    The only interest Republicans have in election security is in securing elections for themselves. The Democrats' attempt to stop Republicans from making it harder for certain groups of eligible citizens to exercise their civil right to vote is not an attack on Democracy; it's a defense of it.

    As far as executive orders go, your statement would probably carry more
    weight if Trump had not used them extensively to accomplish things that
    did not pass Congress. As it is, your outrage is clearly hypocritical.

    They curbed the momentum of voter fraud by rejecting a liberal voting bill
    that would have flushed Republicans from the face of the earth.

    Interesting, I can notice a similar procedure in the former states of the Eastern Bloc, which have meanwhile joined the EU. The intention of the regimes there (also democratically elected) is similar. Only there it is not about blacks but about minorities such as gypsies or other ethnic minorities. Not directly comparable with the situation in the USA, but comparable political motivation. The white man must have the upper hand from their point of view.

    Interestingly, even there it is groups of people with little education who are manipulated in such a way that they vote for these regimes. With simple slogans.

    They complained some when Gore, then HRC, lost by the rules that they knew about going in. Fun Fact -- at one point before the election, HRC even made mention of the electoral college and how it would help her win the election even if the popular vote went Trump's way. So, the EC was not a terrible
    thing until the opposite came true.

    I don't need to be told that. I can see that. If you are not working, not paying taxes, and are getting anything from the government, you are pretty

    I believe that there are 3 groups of people on the Left:
    1. The Power Hungry. Pelosi, Bernie, Soros, etc. They don't have any real idology. They are just looking to have the power to control everything/everyone.
    2. The Anointed Ones. Many of these people are in academia, but they are in all walks of life. These are primarily useless people who want to believe that they are important and are jealous of the success of the people who are competant. They are naive enough to think that the Power Hungry will share some of that power with them.
    3. The Lazy and Stupid. We all know these. They are best qualified to be carbon dioxide generators for plants or Soilent Green.

    Obtaining a photo ID does not have to be detrimental, the process could be streamlined weeks before the election or even on the spot at the polling place with Polaroid camera which has existed since 1948, along with the use of a laminate machine they could get a voter ID card w/ photo ID along with other verifiable information such a social security card, or another piece of documentation such as a birth certificate or a bank card, even a library card if the library keeps records of name and address that could verify their identity.

    The motive here is to prove U.S. citizenship, and stop fraud within a
    election.

    The Voter ID card could even have a bar code within, just as ALL products
    do at the supermarket or at your local Wal*Mart.

    Voting systems could be enhanced to touch screens, such an interface could be even put onto a Apple Ipad for those who are handicapped or in a wheel chair
    or those can not stand for the time that it takes to vote or waiting in line.

    These ideas could be enhanced w/ further thought.
    At least its a start from a thinker who wants fare elections.

    Ex-felons are not universally prohibited from voting; policies vary from
    state to state. For example, New York allows ex-felons who have completed
    their sentences or are on parole to vote, while Mississippi maintains a list
    of 22 crimes for which one loses the right to vote. Nebraska requires a two-year waiting period after a felon's sentence has been completed before their voting rights are restored. In Virginia, felons are permanently disenfranchised, while in D.C., Maine, and Vermont, felons are allowed to
    vote even while incarcerated.

    I didn't know that. Please tell me why those folks who live in states
    that require Voter ID cards love the idea of not being able to vote due
    to lack of having a Voter ID card.

    There has been the idea or notion that it would be detrimental to those who

    Laziness. You are blaming african-americans in particular as being
    too damn lazy to get a Voter ID card in order to vote. Even though it
    was never necessary for them to do so when they registered to vote.

    What racist nonsense.

    Hello Aaron,

    We all know a convicted felon or two.

    Ever visited any? I have. Angola State Penitentiary. In the middle
    of the swamp. Many ways to get there. And one way to get out. For the residents, that is.

    Most of the residents inside a maximum security prison such as
    Angola will never see the light of day, the only way for them to
    leave being inside a pine box.

    The entire criminal justice system needs to be reformed. Not just
    the scant little bit the Trump admministration did, which never even
    amounted to a hill of beans.

    Your not thinking this through Jeff. It would be within the process of validating or the verification of the provided documentation to prove that the one providing the documentation is in-fact legit, or that they are who they have suggested that they are.

    This process could be overseen by both political parties.

    Which reminds me why were the people who represent the Republican Party not allowed admittance to watch over the process and in some cases the blocking
    out of windows so one could see what really was going on within the room. Sounds very sketchy to me. Nothing to see here. rrrrrright?

    of your Polaroid photo IDs, why isn't it sufficient to vote?

    This process could be overseen by both political parties.

    Or by poll watchers.

    Which reminds me why were the people who represent the Republican Party not allowed admittance to watch over the process and in some cases the blocking out of windows so one could see what really was going on within the room. Sounds very sketchy to me. Nothing to see here. rrrrrright?

