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.

Then perhaps you could point out the problems with the collective 56 years of experience of all mail balloting of CO, WA and OR.

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

So despite your best effort to fulfill your duty to establish systems and protocols to prevent such problems, factors beyond your control or contemplation defeated your effort.

Why do you think elections officials aren't in the same boat?

I did not post this to start a flame war, which is where that post will lead, over the ins and outs of the Mueller reports.

I posted this because its about the situation that exists today, right now, in the oval office from truths revealed by Mueller.

Most salient, ... the president and the people around him behave like gangsters. ...

That's the point. Not minutia.

The enduring truths, emphasis original:

The first enduring truth of the Mueller Report is that the Russians conducted a significant "active measures" operation on a variety of social media platforms to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The second enduring truth of the Mueller Report is that Russian military intelligence, in addition to the active measures, also conducted a campaign of hacking emails associated with the Democratic campaign and dumping them into the public domain.

The third enduring truth of the Mueller Report is that there were repeated and extensive contacts between Russian entities purporting to represent the government and officials of the Trump campaign.

Finally ... That truth is that ... the president and the people around him behave like gangsters. ...

Don't knee-jerk. This is a typical Lawfare deep dive.

... what is the point of this ruling. [sic]

It's not a "ruling." It's a Consent Decree. More commonly known as a settlement agreement. As is common with settlements there is no admission of the factual or legal basis for the claims or positions of the parties. It applies to no one else. It can only be enforced by the named parties. It establishes no precedent.

17. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into solely for the purpose of settling and compromising any remaining claims in this action without further litigation, and, except as stated explicitly in the text of the Agreement, it shall not be construed as evidence or as an admission regarding any issues of law or fact, or regarding the truth or validity of any allegation or claim raised in this action or in any other action.

... new one a Brownsville ...

I've believed and continue to believe the FL documents case against the Buffoon was a serious matter that should by played out in court. That Cannon ducked that seriousness is a sad statement about this Buffoon appointee.

Her attempts to bury Volume II makes it even worse.

The Eleventh Circuit has not yet given me hope.

If it arrives election day whats the issue?

If the mail ballot is cast, posted and postmarked on election day, all in accord with state law, what's the problem?

What if you and your authoritarian pals go f*** yourselves.

How folk transact their necessary business is not for your voyeurism. Try learning what the First and Fourth Amendments have to say about your desired perversion.

I grew up in NE Texas, third county to the left. My Dad's older sister, born and grew up in the same county, was married to an Army officer. They spent quite a bit of time in VA. When they came home they had noticeably different accents.

Over the course of my career, I've spoken with I don't know how many thousand people. I've noticed an homogenization of the accent and dialects of urban persons. I don't know how many times someone has commented on my NE Texas accent which I consider mild by local country standards.

Iran has prepared for this shooting conflict since Carter. The US has not.

Obama tried for a peaceful solution, with limited success, but the Buffoon Buffooned that.

So, here we are spending billions blowing up s*** that won't make any difference in the end.

American foreign policy in the hands of a Buffoon.

I highly doubt that. I spent basically 3 years playing with M1091A1s, a self propelled version of the towed 105mm weapon described in the article. The firing rate of a six gun battery in those years may have reached several hundred on a typical training mission a few times a year. No where enough to hit a million a day.

That said a 155 round alone is basically inert. It has no way to detonate without a fuse. In my day there were three fuses, PD, timed and proximity. PD, point detonating, goes off when it hits something. Timed goes of at a set time, fixed at the gun, after firing. Proximity goes off at a set distance from impact, basically determined by radar from the fuse. I'm sure technology now provides methods I'm not aware of. Nevertheless my point remains the same.

There is no explanation for a round exploding mid-flight as the investigation finds. Was it wise to shoot rounds over an interstate highway? No. Is there an explanation for the detonation? No. Do soldiers need live fire training? Of course. How is this incident prevented? Point West instead of East.

Got anything more credible than a social media post from "Apple Lamps?" If not, I'll stick with the Independent's article.

If these lawyers want their state licenses, needed after their DOJ position ends, they must deal with their state bar.

There is nothing feds in general, and bondi in particular, can do to change that.

That didn't age well.

The posture, the tone, the pace, it just drips of narcissism and self aggrandizement. And I only watched about 3 minutes, I can only imagine how embarrassing for the country the rest has been.

Jeez, I just watched about 3 minutes of this s***. There's not enough mind bleach ...

Voter fraud happens. It happens with both parties. Laws address it's miniscuity. It's not a problem. Get over it.

I don't see a link to the documents but neither am I seeing anything nefarious. Rules of civil procedure, both state and federal, provide for requests for discovery from third parties then there's the administrative requests. Those requests are generally considered as subpoenas.

Making them stick is another story.

... few percent is all that is required to swing many elections, ...

I don't think data upholds that. That aside, the concerns you voice are general. They exist without this stupid.

My guess? It's gonna TACO. Again.

I'm not seeing the confusion and suppression. I foresee the Buffoon signing something, the courts stopping it and normal voting processes proceed.

What do you see that foresee that leads to confusion and suppression?
