Logic and accuracy? One vote, in person with photo ID, on election day.
One person, one vote would be wonderful.
It’s great to see you advocating getting rid of the electoral college.
That would solve some real probems.
As for the other two, I don’t see why.
Our voting system functions perfectly fine with mail-in/drop-off voting.
You’re still welcome to present your ID at a polling station if it makes you feel better.
Trying to eliminate the electoral college would likely lead to the dissolution of the union. It wasnt added arbitrarily.
Bullocks.
In 1969, Congress almost approved a constitutional amendment to get rid of the electoral college….

California Senate candidate and Congressmember Adam Schiff is calling for a major overhaul of American institutions, including getting rid of the Electoral College, expanding the Supreme Court and eliminating the filibuster.

NO. The United States is a Republic. NOT a democracy. Get over it with your commy ideas.
Thanks for your tax money.
I’m surely doing things with it that pisses you off.
TRB never suggested the US was not a Republic.
And nobody came anywhere close to promoting Communism.
You might want to make sure you know what words mean (and how they’re spelled) before you use them.
I’m not sure how the fact that it wasn’t able to be passed 55 years ago or that Adam Schiff supports it is any kind of proof that it would pass now
Trying to eliminate the electoral college would likely lead to the dissolution of the union.
My response was to the bold of your statement.
Constitutional amendments have so far not resulted in the end of America.
You never talked about the likelihood of ending the electoral.
That’s true, as long as it’s just something that gets talked about by people who don’t like the election results and is dying quietly within the actual halls of government then its no threat.
I think that if the federal government kicked it to the state legislatures and it looked like the amendment might make it we would see the dissolution of the union.
Weird assessment.
So by Schiffs amendment we could fulfill MTGs national divorce fantasy?
Feel free to try and explain that.
You think the red States would finally secede?
I don’t see a scenario where a dozen or so states would accept the end of their influence on the election of the president.
The US isn’t some magical country that is impervious to major political unrest. Our constitution is pretty well designed to balance a lot of diverse interests without leaving anyone feeling cut out. A major change to it, like eliminating the electoral college, changes that dynamic radically and leaves a lot of people cut out.
We fought a war within to end slavery.
A truly incredible event and victory.
What can’t handle the electoral being dismantled will adapt or leave.
It’s the best way.
We didn’t “fight a war to end slavery”. Around half the states left the union over a number of economic reasons, including the threat to their primary economic model (chattel slavery). And that resulted in a war in which the insurgent government in the south lost and those states were reintegrated into the union.
It was the deadliest war in American history.
I’d much rather see the union persist as it’s currently constituted, but if it’s going to dissolve I’d hope it could happen peacefully. That seems very unlikely though. Any good examples of national dissolution that was non violent?
We didn’t “fight a war to end slavery”
???
….the threat to their primary economic model (chattel slavery). And that resulted in a war….
?♂️
Let me clarify my understanding this way.
The confederacy seceded primarily because of slavery.
The United States did not accept that decision and fought a war to recapture those states for economically and militarily strategic reasons.
I don’t live in the confederacy, my country fought a civil war to maintain its economic interests and military/ territorial ambitions. Slavery was reduced to convicted criminals as a side effect of that war
But then how would I vote for my dead grandma 12 times?
You can’t.
I mean, I guess you could try. But none of the ballots cast for a dead person would be counted, and you’d face up to 60 years in prison for something that gained you absolutley nothing.
“None of the ballots cast for a dead person would be counted”… except where they are still on the registration rolls. And of course we’ve never see that!(some areas by the tens of thousands). As far as “the mail in system working just fine…”. You forgot about really close races where a few votes could make the difference. Especially problematic in smaller-local races. This is where you and the other stooges demand some citation of proof from places like RollingStone, even if you provided no proof with your original hot wind comment.
Speaking of proof.
You forgot to provide any in support of the things you made up.
Sand. Ostrich. Insert head. Breathe. Like I told you previously, your scheme of providing citations is the Democrats way of being lazy researchers. No need. Open laptop, turn on power, query duck duck go, find your own information. Realize life beyond Wiki and Snopes. Ban windmills, they kill birds and whales, look it up. Fact.
That’s a lot of words to just say you have no evidence to support the claims that are being made.
I guess I would have to know what she stood for , to get my vote. Im guessing not much lately. It sounds like you would be committing voter fraud though.
Ballot processing and 1% hand tally?
Mail in ballots are processed stating on Feb. 13 at 8:30 a.m? Is that a count? I thought they dont count all ballots until election day. Please explain ”ballot processing”
1% random hand tally sounds like a small number for a cross reference but open to some interesting definition.
They don’t count all ballots until election day.
This is just a test: “the Office of Elections tests ballots and equipment to ensure that all ballot types are read correctly and all ballot counting equipment is fully functional and tallying votes accurately.”
Here’s a bit more info on how the process works: https://votingsystems.cdn.sos.ca.gov/oversight/eop/june08/butte.pdf
Perhaps a reading class and therapy would help the mad-mob out.
They start tallying mail in votes on February 13 at 8:30 am
Panel of no more than two? Who will that be? Why only two?
You know that the elections office is a public office and you can go in there and talk to them about your questions right?
Hypothetically, if you were planning to run a corrupt election, what would you do differently than what they are doing?
You’d have to find a way to sneak in hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots.
So far, no one has been able to figure out how to do that.
Hypothetically, if you were running a completely transparent election, what could you do differently?
Good job Humboldt County.
Hire Trump.
Spot on……
Yeah, tell that bad orange man, man is he one bad orange amiright!?! Just like Bushmchimpyhaliburton! Oh wait, he is ok now, he said the man is a bad orange too!
