And, the USPS announced all changes are on hold until after the election.

That, and the Senate has the postmaster general in for a hearing Friday and the House Monday.

They were found out. Basically, this wouldn’t have happened as fast if Trump had kept hisTwitter mouth shut.

I would think your side would welcome election observers.

We HAVE election observers. They are called precinct officers.

I would think your side would welcome voter identification for those “fair and square” elections that your guys pretend to want.

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.

If what you said about Jimmy Carter was serious, I am serious.

And I don’t care about Jimmy’s organization being involved with overseas elections in the past either.

So if you are really big on election oversight (I don’t really think you are. I think from your actions of calling for Jimmy Carter, you are for Democrat oversight),
call out for Don Jr. to organize and oversee the election.

What is going to happen is Biden will get his lunch handed to him, and the left will invent another cornucopia of new conspiracy theories.

Jimmy Carter is NOT is not some apolitical neutral person . . . .

Pro tip? Here’s one: when you decry mail-in ballots and then send mailers with your pic on them encouraging voters to get mail-in ballots, you tend to argue against your own point.

Do you understand there is a difference between vote-by-mail and absentee mail-in ballots Frank?

In fact, wanting to avoid coronavirus ought to be an adequate reason for anyone to vote absentee.

In fact, wanting to avoid coronavirus ought to be an adequate reason for anyone to riot absentee too.

But voting absentee is different than vote by mail. And we both know that.

There is a difference between universal mail-in voting (where ballots are mailed to all registered voters) and normal mail-in voting (where the voter has to request a ballot). But in most places there is no difference today between “absentee voting” (where the voter has to present proof of a valid excuse) and “mail-in voting” (where the voter needs no excuse whatsoever.) I don’t recall Trump saying anything against normal (no excuse) voting either. I am satisfied to limit mail-in voting to those who request a ballot, and thus is not universal mail-in voting.

So, Voter ID is a fallacy. It provides no benefit for in-person voting security. It does help speed processing my county, because they have an iPad app that reads the bar code on the license to get the voter information.

But, at least in my county, they check who I say I am against the voter roles, verify my name and address, and mark me off as voted. Pretty nifty, huh?

If Republicans were advocating that one shows proof of citizenship at time of registration, I might be persuaded, otherwise demanding an ID is just suppression.

All the better to minimize line time.

What are they called? Election officials?

Whatever they are called I personally know some of them locally.

As I said. We already have election observers.

Observing Elections​

Impartial, credible election observers play a key role in shaping perceptions about the quality and legitimacy of electoral processes. The Carter Center has been a pioneer of election observation, monitoring more than 110 elections in Africa, Latin America, and Asia since 1989 and forging many of the techniques now common to the field. To ensure a meaningful, nonpartisan role for its election observation activities, The Carter Center must be invited by a country’s election authorities and welcomed by the major political parties.

Election observation missions start long before election day, with experts and long-term observers analyzing election laws, assessing voter education and registration, evaluating fairness in campaigns, and monitoring the impact of social media. On election day, observers assess the casting and counting of ballots. In the days and weeks after the election, observers monitor the tabulation process, electoral dispute resolution, and the publication of final results. Before, during, and after an election, the Center’s findings are reported through public statements.

I also want to repeat . . .

(I wouldn’t favor that either, but we will then have the discussion. But for now, I cannot even take your proposal seriously.)
