US Election 2020

Ladies and gentleman, I wish to announce that Al Gore has just won Florida

Mail in ballots worked well in Saskatchewan and BC recently. No one here questions them.

Trump wants them not counted because they will favour Biden.

Trump will try to stop them from being counted in the supreme court if he can get away with it. He has been pushing the idea that mail in ballots are not reliable for months with no evidence.

If he is successful in the supreme court which is looking even more political and less independent now, it will make the good ole USA look more like a banana republic.

David Frum, Bush's former speech writer explains many Republican states effectively carve up the state electoral map in a way to make sure Republicans win at the state level even with a significantly lower popular vote. They then use their ill gained power to make sure its hard for many voters to register and vote. Its blatant voter suppression aimed at mostly democratic voters.

I was thinking about this in relation to Canada when BC and Saskatchewan were having elections. What is to stop me from mailing in a ballot and then voting in person as well. Would it be difficult to cross reference when I vote in person if I had already mailed in a ballot? If I was found to have voted twice would both votes be disallowed? When I vote at my local polling station it looks like all they do is cross my name off in a book. I doubt my mail in ballot goes to the same place, usually the local town hall is where I vote or the curling rink. Just early morning musings.

Hahaha ya you know after all those years I finally got the truth he did actually win it. The republicans used the court to delay the count and it was a technicality that Florida has a deadline for those ballets to be counted. Bush was actually illigitimate president. All those wars etc.
I thought all along it was just about the hanging chads it actually wasn’t it was about the delay

When were the mail in votes done ? Were they all done pre Election Day ?

Oh dear, I forgot about the second biggest sore loser ever. Jazz. He’ll also be unbearable if Biden wins 🤦*♀️

The worst part about an election this close is that one half of the population is going to feel robbed or unheard or denied and there will be lots of anger. One. Half. Not a smaller third or quarter. Half of that entire country is going to feel their rights have been infringed.

The scary part is, as similar as the situation is to 2016, that was dems losing. If it swaps around this time I wonder how much violence will happen. Red voters being more vocally supportive of violence, lending credit to the idea they may be more willing to actually be violent.

Say in a care home a staff member orders ballots for 232 or 501 residents but residents never see said ballots but they are all returned. See the problem with mail-in ballots? In a close election those votes could raise suspicion, legitimately.

I would hope a request for a mail in ballot has a deadline
I would hope it would have to have a postmarked deadline.
I would hope if a mail in ballot was issued in your name the voter's list at your usual polling station would indicate such.
I would hope......

The world is the loser, you wont hear a peep from me about Biden. If the US actually voted for self annihilation via marxism then we are all doomed.

We have our own dictator to dislodge now of thats even possible.

You shouldnt be so smug. Did you watch macdons great reset video. Lets just say cattle ranchers aint part of the new deal.

So the US election is down to the margin of fraud as I feared. This is why mail in voting was so controversial and we will never know how many Biden voters voted twice. Everybody knew this was going to happen and they (the Dem's) didn't try to keep it a secret. Sad day if the last bastion of the free world falls to communism this way. Here in canuckistan the situation is hopeless. We are beaten.

The voting twice gambit doesn't really offer an advantage to any candidate. What's to prevent Trump supporters from voting twice? Nothing, if it's actually possible to get away with it. This would tend to offset all the Biden supporters who allegedly voted twice. It would seem odd that only Biden supporters would think of doing this.
