Trump Needs to Suspend the 2020 Election

[SDHornet]

JSO isn't that big of a fish.

What an interesting question. Should we discard our elections? Sounds like that would violate our constitution. And we know how much Tripz and his ilk LOVE the Constitution and the rule of law.


Nah. I don’t see Tripz and his hardy generational band going for this. They’re nihilistic and wouldn’t want to see this country elect anyone who’d prevent them from getting free stuff.

Accuracy.

Eggs-actly.

89Hen joining in right on cue. Even though Alpha posted this about trump suspending the 2020 Election.....let's change this to Hillary/Pelosi/blah/b;ah/blah.......because you know.....that's the way MAGA rolls here at CS.com.

Can we just change your name to Knee Jerk? I was responding to Silenoz saying that most of Trump's base would be happy. You're so blind.

He loves him some crappie, or croppie, or whatever that 4 oz fish is.

[89Hen]

And if a Dem were president, all of his/her/whatever's base would be happy with it too.

No. The reality is clear. If everybody who is eligible to vote votes, that is bad for Republicans. They know that. So they spend a lot of time trying to prevent many people who are eligible to vote from voting.

Wait, who is "they"? I thought you were a republican.

[Vidav]

Just for the record, the president can't change the election. So Alpha is an idiot. Carry on.

He's a small delusional croppie that I would throw back everytime

When I got to page with with the various threads and saw JSO was the last one to respond I KNEW it would be that he had responded to Alpha's troll.

You never disappoint JSO!

Are you sure? Marry a woman who likes bass fishing and golf? Probably likes football too. You’d never get away.

I maybe going stir crazy, but if those three were the line-up that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

There are other solutions than simply cancelling or postponing an election.

In fact, I think this would be a great time to EXPAND how people can vote. Maybe make it a week long affair, allow nationwide mail-in ballots, increase the number of polling places, etc. All which increase voter participation while assisting in social distancing.

But hey, I hate Democracy.

If you can't vote on a certain day it's not important enough for you to have the chance

Must be nice to look down upon the downtrodden, and good Democracy, from your ivory tower.

You're very lucky the system works for you. I can get why you want to keep it that way.

I agree with Trip on this one. There are ways it can be done and it's an opportunity for both sides to get some things they want (increased security in exchange for increased access).

I know every state is different but in Iowa if you can't find vote it's because you're either lazy or stupid. Besides election day we can request absentee ballots and they will be mailed to your home. Return postage to the election officer is included so it's no cost. They have early voting at the county courthouse during regular business hours plus Saturdays before the election (I think its up to a month before).

Same in ND and SD, and very similar to what I remember of MN. I haven't set foot in a polling place on Election day since I first voted.

Where I live in my little section of PA, voting is easy. But trip and UNI are right, voting is not as easy as it should be everywhere. Even in PA, just a county over, you see stories about a certain township where they have people waiting in lines for hours to vote (where I live, even in the busiest of elections, I've waited a max of 5 minutes). In some places I'm sure it could be partisan-based why the voting is difficult, but in most cases it just comes down to how effective the local government is. Local government basically decides where precincts are, where polling places are, how they get equipped and manned, and all of those things dictate how easy voting is. It's incredible how much people don't get involved in local politics as it's at this level, not the Trump/Pelosi's of the world, that most of the actual work of government is done. You can bet if I chose to live in a place where I had to stand in line for an hour to vote because of a lack of precincts and crappy planning, that I'd be in the audience at the next township meeting to raise holy hell.

With that said, I'm also in favor of opening up mail in ballots as well to a wider segment, but as we've seen even recently, this can be really manipulated (the GOP guy in NC sending in fake ballots and the ballot harvesting done out in CA by Dems). If we can come up with sensible ways to ensure that mail in ballots don't get altered or manipulated, then I'm all for greatly increasing voting via that method. Until then, though, I'm fine with opening polling places for longer (say a week at a time) to make it easier to vote. If you can't get to a polling place once over a 7 day period I don't know what to say.

Flyover states doing something right. :

We also have a 3 or 4 day early in person voting, in addition to absentee ballots. The polling places for those are not in every precincts, but most of the city is no more that 10 minutes from any of them. There is one less than 2 minutes from my work if I chose to go there. Also my work will give you up to 2 hours to go vote.

Local government, a microcosm of our state and federal governments and the people we elect to those positions.

If you are downtrodden then you have nothing but time to vote but you probably are not smart enough to choose wisely, you will just choose whomever SAYS they will give you the most free shit. Which is why I have no problem making their lives hard as possible.

I am sick of the system working for them and not productive citizens, if you want cradle to grave care go to Cuba