    Because they weren't authorized. You can't just show up and demand admittance to the areas where votes are being counted. It would result in chaos and
    would be a distraction to people trying to do their jobs. Some people were authorized to witness the counting, and they were admitted.

    Trump's lies about election fraud are just that: lies. Mitch McConnell says
    so. Bill Barr says so. The Michigan GOP says so. The Georgia governor said
    so. Many, many people say so. No proof has been presented. I sense that you think that blacked-out windows represent a missed opportunity to acquire
    proof of wrongdoing. But if you already have proof of wrongdoing, why does
    that matter? Is your proof not sufficient?

    Republicans like to say that Democrats play the victim, but Trump is the biggest, saddest, poutiest, most pitiful victim player I've ever seen. He
    takes the cake.

    I don't need to be told that. I can see that. If you are not working, not paying taxes, and are getting anything from the government, you are pretty much getting it for nothing.

    You need to be told to resent it, though. You need to be told to make it a reason to vote against a social safety net.

    I don't even mind safety nets, especially for those of us who are (or whose employer's are) paying into the program while we work. I don't have to be
    told to resent moochers... maybe as a kid I was told stories like the ant
    and the grasshopper enough that I was "told" to then, but I don't need a politician to remind me now why it is a bad idea to do things like
    continuing to pay people not to work. There are too many people who will
    take advantage of such situations when you remove all incentive for them to
    do things for themselves.

    There is also the group of people here with little education who are manipulated in such a way that they vote for the regimes that promise them free stuff.

    I believe that there are 3 groups of people on the Left:
    1. The Power Hungry. Pelosi, Bernie, Soros, etc. They don't have any real idology. They are just looking to have the power to control everything/everyone.
    2. The Anointed Ones. Many of these people are in academia, but they are in all walks of life. These are primarily useless people who want to believe tha
    they are important and are jealous of the success of the people who are competant. They are naive enough to think that the Power Hungry will share som
    of that power with them.
    3. The Lazy and Stupid. We all know these. They are best qualified to be carbon dioxide generators for plants or Soilent Green.

    I cannot argue with that. although I do still believe that some/many in
    group #3 will actually think and do for themselves when given the incentive
    to. If you give them the incentive to do nothing, that is what they will
    do.

    They complained some when Gore, then HRC, lost by the rules that they knew about going in. Fun Fact -- at one point before the election, HRC even made mention of the electoral college and how it would help her win the election even if the popular vote went Trump's way. So, the EC was not a terrible thing until the opposite came true.

    You've been paying attention for a longer period of time than me. Have they ever tried anything like this "For The People" crap before?

    Not to this extent, to my recollection.

    We all know a convicted felon or two. I don't ever remember the ones I know to
    have complained about not being able to vote. I wonder if those requests are on display somewhere? It's great when elected officials do things that the people ask for, but I don't think anyone's asking for these changes.

    I have known of one that did complain about a lot. I am positive there are convicted felons out there who are innocent and deserve to have their cases re-evaluated and their full rights restored. I am also certain that the
    one I know who complained was very much guilty of what they were convicted
    of and, since it involved deception, I 100% believe they should not be
    allowed anywhere near a polling place (or a bank, or a piggy bank, or...).

    IMHO, the ones who are guilty and accept that they are guilty usually don't complain. The ones who think it is someone else's fault that they comitted
    a felony and/or got caught are the ones who will complain.

    There has been the idea or notion that it would be detrimental to those who are african-americans, but why?

    There are also African-Americans who believe that saying they are not
    capable of obtaining an ID is detrimental and possibly racists, but you
    know they are probably crazy right-wingers or something so I guess it is
    ok to ignore how they feel.

    It would be detremental to those without photo ID, obviously. Not everyone has one, an obtaining one can be a burden to exercising one's right to vote.

    UNTIL they started this "universal" ID (or whatever it is called) and many
    of our local county clerks offices proved incappable, or unwilling, to
    learn how to issue them, getting a photo ID in most Kentucky counties was
    as easy as registering to, or going to, vote.

    Even with these new IDs, if you cannot figure out where to go and how to
    follow the simple directions to be ready to get one, I seriously question
    your ability to follow the directions to cast our (also simple) ballots.

    That's irrelevant. Poll watchers are authorized to watch polls, not to

    He hasn't beat anything. He's not in the first round of subpoenas, but the implications to Trump from those who *are* in the subpoenas could be significant, which is why he's so upset about it. Among other things, if the Trump Org is convicted of a felony they cannot hold any liquor licenses,
    which is really bad news for Trump's golf clubs.

    New York and the federal government are far from through with Trump, though.

    Joe's accepting undocumented immigrants at a rate that will have 6 million of them here by 2024. He said he's going to put them on a pathway to citizenship, so I guess you're right; non-citizenship won't be an issue.

