If the masses can go to the food stores and Walmart in person then they can vote in person. If they choose not to well, that's up to them. Now let me tell you about my own personal voting story, I went to my local polling place, I had my ID checked (remember that), I was instructed on how to use the "new machine"( I saw nothing wrong with the old ones), I completed my ballot and it spit out a coded piece of paper that I was instructed to feed into the slot on the machine, I got a receipt for my ballot. Easy enough, done. The receipt was a jumble of numbers and an icon that meant nothing to me. 2 weeks later, I personally contacted the state out of curiosity and spoke to a lady just to see the status of my vote. I was told that there was no way of determining that status. After going around for a few minutes, she checked the voting records for my county and my name and I was told that I didn't vote! I said that I had my receipt! That doesn't mean anything. I contacted my Congressman and told him the situation. He explained to me that THAT is one of the reasons that he would be contesting the Pennsylvania vote in Congress. How did THAT work out for me?

You're being naive on purpose. There's no way any person with a smidgen of common sense beleives that elections aren't rigged. Elections are rigged for high school class president for heaven's sake. Did Daily ever get prosecuted for the 1960 election? Did anyone? Humans have an infinite capacity to justify things. Almost always they justify bad behaviors. The honest and courageous person confronts their justifications and calls them out for what they are. |

On the positive side, around 70 % of voters actually voted last month. That's a huge step in the right direction. I think that is the most in any of our lifetimes.

Alright smart A***. What percentage did? And where did you get your info ?
The turnout rate is estimated to be 66.5% of eligible voters, the highest since 1900, according to the United States Elections Project. Presidential Turnout Rate Since 1860 The rate of turnout in 2020, based the eligible voter population, is the highest it’s been in more than a century.

Apples and Oranges, In 1900 the percentage of "eligible" voters of the total population was was way, way less than today due to the "Poll Tax" , hence the 73.7 % Just for laughs, think about this, In the era of the Poll tax, to be eligible to vote you had to either own property, serve in military, pay some type of taxes etc. other wise you paid the poll tax to be able to vote.. lets forward this to 2020, what would the Total voter eligibility number and the turnout Percentage be if the poll tax was still in force and the fee was say $20 for all those who didn't qualify otherwise. oh and no Internet or Social Media just like in 1900. Ironically , This 2020 election, Pennsylvania, one of the controversy states, the had the Poll tax in place until 1933 !! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poll_t...s#cite_note-28

There are many voting districts that brought near 100% and greater than 100% turnout. I'm not talking towns with 25 people either. Take a look at the raw numbers. Trump got what 75 millions votes. That's the largest percentage of any incumbent in our nation's history but Biden got 80 million votes? Does anyone really believe that Biden not only outperformed Trump but got about 10 million or so more votes than Barack Obama in 2008? Never happened. Before anyone thinks that people's outrage over this election has to do with Trump it's not. It has little to do with Trump and everything to do with losing our only voice against tyranny. I posted before that this ain't a sporting event where people defend their team despite cheating or cheap shots. This is real and in everyone's face. They didn't even try to hide what went down. Democrats and republicans. It should concern everyone but it doesn't because people don't care but they will one day. |
