[SectionC3]

No, you still haven’t answered the question.  You spoke of “chaos.”  I still see no evidence of chaos.  Long lines are not chaos.  And, certification takes time.  In New York State it takes around a month, and nobody in the history of New York State politics has had a problem with that.  

 

So I ask again.  Where’s the chaos, and what problem was this law designed to address?  Chef Jim Crow, the floor is yours.

And how it historically has been done in Georgia is to throw out the ballot if, for example, somebody dots the “i” in their name in the signature on file, and then doesn’t dot said “i” in the signature on the mailing envelope containing an absentee ballot.  No, I don’t have a link, and no, I’m not going to dig it up.  But I’ve worked on the issue in the past, and the point that GA historically has used signature match as a sword (to knock out votes) rather than as a shield (to protect the sanctity of an election) is a fair one.  It’s not signature match that’s the issue, it’s the degree of similarity required to conclude that a signature “matches.”  And GA’s threshold on that front used to be (and may still be) really, really high.

Hilarious to see you obsess about the racist component of this bill - just as the GQP had planned - and not the overt power grab and dismiss the checks n balance in our democratic systems.  

 

 

Of course I obsess about the Bill being called racist. And I’ve explained why. Calling something like this racist distracts away from real racism. If you cared at all about racism you’d focus on eliminating distractions such as this.

You don’t need to educate me on Jim Crow. Please tell me what is specifically in the Bill that harkens back to Jim Crow?  You have read the Bill right?  Again. Equating this Bill to Jim Crow is sick and I would think anyone who was subjected to Jim Crow would agree.

But it doesn’t actually do that at all.

 

It’s basically impossible to commit voter fraud on a meaningful scale and you know that.

 

Each ballot is secure and mailed to the voter at their home address. What you’re actually saying is that millions of ballots are being stolen out of people’s locked mailboxes by random people who intend to fraudulently fill out those ballots. 
 

Think about how silly that is.

No, the courts, the state audits and the DOJ showed there was no fraud.  As far as the primary someone answered above that is was confusion over the process and not fraud.  But you refuse to believe anything that doesn’t fit the Trump narrative.  2+2=4, not 5.

Confusion over how to sign your name? 10% were confused by signing their name? It is either fraud or extreme incompetence but your defense of it shows you willing to believe anything to not have to admit that our elections should be more secure

It does not need to be millions but often 100k that makes the difference and that can be done through many ways. When literally 100 billion is being swayed by a few people to speak as if the motivation is i not there is being intentionally oblivious

See above.  If for example, you signed your name “Buffalo Timmy” and dotted the “i” in the signature on file with the BOE, but didn’t dot the “i” over the signature you applied to the envelope containing your absentee ballot, then, under GA law prior to 2020, the ballot would have been rejected.  Does that seem fair?  Not to me it doesn’t.  And I hardly would characterize the failure to dot the “i” as “fraud or extreme incompetence.”  Surely not every dispute is exactly like the one I mentioned, but the reality is that many of them probably were, which gets us back to the “sword” and “shield” points.

Our election this past year was the most secure in history according to those who watch over such things, in addition to the courts, DOJ and everyone else I have already listed for you.  Yet you want to use confusion in one primary election in one district to somehow indict an entire system.  Because you are a lackey for Trump, and he put it in your head way before the election that if he lost there must be fraud. Because he knew he’d lose and his ego refused to accept it.   Think for yourself instead of having an NYC con man do it for you.  2+2=4, not 5.

And 100k did not happen.  There is absolutely no proof of fraud and because your guy lost you refuse to accept reality.  Reality is 2+2=4.  Trump wants you to believe it’s 5, and you want to buy into it.  Use your head.

It can happen at the local level where the election is decided by less than 1000 votes. Republicans were caught in NC in that House race that was really close. Safeguards were out into place after that. That was more of a “ballot harvesting” scenario.
 

senate or presidential level? Nope.

[Wacka]

But the democrat party that supported slavery, wrote the Jim Crow laws, founded the KKK, had a senator that was a KKK kleagle, and filibustered civil rights laws  is not racist?

[Governor]

The funniest part about Georgia is that Trump got butchered and then both R senators lost also afterwards, which basically confirmed that the numbers were exactly right and ended Donald’s fake narrative.

