Forthcoming Elections

Lots and lots of tricks...

Mail-In Voting Fraud in New Jersey

"The hundreds of potentially fraudulent ballots have the potential to sway the outcome, especially in some of the more heated races, like in the city's second ward between incumbent Shahin Khalique and former councilman Mohammed Akhtaruzzaman."

Oh-No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o !

Say it isn't so.

I'm sure Don doesn't object when they are white and conservative.

Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has voted by mail 11 times in 10 years

What could go wrong with no way to good way to confirm that the ballot matches with the registered voter?  Trump could be cheating!

 My take on National Elections -- All voters must be American citizens and must provide valid picture ID. The ONLY exceptions would be 1). military and government officials stationed outside of the United States at the time of elections and 2). persons with disabilities that will not allow them to psysically get to the polling place. Elections should be held over a consecutive 2 day period. I know of nowhere else in the WORLD where a non citizen can vote in another country's national election. 

Hey, go ahead.   Outlaw mail-in ballots.   You'll nullify the vote of every disabled senior citizen in addition to all the seniors locked down in nursing homes....and every soldier over seas.    In other words -  groups that overwhelmingly identify as Republican.

But Republicans dont want to stop mail-in voting.  They just dont want people outside their demographics utilizing it.   

Most states have laws that allow for absentee voting.   The problem isn't allowing/not-allowing it.   The problem is it historically is used by less than 5% of the voting public.   If that suddenly turns into 50% most states dont have the infrastructure to handle it efficiently.      So if you want every state to be like FLorida and still counting ballots a month after the election - then by all means dont expand mail-in voting.       Just remember the self-inflicted wound you casued when that occurs.  

PJ - re-read what I wrote - then tell me about the disabled and the military. Then you can apologize.

I did....and you self-identified as someone belonging to the group in my second paragraph.  Here it is again...

"But Republicans dont want to stop mail-in voting.  They just dont want people outside their demographics utilizing it.   "

Explain to me how any of the people in your list are unable to have their vote exploited in the same manner as the people you dont want to mail-in vote.   If you can answer that rationally then you can be taken seriously....otherwise we can safely call you a partisan hack with no interest in free and fair elections, cant we?

The same way it's done live--with a signature. A registered voter will have his signature on file and that can be matched with his signature on the ballot.

Duh.
