It will be interesting to watch.

I’m thinking Biden makes a moderate VP pick (probably Harris) who can either assume the candidacy or take over immediately. That’s a good thing as it might help with the divisiveness and prevent a wild swing to the left. If it were an Abraham’s type you might see moderate Dems jumping ship and a new center right coalition of establishment Dems and The Bulwark/Will/Sikes/ Never Trumpers form. I’ll throw a Jim Webb into the mix to make CID happy.

This might quiet down the crazies on the right enough.

Lefty media outlets are already attacking the black female legislator who was the former police chief in FL so I think we can all see where this is going

More importantly, I’m anxiously awaiting the twisting and turning from people who asked “how can you vote for Trump” turning around and shilling a candidate who is obviously skiing down the slope of obvious dementia

The mental gymnastics are entertaining.

If by “full retard” you mean get up and go to work each day and try to make a better life for ourselves despite who’s in the White House then yes.

No, I mean continue to believe stupid shit and spout it AND then accuse liberals of lying. I mean continue to say they’re Republicans with evidence to the contrary. They and most Dems are full of shit and hypocrites.

You should see the loons on Facebook - parroting Trump when there’s video and photographic evidence to the contrary. Ran 10 feet? No l, more like picked up the pace and took 3 steps. Hits Biden on his health yet can’t drink a glass with 1 hand and is obese. Says protestors kept crowds from coming when there’s photographic evidence showing none.

And the Dems....staging a bs photo-op wearing African garb after criticizing Trump for his own bs photo op at a church. Criticizing Trump for inaction yet they’re not doing anything themselves.

Sending ballots out in mass to every voter listed on local voter rolls, including those who didn’t ask for them, have no intention of voting, whether or not they’re eligible to vote, whether they still live at the address on file, whether they’re still alive, etc, etc)

And requesting an absentee ballot because you intend to vote, and plan on being out of town on election day

Are 2 completely different things. Saying its hypocritical is being ignorant of that fact.

From what I've read, absentee ballots must be requested. I'm aware of the fraud issue - it's always a legit concern. However, contrary to what Trump has claimed and lied about, we've seen that election fraud isn't a common occurrence. In fact, the most recent case that I can recall involves a North Carolina Republican. We're still in the middle of a pandemic, regardless of your feelings against science, you SHOULD want to do everything you can to promote the public health and safeguard our vulnerable populations.

According to our Government, the use of mail in voting and early voting is increasing. In fact, 16 states have more than 50% of all ballots cast being from early voting, mail in and absentee - and heads up many of them are Red States. Absentee and mail- in primarily benefits the elderly, disabled and military. Opening up to more people who want to protect their health shouldn't even be a discussion. However, here we are b/c Republicans have made it a question of not " How do we do this safely and protect our citizens" but rather, " The Dems want everyone to have access so they can steal the election." Typical fear mongering.




So what's the problem? Trump has made something out of nothing and the Republican base has fallen for it. The ONLY reason you'd be afraid of by allowing people to have wider access to being able to vote is that you believe it'll hurt your choice. You don't care about the integrity of the election - just that your guy wins.

Here’s another doozy...

In a typical election year, Kentucky has about 3,700 polling sites, according to most reports. When Election Day arrives on 23 June, there will be just 200 polling sites across the state — with some of those sites having to serve upwards of 600,000 residents.

Voting rights expert Ari Berman wrote in a tweet: “There will be one polling place for 616,000 registered voters in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where half state’s black voters live.”

Seems your input is a wee bit biased.

Basically, they have reduced the number of polling places, but that’s because of coronavirus and they did so with a bipartisanplan to keep voters safe. And at the same time, the state has been pushing early voting and absentee ballots at a scale unheard of before in Kentucky elections:

And yet the suit was brought by Republican and Democratic legislators. 600K for one place? The overall reduction is stupid too if Covid was the concern. Spread em out. Limit the lines and crowds.

I read it was a bipartisan group of officials that want the # of polling places increased and it's a judge that's prohibiting it. If the dramatic reduction was due to keeping the public healthy then the intent was good but poorly executed.

Hundreds of Mail-In Votes Already Set Aside Due to Voter Fraud Claims in Paterson

So mail-in voting on a wide scale can be problematic? Sounds reasonable. Why not combine mail-in voting with early voting? Many states (especially red ones) already do early voting. If you can't get to the voting place 2 weeks before the election or bother yourself to get an absentee ballot then you shouldn't be voting anyway.

I honestly do not understand how we can have such bad voter rolls. We know where people live. When they move, we usually know where the mail is forwarded, their new ID has an address, etc... It's a multi-prong approach. Require an ID to vote (you already need an ID for so many other things that if you're 18+ w/o an ID then you've got bigger problems). It won't prevent 100% but it might help.

I think Missouri requires mail-in ballots to be notarized. That seems harder than going to a poll.

I'm all for increased number of voting days at polling locations. Hell, they have everything set up. Might as well extend it to 3, 4, 5 days, whatever. Include a Saturday in the mix. Maybe two. Sat, Tue, Thur, Sat. I don't know. Something other than just one day. At least that can help alleviate the crush of people at the polls. Maybe that can reduce the number of polling stations as well, to eliminate antiquated systems that produce hanging clenzes.

I know when me and the wife moved, maybe 20 years ago now, she was still on the voter rolls in 3 different locations - in the city where she was before we moved in together, at the apartment where we just moved out of, and then in the township where we had just moved to. Technically speaking, she could've voted in 3 different locations that day and no one would've noticed.

It is amazing how screwed up the voter rolls are and that we apparently have little to no way to correct them. I don't think we're really equipped yet for mass mail in voting - between the mail harvesting that went on in California in 2018, to the outright fraud that the GOP guy tried in North Carolina, there's just way too many loopholes in that system. The worst thing to do is to create a system that people have less faith in than compared to the current one - if we can't trust election results then we're screwed.

I agree, that the solution has to be having voting open for multiple days. If you have it opened for 2 weeks and people still can't get there to vote then it's on the voter, not the system. The voter has to take some level of initiative to vote, and showing up once over a 2 week period should suffice. I'm in favor of ID to vote, but I wouldn't get hung up on that.

I do think one of the bigger problems we have is with manpower - the younger generations just don't volunteer for civic duties like manning the polling stations. That's why you have them staffed, sparsely most of the time, with mainly older people. Rarely do you see a polling worker under the age of 50. Granted, it's tough to volunteer when you also have to work, but volunteering across everything (youth sports, food pantries, polling places, etc) is way down, so it's not just one thing. That's an obstacle to more time to vote - who's going to staff the polling places over a two week period?