Answering a question with a different question or questions is unbecoming.  We could get a lot further if you could simply articulate a response to the question on the floor.  Simple for some, but not simple for Chef Jim Crow. 

 

Ding ding we have a winner.  This is the point that Chef Jim Crow refuses to acknowledge.  Things, save for attempted/actual Trumpian interference in the count of the ballots cast in the general, went smoothly.  The point to be drawn therefrom is that, while there were problems in the primary, the relative smoothness of the general showed that the rules that were in place worked and that there was nothing that required fixing.  

 

So what is the impetus for this nonsense bill?  Chef Jim Crow and his acolytes are fumbling around on the issue because they don’t have a reasonable answer for the question, other than that the bill is intended to stifle minority vote and put a thumb on the scales for the suburban and rural vote (that is, the Republican vote) in Georgia.  

You're arguing back and forth about an unknown.  You personally can vouch that there was absolutely no vote fraud  in the 2020 general election?  Because you personally inspected ballots and observed the voting processes and protocols, for mail in and on site voting?  Really?  You can no more state that as a known fact than I or anyone else can say there were irregularities or that all went as required.  Truth is none of us here know for sure and its just a case of believing what you want to believe absent that.  It boils down to opinion and drawing a conclusion based on limited and filtered information.   

 

So why do you believe all was on the up and up?  Either you're satisfied with the results and don't see any need to question it or you trust the people doing the counting.  Me, I just don't trust politicians and their foot soldiers of any party and I trust the one's claiming to be out to "help" other people even less. 

 

My hypothesis is they stuffed the mail in boxes with a bunch of fake votes and stopped the vote counts election night in several key districts per the '60's Cook County politician machine playbook.  To let all the other votes come in from all the other precincts in the State so they knew how many votes they needed to manufacture in order to win the State.  This happened election night in State like GA, PA, and MI.  All states that swung one particular way late and suddenly.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Can I prove any of it?  No.  But you can't prove anything either.

 

And the people that do know for sure are in absolutely no hurry to share the truth about anything with any of us.  So rather than bickering back and forth with each other we should all be on their asses to shed some light on their game.

An Offensive Comparison

 

The bad-faith comparisons Biden is making are so perverse. Apparently, weekend voting, asking people to provide a driver’s license on an absentee ballot, and attempting to secure drop boxes are all “Jim Crow.”

 

Not only is the president misleading the American people when he says this, but he is disrespecting black Americans whose ancestors endured legitimate discrimination at the hands of actual oppressive laws.

 

“President Biden is very adept at race-baiting. He and all of his cohorts and colleagues are,” Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., said on Fox News on Wednesday. “If you throw skin color into a discussion and you step on the emotions of people who have fought to be considered equal in the United States, then you’re going to immediately get support and confusion for that position.”

 

Let’s remember who our president is. This is the same guy who said, “You ain’t black” if you weren’t going to vote for him. Biden may continue to preach that it’s “a time to heal,” but healing can’t include falsely maligning the opposing political party as racist segregationists.

Yes we do know for sure.  Because the people entrusted with running elections made sure it was so.  Your refusal to believe anything is your problem, not an electoral problem.  The elections swung late because mail in ballots from heavily Democratic areas got counted later and in at least one state (Pa) because the Republican legislature wanted it so.

If you've examined the specific details of the audits I'll take you word for it.   But to my knowledge all they did was count the votes and verify the counts with a re-count.  Not confirm or validate all the ballots cast were valid. Not cross reference the votes cast to voting records.  If you think that's sufficient then okay but I don't.  All it proves is they are proficient at counting.

You have no understanding of statistical methods not of audits.  Georgia did just what you ask.  And audits do not mean you recheck every single vote, you take a representative sample.

 

You don’t want to believe anything associated with government.  You want anarchy.

It's called the presumption of regularity.  Elections are presumed to be valid.  I don’t have to prove validity.  Those challenging the results—the Trumpian  crow crowd—has to prove invalidity.  So ... think there’s a problem?  Have concerns with the process?  Gotta show your work.  Prove it.  Long lines, like Chef Jim Crow likes to point to, don’t support irregularity.  We don’t guess that there might be irregularity.  We prove it.

Jim Crow MANDATED racial segregation in public places such as schools.  Does this law force black people to use separate polling places that are hard or impossible to reach?

