USA Politics

Whatever the outcome on November 3, Trump will claim a yuge victory, the yugest ever won by a president in american history. That's when the troubles will start.

[Herman]

In the history of modern elections in the US there has virtually been no voter fraud.

You can read up on that.

Also, the only cases of voter fraud this year have been Republican shenanigans, that probably don't worry you as much.

I was upset to read about at least one voting box being set on fire (in Boston); luckily they were able to save a bunch of the ballots.  Hopefully those whose votes weren't legible will be able to resubmit their votes.  Has anyone heard about other boxes being vandalized/destroyed?

Thanks for the links, Commissar Herm. 

The GOP in California we're trying to prevent the illegal Dem power grab. The ballot drop offs were to prevent the likely destroying of anyone in a blue state voting red.

Only a GOP person would think more people voting is a Democratic power grab.

God, you're about as dumb as dirt. QAnon is up your arse too, right?

[flyingdutchman]

You're an open border lolbertarian. Of course millions of illegals voting doesn't bother you.

To vote legitimately, there's a lot more that goes into it to become eligible. I should know, my wife is a permanent resident, not a US citizen. She can't vote and she knows it. But keep on throwing up shit on the wall to see if it actually sticks. God, you're a fool.

Well, if millions of illegals voted, I would be bothered. But there's no evidence that hundreds of illegals voted, much less millions.
OTOH, there are thousands of legal citizens who are kept from voting by GOP suppression efforts.

[Herman]

No, 'cause they don't.

It's formally impossible to vote if you're an illegal immigrant.

You might have to provide some evidence for this one...

I believe nearly all (or all) of the ballots were identified and the voters were notified, as heard on a clip from a local news station.

    If millions of illegal immigrants successfully managed to vote under the noses of the California GOP, they deserve to be citizens right now if not sooner. We need their talents very strongly.

     That's how you catch fraudsters, right? We'll notify them right back to where they came from. Stamp out Satan!

Thanks.  I found this too:  https://whdh.com/news/boston-resident-says-her-vote-is-accounted-for-after-ballot-box-burned/

Wonder whether or not it was the same guy who also tried to set a mailbox on fire nearby?  See article for details.

p.s.  I was going to drop off my mail-in vote yesterday, but made the mistake of trying to use a black Sharpie.  As it was a two-sided ballot, it actually bled on through.  I was told (after contacting my town clerk) that it probably would be hand-counted then and that it shouldn't invalidate my vote(s), but I decided to be on the safe side and just go in myself and vote; and, yes, I'll shred my paper one today.

A double whammy from AmPo:

Whammy 1:

Judges nominated by President Trump play key role in upholding voting limits ahead of Election Day

An analysis by The Washington Post found that nearly three out of four opinions issued in voting-related cases by federal judges nominated by the president favored maintaining restrictions.

Duh.


Whammy 2:

With Election Day looming, an anxious nation hears rumblings of violence

Spook the elderly. 

[JBS]

Speaking of violence, I'll link this thread

My son worked on both of Obama/Biden's campaigns, attended the 2008 election night celebrations in Chicago, then Philadelphia in 2012. There was unbounded enthusiasm, energy and excitement. He told me he would never set foot in the US this time. Much too dangerous.

     I'll probably go to bed before Florida is called unless the margin is larger than it's expected to be.

Go, Lone Star State!
More than 10,000 Texans cast ballots overnight in Harris County's 24-hour vote centers.
