We have enough laws in place to have secure elections.
Before this stupid bill gets passed, the following needs to done:
Voter rolls cleaned up (like they're supposed to).
Ballots with illegal addresses tossed out and never counted (the Post Office can tell you immediately if the address is valid or if it's a business).
No ballot harvesting.
Early voting is allowed for a damn few exceptions (proven illness, military, individuals out of the area).
No electronic voting. When I heard that was being considered in the early 90's, I knew immediately that cheating was going to be much easier to accomplish.
Bipartisan oversight at ALL voting locations, and especially during vote counting.
Chain of custody for ballots MUST be observed. If not, then those ballots get tossed out.
Eliminate rank-choice voting in ALL states. That just encourages one party to dominate state and federal positions, rather than offer voters a choice.
If any of the above conditions exist, you can GUARANTEE outright voting fraud is taking place at some level.
You mean voting BEFORE any debates? That kind?
Election day should be a single day for voting, not 30-60 days. Having early voting that far ahead only invites fraud in the form of people voting multiple times (using fake names and illegal addresses - that aren't checked). It invites ballot harvesting because Board's of Election mass mail out ballots in multiple states, rather than requiring an individual request an absentee ballot. It invites fraud in the form of people voting multiple times using absentee ballots, and then again in person - again, this isn't checked as diligently as it should.
Any ballots received AFTER Election Day must be postmarked before that. And I wouldn't accept ANY ballots delivered more than 48hrs AFTER Election day, regardless when they're postmarked. If you're voting absentee, you should be smart enough to get your ballot dropped off or mailed to the Board of Election in time.
To be fair, American laws are still stuck in the 1800's, lol. The whole constitution needs reform.
That scares the shit out of me. Technically, 30 states already voted FOR a convention. Now it was for certain things like abortjon or immigration. So experts don’t know if they’re supposed to be counted together.
This is why I think our founding fathers could have written a bit more logistical shit in the margins.
There are some serious checks on constitutional amendments, it needs 75% (38) states to agree. "This incredibly high ratification threshold ensures that only the most bi-partisan, common sense proposals with widespread support among the American people will make it into the Constitution."
OK, prohibition passed, but it was also repealed.
Yeah and 30 states voted for a convention…technically. A recent Times article says 20 states have voted for one. But stil that’s a lot…

Yes except it didn't go nearly far enough. The Electoral College is a sham that ensures disproportional representation when electing the President. The only justification for it's existence is to prevent completely unqualified and despotic people from being elected President but it failed with Trump. Abolish it and follow the popular vote as we always should have

I don't think it's about "raising the bar", more like closing loopholes in the current legislation.
Look at the Arizona election where it was certified by the person who won dude lol.
We need to run elections like Florida does where they are decided on that day with no frills.
You think he was the only person in the process? You think if he had one thought of fraud there wouldn’t be a deepthroat in a parking garage?
You can’t see the actual corruption in front of you by trumps people who have convinced half the country our election process is full of fraud.
Kemp certified his own election to governor, after disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters. Were you upset about that?
I guess Florida counts early and mail-in ballots before election day? That's OK, although I'd leave a couple of days for the post to be delivered. If all states did that, Trump wouldn't have been able to falsely claim victory on election night. He knew the vote count would look like he was doing better than he was, given that his opponent was likely to have more absent votes than him.
"after disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters." How so?
I think the elections should be sorted by election day but it's kinda irrelevant so long as the government is so thoroughly compromised. Some politicians are a bit less compromised and maybe even do their best from the inside.
He removed almost 200,000 voters from the rolls on the basis that they'd moved, but the USPO records showed they hadn't. www.democracynow.org/2021/1/5/greg_palast_georgia
@goaded other states had similar but different issues with voter suppression. The whole election system needs to be redone from scratch and have the type of security where it's like they're afraid they will be tortured for years if they fuck up.
And the election results should be tallied and announced on election day.
If it’s something the democrats are proposing to “get” trump, then I oppose it.
Joel is a Trump sycophant and the type of MAGA moron that wants an autocrat in power who will take away his need to perform complicated mental tasks like choosing who to vote for.
@holdem4884 oh wait, you’re the unbiased one, right? Dope.
Right, because the content 99% of the time disputes the headline. But I never expect intellectual honesty from you. So I’m never disappointed.
Of course I'm biased, everyone has bias. The difference Joel is that I'm not a mindless ideologue.
If ANY Democratic President tried to overturn the results of an election the way TRUMP did, I'd call for their hide and demand they be thrown in jail. Maintaining the Constitutional order should not be a partisan issue.
I wouldn't even think about trying to justify, defend, or excuse such behavior because it's totally and completely indefensible.
Your continued support of Trump is beyond shameful, it reveals you have no integrity.
@holdem4884 you’re absolutely mindless. People who support Biden don’t get to lecture anyone on integrity
@joeldalton You're so dim. My previous comment was more than sufficient to refute your last statement before you posted it.
I'm neither a Biden supporter nor a Democrat and I'm happy to lecture your hypocritical ass on integrity.
@holdem4884 lmao. of course you aren’t.
