It looks like the obvious, isn't so obvious after all, for those (who like with the Floyd tragedy) purposely turn their backs, close their eyes, stick their fingers in their ears and screech....nah-nah-nah-nah. :1rotfl:

I apologize for making it too complicated for some folks...my bad.

Oh the low expectations of soft bigotry.

Are you saying that there is a certain "demographic" that is less capable of requesting a mail-in ballot?

It is the vulnerabilities of mass mailing and ballot harvesting to fraud that is the primary issue.

And as a superhero, shouldn't you be up in Atlanta protecting the rioters and looters from the police?

Given that there has NEVER been proof of any widespread fraud in mail-in voting...your attempted distraction is simply a logical fallacy.

Nice try, but as I've stated many times, I have absolutely ZERO TOLERANCE...for those who commit violence, looting or other crimes.

However, if I could have but one super power, it would be the ability to change the color of certain folks skin and then check back in with them later...to see if they still think the same.

If banks do check signatures, they do a terrible job. I know for a fact that checks have cleared without verification.

I believe what you suggest be done is done in all states, and pretty much has been unquestionably safe and secure.

We all know the reason for this discussion, and we just circumnavigate instead of being honest.

When our government established the commission to look into "millions of illegal immigrants voting" namely in California...that was great. The commission lasted 5 months, and as with every indecpendent, federal, state or local investigation, mail in ballots were found to be much more secure than machines.

In addition, the biggest threat to voting is outside our borders, but we seem to ignore that area,where we have proof of interference and tampering.

Mail in voting is legal in FL. It just requires an application.No reason needed. Not sure why you believe people of color are not as capable as others and as such warrants the need for mass mailing of ballots. But hey, if virtue signaling gives you a sense of purpose in life, I'll leave it be.

As far as elections go, the standard should not be an wait until an election is stolen and can be proven beyond any doubt. Since every vote should be considered sacrosanct, the goal should be not one will be negated by corruption or fraud.

And considering that voter rolls across this country are bloated with the dead, illegals, wrong addresses and folks that have moved on, it should require no explanation that mass mail balloting would significantly increase the chances of illegal voting. Especially if you have paid agents to harvest as many ballots as they can.

The evidence of mail in voter fraud is all over the internet. Making it mandatory for everyone is about as stupid as stupid gets. Unless of course you are looking to throw an election.

If Congress (and the states) would take that issue seriously then we would not be talking about mail-in voting at all.

Talking about voter fraud: what system have we ever had that hasn't been decried for the potential for voter fraud? I'll admit there are elections that have been impacted due to voter fraud over the years but those are very few. In many, but not all, of those cases the votes were coerced yet legally cast.

In this whole debate we've lost sight of the facts which seems to be all too prevalent lately. When we don't have facts to support our position we make stuff up that can't be easily proven/disproven. When we have data but that data doesn't support our position we obfuscate the issue such that data becomes irrelevant and we appeal to emotions to supersede logic.

Those that have the legal right to vote should be allowed to vote by any means available. We should not be making it hard for anyone to vote as a means to influence elections. What we should be focusing on is using the vast array of technology available to us to ensure those who vote are entitled to vote and that their vote is in fact theirs. The reason we are not doing this is it removes an excuse for the losing side to obfuscate the facts and create uncertainty. This has not changed since the earliest days of elections in this great country. Bad actors have been trying to influence the will of the people through nefarious means since day one.

The simple fact that we are debating mail-in voting says the politicians have succeeded in planting seeds of doubt in the process without ever producing one single piece of data to prove that mail-in voting is the issue.


mtdjed 05-30-2020 10:29 PM

A lot of discussion here not related to Mass Mailing of Ballots which was my original intent. Absentee voting OK fine but please don't send unsolicited to all registered voters. Have a plan to get to currently registered voters.

Responses stating that there has never been any illicit voting through mail in votes are not true. Suggesting that bringing up the topic is supporting an attempt to limit voter participation is wrong. I just want my legitimate vote to count without having it negated by a ballot that was sent a dead person that got intercepted by someone at that address and used illegally. Nothing to do with voter suppression. If your voter mass mailing does not address that issue , it is not protecting legitimate votes.

But , from the responses I have seen, many don't seem to be concerned. They seem to think that is suggesting that voting polling places should be limited to 2 or 3 per hundreds of thousands of people. (not substantiated)

ColdNoMore 05-30-2020 10:33 PM

The notices mailed out, simply told people that they had the right to vote by mail...it wasn't a ballot. :oops:

Just like the Founding Fathers, I'm much more worried of foreign powers...interfering and screwing with our elections.

