You would have almost as many different ballots as you have soldiers. Not a logistical nightmare at all.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I wonder what a Justice like John Roberts thinks about his vote on Shelby County v. Holder (eliminated federal oversight of southern state election law changes) now, given what's gone on in the states affected by it.

Sorry, the GOP says that making election day a holiday so people have time to get to the polls a democrat power grab and racist. Elections should be impossible to get to unless you are an old rich white lady

Really? Who said that?

McConnell

Duffy admitting he was wrong? Nah. His go to in those situations is to move the goal posts, like he did above.

Mitchy boy.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Well thats fucked up. I am all for another paid day off!!!

"Agreed. If people think it is so inconvenient to vote that they cannot even bother to show up at the polls..... Or can't be bothered to have ID. I could have voted for my son and daughter in last election because they sent online id forms to my house. "

As JPO said above, the issue isn't the ids (at least in his mind and in my mind), but the fact that when it is brought up, it is usually for the sole purpose of suppressing votes of the opposing party.

I guess I just find it an indication of the sad state of the electorate. If 80 percent of people voted I wouldn't find it so discouraging a trend.

They constantly try to escape from the darkness outside and within
Dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good T.S. Eliot

Big day today, the Republican candidate's son, John Harris, testified that he warned his father before that he hired Dowless. He had noticed the weird absentee ballots associated with Dowless and told his father, Mark Harris, not to hire him because he was probably doing something illegal. Mark Harris hired Dowless anyway. Mark Harris has claimed that he had no idea Dowless would do anything illegal. Mark Harris did not know his son was testifying today and his son showed the emails where he warned his father.

Do you feel the need to make voting inconvenient? Is there some other issue outside the concern of fraud? When I lived in CA, I got my ballot in the mail weeks in advance, filled it out in the comfort of my home and mailed it in. It was great, only thing better would be to fill it out online. Now that I moved, I have to leave work early or get home late, go find some library, or community center, wait in line, then fill in some ballot.

If I can securely order anything I want and have it sent to my house in this day and age, why do I have to use some outdated method of electing who I want? I'll do it either way, but why make it harder than it needs to be?

Heard it on NPR this morning.

Ehhhllll Ohhhhh Ehhhlllllll. The son calling it out.

To me, the funniest part is that the guy pretty much came out and said something like "I won by enough ballots it wouldn't matter anyway". Uhm, no. I want prison. That's not how this works. You committed election fraud. If the woman in that other state went to prison for trying to cast her own bad ballots, this guy should too.

Good thing Harris wasn't elected, given that he would have had to step down now due to his "compromised health".

Yeah, choosing to not run again and now his ballot stuffing fixer is officially indicted.

It's freaking amazing. All the GOP talk of election fraud from illegal voters, from illegal immigrants, give us voter ID, etc.........and it turns out they're caught red handed stuffing the ballot box themselves.

And, to boot, we've got a major investigation about the POTUS involvement in election fraud with Russians.

It's like if we had a bunch of sanctimonious preachers railing against homosexuality, only to get busted for...homosexual encounters. Crazy, I know.

This guy:

one candidate got caught... I don't see major GOP people sticking up for them... do you? Maybe I missed it. She should be made an example of ...for sure. Big fine.. maybe a little jail time too and never be able to hold any public office for the rest of her life.

But don't kid yourself... illegals vote

You'd have to be a fool to say that no illegals have ever voted. But I've never seen any credible evidence of them flipping an election and that is what the GOP candidate did in this case.

If I'm an illegal and vote, that is voter fraud. If a candidate creates a bunch of fraudulent votes like happened here, that is election fraud and WAY worse than some random illegal voting.

Come back when you have credible evidence of a scheme where enough illegals vote to flip an election.

you comeback when you understand what I typed ?

For you:
GTFO with that Hillary crap. I'm assuming that's where you're going here. If not, you're going to have to explain your reply to the guy below and why you clearly wrote "she" and "her" here when the candidate and his ballot box stuffer were men.

What next, going to try to cry foul over Puerto Ricans voting in Florida?

Not for you:
Just freaking hopeless man. Hopeless. Everything is a conspiracy to the fringe members in the right. Everything.

After all the focus and investigating into illegals voting (which a few probably do), particularly by conservative states..........how many massive conspiracies have you uncovered? One lady jailed in one state IIRC?

The entire GOP voting strategy is to make the vote as hard as possible. Not just by legal means of protecting vote integrity, but through other means as well (closing polling locations, limiting early voting, making college students go home).

The GOP response to this is the definition of a "whataboutthem" with the whole illegal voter strawman. It's a strawman because we know limited numbers do it, shouldn't be doing it, and reasonable protections should be in place. But it always turns into another huge "conspiracy" which they use as a pretense to make it as hard as possible for folks to vote.