    Wss Obama's election win an attack on Democracy? Or Clinton? Those gu weren't complaining. There was nothing to complain about until Biden almost lost.

    It's not that Biden won; it's that Trump lost. Republicans now want to change the rules to make sure that doesn't happen again. It's the only

    Mr. Trump has already a beat a rap from the southern district of New York, the lefty media was so convinced that he was going to be behind bars, these goons from CNN even showed us mock representations what Mr. Trump would of looked like behind bars with a orange jump suit. It has been reported via Hannity
    that it is not happening and the these fools at CNN are a total disgrace.

    He hasn't beat anything. He's not in the first round of subpoenas, but
    the implications to Trump from those who *are* in the subpoenas could be significant, which is why he's so upset about it. Among other things, if the Trump Org is convicted of a felony they cannot hold any liquor licenses, which is really bad news for Trump's golf clubs.

    On 29 Jun 2021, Gregory Deyss said the following...
    Such as? And if the library card was Acceptable and Compliant enough be used to get a photo ID, why isn't it Acceptable and Compliant enou to be used to vote? Why add the extra step? Why make people jump thro meaningless hoops just to vote?
    Before the photo is taken, validation of all provided documentation will be checked and verified for following:
    First and Last name
    Residential Address
    Social Security Number
    All of this SAME information is utilized today, but the problem is of course with the ease of providing falsified or fraudulent information, hence the need for such Photo Voter ID.

    If fraudulent information could be provided for voting, couldn't it just as easily be provided for this photo ID?

    All the photo ID says in this instance is that the person on the ID was once
    in possession of a library card with some address on it.

    If non-photo ID is sufficient to gain a photo ID in order to vote, why isn't
    it sufficient just to vote? Why the middle step? What security does it add?

    Previously there has proof of "the insanely old" who have voted in the 2020 election people that actually that have been long since dead.

    No, there hasn't. Those lies have been debunked.

    Addresses have been determined to be vacant for years.

    In a few cases, but not many. And possession of a library card counters this how?

    As other well as other funny business going on with Republican overseers and or election officials not being allowed to oversee the vote, they
    were locked out and in addition everything from newspaper to poster
    board has been used to block out windows. This is the United States of America not some Banana Republic where those tactics are used.

    Authorized people were not locked out. Unauthorized people were. It's in the best interest of the election that the counting of the ballots not devolve
    into a circus.

    Here is a phrase from the past
    "Phony baloney plastic banana good time rock n rollers."
    which means tired of corruption winning....

    But you voted for Trump... Corruption incarnate.

    Dead people voting

    Debunked.

    Vacant or Abandoned Homes

    Debunked.

    Are you really certain that you want your Social Security Number printed on your library card? It's not printed on your Driver's License, is it?

    Perhaps you should think deeper, once the photo is taken it will be scanned and stored into a county database, each political party could receive this database to ensure accuracy and fairness of the this
    database for each county, the master files of all counties once compiled could be kept secure at the statehouse of each state or kept with the
    top election officials in that state and for both parties.
    The Federal authorities would also receive these files from all 50
    states.

    To what end? How does the fact that a person who once had a library card and once got their picture associated with that card improve election integrity?

    That's irrelevant. Poll watchers are authorized to watch polls, not t monitor the vote counting process. It doesn't matter if their identit could be verified; all that would do would be to verify that they're authorized to be in the room while the votes are being counted.

    Hello Jeff,

    I never thought it was lucrative, either. When I got laid off, you
    had a
    limit of 6 months. That was c1996. Now I am not sure there is a
    limit.

    In Texas there is a per-instance limit and also a 5-year lifetime limit. One
    can't collect more than 5 years' worth of unemployment benefits in their lifetime.

    No wonder Louisiana (and other states) have so many immigrants from
    Texas ...

    Hello Mike,

    Maybe the fact that unemployment insurance (at least here in Texas)
    doesn't
    even cover the rent/mortgage would be incentive enough to find a job? I've
    been on it before. Job searches are required and verified. Any refusal of
    a
    reasonable job offer will result in termination of benefits. And yeah, the
    worst part was coming off of it. I got a job offer in Mid-April, and
    accepted
    it. However, I wasn't scheduled to start until May 1, and the job was on a
    monthly pay schedule meaning I wouldn't get paid until June 1. Despite
    haveing a job offer and even being employed, those were a horrible six
    weeks.
    Fortunately I was able to catch up on rent and over time got back on my
    feet,
    but continuing indefinitely on unemployment insurance was definitely not a
    lucrative option.

    I never thought it was lucrative, either. When I got laid off, you had a limit of 6 months. That was c1996. Now I am not sure there is a limit.

    Guaranteed National Income should be a right, not a privilege.

