Republicans set to push mail ballots, voting methods they previously blasted as recipes for fraud

[The Stars Tremble]

It doesn't matter. The Dems have moved beyond ballot harvesting and on to registration manipulation.

Why should Republicans have uncontested right of veto over the voter register?

It should be Federal, for Federal elections. Let states regulate the rolls for State elections, and local government regulate their own roll.

 

[Ikari]

It’s only for 50+ though

Well of course they're trying to impact a specific demographic, that's been the GOP strategy for some time.

 

[The Stars Tremble]

Mail-in voting is mail-in voting. The only difference is whether you put your ballot in a drop box or mailbox, which people in both states are doing.

No, that's wrong. Many states only mail OUT to approved voters. Colorado mails out to everyone on the roll.

 

[Jessie C]

May as well just put the goal post on wheels; make it easier to move...

 

[anatta]

It's not really "fire" though, is it? They could have been on board with this from the very beginning and made the efforts to get their voters to participate instead of creating doubt about mail in voting. Now they have to backtrack and say that this is indeed a viable method despite their previous efforts to the contrary. You have to wonder how easy of a sell this will be to the diehard election fraud folks who are basically facing a reversal from that narrative. What a crap show.

. I have MANY DOUBTS on signature verification its full of bogusness but you play the lie of the ball where it is
not where you want it to be

Republicans set to push mail ballots, voting methods they previously blasted as recipes for fraud

After years of criticizing mail voting and so-called ballot harvesting as ripe for fraud, Republicans at the top of the party want to change course. They are poised to launch aggressive get-out-the-vote campaigns for 2024 that employ just those strategies, attempting to match the emphasis on...

Hahahahaha, of course.

But in general, I support mail-in voting systems and I think it would behoove all States to adopt Colorado's voting system.

Of course they did, they figured out why they lost votes and had to go where the votes are.

That's just politics.

I just wish I could vote online and be done with it. Shit I can buy a $250k house and never leave my iPhone, all the votes I ever cast in my life were not worth half that.

FaceID me and let me vote, or fingerprint ID me, both are good enough for me, if someone really wants to hack our voting systems they can do it already if they really try, there is less security than that.

 

[SuperDS77]

And to hell with the First Amendment.

Non sequitur.

 

[Patriotic Voter]

No, that's wrong. Many states only mail OUT to approved voters. Colorado mails out to everyone on the roll.

So Colorado's Secretary of State never checks to make sure nobody on the voter roll is in prison? I don't think it is one of the two states that lets people vote in jail.

 

[rahl]

It doesn't matter. The Dems have moved beyond ballot harvesting and on to registration manipulation.

why do you say so many things that aren't true?

They also fought against "cancel culture" and then fully embraced it.

I imagine if the Republicans are now advocating for mail in ballots, that they are wanting to try carrying out same type of fraud that they've been accusing the left of.

I hope they try. Then they can see first hand how stupid their claims are.

 

[Captain America]

Yup. Time to put ballot boxes in every church.

Good idea.

Put some at all the hip-hop concerts and and colleges while we're at it. LOL!

 

[Lycanthrope]

These ****in' people...

They realize they ****ed themselves telling MAGAs to avoid these forms of voting, so now they'll crow that they "exposed and corrected mass fraud" connected to them and thanks to their tireless efforts they are now safe to use. You're welcome, voters!

 

[Crakhobarbie]

If memory serves, Colorado's system has a habit of disenfranchising voters in poorer districts.

So youv decided to make a claim without supporting citations.
How republican.

 

[rahl]

And to hell with the First Amendment.

the 1st A has nothing to do with it. Churches are already voting locations

 

[rahl]

. I have MANY DOUBTS on signature verification its full of bogusness but you play the lie of the ball where it is
not where you want it to be

you can not support this claim

 

[The Stars Tremble]

. I have MANY DOUBTS on signature verification its full of bogusness

Maybe do away with the machines and OUTSOURCE signature verification!

but you play the lie of the ball where it is
not where you want it to be

Interesting that you chose a golf analogy. Trump played the ball where he wanted it to be, and it didn't work out for him.

 

[The Stars Tremble]

the 1st A has nothing to do with it. Churches are already voting locations

When they're leased by government, yes. Are drop boxes in every church like you said?

They really shouldn't be. Providing a convenience to church goers (ie there for services or to pray) is pretty clearly an "establishment of religion"

 

[anatta]

you can not support this claim

it depends on the process, but this idea that a sig "clearly matches" is not enough. I was speaking about mass mailouts where sigs are the only verificatons
Ballots need to be requested - not just mailed to insure the voter is at the same address and not just dumped into mailboxes.

Florida has done it well,. other states not so much

It wouldn't be surprising, but if we can properly expand mail-in voting systems, it will be a win.

Though I doubt "properly" is the manner they want to go with it.

 

[anatta]

Maybe do away with the machines and OUTSOURCE signature verification!

really what is needed is multistage verifications. mail ballots have to be requested and signed, then compared the request to the ballot. IOW when a request for a ballot comes in that is the sig that needs to be on the voter roles..then compare the two
Of course voter role purging of voters not recently voting and a lot of steps would insure the integrity of mail ins

Interesting that you chose a golf analogy. Trump played the ball where he wanted it to be, and it didn't work out for him.

it was never going to "work out" after Garland took a PRA administrative dispute and turned it into an espionage case

 

[Deuce]

I agree. I am also not a republican. But i do vote republican as this is the only potential vehicle currently.

You vote straight-ticket Republican, you're a Republican.

 

[Crakhobarbie]

Though I doubt "properly" is the manner they want to go with it.

I think they will find the the mechanisms they claim allowed fraud are impossible to achieve.

 

[rahl]

I didn't say it. I'm just pointing out the 1st amendment has nothing to do with it.

no it isn't.

so as I said, you can in no way support your claim. Thank you.
