Midterms

Jesus H. Christ! Seriously? Yeah, I hope he doesn't win as well.

 

The early and absentee vote total six days out from election day so far has already eclipsed the total early and absentee vote total for the last midterm in 2014. While it is not as high as the presidential election in 2016, it is closer to that than it is the last midterm early vote turnout.

Also, the percentage of Republicans/Democrats so far is 43/41 this year, compared to 40/43 in 2016 and 44/40 in 2014 (The last big Republican midterm sweep).

If this was shaping up to be anything like the "Blue wave" that the ever-faithful mass media has been promoting for the last 12-18 months, wouldn't one expect the Democrats to be leading in early voting? Just asking.

From NBC News:

 

Not every citizen has a social security card so tying to a SSN is going to disenfranchise voters.

Electronic voting is questionable from a security standpoint. Paper ballots are too. That's what I like about NY, they use both. You fill in your paper ballot, and then they scan it in to the electronic system. So there is the electronic tally with a paper trail. Best of both worlds.

That's what we need - a system that uses both. Want to prevent people from voting more than once? Then have them fingerprint their ballot and have that scanned in so the system knows if someone tries to vote twice. Done, 99.9% of a non-issue is solved.

Our system will never expose all the candidates because to do that takes heaps of money and who is going to provide that money? I'm not even a Republican and I find the idea of the state coming in to help get candidates exposure to people who are too lazy to get involved in politics just ridiculous.

 

Is it true North Dakota hunters will lose their hunting license if they vote?

 

...there's a memo joke here somewhere...

...but I think it's gonna take a better comedian than I am to find it......

 

One thing I'll note this election cycle is that Greg Abbott is running some excellent ads.

 

Wow that is super racist. If super is the lefts meaning of not at all. That race card is just thrown out there by the Dems regardless isn’t it?

 

The only 2 times he's called candidates unqualified are for [GASP] black candidates.