    Allowing incarcerated felons to vote would seem to be supported by a minority in the northeast. But that's not what the original discussion was about, was it? No, it was about ex-felons, those who have completed their sentence.

    Allowing ex-felons to vote seems to be fairly popular, except in areas of the Old South. Kinda makes sense, when the judicial system is used to remove the rights of a certain class of people that tend to get charged with (but not necessarily commit) felonies more than other classes. Plea deals do more than just secure lighter sentences.

    ex. A small town library vs. one found within a large city.
    A small town may not require the usage of the SSN / where large one
    within a larger city could utilize the SSN
    That's very interesting when one considers that small towns tend to be rural and rural voters tend to vote Republican, while larger cities are by
    definition urban and urban voter tend to vote Democrat.

    Why do you have this double standard? Why are the ID requirements relaxed for voters who tend to vote Republican?

    It's not that Biden won; it's that Trump lost. Republicans now want to change the rules to make sure that doesn't happen again. It's the only way they can win.

    But this is a Democrat sponsored bill. It's fine that Trump lost. But it's obvious who's afraid of not being able to win.

    On the national level, you are right. It is not the Republicans that want
    to change any rules. Factoring in the electoral college, smart Democrats realize that they really only beat Trump (a President they believe was the
    most horrible ever) by only ~40K votes. That, and the fact that he was
    able to be elected to begin with, scares them.

    Four+ years ago, it was also not the Republicans that wanted to change, at the STATE levels, how electoral college votes were cast or counted.

    Claiming that it is only Republican losers that want to change the rules in their favor is a dog that does not hunt, or do much of anything else.

    If fraudulent information could be provided for voting, couldn't it just as easily be provided for this photo ID?

    Do you read at all what I have clearly indicated, or just skim it.
    or still trying to prove your case that this proposed idea is a complete waste of time and or still proclaiming "that these are not the droids that you're looking for." Anyway, Before taking the photo for the Voter ID Photo all documentation will be provided, pay special close attention, now when this documentation is provided the 3 items that will need to be confirmed and checked; as in validation would be as follows:
    1) First and Last Name
    2) Residential Address
    3) SSN
    If any of *three* can not be verified, then other documentation will need to
    be provided until those three elements are confirmed as well as validated.
    It goes without saying so the Residential Address will need to be the Current Residential Address, I would that would be kind of obvious, but you your picking this apart, so I need to go to almost extremes with additional explanation, again that should obvious and abundantly clear.

    All the photo ID says in this instance is that the person on the ID was once in possession of a library card with some address on it.
    If non-photo ID is sufficient to gain a photo ID in order to vote, why isn't it sufficient just to vote? Why the middle step? What security
    does it add?

    This process would analyze the documentation originally being provided before this Voter Photo ID concept was just an idea.
    It will do several things.
    1. confirm and show that the paperwork or documentation required at the time
    to vote is either legit and fraudulent.
    2. Vote could be cast by the barcode on the the Voter Photo ID, making the process more secure and stop those running the same barcode through the
    reader four or more times. Any such attempt greater then once to scan a Voter Photo ID card will be instantly recorded and denied of course. Additionally just as added measure the operators ID will be captured, furthermore an email will be created and sent to all officials on all sides.
    3. Reduce the amount hands involved in the process.
    4. Greater speed and enhanced accuracy, not to mention extreme efficiency.

    Previously there has proof of "the insanely old" who have voted in the 2020 election people that actually that have been long since dead.

    relaxed for voters who tend to vote Republican?

    No there will be no double standard and I am not trying to give or to provide anything more to those who reside within rural areas.

    I am suggesting that rural area may not require a SSN within their smaller community, if that is the case then such an individual would NOT be able to utilize the library card, hence they would to provide an alternate documentation or paper that shows and can validated of the 3 elements that

    1. First and Last Name
    2. Residential Address (current address)
    3. SSN

    These guys do not really sound like legitimate reporters. It is hard to
    see what actual proof they are giving in between all of their hype that
    sounds like talk radio.

    In this segment they talked about being entertainment, which does not
    actually help credibility as being responsible reporters.

    Your rational here would be eliminated, in lew of a superior process, where Poll watchers will have the ability to act, it is very dangerous
    to liberty itself for you to indicate otherwise.

    Fact: poll watchers are for watching the voting process at the polls.
    That does not imply that those same people are certified to monitor the counting of the votes. That certification is for a separate group of
    people. In both cases, there is a balance between Democrats and
    Republicans -- each of whom verifies that things are done properly.


    Mr. Trump has already a beat a rap from the southern district of New

    What and when was that? I have not heard that he has been charged with anything -- YET. OTOH, his company and his CFO have been charged.

    Hello Greg,

    ex. A small town library vs. one found within a large city.
    A small town may not require the usage of the SSN / where large
    one
    within a larger city could utilize the SSN
    That's very interesting when one considers that small towns tend to
    be
    rural and rural voters tend to vote Republican, while larger cities
    are
    by definition urban and urban voter tend to vote Democrat.

