Does it matter who performs the fraud? I can't say if it is establishment, or individuals who act on their own. The establishment and their supporters will try to capitalize on it by either supporting it with a wink or condemning it when they can. Why add to the potential for this?

My point is that there's enough cheating out there (practiced by supporters of both parties) for each party to throw ***** at each other. The system worked before this year -- voter fraud is vary very low. Now in a span of 6 months States are going to magically force each and every one of their normally creaky Election Offices make a drastic switch in how they do things. And to top it off, we need to rely on a typically unreliable delivery agency. Nobody loved the post office. Now they've been raised up as the greatest agency ever -- even better than Amtrak. That's a recipe for complete disaster. Mistakes and errors aside, the proposed plan allows unscrupulous people to take advantage of flaws. If you like chaos, you're going to love November. I'm not 100% against a different way of voting during this time of the virus, but what's being hastily proposed is bad. Since the 2000 election, states needed years to switch to reliable electronic voting. Changing things to be more complicated isn't always the answer. Make it easier to vote in person. Spend the money for more polling places. Let people vote over a few days. If you like chaos, you're going to love November. This adds to the potential for chaos. That's my main point. A winner will win and a loser will lose. You can bet that neither side will go quietly.

You’re right. Mail-for-all is set up to be abused by anyone, regardless of party affiliation. I’m sure that I will get three ballots in my mail this year for people who are dead or don’t exist (my father in law, the prior owner of this house who hasn’t lived here for 20 years and the mail that comes to a fictitious name comprised of the first names of my mother in law and father in law). I won’t be casting more than my own vote, but I can see where someone else wouldn’t be honest. You’re also missing much of the original post, which has nothing to do with fairness, but describes the likely problems that overwhelming both the board of elections and the post office will inevitably pose. These are not two shining star agencies.

They should make it all Bruce Smith. Every seat.

Fireworks explosion, huh?

Hang out on your porch wearing this...

^^^^^^^ two in 29. 51 for Carter Page. No, no. Not a witch hunt.

They aren’t nearly the best we can come up with. Most rational, qualified people would not dare run for President (probably Governor, too — and Supreme Court). Especially in the age of social media. We’re left with the demented to choose from. The D and R primary losers from 20 years ago are better than what gets put up these days.

You got something against Lee Strasberg?

You mistake me for someone on a bandwagon. I’ve already clearly stated my opinion about the subject matter of your thread and Trump’s tweet about postponing the election. Go back and find ithose. At this point, all I’m telling you is that you’re deluded by hate. Here, I’ll make you feel better... There are laws which dictate when the election must be held and when the electors must vote, and most important when a President’s term expires. So here’s a hypothetical that’s just as stupid as yours: Several States use all-mail ballots for the November election. This results in a failure of electors to be appointed in a timely manner but somehow all the congressional races are announced. The Presidentail election falderal continues past January 20 with no winner, at which time the Speaker of the House automatically becomes President. Now we all know that the Speaker does not need to be a member of Congress, so the Democrat majority selects “Joe Biden” to be Speaker of the House, and he becomes President. After that, the House selects Nancy Pelosi to fill the empty Speaker job. I’m sure you’d be okay with that, yes?

Yep. Why ask him about it in the first place? Why get worked up over it? He’s got as much control over this as you do. You want every administration official to retract every stupid or incorrect thing they say? How about elected officials? Do you realize how delusional this is? I believe you only want them to retract statements you disagree with. I’ll act as if it is a big deal once Congress gets serious about it. Wake me then. Perhaps it is you who doesn’t know how the laws work and which branch of the government passes or changes them. Did you act as though it was a big deal when Andrew Cuomo and several other governors issued executive orders delaying primary elections and conducting them with mail ballots for everyone? Don’t break your arm trying to pat yourself on the back. Your first (un-original) hypothetical is just that. Trump’s statement has no actual bearing on that. Nobody wants to get into your panic room with you. All you’re looking for is validation of a myth. And because nobody wants to get into your panic room you call them names.

Big deal, Pompeo was wrong. WTF does anyone care what the Secretary of State says about this issue? Is Pompeo going to send the State Department Troop Election Task Force to polling places to enforce the non existent postponement? No, he’s not. Find another issue to crap your pants about.

No. I’m not wasting my time. You refuse to hear. Too much hate in your heart.

Did she say this today? Holy Moses.

I don’t think you know the issue if you say something like this. It really exposes your ignorance of the problem with selective unmasking.

You have no reservations regarding mail-in voting? It will be a colossal mess. Both sides will see to that. It will be story after story after story of how either D's or R's are cheating the system or suppressing the vote. Most of it will be bullcrap, but some of it won't. It doesn't matter because perception = reality these days. We won't have election results until mid December at the earliest, and the country will live through a nightmare for at least that period of time, probably longer. Maaaaarrrrrkkkk myyyyyyyy wooooorrrrrdddsssss !!!

That's better than Great, yes? I mean, why settle for Great when you can go full Tremendous?

You presume his motive as usual. Aside from that, I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion of postponing the election. I also wholeheartedly disagree with mail in voting which has never been done on such a scale, and there's been no time to put a plan in place.

How will the Board of Elections know that I mailed in my ballot? If I also show up to the polling place on Election Day, will they have crossed my name off the list as already having voted? How will I know that my ballot ballot got to where it was supposed to go? It seems to me that it would be easier, quicker, and more accurate to spend extra money on making polling places safer than spending money on hastily changing every State and Local Board of Elections’ method of conducting an election. Or — another proposal would be to require in-person (and usual absentee) voting, but keep the polls open from Sunday-Tuesday. This is what they should do if they don’t want chaos.

Been to the Algarve twice. I’d retire there. Try Tavira. Nice little place. You need to take the ferry to get to the beach, but it is worth the ride.

This sounds good, too. I'm not inflexible. Yes, this is true, but when cold, they aren't expected to be crisp. The meat tightens up a bit and they don't lose any flavor.

Dunno. They're good! I can't be alone on this one. Definitely not soggy.

Both. No preference whatsoever. Prefer leftover wings straight out of the fridge.

Dick Clark was good on $100,000 Pyramid.

^^^^ what a great still shot that is. I almost don't want to press play.
