Vote-By-Mail Battle Intensifies: Protesters Gather at Home of Postmaster General After Dems Complain

Peoples biometrics change. They get old. They get cataracts. They get scars on their fingers. Their signatures change. They color their hair. They have lasix surgery.

You raise some good points. I’m imagining someone in the position of their recorded metrics not agreeing with their current ones. Great way to get locked out of ones life.

PaulinVA . . .

And, I’d settle for the Carter Center, if they’re not busy.

Like I said. This is about politics. Manipulation for political gain by the national left.

If you readers want to see pleas for external oversight,
tell PaulinVA to ask for Don Jr. to set up “oversight”. See how fast that materializes.

Politics.

There is nothing that suggests this threat to our system is necessary.

LeafByNiggle . . .

There is nothing suggest that it is a threat, except groundless accusations by Trump.

I have posted several posts and threads on this. After while, people realize, it doesn’t matter to you WHAT the real threats are.

Cathoholic . . .

It is a ploy to steal an election.

LeafByNiggle . . .

Correction: a ploy to win the election fair and square.

To the readers. The left cannot win an election fair and square. That is WHY they need to constantly attempt to fool you.

That is why despite control of the media, big commuication/social media, schools, higher education, the arts, etc. the left, they still struggle to win.

Cathoholic on another leftist idea . . .

Just like siging up felons to vote.

LeafByNiggle’s response?

As they should be.

To the readers. Remember that. Leaf thinks Felons ought to be voting. (I am going to remember this support of this idea by you LeafByNiggle. Covfefe)

Leaf. I think you should email Biden
to run on that platform.
Bernie was open about it, and I think it helped kill his chances politically.

Why not ask Joe to run on what
you admit you think “should be” - that is, Felons voting.

Which is why I wish states would require people to re-register for every election. None of this you can register once and it lasts for 50 years.

Do you mean every two years? How about every 10 years? US passports are good for 10 years even though I’m sure that a person’s appearance changes a little in 10 years.

Liz Wheeler (below) talking about the same phenomenon – the left refusing to run on their ideas. Ideas like sexual deviancy, abortion support, TPP, advocating HUGE Business, rioting to get your way, etc. etc.

I don’t know. Your President is saying that the Democrats are trying to steal the election. I would think your side would welcome election observers.

If you readers want to see pleas for external oversight,
tell PaulinVA to ask for Don Jr. to set up “oversight”. See how fast that materializes

If that was a joke, I don’t get it.

People who have completed their sentences and paid their debt to society certainly should be able to vote. Other than life without parole, a criminal sentence is for a certain period of time. It doesn’t say “except for voting, that’s forever.”

You can put me right beside Leaf on your list of those who believe in fairness and redemption.

Or a decent web camera.

In requiring an ID is too onerous to vote, according to most liberal voting rights groups, a webcam would never fly either.

Felons having the right to vote after they have completed their sentence is already the law of the land in 19 states, including some red states. It is not a “leftist idea.”

to run on that platform.

There is no need. It is already a mainstream idea. It is like coming out against slavery.

Yes, every two years. You wouldn’t have to worry bereaved family members with telling the board of elections that someone died, people would use their current addresses, signature matching would make more sense (my signature from even 10 years ago does not match my current signature).

There was some program built under the Obama administration that makes basic smart phones available to low income adults. Still, there exists those that are uncomfortable with anything more than a basic phone. I’ll take the unpopular position that no one solution will fit everyone. Some people will have to consider other options.

 

[Anesti33]

Ah, the so-called Obamaphone. It’s actually a program from the 1930s. It would appropriately be called a Reaganophone.

A short history of the ‘Obamaphone’

The so-called "Obamaphone" is back into the news in recent days because of a GAO report on the Federal Communication Commission's Lifeline program.

There’s a huge difference between universal mail in and absentee voting. With absentee voting, each individual has to personally request a ballot. No one has a problem with that. With universal mail in voting, every single person in the voter roles will get sent a ballot.

Apparently there are several kinds of mail-in voting. When it first started during the Civil War, it was called “absentee voting” and it was reserved only for those like soldiers in the field who could not be present for in-person voting.

Over the years the requirement for a verifiable excuse was done away with and now absentee ballots are “no excuse” ballots, and many states now call that simply “mail-in voting” and the term “absentee” is eliminated.

I thought that is what was meant by “universal mail-in voting”, meaning that everyone had a right to use it with our without an excuse as to why they did not want to show up in person. I am very glad to hear that I was wrong and that no one has a problem with mail-in voting as long as the voter requests the ballot (and presumably does not have to jump through hoops to make that request either, like show up in person to make that request.)

The attacks on the postal system however threatens not only universal mail-in voting, but also no-excuse mail-in voting where the voter requests the ballot. The same postal system delivers both kinds of ballots once they are filled out, and slow-downs in the postal system will affect them too, as well as the delivery of medicines to veterans, social security checks, and countless other essential services. To quote Violet Evergarden, there is no letter that does not deserve to be delivered.

Felons voting IS a leftist idea. The “red state” thing is meaningless (at least to me).

There are plenty of leftists within the Republican ranks.

The fact that this is OKed in 19 states just proves my point. It is being steamrolled.

I think Biden should run on that (like Bernie was).

To our black friends here.

Here ya go!

LeafByNiggle putting felons voting in the same context as slavery.

Here is the quote so you can see it yourself . . .

There is no need. It (felons voting) is already a mainstream idea. It is like coming out against slavery.

Parenthetical added for context.

I was wrong when I said felons can vote in only 19 states. I was misreading this map. In fact, there are only 3 states in which all people with felony convictions are permanently disenfranchised from voting: Iowa, Kentucky, and Virginia. In 6 other states, some people with felony convictions cannot vote. In all other states, felons can vote at some point.

It is being steamrolled.

Some people still think we were steamrolled into giving women the vote.

How exactly was it “steamrolled?” By who? In which states?

 

[Cathoholic]

To the readers here. puer.dei posted felons should have their voting rights because puer.dei believes in “fairness” and “redemption”.

Here it is . . .

People who have completed their sentences and paid their debt to society certainly should be able to vote. Other than life without parole, a criminal sentence is for a certain period of time. It doesn’t say “except for voting, that’s forever.”

You can put me right beside Leaf on your list of those who believe in fairness and redemption.

Redemption. Sure. Fairness. OK.

I will believe your actions say that
when you are calling for felons to have their Second Amendment rights restored too!

And for the same reason. Because of your belief in “fairness” and “redemption” of the felons.

Wow! Total avoidance of answering my question!
