Part of her logic was Trump can't be added to the ballots in time after the Supreme Court rules on the other case. She believes in Democracy. Her one vote was more than the other side of zero votes. Therefore, she was following Democracy, because she was indoctrinated into thinking we're a Democracy. |

In Maine, it is indeed up to her. And Donnie's been charged with 4 felonies related to Jan 6, and historically a conviction has never been needed for disqualification. |

Who knows what he actually believes. I don’t think anyone truly thinks he is dumb enough to believe the nonsense he spews about the 2020 election being stolen. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Reminds me of Barry Seal flying in coke from Nicaragua which eventually flooded cities with crack.

This much is true: In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women. . . . https://www.guttmacher.org/gpr/2008/08/abortion-and-women-color-bigger-picture ---------------- The Gates Family, Eugenics and COVID-19 June 30, 2020 . . . Bill Gates’ father, William H. Gates, Sr., was a prominent banker and a lawyer in Preston Gates & Ellis. He also presided over many bar associations, organisation boards and started the Technology Alliance — a regional push to expand technology-based jobs throughout the 20th century. Importantly, Gates Sr. served on the board of Planned Parenthood (PP) during the group’s infancy — a re-branded organisation birthed out of the American Eugenics Society. The company spread from beginnings in Cold Spring Harbor genetics and virology labs on Long Island and Berlin, to today become one of the largest organisations in the US. Rockefeller-Bayar Co., BASF and Hoechst petrochemical-pharmaceutical consortium were all initial funders of the group. Make no mistake: Planned Parenthood was built on population control schemes — allied with the same groups who wanted genetic hierarchy laws to ‘preserve’ humanity and who sought to ‘beautify’ countries by stopping the “unfit” from reproducing. In their 2014 Annual Report, the pro-abortion and anti-family group reported seeing over 2.5 million patients in over 4 million clinical visits, including 324,000 abortions. The group claims to be a proponent of ‘free choice’, yet it is a eugenics front organisation in disguise. . . . https://prepareforchange.net/2020/06/30/the-gates-family-eugenics-and-covid-19/ ----------------- Chicago Mayor's Grand Plan To Stop 'Crime Crisis' Are Reparation Checks DEC 30, 2023 . . .

"Charged" is much different from "convicted." Perhaps other standards were used before, including against people who actually participated in a war against the US, but "conviction" in a court or in the Senate is a whole lot more appropriate standard than "charged" when we know that charges are filed without the defendant having a chance to present evidence or witnesses. "Historically" lots of things have happened. Those things are not always right. We'll see how all this plays out in court. |

Right, so that needs to be proven. Many states have had fairly lax mail-in voting for a long period of time, so even ignoring the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of avoiding the polls due to Covid-19, people are claiming that there is suddenly fraud associated with something that was long the case. I would be fine with mail-in voting including a requirement that one must submit a copy of one's ID along with the ballot. There have been a few objections (just on here to this), as I recall: 1. Security of including ID. -My opinion on thgis objection is that it's irrelevant; nobody is forced to mail-in vote, so if you see including your ID as a personal security problem, then just don't vote that way. 2. Fraud is still possible. -Don't really care. Also, if people are complaining that it's supposedly easy to commit fraud with mail-in ballots, then they should favor any effort that would make the process more legitimate. I don't think any voter fraud is occurring to sufficient degree as to be likely to change any results. However, I'm totally in favor of Voter ID, the mail-in suggestion I made, etc., etc., because there's no reason that it shouldn't shut people up.
My default position is that there is a non-zero amount of fraud in every POTUS Election, and I assume that this is done by both sides. Evidently, there were a few Trumpanzees charged with various things along those lines. I think any voter fraud is likely to be mostly self-cancelling, and even if it benefits one side more than another, I don't think it does so to a sufficient enough degree to alter an election. In any event, I like my ID idea, but it also wouldn't break my heart to get rid of mail-in voting entirely. If the latter, then I would say that people should have a thirty or sixty day window to make their votes at the County Board of Elections, or equivalent. I think back to the guys working out-of-town (that would have stayed at the hotel I managed); are they to incur the costs of driving to Louisiana (and back), on a very specific day, just to cast their vote? I would say any fraud, at least on a massive-enough scale to have changed the outcome, is largely suspected. It also doesn't escape my attention that only 21% of Trump voters thought the election was fair, many of whom would cite mail fraud, and yet, one-third of his voters voted by mail!
I'm fine with making elections more secure. I'm talking about whether or not there was provable fraud sufficient to change Trump from losing to winning; there's not. Whether or not elections, in general, should be made more secure is a separate question, in my view.
It's not rocket surgery and I've already addressed that. A high percentage of Biden voters showed up, specifically, to vote AGAINST Trump rather than FOR Biden. Trump drove turnout for both sides.
I said as much well in advance of linking this. I said it in advance of the election; I'll go find an applicable post, if you wish. I just didn't know that people would be turning out against Trump as such a high percentage of Biden voters. I'd have thought in the 25-40% range.
I don't have a dog in the fight; I'm just a Libertarian calling it as he sees it. Honestly, I really don't care if Trump wins in 2024, at this point. The Democrats would be getting what they deserve.

Another thing to add here is that Trump got more votes than Obama (in 2020 compared to Obama's 2012). With that, if you think Biden getting more votes than Obama proves anything vis-a-vis fraud, then did Trump get votes due to fraud, as well? Did one side just do a more effective job committing fraud, compared to the other? How do you explain Trump's massive vote count (in 2020 compared to Obama in 2012) when Obama had a nearly 50% favorability rating and Trump's approval rating was in the toilet?

You can charge anybody with anything, so what. How many people have been charged with Insurrection? Oh that's right, none. Not a single one has even been charged with Insurrection let alone convicted. Every single time you hear anybody say Trump is guilty of insurrection it's their opinion, it's not based on anything legal, it's not based on a decision of a court, it's not based on anything except they're worthless opinion. I'm sorry we didn't cover worthless opinions in the history classes that I had. LOL If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
