Biden questions legitimacy of the 2022 elections.

[Gimmesometruth]

The things people share from their yahoo news feeds are very enlightening.

It is actually a BBC article, which if you had read it you would have seen.

The counties are NOT in control of the number of drop boxes OR poll locations, THE STATE is, THE STATE has closed these polls including the drop boxes located there.

Counties are in control of the number of polling locations. Local election officials do this.

I don't care about drop boxes. It's really a red herring, at least with regards to Texas. Mail in ballots have always been accepted by mail, and there are plenty of mailboxes. As I pointed out before, this was a response to hyperventilating about the US postal service.

And you still have not come to ANY realization that this is being done to Dem counties, it is as if you accept without thought that Dem areas are being discriminated against by Abbott.

It's being done by democrat officials in democrat counties. And honestly for good reasons, at least in Texas. Manning so many polling places is a challenge. With the increased use of technology and early voting, it's really not necessary. The trend has been toward larger, more convenient, voting centers - which work fine in urban areas. The governor has no say, other than facilitating and promoting the technology.

Uh, no, the poll sites had drop boxes, so not only were existing drop boxes reduced, the poll sites that were eliminated went along with them.

Nope.

Have you grasped yet what yer admission that these were in Dem areas means?

Democrats are doing it to themselves? Or maybe the push to consolidate polling locations, promote early voting, and allow voting at any location is a good thing for all concerned?

Uh, NO....this was the result of the action taken by the Guv, Abbott....the STATE GUV.

It's being done by democrat officials in democrat counties.....The governor has no say, other than facilitating and promoting the technology.

You have zero understanding of this issue, this was the result of Abbotts action, not dems at the county level.

Nope.

Yep. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Or maybe ....

Keep swinging...

I kind of don't know what to say. You have bad information, as I noted several times now. If you don't care, that's fine. I'll just point out the falsehoods you are spreading. Noting that you actually changed what you quoted in this one.

Again, the governor has zero to do with setting polling locations. This is done on a local (county) basis. To say that it's being done 'by Republicans to Democrats' is a lie.

LMFAO.

From the same people who changed voting laws in midnight un-recorded sessions in the last election, then called it "the most secure election in history"

Now say the upcoming 2022 midterms "might not be legit"

So we went from having an election "hacked by Russian disinformation"

To "having the most secure election in history"

And now we're back to "it might not be legit".

Who's dizzy after all the leftist spin?

Well I guess we'll have to see if they attack Congress in an attempt at sedition like the Republicans did.

Don't be that guy, seriously.

Yes, it's a BBC news story from a Yahoo Sports Newsfeed. Kudos to you for pointing out the obvious. Again.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

the governor has zero to do with setting polling locations.

Uh, HB758, signed by Abbott, took control away from precincts to set polling sites and instead forced counties to establish "vote centers", reducing the number of polling sites. Yes, Abbott and the State Legislature reduced polling locations AND drop boxes numbers.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

Yes, it's a BBC news story from a Yahoo Sports Newsfeed. Kudos to you for pointing out the obvious. Again.

It wasn't obvious to you, you missed who wrote it, only citing where the OP got the article. Obviously it was published at Yahoo, an aggregator.

So go ahead and tell us what significance that has.

It looks like you are going to continue to be that guy.

Two things can be true.
I know it is a BBC article.
I can throw shade at someone for sharing an article from a Yahoo Sports newsfeed and not from the original source,


Have a lovely evening.

Oh, sure, you can....its irrelevant, and pointless....but you can do that.

Another swing and a miss. Is there a particular bill you are referencing? (They renumber these each legislative session).

And again - not drop boxes.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

Is there a particular bill

I just cited it. Deal with it.

I see you're late with the most recent right wing talking points.

One asshole said the 2020 election was full of fraud, but had no evidence.

The other guy says future elections will be more difficult for people to participate in because of a multitude of restrictive laws. He has evidence.

If you can't tell the difference, it's because you're a hack.

 

[dcsports]

I just cited it. Deal with it.

Nope. That's an incomplete citation. Without a year, it's useless.

HB 748 in 2021 had to do with conducting a study on voting rights of convicted felons. Is that the one you meant? It didn't pass. 2019 had to do with law enforcement agencies. HB 758 in 2005 had to do with a pilot study on voting centers.

