    What would you suggest?

    Mail is still secure enough to send SSN cards, credit cards, checks, etc. Is it perfect? No but nothing is.

    Online? Great you open it up to hacking or a bunch of people who are PC illiterate and don't know how to do it or computer errors on multiple fronts. Not any better.

    Call in voting? How do you verify who is calling? Phones can be hacked and spoofed.

    Forcing everyone to go to a voting machine which still has its own issues and puts people at greater risk in our current environment.

    Mail in ballots have been used for quite some time and usually favor Republicans but now, since it is gone the opposite way they are all of a sudden a potential problem and need to be extra scrutinized? I don't but that excuse.

    well he got that pro life boost AND was looking get supreme court hook ups.
    he was going for double whammy and again not about people.

    thats thing the repugs dont get. they call trump anti establishment "for people" yet its always about trump and not the people. so thats why he loses hes not for people hes a fraud. people see that.

    people were looking for that guy and he turned out to be a sleaze grifter all about himself. he had his chance and showed what a turd he is..and those hanging hat on his antics look dumb and an accessory..

    I know but CNN isn't the end even if they decided to call it. Call retractions have happened before. I was just stating what has happened this far. Some outlets, none of the major ones, have called the race.

    Your elections are extremely tiring. Patience patience I get it but this is really crazy.

    Why are not more people hired to count them?
    Why they take the nights off and they dont change shifts?
    Why there are so few counting machines?


    No matter what you say it is completely abnormal that a small state like Nevada that has more cacti than humans takes so many days to count the votes.

    Thats a huge problem that DEMS have to deal with in every elections. DEMs are always doing the purity test among themselves meanwhile GOP will fall in line when it comes time for the ballot box even for someone unqualified as Trump. Tribal politics is on both sides but DEM would never be able to trot someone like trump and get votes. Not only does DEMS have bad branding, the brand loyalty on the GOP side is stupid strong.

    The Doug Jones/Tuberville senate is another perfect example of it. I followed this race a bit cause i like Doug Jones. I thought he was doing a good job but people immediately switched back to vote republicans when the pedophile wasnt on the ballot anymore. He got crushed in the race by a football coach that wasn't even good at being a football coach. Just insulting.

    Ok, how do you resolve that with any other method since that is what you called for? Do you have any proof of this happening before? We can't deal in "what ifs", as others have asked for, give us some proof of your worries. There's a chance that the machine at the polling station didn't read my votes correctly but still recorded it. How do you account for those types of issues?

    I sincerely believe Mitch Mcconnell did that on purpose. I think Mitch is tired of trying to defend Trump babble for 4 years. He's content with Biden as long as he has senate control.

    We need a committee to look at and address ways to modernize the system that is fair, able to be verified and transparent

    There ain’t no way he’s losing PA. They could call it now if they wanted.

    If he wins PA he wins? He doesn't need Georgia and Arizona?

    I was talking about Arizona. I think Trump can flip it still.
