+OverSword Posted May 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Quote President Trump will arrive in Michigan today after threatening on Wednesday to withhold the state’s share of federal funding during a pandemic while falsely accusing officials of “voter fraud” because they mailed residents applications to obtain absentee ballots as a safety precaution. Trump, who is intent on wooing voters in the key Midwestern swing state, used a tweet to mistakenly accuse Michigan of mailing actual ballots to 7.7 million voting-age residents ahead of primary and general elections, when it was applications that arrived in mailboxes.

I got my absentee ballot in the mail because I got online and requested it, but they sent me an application for it in a mass mailing as well. They don't want to open any polls, in fact there is only one polling place open in the whole city on election day, and only 3 in the city for early voting with limited hours. Of course this only affects the states who wait until late spring and early summer to hold their primaries. Which is stupid. The primaries should be the same day in every state. I suspect the numbers would show a lot of difference if that were the case. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gromdor Posted May 21, 2020 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2020 You know he is bordering on vote tampering himself with this. Incumbent candidates running for an election aren't supposed to use their position to manipulate the rules of the election to favor themselves- especially when a situation is occurring that could needlessly endanger a voter's life. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted May 21, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The states are all responsible how they run voting and it's none of the presidents business. To threaten corona aid is just really unacceptable rhetoric. This is low even for trump, and that's saying something. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromdor Posted May 21, 2020 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2020 You know, I don't think Donald Trump ever really went out and voted over the years. It would go a long way to explaining his ignorance of the system. I have been doing absentee ballot for decades. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would wait in line a few hours with the "common" folk to show an ID and vote on a machine. He seems confused as to the difference between voting and voter registration for sure. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if Billy consistently gets away with it and convinces everybody that Alfie is the real trouble maker and forces him to change schools. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Posted May 21, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Looks like their are quite a few bugs that need to be worked out. South Carolina absentee ballots found in Baltimore; elections officials blame printer Absentee ballots from South Carolina were found in Maryland this week, and South Carolina officials are blaming a Minnesota printing company used by several heavily populated counties. The same vending is being blamed by Maryland officials for delays in delivering absentee ballots to the state for its June 2 primaries. About 20 absentee ballots for Charleston County somehow were delivered to officials in Baltimore, the Post and Courier reported this week. A state election board official said it’s just one of several problems with SeaChange Print Innovations of Minnesota, which prints and mails absentee ballots for 13 South Carolina counties. cont... https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/21/south-carolina-absentee-ballots-found-baltimore-el/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw where this was heading with tweety crying a while back that easier voting would keep rep from ever winning again, Corona will be here a while and non in person voting makes sense but when tweety losses bigly he can cry voter fraud and get his cult followers to grab they weapons then its katie bar the door, and since the idea is bigger than the reality the smoke clears and the winner is sworn in, tweety is then basically an interloper in the white house and can leave like a respectable man or get carried out baby trantrum style, his choice, Then he will be so busy trying to keep ahead of the myriad legal problems that were perched ready and waiting for him to end his presidency that he will long for the simpler times where he could just blame obama and call anyone who doesnt worship his every move a hater.

Also, the people who moved, women who got married and changed their names and college kids who are registered where they are going to school and their home town. Some people who have elderly parents fill out the ballots for them without their knowledge. I don't think it is feasible until all the loopholes are closed.

Do you think most people able to cheat will? I don't. Also that number is a meager fraction of the whole. May as well do it now because it is how it will be done in the future everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
