SectionC3

It’s not reworking the entire voting system. “Vote by mail” and “vote absentee” are basically the same thing. (In some places absentee might mean early in-person voting when the voter is to be out of town on Election Day. New York State allows for early in-person voting, so “absentee” and “vote by mail” now are the same thing here.). It’s accounting for the time it will take to wait for the mail ballots to arrive, to open the ballots, and to run them through the “scantron.” That’s it. What we really need is patience to make this work smoothly. This is why you’re on the Washed Up Psycho List!

Because requiring the ID to vote is an impediment to voting. Two trips instead of one. Extra time. In some instances, extra cost. I hope you’re being facetious because the answer is . . . Obvious.

That’s if nobody earns 270 electoral votes. Right now I believe the delegations are 26-22 GOP, with two ties. So House elections will be relevant this November for that additional reason. Making for the potential of an even bigger mess, and incentivizing the refusal of some states (say Georgia, if it goes blue in a close race) to certify the result of the presidential election. Why are those ballots rejected?

Hoax. We will have a president on January 21 even if the election is not settled. This is a point on which you and I agree. This election cycle is going to be a mess of epic proportions. The public isn’t conditioned to waiting for election results, and the large volume of absentees will delay certification of the election results in a lot of places.

After I wrote that post I went for a run and saw Kroft running drills in his backyard with his dog. 2020 is a strange year!

Smart move for EJ. Not guaranteed to make the team, pockets $150k, stays healthy, and gets a shot next year. EDIT: Kroft may be next. He has $3.6m guaranteed this year, right? Young guy, not sure if he has kids but he is married, and may have a lot of guaranteed cash to risk. He's kind of nuts to play this year if he has that kind of guarantee - no season = no guaranteed cash, but tolling the contract keeps it in play when we hopefully have cleared this thing a year from now.

Speaking of, did you buy KAG/MAGA swag with your government check today? It is the first of the month. And trampling the Constitution. Did Congress authorize the disputed funds for the border wall? (Hint: no!) Because Congress didn't authorize the funds in question for the construction of a border wall. Meaning that Trumpy trampled the Constitution to reappropriate the vast majority of those monies. (Construction in the immediate vicinity of a military installation is authorized by law.) I'd like an America of dignity, among other things. I also am against a border wall in Colorado.

OK. I'll point to the 15th, the 19th, the 24th, and the 26th. It's another penumbra! So they have to go twice? Not just once? Poll tax, jellybeaner!

Anonymous op eds are obvious, eh? and, on your “just walk” idea, the cost is time! Maybe I could munch some jellybeans on the way to overcoming another obstacle to the exercise of a fundamental, constitutionally-protected right! It’s obvious you’re just scared of people voting and that you’re another trumper who wants to suppress the vote. Sad!

Haven't been to a funeral home since this started. So I think you're referring to someone else. How do I get said voter ID? By taking a trip somewhere? That's not free. Try again! Also, do I need an ID to exercise my constitutional right to free speech? I assume you'll acknowledge that the answer to that question is no. So why should I need an ID to exercise my constitutional right to vote? Got any examples of registration fraud for me? Besides Trumper and Paladino bag man Rus Thompson, of course.

Who is "they?"

Hoax on your hoax. IDs have a cost! Hoax. Petition fraud is different from voter registration ! Spend more than five seconds on google next time!

Hoax. Good to see you support back door poll taxes. Why don’t you just leave some jellybeans there while you’re at it? Not to mention disenfranchising absentees.

Hoax! It’s not “registering!” You have no clue what you’re talking about. Literally none. Petition fraud involves falsely signing or witnessing the name of a voter subscribed to a petition required for a candidate to be nominated to run for public office. It has nothing to do with fraud in VOTING. as far as your contention of additional actual voter fraud, I’m sad to report that you are the victim of another trump hoax. All you can do is suspect a problem. You can’t prove it, and you can’t prove its possible depth. It’s another Buffalo Timmy fairy tale! Have a good day, hoaxer!

And the difference between 30 and 1100 is minute given the probably billions of votes cast in this country since your conservative website began keeping score. Logic 1, voter fraud hoax, 0. *** Also, maybe you should try brushing up on the topic. I looked at one page of your hysterical conservative website. And guess what? The things that your liar Trumper pals try to pass off as voter fraud aren't actually related to the casting of a false ballot! Last I checked, "ballot petition fraud" (which is better characterized as designating petition fraud and which involves the falsification of a signature on a petition to gain ballot access) is not voter fraud! Of course you would know this given your intimate involvement in and expertise with respect to the political process. Another day, another voter fraud lie/hoax debunked!

Hoax. You don't know your own religion! That teaching simply means that we are to be forgiving, not that we are to ignore evil. If your version of religion involves demonizing brown people and denigrating women, that's on you. That is not my version of Christianity, and I won't ignore it. The Bible simply does not teach otherwise. Have a nice day, hoaxer.

Kind of like you lie about being a Christian?

Eww. Not the place I would put a chair if I was the one making the seating arrangements. Gross.

There you go again! I'm surprised you know what it is! I realize you graduated eighth grade with some sort of honor/recognition/participation trophy, but still . . . Says the guy practicing in the thriving metropolis of Arcade!

Hoax! There's no such thing as voter fraud. As evinced by the fact that nobody can put their finger on more than about 2.5 dozen instances of voter fraud in hundreds of millions of ballots cast! You and your hoaxy pals will keep on repeating the lie without ever bothering to ask **gasp** is this really true??

Fake news.

HOAX! Mail-in ballots are exactly the same as absentee ballots! There are just more people eligible to vote absentee by mail than there were before COVID! Try again, fake Christian! Erie County hasn't had one miscount in over 10 years. And absentee counting is done by scantron and under a number of watchful eyes. Fraud? Another right-wing hoax. My understanding is that there are roughly 31 instances of voter fraud among hundreds of millions of votes cast. So I think by now we can all agree that mail-in voting is a safe, effective, fair, and most importantly accurate way of conducting this election. Also, I have added you to the "Thinks Mail-In Voting is Acceptable" List! Hoax! You don't know the difference between absentee and mail-in ballots. Which is natural because there is none! Glad to have you on the Mail-In Voting is Good side of things!

And this is why the signage is important. There are people on the Bills who completely agree with you. And that agreement is based on valid points and criticisms. So if one is against a "Black Lives Matter" message at the stadium, I suspect that one also is anti-Bills. The message is good for football, it's good for business, and it's good for everyone who lives and loves the Bills. It's important that we all recognize that.

There you go again with your hoaxes. Also, it's not nice to name call. FYI -

So then you're good with mail-in voting in NYS. Because to get the ballot, a voter here has to ask for it. Hoax debunked and problem solved! I'll put you on the "Thinks Mail in Voting is Acceptable" List!
