" Easier"

Interesting.

In the past, you've admitted you didn't want it easier.

I guess that was just for "certain" people.

" ... or think."

I think if it was happening to tens of thousands of people, AT LEAST ONE would come forward.

I'm thinking math, statistics, and human nature.

I'm also thinking you're a coward for not admitting you don't have a single iota of proof, even after 155 years of examples.

"The difference between absentee and mail in is night and day."

Where's your proof?

Again, if your theory was correct, you'd have mountains of proof, with scores of examples.

Link or stink.

"Absentee ballots have a chain of custody."

So do mail-in ballots. They're watermarked, and serial-numbered.

Where are the victims of your theory? If you were correct, they'd be coming out of the woodwork. Why zero, especially after five years???

"Have I said fraud in this thread"

If ballots are being misused or stolen, that's fraud.

Now, let's discuss the ways in-person voting can be affected:

Fewer polling places for "some" voters
Longer lines
Limits on assisting those in long lines
Bus lines down, or running slowly
Construction on thruways
Extra speedtraps on thruways
Armed guards at polling places
Shortened hours to mirror bankers' hours
Extra requirements, like a BC from an elderly born in a rural hospital
Denial of no-excuse absentee ballots

Quick question for all:
Should it be made HARDER or EASIER for the legal voter to cast a legal vote?

" there is no evidence a plane or truck won't get destroyed in the future"

Who delivers votes by plane?

And if that were to happen, the follow-up would be relatively easy, since all the boxed votes would be known, since they all have serial numbers attached to that particular ballot.

" there is no evidence a plane or truck won't get destroyed in the future"

Just like there is evidence whose ballots were being transported.

Still NO EVIDENCE, just cockamamie theories.

"You're thinking small."

I'm thinking if your theory was right, AT LEAST ONE person would've come forward.

The fact NO ONE has EVER claimed your theory PROVES it didn't happen, especially if NO ONE has come forward after 5 years. Or 30 years. Or 155 years.

"There is little evidence to support that."

You've had 30 years to find the problems with Oregon. You couldn't find ONE.

You've had 155 years to find problems with military voting. You still haven't produced ANY.

"Five years is proof? Proof of what?"

ANY fraud beyond the garden-variety of voting for a deceased relative.

And try ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE years. Where are the examples of fraudulent voting by the military??? Where are the complaints ANYONE's vote was swiped???

The fact is, if it was happening on ANY scale, witnesses would be coming out of the woodwork, ESPECIALLY after a close election.

"Mail-in ballots in their current state are insane."

Prove it.

AT LONG LAST, provide ONE SCINTILLA of proof for your statement.

"There is little evidence to support that."

More important, there is NO evidence supporting that.

If that was actually happening, you'd have scores of folks (who confirm their votes) squawking.

The fact NOBODY came forward is VERY TELLING.

"Wanna talk about voter fraud?"

Not particularly.

How about the fact it's been five years, and still NO ONE has come forward with ANY proof of fraud other than the garden-variety we see in every election?

" no harm caused...unless you count a mob storming the Capitol because they were convinced the election's integrity was bogus."

It's been five years, and still ZERO proof it was bogus.

When will you admit the problem was THE LIE?

"(Due Process is) an American right."

No, it's the right of "all persons" on American soil.

Why are you misrepresenting Constitutional rights?!?

" you dumb asses want due process for foreign terrorists."

You cruel bastards can't even admit illegals are "persons".

Extradition without Due Process is kidnapping.

"ICE isn't military."

Moot point, when it comes to rights.

Are those here illegally, "persons" ... ?

If not, when did THAT change???

" People from 3rd world countries were trafficked into this country by the millions."

They also returned from travel in the millions.

You have no science, so you lie.

Again ... when did dormancy change from hours to months?

If you have no proof, have the class to admit it.

" you had no problem with those diseases being imported into this country."

Meanwhile, you have no problem embracing science which does not exist.

When did the dormancy go from days to months?!?

" I fill out the ballot at the polling station after showing g ID. I feed it into the machine. That is more secure than mail in ballots"

Link to proof, please.

" As for me personally, I will only vote in person."

Nonsense. The day will come when you can't get to the polls on voting day, for one reason or another. Are you saying you WON'T vote in that Presidential election?!?:

" I will only vote in person. It is the most secure way to vote."

It's also the easiest to impede. Bus lines down, construction on the main thru streets, fewer polling places, longer lines.

Your position, literally, is An additional barrier to voting won't be an additional barrier to voting.

"them SCOTUS Justices gotta WORK for that RV"

Pretty cheap for billions of dollars of decisions.

More like Clearance Thomas.

" It has to do with America is in debt, and can't get out of it."

Maybe start with not renewing expiring tax cuts.

Have you thought of that? Because you were dead silent when the BBB was being debated.

Basically, the folks you enable are just about to borrow another $5 trillion, mostly to give away in tax cuts to the world's wealthiest one percent.

Why didn't you speak up?

"A problem with ACA is it didnt address run away medical expenses."

"medical inflation."

Apologies: I should have said out-of-pocket medical expenses. My error.

The effect on the inflation was, obviously, greater than my claimed 44%.

From Google AI:

Before the ACA (Pre-2010)
Consistently High Inflation: Medical inflation, measured by the Price Index for Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) for health care services, was consistently at or above 3% per year in the early 2000s.
After the ACA (Post-2010)
Slowing Inflation: Health care services price growth saw a significant decline after 2010, reaching a near-historical low point of under 1% in 2015.
Periods of Low Inflation:
The period between late 2014 and early 2016 saw particularly low healthcare inflation, a rate not seen since 1961.
Rebounding Inflation: From 2015 onward, healthcare inflation began to rebound, increasing from under 1% to nearly 2% by early 2018.
Long-Term Comparison Medical Care vs. Overall Inflation:
Medical care prices generally grew faster than overall consumer prices throughout the period from 2000 to 2024.
Growth in Out-of-Pocket Expenses: While overall medical inflation slowed after the ACA, out-of-pocket healthcare expenses increased at an average of 3.4% a year before the ACA (2000-2009) and a slower 1.9% a year after (2010-2018).

(Math: 3.4 minus 1.9 equals 1.5; divided by 3.4 = 44%)