    An Interesting thought...
    Who do folks who reside in large cities vote Democrat?

    Because the majority of the population resides in large cities.

    What have they gotten in return, over the years.

    Everything they wanted.

    I can tell you how African-Americans have prospered under Donald J. Trump.

    A small number of them did. Such as Ben Carson. But other than that ...

    <propaganda deleted>

    Why do you have this double standard? Why are the ID requirements
    relaxed for voters who tend to vote Republican?

    No there will be no double standard

    A libary card is not valid Voter ID in the state of Louisiana.

    Hello Jeff,

    need to be confirmed and checked; as in validation would be as
    follows:
    1) First and Last Name
    2) Residential Address
    3) SSN

    How do you suggest validating these for the purposes of issuing a photo ID?
    If I somehow came into possession of your wallet, which contained your library card, which contained your full name, address, and SSN, how would someone with a Polaroid verify that the person they're taking a picture of is
    the person described on the library card?

    My library card contains only a number. Not a photo of any kind.
    Not a name of any kind. Not an address of any kind. Not a SSN of
    me or anybody else.

    Derivative IDs are no more secure than the IDs from which they were derived.

    Oh, I did have to show some evidence that I have a valid Louisiana
    address in order to get a library card ...

    Same here, but that library card isn't any more secure than the information
    it was issued based upon (although it could be less secure).

    was about, was it? No, it was about ex-felons, those who have completed their sentence.

    That won't stop a person with someone else's valid paperwork from getting a photo ID in that person's name. You can verify an address against a name against an SSN all you want, but that's not going to prove that the person standing in front of you is the person who owns that identity. My daughter
    got a drivers license a few years ago and after passing the test, she went in with several forms of ID and proof of residence (none of which was a photo
    ID) and was mailed a photo ID a couple weeks later. Her only proof that she
    was who she said she was, was that she was in possession of certain
    documents. Anyone in possession of the right combination of documents (say, a library card with her name, address, and SSN printed on it) could get a photo ID as her. You can validate all day long and all it's going to prove is that the documents go together. It won't prove anything about the person standing
    in front of you.

    Only two states in this country allow all citizens their right
    to vote. Which means that nobody else in this country truly has
    the right to vote.

    I still don't trust a Democrat sponsored bill though.

    Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat.

    They need to leave states alone be happy with everything they already stole.

    48 states have stolen the peoples right to vote. And you are fine
    with that. I'm not. But you are. Please tell me why. For I can find
    no good reason as to why anybody should want to deny any person of
    their right to vote.

    Everyone can vote in Vermont and Maine. So what's the problem
    with other states allowing those who are, or have been, incarcerated
    to vote?

    It's more accurate to say that Nevada stole people's voting rights by accepting ballots 10 days after election day.

    Can you give their reason for doing that? E.g. were those ballots
    postmarked on or before election day but delayed by the USPS system?

    Hello Aaron,

    48 states have stolen the peoples right to vote. And you are fine
    with that. I'm not. But you are. Please tell me why. For I can find
    no good reason as to why anybody should want to deny any person of
    their right to vote.

    That's fly by night propaganda.

    It's more accurate to say that Nevada stole people's voting rights by accepting ballots 10 days after election day.

    Keep crying. Just like your morbidly obese crybaby Donald Trump, whose
    wild claims of "massive voter fraud" were soundly rejected by the
    courts. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden, the only elected President
    we have, will continue working on behalf of the American people to
    give them what they want and have always wanted - competent leadership
    we can all believe in.

    The actual reason is because the Soros community needed to defeat Trump any
    way they could. This was the first election that I witnessed in my lifetime where the outcome was able to be manipulated for 10 days past election day.

    Maybe the USPS is to blame for the nightmare. I'm not saying Trump won or anything, but all the variables that came into play made Trump's defeat extra aggrivating for conservatives. Next election, we want to know who the winner
    is at least by the day after election day, without all the extra last minute Democrat efforts. It just ain't fair to the voters. Elections should be one of the easiest things to organize but there this last one lacked integrity.

    The actual reason is because the Soros community needed to defeat Trump any way they could. This was the first election that I witnessed in my lifetime where the outcome was able to be manipulated for 10 days past election day.

    The only manipulations came from Trump who said on election night or the next day "frankly, we did win this election" when it was clear he did not.

    Those kinds of lies continue, even today.

    Maybe the USPS is to blame for the nightmare. I'm not saying Trump won or anything, but all the variables that came into play made Trump's defeat extra aggrivating for conservatives.

    What variables? If republicans or democrats want to win the election then put forward a candidate the people can support. Republicans are not going to win an election with the base alone, they need the support of a majority of the people. Donald Trump never had that but Joe Biden did, and does.