Since nothing official has been mentioned on fighting that in a long time...I can't help but wonder what steps are being taken to stop it?

llmcdaniel 05-30-2020 11:05 PM

Oregon has used strictly vote by mail for 20 years. When one first registers, a signature and picture ID are required. When people marry, die, change addresses, etc. this info is forwarded to the Elections Dept of that county. When my mother died, we notified the Elections Dept with a Death Certificate so that her name was removed. The funeral home provided us with a paper of all the organizations that needed notification, and the Election Dept was on that list. We were told, also, that death notices in the local paper were used for info, too. We always appreciated being able to comfortably sit at home, study our voter’s pamphlet, and vote. Then, we signed the secret envelope, our signature was compared with the original, and we were through. It was easy to see that no one else had voted using our name, AND we had oaper back ups to help prevent fraud. None of this hanging chad crap!!

Lindsyburnsy 05-31-2020 07:22 AM

"Lots of people" "many people are saying" "I hear from everyone" Who are all of these "people" that want non-citizens to vote? This is all BS. Rumor and scare tactics. Voting by mail is the way to go.

Most of the news we see these days are from the internet. The sources I cited were extremely credible which is why you try to dismiss it with a lame attempt at humor. People read your posts on the internet. Does that mean your opinions have no credibility?

You had to respond in this fashion because you could not refute or debunk any story I listed as they were credible and non partisan websites.

But here is another one that just happened recently. You are going to have to use the internet to read it. It is ironclad proof of how elections can be corrupted with mail in ballots. And the aggrieved are overwhelmingly in the class of people that you claim to be the guardian over.

NJ NAACP Leader Calls For Paterson Mail-In Vote to Be Canceled Amid Corruption Claims – NBC New York

Paterson activist Ernest Rucker said his experience this election is an example of the kind of corruption that allegedly took place. Rucker said he never received a ballot but that election records show someone mailed in a ballot in his name.

In addition to apparent problems with the vote count in Paterson, NBC New York has shown video of ballots left out in building lobbies, of one voter handling many ballots, and reported on postal workers reporting finding hundreds of ballots at a time stuffed in mailboxes in Paterson – and even in a neighboring town, Haledon.

Wimberly said he is a supporter of Gov. Murphy but given the history of vote-by-mail controversies, the governor should have done more to allow in-person voting and to ensure safeguards were in place for those ballots sent by mail. That one in five ballots were eliminated, some due to alleged corruption, Wimberly said he was "fed up with this … That’s how you disenfranchise voters. That’s the bottom line.

“It is what is right for the people,” Wimberly said. “We need in-person voting machines with social distancing.


If you desire vote by mail elections free of fraud and incompetence, the solution is simple. Since signature verification is very unreliable everyone sets up a pin or password that has to be on the ballot. And it needs to be verified by at least two monitors from different political parties before the ballot it is counted. And then voters can go online and see if their vote was counted or invalidated. We have the technology to do this. And outlaw ballot harvesting with only immediate relatives or legal guardians able to assist in voting.

I would support this as it would be much cheaper and eliminate the need for recruiting volunteers for the polls.

ithos 05-31-2020 08:30 AM

Paterson NJ election included ballots from out-of-towners and the dead

Just more proof that Signature Verifications are a lousy way to validate ballots.

The most common reason for the votes’ disqualification was that election officials decided the signatures on the ballots didn’t match those on file in voter registration records. The report listed 1,214 rejections because of ballot signatures, which accounted for 37 percent of all those that were disqualified.

I give them credit. They stopped the dead people from voting.

Ballots are sent to every military personel in the US and abroad. No standing in line, no babysitter needed, no chance of being exposed to coronavirus. Those ballots are as safe as our Social Security checks, tax checks, personal checks, look at all the years we have paid bills by checks through the mail. We receive pay checks through the mail, transactions are carried on through the mail. Not safe? Baloney! A Democratic method of getting more votes? Double baloney!

There is evidence that demonstrates there is not a partisan advantage of voting by mail. While the availability of vote-by-mail ballots increases voter turnout by 1.9 to 2.4 percentage points, the voting method does not increase the share of turnout for either Democrats or Republicans, according to researchers.

A study by Stanford University’s Democracy and Polarization Lab compared counties with vote-by-mail programs to those without in the same state. The authors concluded that vote-by-mail programs have "no discernible effect on party vote shares or the partisan share of the electorate.”

Five states have all-mail elections: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. According to Ballotpedia, 29 states and DC allow voters to cast an absentee ballot for any reason, while 16 states require a valid excuse for requesting to mail in a ballot.