Jim Crow instituted things like Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests at the polls.  Many of the tests were impossible to pass thereby making impossible for many black people to vote.  Please point out where the GA Bill does anything of the sort

I have done this several times as have others.  You refuse to believe it because your head is up Trump’s behind.  You are incapable apparently of separating your thoughts from that of a con man who cried fraud weeks before the election because his ego would not accept losing.  And because of that the craven Republicans in state legislatures scared of him made up laws to fix a non-existent problem, laws that place a greater burden on a certain more Democratic leaning population.  You and others when presented with 2+2=4 insist it equals 5 because Trump waits so are to be pitied.  You should have more self-respect.  

 

I actually hope the Republicans place their trust and hope in a guy that lost the White House and both houses of Congress.  When they get beat like a drum again it will hasten the reclamation of the Republican Party by actual Republicans who will espouse policies I oftentimes support.

The best part of your comments is that you can not argue without mentioning Trump- I don't love Trump and have stated multiple times that this election was not decided by cheating. Unlike you I am able to think critically and when a government official tells me it is the most secure election ever when Pennsylvania is changing their rules of operation on the fly, Nevada is sending out ballots to people who died 10 years ago, and Michigan can't count properly I won't trust them. It scares me how adamant you are that this govt is being honest but the last one was the most dishonest ever when 80% of the federal employees are the same.

The reason why this ended up being the most secure election in history is because the nation was on high alert the entire time because we caught him trying to cheat multiple times.

Oh, and when it comes to data, the data that is relevant is the data that says the Georgia law and others like it and based on a fantasy.  There is no data to suggest that there was fraud in the 2020 election.  None.  Zero.  Nada.  These laws are being passed because Trump had a hissy fit about losing and claimed fraud before any votes were even counted, and Republicans didn’t and still don’t have the spine to tell him to shut up.

Absolutely zero evidence of that every happening. Yet another false narrative, made-up boogeyman that isnt based in reality.

 

That claim has always been spurious at best.  How do you catch people voting illegally if you're not checking ID? 

 

Meanwhile the claim that since voting is a right that it should be as easy as possible is a fallacy.  Owning a gun is a right yet it's not easy, much less cheap.  So that dog doesn't hunt either.

Bull crap yet again.  The election results were audited by the states, the DOJ indicated there was no fraud, the courts ruled in dozens of cases that there was no fraud.  Trump’s own trumped up committee to investigate supposed fraud in the 2016 election was quietly disbanded when they found nothing.  But because one man has such apparent power over you and others you continue to puns thus illegal voting nonsense.

 

Why is it so many cannot apparently think for themselves?  Why is it so many are held in the thrall of a con man who lost the Republican Party the presidency and both houses of Congress?  Why?

Equating gun ownership with voting.  Great stuff.  Almost as silly as equating HCQ with effective treatments for COVID-19.  But you're the Doc who believes in medical hoaxes propounded by a real estate developer, not me.  Enjoy your day, sir.

Also, ask local activist Rus Thompson (sp?) about that.  He was nailed for it.  Only person I know to have been pinched on a voter fraud issue.  And a Trumper, for what it's worth.

You’ve done nothing of the sort.  You’ve regurgitated talking points cloaked in some notion of virtue, purported the talking points to be evidence of something that flipped your particular trigger, and think by harkening back to days long gone think you’re making a point.  The point to me is you point to data when it suits you, emotion when it does not. 
 

As for Trump and hissy fits, the reality is that complaints about rigged and fraudulent elections has been mainstream for several years and is nothing new to American politics.  Obama, Biden, Pelosi et al set about destroying faith in the process as early as 2015, and tens of millions of folks—maybe you, maybe not—bought it.  
 

I won’t bother arguing about election results and the ability for outside parties to influence the election.  It doesn’t matter.  Biden is president, all that really boils down to is your flavor of enabled scumbag is in charge v somebody else’s.  Big picture, of course elections can be impacted, of course powerful people would change the outcome illegally if possible, and it’s silly and naive to think otherwise.  To be candid, I have a much greater problem with 4 years of dem and media propaganda destroying faith in the system and impacting 2020 than anything that happened in November.  
 

So, if all you have is feelings and talking points, best to leave the folks in Georgia to their process.