    Donald Trump is simply unsupportable.

    Next election, we want to know who the winner is at least by the day after election day, without all the extra last minute Democrat efforts. It just ain't fair to the voters. Elections should be one of the easiest things to organize but there this last one lacked integrity.

    It was the large number of mail in votes that took longer to count. Something everyone knew was going to be the case. There was nothing irregular about the 2020 election aside from Donald Trump and his continuing lies, and those who support those lies.

    Actually what happened is a combination of factors.

    First, because of COVID, many people did not want to expose themselves
    by going to a polling place where proper safety procautions were
    observed. Second, Trump down played using mail in ballots so much that
    many of his supporters did not use them, voting in person instead.

    Second, OTOH, many of those who did not support or believe Trump, voted
    in the more safe procedures of mail in ballots or drop boxes.

    That is the reason that Trump led in the early tally which counted the
    in person votes, only to be overcome by the later tally that counted all
    of the remaining votes.

    In the end, all votes were counted and Trump lost.

    know who the winner is at least by the day after election day, without
    all the extra last minute Democrat efforts.

    There were no last minute Democratic efforts. The last minute
    Democratic leaning votes were cast well before, but counted at the last
    minute.

    It just ain't fair to the voters.

    What is not fair is to deny voters the right and ability to vote.

    Elections should be one of the easiest things to organize but
    there this last one lacked integrity.

    Election tallies have never been easy. And there has been no credible
    evidence that this one lacked integrity.

    never was man enough to concede the election, Biden still won by

    Which is why Joe Biden was sworn in by the Chief Justice of the

    Nothing new about counting all valid votes cast at all.
    We do it all the time. Every election. Of course, GWB had

    thrown out in favor of one vote taken by nine justices
    of the USSC, who voted him into office by one vote, 5-4.

    Even though Trump cried like a baby, and is still
    crying about it.

    Maybe if we don't get enough red votes in Florida this year, we'll delay results there to even the score.

    The election did occur on election day, Nov 3, 2020. Donald Trump and the republican party continues their war on democracy even today.

    We should count the ballots until all legitimate ballots are counted.
    That is the way it should be.

    But how long should that take? I guess stuff can delay it but why never before until the TDS era? It's ok, there are a million excuses out there, but the bottom line is that election officials have failed, and Americans can no
    longer expect next-day certification.

    I agree. "Delay the results" isn't what I meant. I mean if we don't get the # of votes we want, we'll extend hours at polling places keeping them open for
    10 days past the election, or longer if 10 days isn't long enough. It's time for Republicans to toughen up.

    Using the pandemic as an excuse, keeping polling places open well past the deadline, mass-mailing ballots (or at least mass-mailing ballot applications,) dishonestly re-routing registered Republicans at polling places, starting new traffic patterns "for construction" right on election day, those are the items that concern me the most, far more than Trump's exagerated "fraudulent ballots" story.

    That they have -- and the path taken based on those notes seems to be "make sure some people cannot vote next time".

    We all do terrible things sometimes.

    That expectation is wrong. The proper expectation should be that every American citizen who is eligible to vote can do so without having impediments being placed to make that right more difficult.

    China "voted" in our election by executing covid, just in case Ted Turner couldn't pull it off. I think Ted's overkill approach would have been enough
    to pull it off, but the mighty CCP isn't going to rely on some wealthy liberal American. It was more important to them than it was to Ted.

    We should count the ballots until all legitimate ballots are counted.
    That is the way it should be.

    But how long should that take?

    As long as it takes.

    I guess stuff can delay it but why
    never before until the TDS era?

    The long delay was more due to COVID than to Trump. There were many
    people who did not want to risk catching COVID by standing in long lines
    to vote, and so use other alternatives -- such as voting boxes and
    mail-in ballots.

    It's ok, there are a million excuses
    out there, but the bottom line is that election officials have failed,

    Just how do you think that the election officials failed?

    and Americans can no longer expect next-day certification.

    Perhaps true. This election was not the first election where the result
    was not known by the next day. It could happen again.

    Maybe if we
    don't get enough red votes in Florida this year, we'll delay results there to even the score.

    Delaying the results does not even the score once all legitimate ballots have been counted. At that point, the administrators tally the votes

    I agree. "Delay the results" isn't what I meant. I mean if we don't
    get the # of votes we want, we'll extend hours at polling places
    keeping them open for 10 days past the election, or longer if 10 days isn't long enough.

    Just why would you do that? The election is on a certain day. That was
    true for this election, and should remain true. What you are
    complaining about is the fact that not all votes cast on or before
    election day got counted the same day. You can blame part of that on
    Trump's appointment of Postmaster General, who did all he could to delay
    the USPS delivery of ballots.

    It's time for Republicans to toughen up.

    And do what? Go back to Jim Crow days to restrict voting?