During the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, concerns about the safety of in-person polling places have been raised for the 2020 federal election in November, as well as for summer primary elections. At least 40 people who voted at the Milwaukee polls in Wisconsin's Apr. 7, 2020 primary election have tested positive for coronavirus, raising concerns that voters were forced to put their health at risk to participate in the election.

On Apr. 24, 2020, the governors of New York and Kentucky signed executive orders requiring that every resident be sent an application for vote-by-mail ballots for the states’ summer elections.

Your post are exactly the words that the bobbing heads on CNN are saying and we ALL now their intentions...
If you can make trips to play your card games at a rec center you differently should be able to make just one more to cast a vote....
How many here are getting the virus from going to the supermarket, playing golf or any other social distancing activities. So why can't you or they social distance waiting on line to vote?

This shouldn’t have become a political difference issue, the only fact I see and question was , why if 57.2million voted early in last presidential election why it wrong for early ballots to be sent out know especially with the possibility of the virus coming back . . Now that I think of it maybe I’m wrong about the political issue with this considering that black and brown communities were hit the worst outside of nursing homes

I didn't have to show ID or sign anything to match signatures, or give them my birthdate or anything else to indicate that I really was who I said I was.

And therein lies the problem. You should have been asked and should have been verified. Under that scenario, any other person of the same sex could walk in, give your name and address, and steal your vote. Not saying it WOULD happen, but it COULD happen. And that is why this whole issue needs to be carefully thought out. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Why would you say it should not be a political issue when the voting involves two different political parties... :confused:
Their are reasons why the Black, Brown and Elderly communities were hit the hardest with the Corona Virus...

So who going to check when: The millions of “Mail in Votes” that will be dump just before closing time to be signature checked and verified, ... No-One!

I am sure voter fraud is done on both sides but it seems the Democrats are always the ones that have the shadow of fraud on their actions, I guess we have crooked Hillary the fiasco that happens at every election in Miami/ Dade and the Obama scandals to blame. Or maybe it is Democrats only trying to steal elections.

It was bipartisan and yet, was disbanded because absolutely NO evidence of widespread voter fraud...was found.

The abandonment, in embarrassing disgrace of this lie, is analogous to a line in a famous poem that goes..."Not with a bang, but a whimper."

Seems when we read online what matches our bias we deem it credible....when it doesn't it's nothing but misinformation. That's why we will never get back to one Country. As I remember, to sign up for a mail in ballot I had to physically show up, present a valid ID and fill out a form. One time visit. How hard is that?

collie1228 06-01-2020 11:28 AM

I don't like the idea of voting by mail, as voting in-person is good for a citizen's soul. I can live with voting by mail, but only in places where "ballot harvesting" is not legal. Do you want political operatives canvassing your neighborhood for mail-in ballots to collect and deposit with the voting authorities? I don't. If you can't see that such a system is ripe for fraud and abuse, I don't think you are seeing straight. Voting by mail should be just that - by mail.

Marvic 1 06-01-2020 04:54 PM

OH SNAP! :boom:
:1rotfl:

Widespread is a red herring and you know it. Corruption was not "wide spread" when the election was stolen from Nixon in Texas and Chicago. If the election is close it doesn't have to be widespread. But it damn sure was in Michigan.

Overall, state records show 10.6 percent of the precincts in the 22 counties that began the retabulation process couldn’t be recounted because of state law that bars recounts for unbalanced precincts or ones with broken seals.
The problems were the worst in Detroit, where discrepancies meant officials couldn’t recount votes in 392 precincts, or nearly 60 percent. And two-thirds of those precincts had too many votes.
“There’s always going to be small problems to some degree, but we didn’t expect the degree of problem we saw in Detroit. This isn’t normal,” said Krista Haroutunian, chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers.


And don't you remember the fiasco in Broward where the late count magically found thousands of more votes for the Democrats? It was impossible to due accurate forensics in that county.

And a couple of Democrats agree that when it comes to voting, where there is way to cheat, then there is a will.

Flashback! Jerry Nadler in 2004: “Paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud - YouTube
Debbie Wasserman Schultz says Mail in ballots have wrong written all over it. - YouTube

If you have don't have an iron clad system that can reconstruct the vote accurately then these controversies will keep on happening. And if you nationalize mass mailing of ballots , what happened in Paterson NJ, will be replicated many times over.

But can't we at least agree that there has to be a better way to validate mail in ballots than signature verification? As stated before, I could support large scale mail in voting if the proper safeguards were in place.