 

[Gimmesometruth]

HB 758 in 2005 had to do with a pilot study on voting centers.

Uh-huh.....and?

 

[PeteTheGeek]

Except none of that is true.

Getting rid of drop boxes because of chain of custody issues is not voter suppression

Requiring identification at polling places is not voter suppression.

This is misinformation. The things you list above will suppress illegal votes.

What is Biden’s evidence? That voters need have an ID and find a drop box, or mail in the vote if that’s an option? Honestly, if someone is allowed to vote and can’t figure out how to do these things, are they competent enough to help decide on the leader of the free world?

You may well be "LMFAO", but the conduct of elections in the United States of America wouldn't pass even really near-sighted muster on the "Free, Fair, Open, and Honest" scale in many other countries.

PS - Did you know that "spreading disinformation" and "fixing the election outcome" do NOT mean the same thing?

PPS - Did you know that having "Election A" being "secure" does not guarantee that "Election A+1" will be secure?

PPPS - Did you know that many dictatorships have VERY "secure" elections. In fact they are so "secure" that the results are known well in advance due to the people who run the physical election take great pains to ensure that ONLY those who are going to "vote correctly" get a chance to cast ballots.

Probably thinks they're being rigged by the Russians.

Well, the members of "Claque Failed Casino Operator" probably agree with him since they spent from 2017 to 2021 loudly proclaiming that all of the polls were totally useless and biased.

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

So, then, my question is: IF the 2022 and 2024 could be "illegitimate" if they're not held under his new laws doesn't that imply that the 2020 election also "might be illegitimate" as well?

You will not find a single Republican who was elected in 2020 who will agree with you that the 2020 election also might be illegitimate.

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

Amazing how he contradicts himself. Does he know that it takes a Constitutional Amendment to change from States controlling elections to the Federal Government?

Really?

I guess that you missed

Article 1, Section IV

Clause 1
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
​

<SARC>which is hidden away in a secret document that was enacted in a middle of the night, secret, unrecorded, session of Congress on June 21, 1788 (at which NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY was allowed to attend) and which is deliberately kept from the American people in order that the left-wing, socialist, commie, fascists who passed it could subvert the inalienable constitutional right to life, the inalienable constitutional right to liberty, and the inalienable constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness that all American have</SARC>.

 

[TU Curmudgeon]

This is misinformation. The things you list above will suppress illegal votes.

Now that is an interesting point, since the majority of the people who were detected as CULPABLY voting improperly have been Republican supporters.

If someone with early stage Alzheimer's Syndrome sends in an absentee ballot and then shows up at the polling place and requests a ballot because they have forgotten that they already voted, would you consider that that was a case of "illegal voting"?

- I wouldn't.

If someone who is still on parole (and therefore ineligible to vote) thinks that they are eligible to vote because they are no longer incarcerated and shows up at the polling place and requests a ballot, would you consider that that was a case of "illegal voting"?

- I wouldn't.

If the percentage of actual "illegal votes" is 0.000001% and if stringent "Voter ID" requirements result in 0.00001% of the legal voters not being able to vote, have you actually improved the election process?

If consolidating polling locations in "areas where we suspect voter fraud is likely to occur" results in the detection of 1 case of "voter fraud" and in 1,000 legitimate voters not being able to cast their ballots due to an insufficiency of "voting booths", has that actually improved the election process?

If consolidating polling locations in "areas where we suspect voter fraud is likely to occur" AND those areas are areas that are likely NOT to vote in favour of "the party currently in power", results in the detection of 1 case of "voter fraud" and in 1,000 legitimate voters not being able to cast their ballots due to an insufficiency of "voting booths" AND the number of legitimate voters exceeds the margin of victory of the candidate from "the party currently in power", has that actually improved the election process?

 

[uptower]

Biden’s both right and wrong. The coming elections will be heavily rigged in Republican favor and the GOP May very well win majorities without even a plurality of votes. Unfortunately this will be completely “legal” as they’ve been allowed to write the laws and stack the courts to suit this aim for years.

And yes it is based on actual fact because those laws and Acts of congress are all on record.
