your vote.

No need for all the checks and balances to insure everyone who sent in a ballot by mail got their vote recorded and catch possible attempts to defraud the system.

In person scanned ballots is so much easier to count with virtually no opportunity for lost votes and better verification of the voter eligibility to vote.

But...I'm wasting my time explaining this again.

Some day Congress will need to step into this issue and set standards states will work within.

Dan,

"You don't get the irony, do you?"

I don't get what you mean. Unlike other posters here I dont claim to have inside connections to DC and the war department where they know all the facts and inner workings of Washington.

People here talk like they are experts on absolutely everything. I mean everything. There's not a topic people here aren't well versed.

Sorry...don't know about your irony.

The world of politics I think politicians are always telling us what they want us to think. That didnt start with Trump but apparently some here are so naive they think it did.

Zed,

"Trump is imagining these negotiations out of a deep and sick persona need"

Personally, I don't know what the truth is.

But it's interesting that you automatically take the word of the Iranian regime without question.

That says a lot. The level of hatred for Trump in this country must run pretty deep for someone to trust a government with a long reputation for dishonesty over their own government.

And let's not pretend this ends with Trump.

The next Republican president will get the same treatment.

Lamp,

"Democrats seems to be turning to the Bible to get votes"

Turning to the Bible isn't the same as turning to Jesus.

I've said before, it is possible to turn the Bible into an idol and worship it and not worship God.

I've seen it happen.

Donner,

"Mail in voting will continue"

Don't be so quick to assume there won't be problems showing up in the future with mail-in ballots that bring it's reliability into question.

"oh no....that will never happen"...I'm sure you believe.

Unless you have special powers of knowing the future, you just don't know what can happen.

I setup accounting systems and as experienced as I was, inevitably all these people using the system found some way to create problems.

It's nearly always the human factor and people not using the system exactly as it was designed and tested to be used.

Don't assume mail in voting will continue indefinitely.

Msgt,

"No problem with requesting and sending a mail-in ballot, [I did a few times when in the military]"

That is an "absentee ballot".

Totally different thing just as you stated.

Sit,

If you think their deaths were planned, you must be high.

Corky,

Do you have any idea what the word "deliberately" means?

Snoofy,

ICE isn't deliberately gunning down anyone.

Not pursuing this with you.

Just you have issues if you think they're remotely similar.

But you aren't alone. There are millions of idiots just like you believing that same nonsense.

No wonder I left the Democratic Party. They've lost their marbles.

Corky,

"But enough about the Trump Admin...."

Stick a cork in it.

Eff,

You call me dishonest while you're attempting to condemn the US for something you're just imagining could happen.

Whether you're talking to liberals or conservatives, no one is going to support the slaughter of protestors, even if it was ONLY 3000.

You're fighting an uphill battle with your line of thinking.

Eff,

They aren't officers. They're hired muscle for a violent regime.

What would you call them if they worked for the mafia? Thug? Certainly not police.

Calling it a "government" when it functions like the mob doesn't change what it is.

Eff,

We're talking about Iran....not the US.

You call me dishonest while you're deflecting?

I really can't recall the last time law enforcement in America deliberately slaughtered protestors in the street.

Can you?
