"Framework is built on a number of assumptions,"

The macro dials tell the overall story. The assumptions are more micro, like if AZ averages 60 or 62 per day.

Fact is, Covid is killing Republicans in outsized numbers compared to Democrats. And it doesn't take a macro genius to know why.

Wow...that post didn't age well.

I believe a retraction is in order. Seems like I'm not the one who is "allergic to facts".

"The problem is not required to verify identity to request a no questions asked mail-in ballot."

The person requested it, and already had registered as a legal voter. Where is the problem?

"Inadequate checks and balances."

There are LOTS of checks and balances. You're just pretending they don't exist.

"Potential for fraud."

After clearing at least five hurdles, any of which short-circuit the process.

Person who requested the vote has to choose not to vote.
Vote must be for the Other candidate than the voter would've chosen.
Voter would have to live in a swing state to matter in a Presidential Election.
One party must commit this crime much more than the other to make any dent.
Voter must keep quiet about having vote stolen.

Any sizable organized attempt at fraud would be spotted, since fakers have no way of telling who will vote and who won't, and a sizable attempt would create lots of double votes. And since "questionable mail-in ballots" was a talking point in the last election, the fact NO ONE is coming forward stating their vote was taken from them by an ex, speaks volumes: scenarios like this most often exist in fevered dreams, and nothing more.

"(Unless), of course, you are Polly Anna and believe the world is honest."

I don't have to believe that. All I have to believe is one side is not much, much, much more dishonest than the other regarding this issue. Do you understand the math behind why?

"That sounds like a problem to me."

Why?

Please be specific.

"I don't have a clue what, if any, identity information I gave."

Same here.

I also know my signature has radically changed over the years; I'm now signing >1000 tax returns annually. It's the main reason I voted in person.

Of course, as a white guy, I knew I'd get in and out of my polling station quickly. 9 minutes, with parking.

"All the reasons you listed are literally excuses to deny Americans their right to vote."

Yep.

Legitimate and legal voters.

More will be disenfranchised than all the voter fraud convictions in Texas history.

"And if the looney left gets their way, they will try to tie it to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid..."

No Democrat has put forth legislation mandating as much. No Democrat has even proffered such an idea.

In fact, no one is suggesting that, except you. So you can condemn the idea,

Be sure you don't light up around that strawman.

Yikes.

Between losing ~90% of their revenue, and battling the Dominion $1.3 Billion lawsuit, they're in some real trouble.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of folks!

"Why should you be allowed to vote if you can't follow simple ------- instructions? "

For the same reason taxes are due, whether you know how to fill out the forms or not.

"Cheering rioters, arson, assaults, looting and homicides is really ugly."

Pretending they all represent one side is even uglier.

"the numbers are well documented"

The political bents of the rioters aren't.

Why have you avoided assigning a percentage of the destruction to YOUR brethren?

"much of what is in there was validated by the Horowitz IG report. "

Are you going there, after the IG concluded the origin was valid, and none of the transgressions invalidated the crimes discovered?!? You've intimated that krapp before, and been proven wrong before. DO NOT fall back on that lie again.

Anyone brining up math should look at two macrostatistics:

"You've gone to that well so many times, it's childish."

Once with you.

Who were you when I went there before?

"Over the course of 8 months your lefty brethren racked up impressive numbers. "

Still haven't come up with a percentage to assign to your brethren, huh? Why the fear?

Oh that's right. You're that middle-school kid obsessed with gay sex.

" In 2016 I voted for Gary Johnson and mostly libertarian candidates with a few Republicans sprinkled in."

Yep. Trump enablers, one and all, but not Trump, nope, not at all.

I've been on sizable boards (150-300) with crazy sub-groups. Once in a blue moon one of the crazies would have a salient idea, but the rest of the time we'd groan when they'd approach the microphone, snicker when they spoke, and quickly dismiss their goofy motions before moving on.

We also all secretly feared a scenario where the morons got the helm.

"Please don't pay attention to our state; it's literally run by morons."

That's what happens when you gerrymander to the point where Democrats could get 75% of the statewide Congressional vote, yet still wouldn't control 50% of the legislature.

For those using Actual Math, that means Republicans could lose by 50 points, 75-25, and still control the state legislature. When it's that lopsided, the crazies come out to do all the things simple majorities wouldn't have allowed.

"Pronschinske"

Isn't that a type of Polish sausage? As in, "Hey, Stanley, I'll take two Pronschiskes and a Coke"...?

"for breaking a window."

An own-goal.

Every time it's posted.

"Nessel is punting like a coward. DOJ isn't going to touch this."

What will she do then?

"You are channeling"

You are mischaracterizing, again.

For women in Texas, it's already true: Government can't force you to wear a mask, but they CAN force you to carry pregnancy to term.

Address that "channel", why don't you?

So these same folks who just said the government can't force you to wear a mask...

...are just about to say the government CAN force you to carry a pregnancy.

" how come you post articles on DR about people who die without the vaccine but completely ignore the 9,810 deaths (as of 11/20/21) from people who had the vaccine but died from covid afterwards?"

Because the VAERS site specifically has a statement where it warns against people making that conclusion. It goes on to say they investigated all of the thousands of reported deaths after getting the vaccine. All they found were the three Johnson and Johnson deaths they already knew about. (That was from blood clotting problems, which was immediately addressed and fixed.) However at that time, they were 8,164 deaths following a vaccine. VAERS investigated ALL Of them, and found none of the deaths to be "as a result of" the vaccine.

That's why.

Anyone still stating there are thousands of deaths as a result of getting the vaccine is a dangerous, ignorant liar.