    Actually what happened is a combination of factors.

    Totally. Some of those factors seem legit, and some don't. It's ok.

    What factor does not seem legitimate to you?

    Using the pandemic as an excuse, keeping polling places open well past
    the deadline, mass-mailing ballots (or at least mass-mailing ballot applications,)

    Nothing wrong with those things.

    dishonestly re-routing registered Republicans at polling places,

    I am not aware of that -- when, where and how did that happen?

    starting new traffic patterns "for construction" right on
    election day,

    Could you give specific info on where, when and why that happened?

    It sounds similar to something that the Republicans did in one of the
    Dakotas, with the result of making it much harder for a large group of
    Hispanic voters to vote.

    those are the items that concern me the most, far more
    than Trump's exagerated "fraudulent ballots"
    story.

    I take it that you mean the "BIG LIE", something that several of Trump's lawyers have recently had their license to practice law suspended.

    As for the Postmaster General, many of the things that are blamed on him

    has been going on since at least 2009, when I moved to where I live now. I don't know what other shenanigans this PG got up to, but I doubt any of them were new ideas.

    Those "Trump manipulations" that you're referring to came after the election was complete.

    No, trump was talking that way well before the election.

    He was saying things like "the only way we can lose is if it's rigged".

    Before the election, liberal media was pushing a fake story about "Trump will refuse to leave office if he loses and he will need to be removed forcefully." They were full of it.

    There were no democrat manipulations. It is the republicans who continue

    Somebody was manipulating things. Govorner Sisolak (Nevada) rigged the
    election the best he could, although I don't think he deserves 100% of the blame.

    If the election had occurred *on election day* then Trump would have won.

    The election did occur on election day, Nov 3, 2020. Donald Trump and the republican party continues their war on democracy even today.

    We didn't have a winner until January. Every year we have our winners the day after election day, except for last year.

    Thanks to the generosity of liberal states like Nevada, Biden had
    at least 10 days to catch up, which is not typical of elections in th states.

    It wasn't a matter of catching up, it was a simple matter of counting the votes.

    I know you mean well, but that's incorrect. In-person ballots were still being submitted by voters for 10 extra days after election day (In Nevada.)

    Donald Trump himself faced with polls saying he was going to lose the election wouldn't comit to a peaceful transition.

    Wait! What?!

    Even fox news reported on Jan 7 that Donald Trump lost the election and that Joe Biden won on Nov 7, 2020.

    Everybody knew who won the election. Everybody.

    It wasn't a matter of catching up, it was a simple matter of counting the

    I know you mean well, but that's incorrect. In-person ballots were still being submitted by voters for 10 extra days after election day (In Nevada.)

    I don't think so. I don't think people in Nevada were voting 10 days after the election. Do you have any kind of proof to go along with that claim?

    I don't know what kind of basis you have to make a claim like that. Maybe election officials gave the post office 10 days to deliver mail in ballots but there was no (or very little) fraud in Nevada, or the rest of the USA.

    That's simply not true. Often the numbers will play out in such a way that
    it's obvious who will win and it will get called before all of the votes are counted. This happens, for example, when the known number of uncounted
    ballots is less than the number of votes that the loser needs to close the
    gap.

    That happened in 2020 as well. Fox News was the first to call Arizona for Biden, even though not all of the Arizona votes had been counted yet.

    As long as it takes.

    In some states, it takes a long time to get the results that Democrat governor seek.

    It's ok, there are a million excuses
    out there, but the bottom line is that election officials have failed

    Just how do you think that the election officials failed?

    Dozens of ways. Blaming the postal service is a failure. Using covid as an excuse is a failure. Covid doesn't even exist anymore now that Biden's in office. Coordinating with China to use youthanasia to win an election is a failure.

    Trump's appointment of Postmaster General, who did all he could to delay the USPS delivery of ballots.

    If that's true then Trump's a failure too. Lots of people failed. It's difficult to not think that some of these failures were intentional.

    It's time for Republicans to toughen up.

    And do what? Go back to Jim Crow days to restrict voting?

    Time for Republicans to start dong dishonest stuff to catch up to the Democrats.

    Using the pandemic as an excuse, keeping polling places open well pas the deadline, mass-mailing ballots (or at least mass-mailing ballot applications,)

    Nothing wrong with those things.

    That's your opinion but it seems like you're ok with ignoring reality when
    it's convenient to do so. It's convenient to eat at Burger King every day & to say "statistics show that eating 4 whoppers a day won't lead to weight gain." People who love Whoppers won't disagree! It's too inconvenient to do so!

    dishonestly re-routing registered Republicans at polling places,

    I am not aware of that -- when, where and how did that happen?

    In Binghamton NY. The city (run by rhinos) closed major streets on election day (for construction) that were open the day before and the day after.

