Shades of the 2020 "Election" -- “No way this could have happened”: Trump sees all the makings of a “Rigged Election!”

Candy, I rember being taught in school that voting comes with a responsibility of knowing what the issues are and being intellectually engaged. Funny, I live in the same state I went to school in as a kid and that is no longer part of the curriculum. 🤔 I wonder why?

A mailing address is not necessarily a permanent address. However, if a homeless person lives at a shelter for even one day, and he has no other residence...that's his address. Nothing illegal or sinister about it.

A person does not have to have a current physical address to vote. He just needs to attest to being a resident of the precinct in question, which yes, could be sleeping in the nearby park.

If you spend even a small portion of your time at a physical address, and they can receive mail there, well, that's your address. Nothing "false" about it.

You're full of shit, Tom.

I don't even want to look back, but one of our resident assholes posted a Facebook video "exposing" PEEPUL PAYIN' HOMELESSFUL PEEPUL 2 VOTE!! They were handing homeless people blank ballots, and giving them $2 (HORRORS!) so that they could ride the bus to the polling station.

We know this kerfuffles MAGA, because they know: the more people vote, the worse they do. And they might be right when they say that homeless people will probably vote Democrat. So this voter assistance policy can be painted in two different colors. One, people are helping others to exercise their voting rights. Or two, evil Democrats are trying to pump up their side's turnout in any way possible.

Could it be a little bit of both? And do we ever see or hear of MAGA trying to assist their cult members to vote? 

I'm inclined to say that the more citizens vote, the more the outcome reflects the wishes of the citizenry. That seems to me to be the paramount consideration. Thus, I think it should be as easy as possible for citizens to vote.

I can't speak to California but in Washington State we have churches that don't have any shelter beds but a lot of people still use that church as an address for their ID and to get mail. It is quite common here. Completely legal. 

One needs some sort of address to get an ID card. Churches, shelters, and other charities are a common option for people who are homeless. 

Any ballots that were postmarked or dropped in an official box before the polls closed should be counted. If they were dropped off or postmarked after the polls closed then they should not be counted. Seems pretty simple to me. 

Every time this stupid babble about KABILLIONS UV FRAWDULENT BALUTTS being cast comes up, I ask, how could or would a ballot be counted that was not cast by a registered voter? I always get deafening silence from our resident MAGA pedo perverts.

Then I ask, why WOULD anyone cast a fraudulent ballot, given that to do so would be to commit multiple felonies? And for what? For what? None of our resident conspiracy theory-addled Trump-lickers has the guts to answer. At most, they just pitch insults, as a feeble way of dodging the question.

In Oregon, people can use shelters as home addresses and in fact, several shelters in Portland and Eugene will receive, sort, and hold people's mail. And Oregon law is that you can prove residency by filling out and signing an affidavit that you spend the majority of your time in the state. You can even get a driver's license/ID card that says "No fixed address" on it, if you don't want to use the address of your mail drop. 

One thing I really like about Oregon is that the various bureaucratic crap is made much easier than in almost any other state. Things like the DMV and various other permits and licenses are so much simpler here.

Lots have been squeezed out; budget shortfalls for one thing.  I'll posit that putting 'voting responsibility' in the curriculum was met with pushback; sensitivities and accusations of favoritism, etc.  Art and music programs have been axed in some cases I've read about.
