Warren Zevon Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 According to some (although Trump's voter fraud commission failed to find any evidence of voter fraud) mail in ballots are rampant with fraud. Should absentee ballots then be made illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 “Representative government cannot express the will of the mass of the people, because there is no mass of the people; The People is a fiction, like The State. You cannot get a Will of the Mass, even among a dozen persons who all want to go on a picnic. The only human mass with a common will is a mob, and that will is a temporary insanity. In actual fact, the population of a country is a multitude of diverse human beings with an infinite variety of purposes and desires and fluctuating wills.” Rose Wilder Lane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absentee ballots amount to 1 out of 1000 potential voters so they can be very easily verified by any group having a concern. A municipality that has 100,000 voters will have extreme difficulty validating all ballots cast in a 100 percent mail in process in a timely manner.

B-Man Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 “Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.”― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Remember when you celebrated this a year or so ago ? Quote Last year, a political operative working for North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Mark Harris was charged with fraud for directing a group of people to fill out as many as one thousand absentee ballot requests on behalf of voters — most of whom were unaware the ballots were being requested. These people then collected the ballots and filled them out themselves. Harris defeated Democrat Dan McCready by just 905 votes and, though it was never shown that the number of tainted ballots was enough to account for Harris’s win, the election results were thrown out and a new election was held. (Republican Dan Bishop beat McCready in a special election by 2,400 votes.) Harris was rightly punished for abusing mail-in ballots, Now, you act like it can't be done. Some consistency on the Left would be nice.......................................................I know, I know. ? . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, punish the guilty but let the vast majority of honest mail in ballotsers vote! Both sides will be wary of this trick and will be looking for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
