I'm not paying attention to the live results.

But I do have to wonder:
What's the Vegas over-under on
Number of lawsuits filed over the election results

I'm guessing a conservative 183 and a half.

My opinion on Voyager 1 is we should go pick up our trash.

Not opposed to the mission. Opposed to throwing trash at the universe.

So.......why no argument from the democratic party if those closures hurt them???

I see.
Because you didn't know about the countless arguments making just that point, they must have never happened.

Democracy has had many of you in a very foul mood for some time now

It's more the lack of democracy, from illegal Republican Voter ID laws to Republicans scrubbing the voter rolls to deliberately disenfranchise likely Democrat voters.

Your comment reads about as true as the police report on George Floyd:
"Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction"

You, Eberly, remain a credit to your race.

"Texas enacted its strict voter ID law, Senate Bill 14, in 2011, requiring voters to present one of seven state-approved photo IDs to vote. A federal judge ruled in 2017 that lawmakers intentionally discriminated against Latino and black voters in passing the law." --AI Summary

Eberly would like to know if that illegal action by Texas ACTUALLY matters when it comes to elections.

Much like arguing that attempted murder isn't really a crime because nobody was killed, Eberly wonders if attempted voter disenfranchisement really matters, if it didn't swing an election.

Isn't that nice?

It just means you can produce an election that was decided by suppressed votes.
or you can and you just don't want to.

There's lots of evidence for this from Florida 2000.
Florida outsourced their voter roll scrub to a Georgia company, so as to be undiscoverable under Florida law.
Many eligible voters, mostly minorities, came forward to say their names had been removed from the rolls, despite being eligible voters.
It was also discovered that Florida was rejecting voters with the same name and same birthday as e.g. a convicted felon, which is not a strong enough match. A process one could safely assume was intended to remove legal voters.

"Danforth" it, why don't you?
It just means you can produce an election that was decided by suppressed votes.
or you can and you just don't want to.

It's not different in any meaningful way.

The sheer amount of money is not a "meaningful" difference in your world?
You're lying.
Badly.

Soros has been doing this for decades. And the left loved it.
#18 | Posted by BellRinger

Democrats loved it so much they passed a law to ban it.
A law which was overturned by a Republican led Supreme Court.
A law that you supported overturning, in the name of "Freedom Of Speech."

"What I do know is that any time voter verification and security measures are proposed Democrats scream bloody murder."

Let's just ask some questions then.

Tell us, how does Voter ID actually increase voter verification?

Give us several examples where it worked. Incidents where a person who wasn't a registered vote was stopped from voting when because they were not able to produce ID.

Because there are several examples where a person who was a registered voter lost the right to vote because they did not have ID.

So where are your examples of Voter ID working?

All anyone has ever seen in the real world is voter ID preventing registered voters from casting a ballot. We've only ever seen disenfranchisement.

Oh, and you not being able to acknowledge that fact is what makes you a liar.

"My belief is Democrats are more successful at voter fraud than Republicans based upon the voting laws in blue states vs red states."

Following that, uh, "logic," do you believe gun control is successful based on the lower incidence of gun violence in blue states vs red states?

Example: Alabama, which closed multiple DMV offices in minority areas to make it more difficult to get an ID.

Example: Ohio, which is legislatively restricted to one early voting site per county.

A restriction that and deliberately makes it harder to early vote in the more densely populated counties. You know, the counties with cities in them, and lean heavily blue.

While also allowing Low IQ Republicans And The Liars Who Enable Them to say "Each county gets one early voting site, sounds fair to my ignorant ass!"

Trump raped a child, but it's a girl?
Disappointing.

"If I see a Woman pilot, I'm gonna be like, 'Boy, I hope she's qualified.'"
--Charlie Kirk

"He also isn't in favor of any checks and balances in voting."

You're just making stuff up, hastily, without any basis.

You can't even name the checks and balances in place in a state which does not require voter ID.

Snoofy is a racist who thinks people of color are incapable of getting an ID.
#39 | Posted by BellRinger

Snoofy is a realist who recognizes that Republicans make it more difficult to obtain State issued ID, solely as a tool for back-door disenfranchisement of lower socioeconomic status voters.

If Republicans wanted to actually secure elections with Voter ID, they would enact Federal legislation to provide free national voter ID for everyone.

Republicans staunchly oppose a free national ID card, precisely because it would be an end-around on State level restrictions tailored to disenfranchise demographics that Republicans don't want voting.

Your inability to respond to these observations is how we know you aren't a serious person who doesn't really understand anything about (or is lying about) why Republicans are enacting Voter ID at the State level, but never the National level.

Regrettably she no longer has the mental capacity to vote responsibly.

Thanks for confirming you disenfranchised her!

"According to Snoofy this is fascism."

It's a tool in the fascist shed, that's for sure.

Your first clue should have been the extent to which the fascist party thinks voter ID helps them win elections.

You know what's another tool of fascism?
Your revisionist history.

You just said "Just voted in Texas. as always, you have to show an ID."

In fact, voter ID is a new requirement that's only existed about 8% of the time Texas has been a state!

"Texas first introduced voter ID requirements in 2011 with the enactment of Senate Bill 14."

Perhaps you deliberately went with a "We have always been at war with Eurasia" type of comment.

But I don't think you're that clever.

I think you said that to lend the imprimatur of historical precedent to something that's been newly crafted by the fascists.

Am I right?

You're too busy thinking about men's penises to answer.

To sum up:

I'll be interested in seeing how the money flowed this election cycle.
Where it came from, how much, etc.

Thanks for opening wide when I had to spoon feed you the context you apparently couldn't get for yourself, you lazy bastard.

You figure out this --------- is MAGA yet or are you still hungry?

Trump Says He Would Have Won Vietnam War in a Week

This is what I voted for.
--Boaz

She has dementia so I didn't take her to vote.
#30 | Posted by BellRinger

You disenfranchised your own mother?
I find that very easy to believe!

All good. I don't begrudge people for how they vote.
#27 | Posted by BellRinger

That's a bad thing.

People voting for fascism, people voting to take people's rights away. Those are exactly the people you would grudge, if you had morals.

Please explain how we know this person is maga

There's history here. History that you aren't aware of or you wouldn't be asking that question.

Dean Withers has a popular podcast, is liberal, and therefore has been targeted by MAGA.

Employers pay payroll taxes, regardless of their legal structure
but you knew that.

You suck at ad-libbing your own right wing talking points.

"and in the world of the left sexuality, gender, etc... are all just social constructs and they have their own 'pedophiles are just born that way' contingency too."

I don't think so.

People on the center and left think pedophiles are created when adults exploit children. These children grow up thinking that's normal, and "pay it forward."

Now it's certainly true that people can be born with all sort of sick desires, but that's not presented as an excuse. That's just a fact of life. Just because you're born wanting to burn things doesn't make it okay. Noticing that about someone simply means you're capable of empathy. It doesn't mean you support them.

It's also worth noting that the very institutions conservatives tend to fawn over are the ones that put adults in positions of trust, and then allow those trusted adults unsupervised access to children. Police, priests, sports coaches, all authority figures children are trained to follow. Tangentially, look how the police groomed Kyle to be a gun-totin' vigilante that night. That wasn't anyone other than the far right doing that.
