    I seem to recall vanz mocking the notion of mail-in voting hampering being a made up fantasy cooked up by the left. Some people will never admit their gross mistakes.

    I don't recall that H4. I said way back in April before it was even on anyone's radar that if Covid didn't subside, it was going to cause a huge clusterfuck come election day. I think I said something to the effect of lines that normally run around the block in Atalanta we're now going to extend to Birmingham.

    I have maintained all along that the mail-in vote was ripe for fraud. I still maintain that. Where's the 'gross mistake'?

    And the last I looked, they were sub-contracting the Post-Office for Sunday delivery. :banghead:

  4. The dems are playing to a longer end game.

    The Holy Grail that they are looking for is to find a basis for enacting online voting. In that way, they will just have downloadable voting apps, maybe just a picture of the candidate (as in McDonalds they have pictures of the meal items on the cash register with buttons for those workers who cannot read or recognize numbers.) Online voting will bring the entire population of people who are uninformed and unmotivated into the process. In other words it favors democrats who would not walk across the street to vote on a sunny day but will text in a number to vote or whatever. I can guarantee ya that 99.9% of those who say they are terrified of going out to vote due to covid will be going out to Target or Walmart this weekend just fine, and many will hit the liquor store to get a little sumpin-sumpin. They will have to flash an ID to get it. The very same ID that dems allege that none of them have if it were needed for voting.

    It's a tricky balancing act this time around. Ideally they can continue to create total chaos at ballot time which will give them the pucker power needed to adopt online voting if they are elected. On the other hand, they have to be careful that the chaos does not result in Trump being elected. No siree. That would not be the desired outcome.

    They need to be careful about outsmarting themselves.

    Trump also is starting to wonder and talking two different games a little. He has started to get wind in his nostrils that this mail in voting may favor him.

    We don't know. We do know that the dems will impact the structure of the process in the name of improving it, and it will result in a total mess. Look no further than all their cities for that. There is a limit to the number of "improvements" by dems that any system can handle before collapsing. I think that is part of the Pivens-Cleavage theory as well, or whatever it is called.

    It will also, allow millions of illegals (foreigners) to vote without having to provide any ID and no one to challenge them?

    That’s Sudafed you see in Trump’s nose, not the wind.

    I’m not divulging any secrets here, the best Republican strategists know for a Republican to win a presidential election they have to boil the electorate down to base v base because marginal voters and unmotivated voters benefit democrats. High voter participation means a democrat wins.

    If Trump did have that idea in his mind Jared Kushner and Ronna Romney would fix it for him real quick because it would kill Republican tickets across the country.

  7. Depends on how "marginal" and how "unmotivated" voters are doesn't it Cowboy?

    Hillary had enough marginal and unmotivated voters to win the electoral college were it not for that pesky little problem of their being so marginal and so unmotivated that they did not vote. Of course, that brings us full circle because this is at the root of why the mail ballot is such a big issue.

    We can agree though that Joe has a pile of marginal and unmotivated voters. In many instances his base and the unmotivated are one and the same.

    No. The democrat base is much more enthusiastic than the republicans as it stands right now.

    I have to go ahead and sort of disagree. Yeah.

    Having just moved to my first republican area I'm amazed at the open support for Trump/Pence. Signs on ever other lawn. I've never actually seen a Trump sign on a lawn before having lived much of my life on the west coast. Treasure Coast is solidly and enthusiastically for Trump.

    I'm aware, however, that Florida is a mixed bag. There are plenty of democrat majority areas.

    If you placed a Trump sign on your west coast lawn you would probably have your home attacked in some way. For real.

    I've voted by mail for awhile in Oregon and felt ok about it. On a larger scale I'm not sure it would be secure. I think the USPS is needed and don't want to see regular mail privatized.