    I made my way to my polling place where the liberal poll workers told me I wasn't registered in their district. So I drove to my prior hometown and tried to vote there, then they sent me back to the pollng place where I was originall at. No apologies, just "here's your ballot."

    I'm sure the same leftie tactics were used throughout the country in districts where Ted thought it would be most effective.

    Could you give specific info on where, when and why that happened?

    2020 general election, Binghamton, NY.

    It sounds similar to something that the Republicans did in one of the Dakotas, with the result of making it much harder for a large group of Hispanic voters to vote.

    Right! Trump's probably to blame ;)

    There has been lots of misinformation reported about the 2020 election by Donald Trump himself and less than reputable news outlets. Maybe they should be called misinformation outlets.

    There were something like 60 court cases and in some states recount after recount and they all confirmed that Biden won the election.

    I uderstand it's tough when "your guy" loses an election but denying the fact doesn't help. Every election has a winner and a loser. Once the votes are counted we know who won and who lost.

    Come on, Ron, don't buy into Aaron's ignorance.

    Most of us knew within a week of the election who had won.

    All 50 states were required by law to certify their Electoral College votes
    by December 8. These certifications were public. It should have been plainly obvious by this date.

    The Electoral College met and voted on December 14. It was not a secret
    vote. It should have been doubly obvious who had won at this point.

    But Aaron claims that it was not clear who had won until January. Presumably he's referring to the ceremonial counting of the Electoral College votes on January 6.

    Now, if Aaron is right and election results aren't known until the counting
    of the Electoral College votes, then the results of no presidential election have been known until January, in which case he is wrong in saying that it
    was unique to this election.

    Clearly, though, Aaron is wrong. And you're all to ready to support him in
    his ignorance. Shame on you, Ron.

    I am almost twice your age, and also never recall an election for
    which the result was not known until January, including the 2020
    election. Although the "official" result is not until January 6, the
    results are pretty well known anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
    This past year, the election of Biden was announced on Nov 7 -- only a
    few days after the polls had closed. At that time, enough states had a sufficient margin for their election to be called by the networks, and
    the electorial college results put Biden over the 270 threshold. Some
    states may well still have been close enough to be called, but that did
    not matter.

    There has been lots of misinformation reported about the 2020 election by Donald Trump himself and less than reputable news outlets. Maybe they should be called misinformation outlets.

    Those phrases are outdated because no news outlets are to be trusted anymore.

    I uderstand it's tough when "your guy" loses an election but denying the fact doesn't help. Every election has a winner and a loser. Once the

    I understand what it's like to have my candidate lose. Believe me, not every candidate in my party is who they're cracked up to be. Obama was better than Biden. Both parties have major losers.

    I am almost twice your age, and also never recall an election for
    which the result was not known until January, including the 2020
    election. Although the "official" result is not until January 6, the results are pretty well known anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. This past year, the election of Biden was announced on Nov 7 -- only a

    Nevada kept their polls open until Nov 17 and that wasn't fair. How hard is it for some rich guy like George Soros to pay a bunch of people in Nevada to go and make Biden catch up nationally? That's just one of the tricks they pulled.

    claim?

    I can't find any news reports about it at the moment.

    No shit.

    Democrats have decided to hide the evidence. They run the media so I bet that it was as easy as a few mouse clicks.

    I have searched for confirmation of that statement and cannot find any.
    What I did find was that Nevada keep their polls open for an extra four
    hours in order to accommodate people who were already in line and also
    those who could not vote earlier because of a malfunction.

    Four hours is a lot less than fourteen days.

    I could not find anything about the Nevada polls being open until November
    17, either. The closest I could find was that Nevada early voting began on October 17. I thought that maybe by "kept their polls open" Aaron might have meant "accepted mail-in ballots" (granted, an entirely different thing) but could not find any confirmation of that, either.

    The only (non-) controversy I really remember about Nevada had to do with out-of-state voting, because Nevada has a large number of its citizens
    deployed elsewhere in the military. People tried to make it sound like a
    large number of Nevada votes came from outside Nevada and that was some kind
    of fraud (it wasn't).

    I was wrong. Nevada accepted mail in ballots (postmarked by Nov 3) for 10
    extra days past the election. 2 other states did the same thing. It's dishonest, but it made your people happy.

    It's not dishonest. The postmark proves that the vote was cast on or before election day. It ensures that even if the mail system (which, by the way, was being intentionally hindered by Trump cronie DeJoy) took 10 days to deliver
    the vote, it would still get counted.

    Was Trump counting on the postal service being slowed down in order to win?
    Is that why he told his supporters not to use it, using the false excuse that it was more susceptible to fraud? Is that why he was so shocked at his loss?

    I would count a global pandemic as extenuating circumstances.

    In 2016, absentee ballots for the New York general election had to be postmarked by November 7 and received by the county office no later than November 15, well after election day.
