Well college students seem to be too stupid to figure out how to get out and vote that's what keeps killing Bernie so maybe mail-in and in-person voting is too hard too.
I already said it wasn't.
Well, it's quite different actually cause you can sit in your car connect to wifi and vote instead of getting out stand in line and be in the same booth that 50 other people have been in.
Fair enough, but earlier I said I didn't like that this is being done purely for re-election purposes, and if it's not the appearance is certainly out there and there is very little evidence to the contrary.
I guess I don't understand. It's a similar concept to driving up having someone put groceries in your car and driving off so you don't have to go in the store, and it lowers your exposure to the public. If you go to a public wifi area and can connect to wifi and vote in your car without getting out of your vehicle isn't that safer than driving in getting out of your car waiting in line, going to a shared voting booth. In this case, they drive up, there are public hotspots, they connect assuming they have devices (which might not be a safe assumption), they vote and drive off without having to get out of their car. Technically speaking most of the people without access to broadband internet are rural areas, which might be elderly but probably aren't minorities, though maybe some reservations I don't know.
I was disenfranchised a long time ago.
The reality is I realize the electronic voting isn't anywhere close to being ready. I think mail-in is 'probably' a good option, though I have some reservations just because I have 0 trust for Democrats or Republicans (as parties, not individuals), I fully expect this election to be fake and wrought with cheating. So yeah I think this is a bad time to dismantle the USPS. I am just saying my preferred method would be for electronic voting, I think it would by far be the easiest method especially as more and more people get devices and the internet and is long term a better option even with the security issues it could have. I think parts of the USPS should/could be privatized effectively, I think it still provides a decent service for some people. Though honestly from my POV very little seems to come our way from the USPS seems like it's almost entirely FedEx, and we really don't get much paper mail these days, that's anecdotal and I'm sure some people still rely on it.
There are multiple states where the result is not known on election night. In fact. the Constitution says nothing about when the counting has to end. Getting the results a little late from all the states rather than a few of the states won't affect things much. By the way, did you know that we've been using mail-in voting in Oregon for the last 20 years and our results have been pretty quick.
How many times has anyone voted 100 times? Zero?
Covid -19 death is more like 4% of the infected rate. Still, not a lot according to Trump. Hey, it's only 170,000 Americans. More than died in Korea and WWI combined. More than twice as many as we lost in Vietnam.
6% of the united states (that includes kids who aren't eligible to vote) don't have access to broadband. It's going to be everywhere eventually. The idea that technology isn't everywhere (because it is) is also just not reality. There are over 10 billion smartphones (alone) in use today. That's more than the population of the planet. Also broadband isn't the only form of data, out in the country a lot of people have dishes that provide internet for people. The idea that meds and all those things can only be brought to you by the USPS is also, just not true. My parents have meds delivered by UPS so I know they're capable...

You can answer whatever you want for me, but I don't trust Republicans or Democrats and absolutely nothing they have done over the last 8ish years has done anything to make me feel otherwise. It's just made me feel more that way. I will not vote for them, they have sold us all out to China and Russia (and others), we are all just pawns to the elites. I see stuff I really don't like about all of them. Whether it's "equal" or not doesn't matter to me. It's just two 'evils', I don't care if one might be nice enough to stab me in the back and the other one will do it from in front.
My meds, eyeglasses, bills, etc all come through the mailbox....when I was caring for disabled people theirs did too....another glitch with electronic voting is one big windstorm can knock power out in rural areas for long stretches...when access is everywhere and they have an accessable system...sure...change the system when there isn't an election and test it out...but don't do this 3 months before a presidential election....that is just really, really suspect...and the mail isn't a big deal to fund...we bail out wall street, banks, auto dealers, even farmers got 18 billion after the trade war...infrastructure spending to keep people already social distancing at home is a no brainer to me. Next thing we'll have to have a monthly fee to join the firefighters private service or the house can just burn...going after people already struggling is the wrong move in the summer of 2020
I literally said as much... So... This is exactly what I posted.
All true except Kemp was secretary of state, in charge of election where he was candidate.
Never resisted it.
