A javascript program could register to vote tens of thousands of times and get as the required unique IDs to reqest ballots online. Just ask Nithya Raman how.

So you think here's nothing in place that validates voter registrations.

You think any ballot that shows up in the mail gets counted, no questions asked.

You're dumb, Visitor_.

And nobody can state the Victory Condition for the United States.

It's giving "We have always been at war with Iran" vibes.

"Freud avoided "empathy" because he associated with telepathy and occult phenomenon."

I don't know much about Freud, but he doesn't seem scientific at all. I don't quite understand why people think his ideas are so worth exploring, is it just because he was a pioneer in the field that's largely abandoned him?

Hence, in this view, the Nazis would be considered empathic.

Sure. And you don't even need terror to get there. It's empathetic to both, to relieve the burden of an epileptic child from his mother.

IT would be possible to print to PDF and make all the ballots you wanted I suspect.

And then what, you think you're gonna scan a few hundred ballots at the polling place on election Day when nobody's looking?

Or maybe you think they can't tell a real ballot from a fake. No need for a PDF, you could just Xerox a ballot a hundred times and mail them all in.

They'd never catch you!

"historic investments" in this context means "graft theft of taxes for my friends"
+ ACA was a graft for the insurance lobby

Sounds like your real problem is not with politics, but with Capitalism.

Because if there was no profit motive, there would be no way to do these for-profit grafts.

Most if not all states provide sample ballots

I have been contacted twice via text message by parties offering to pick up the ballot I downloaded.

That was nice of the Nigerian Prince to offer to do that for you.

conspiracy mongering ... AIPAC
#98 | Posted by BellRinger

AIPAC isn't a conspiracy. It's a public operation with a public political agenda called Zionism.

Notice I didn't say illegal, or fraudulent, just rigged.

So the election was legal, and free of fraud.
Glad we cleared that up!

"You sound just like your cult leader. Except you don't have the sense to storm out of the room when asked for proof of your claims."

Actually I think he just left.

So why should I vote, in this arrangement?
Either way, the winners are going to take from me, either by higher taxes or higher prices.
#29 | Posted by john_savage2

By your calculus:
The only ones who aren't losers. are the ones who go into politics.

So.
Why'd you choose to be on the losing team?

It was working fine until somebody couldn't wait their turn.
#28 | Posted by john_savage2

Any guesses who that "somebody" was, who couldn't wait his or her turn?

Also, it's funny that you used the "their" pronoun.
I didn't think you were a Pronoun Kind OF Guy!

I want it to be open and transparent. California's system is neither.
#62 | Posted by BellRinger

What specifically fails to be open and transparent about California's system?

The most informative part of this ginned-up "controversy" is Republicans can't say anything they'd change to "fix" it.

You fully support Platner, a genuine Nazi
#40 | Posted by BellRinger

Let's see his Nazi plans, can you throw me a link to his official campaign page?
Thanks!

What the real issue is, is Los Angeles, I'm pretty sure all of California, does paper ballots.
So it's harder to hack.
#75 | Posted by ClownShack

We should use paper ballots nationwide.
Ask Republicans to explain why they don't think we should use paper ballots for all elections.

Which of these is easier.
Stuffing a physical ballot box with 10,000 fraudulent ballots, each having been filled out 10,000 fraudulent times
Or: Adding 10,000 fraudulent votes, once, to a number in an Excel spreadsheet.

The most informative part of this ginned-up "controversy" is Republicans can't say anything they'd change to "fix" it.

California legalized ballot harvesting and ballot curing.
#55 | Posted by BellRinger

Ballot harvesting in California, legally referred to as third-party ballot return, is the practice where any person can collect a completed vote-by-mail ballot from an eligible voter and return it to a polling place or registrar's office.

Ballot curing in California is the legal process allowing voters to fix missing or mismatched signatures on their vote-by-mail ballot return envelopes after submission but before election certification.

^
How do these activities give rise to "Maybe it's rigged, maybe it isn't?"

They don't, according to you:
My understanding is the count is not what is driving the controversy. It's that the late counted ballots skewed so heavily for the candidate who conceded on Election Day to move her to second place that the ballots themselves have the appearance of being fraudulent.
#24 | Posted by BellRinger

So what's the relevance of California legalized ballot harvesting and ballot curing?
Nothing. You're just trained to respond that ballot curing and ballot harvesting are "controversial."
You are a prolific fear monger.

OH, sorry, Not really fair to pin this on "California."
How long should it take for Los Angeles County to count two million ballots?

And, uh, about that appearance of impropriety: Do you allege it's sufficient to change the outcome of the elections?
Or just that something fishy is going on, but you're not sure what, just that it's fishy.

Serious question, for people who believe there is "the appearance of fraud" here:

How long should it take for California to count 1,693,093 mail-in ballots and 397,392 in-person ballots?

A day?

"Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack."

Awesome, which school are we bombing next?

"The people deserve to know the outcome of an election on Election Day,
Not weeks later"

2000 on Line 1.
2020 holding on Line 2.

"The people deserve to know the outcome of an election on Election Day"

And who deserves to pay for that?

"You can't say the same about LA? Or is it defend defend defend, because it's viewed as your teams?"

I don't see what's happening in LA as anywhere close to Florida 2000. What exactly do you see as being so problematic in LA? Is it just that it's taking a long time?

Are lawyers even involved in LA? Because they sure were in Florida.

Is there a Brooks Brothers riot type of event happening in LA?

All I see about this "controversy" comes from right wing disinformation; known propaganda outlets.

Are you, personally, seeing something different?

Thanks for bringing this up, I like it when others can make my point for me.

I'm glad you agree that Florida 2000 had "the possibility of looking fraudulent."
