Everybody starts from a biased viewpoint Nepperhan.
Not true! A journalist seeks to find out what happened.
This conclusion does not follow Nepperhan.
The rules say that messages must be polite and free from personal attacks. You mention my screen name twice in one post and its not personal? OK, if that’s what you want to believe.
I have followed those rules here judiciously.
Not only is that the exact same conclusion I come to as well (from what their actions say to me), but I think they are worried that a LOT of voters will come to the same conclusion as well (making it a lot tougher for national Democrats and the FAKE news industrial complex to keep fooling as many voters as they do. This along with many other things, really expose the mail-in voting problem for what it is. Very open to fraudulent voting behavior.).
I suppose I should have added in Project Veritas too.
That’s a bit of a wide brush. People may find absentee ballots beneficial or preferred for a number of reasons. Limited availability of voting machines and long waits, transportation issues, and conflicts with taking time off from work are among them since absentee ballots help alleviate these problems. Ofcourse, for someone avoiding crowds, absentee ballots may also be preferred.
Hmm, sounds like he could work for the NYT.
Good job conflating absentee voting with mail-in voting.
I refer to “absentee ballots” because that is what at home are considered. And they are not necessarily returned by mail. In many states (including my own) I have the option of taking the ballot to one of many county locations to deposit my ballot. My family and I have no intentions of using USPS to return our ballots. One also has the option of going to a number of county locations to complete out what is still considered an absentee ballot. The advantage of this is these locations are open across three weeks and have lower wait times than election day, and a person is not limited to only being able to use a single location assigned to them.
You are describing "all-mail elections. "
You vote using paper ballots at the polling locations?
This may be a difference in semantics, but where I am, sending in a ballot via mail, taking a paper ballot to a county location ones self , or voting in a polling place before election date are all forms of absentee voting. The wider availability of physical locations to each person and flexibility in getting a vote into the county addresses the problems I mentioned earlier. Some are not willing to wait in a line for several hours when there are alternative options that take moments. Paper ballots may or may not be sent in by mail. We do not automatically receive paper ballots. They must be requested either online or via a form or written note sent by USPS.
That’s fine. My original point was that there are valid and non-singular motivations for encouraging the availability of alternatives to voting in person on election day. The availability of these alternatives allow more people to be involved in the democratic process.
That’s not quite the argument. If PV were merely “reporting”, then their reports could be independently verified. The Minneapolis Police are investigating right now. If they can confirm it, then maybe there is something to it. As it is, all we have is a purpose-edited video made by PV, a known open advocate of right-wing causes. Such charges should be put on the same level as a charges put forth by the DNC. You don’t expect the DNC to be a reliable source for objective reporting, do you? If I see a claim by the DNC of criminal wrongdoing by Republicans, I would not take that claim on face value until it was independently verified. Neither should Republicans take PV claims at face value until verified.
It is on video, it’s quite beyond making accusations.
It is just somebody talking, bragging. What it means is up to one’s imagination.
