You are aware that sensitive mail (such as ballots) that's mailed to an address that the person is not at, where the current residents have notified the USPS to stop delivering the prior resident's mail, is often trashed? I received ballots in Oregon 2 elections (4 years) after leaving the state before they stopped mailing them because it hit the 5 year "not an active voter" mark. Even the mail forwarding service expires after a certain period of time, and if forwarding is not used, and the USPS is notified that you aren't at that address, the mail goes away.

We know there is ballot and voter fraud, though there's no evidence it's widespread or major enough to influence any but the smallest local elections. But assuming that ballots being thrown away by USPS is a case of fraud is one hell of an assumption.

Edit: Personal mail is returned to sender. That's not the policy for ballots.

So why is the democratic platform so highly against voting reform then? Even in the 2016/2012/2008 elections, there were hundreds of thousands of votes from people who'd been dead for years.

For a country that is highly "technologically" advanced, you cannot tell me our current system represents the 21st century.

E: Forgot.. Russia.

Ooh. I know, I know....

Ok, suppose that the Dems DID steal the election. What are you going to do about it?

Me, nothing. But I'd assume there'll be recounts or SC case(s)..

so... trump is doing EXACTLY what everyone predicted in case of a close race: prematurely declare victory, try to stop the remaining vote count that favours biden, and ask the activist judges he appointed to hand him the election, correct?

it's amazing that republicans don't seem to realise (or more likely, don't care) what a cheat he is, and how voter disenfranchisement and suppression are their only chance to remain relevant, lol.

this is going to be a shitshow of epic proportions, getting a nice big bag of popcorn... let the riots begin!

At a guess, power. If the chain of custody on ballots is locked down to a point where fraud is not possible, then there's the potential that people who currently have power could lose it and have no recourse.

But again, hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes is unlikely to be enough to sway a national election. It'd have to be in the millions, and there's no evidence this has ever occurred.

Meanwhile, the sale of magic mushrooms is about to become legal in Oregon, with 21+ age restrictions, yet politicians are still talking about attempting to reduce the voting age to 16, and are 100% against school vouchers that would provide funding for actual educational facilities as opposed to state-propaganda institutions.

It's a funny ol' world.

Moan on ParD and post shitty memes.

The usual

I mean considering Pelosi, pretty much promised there'd be cheating... I would think that's grounds for an investigation at minimum.

The Senate will be RED, and the house will at least be purple. The SC is definitely right leaning.
