    I haven't heard him say either of those things. Meanwhile, I have seen Trump fighting to restrict voter access.

    Exactly, we’ve been doing mail in voting for years. I always take mine to a drop box. Sometimes jobs or kids prevent people from getting to a polling station.
    They are just worried the average voter will interfere with the election results. Lol

    I trust the system to put some of the people who follow his advice behind bars.

    I must not be a functioning adult if I don't have a melt down every time Trump says something stupid. His tongue in cheek comment doesn't hold weight in my mind, but I do understand the emotional, predictable reaction from the other side that supports a different elderly sex offender that says stupid things!

    BTW, how long do you think catching these crimes would take if people really did vote twice? Longer than the Bush/Gore hanging chad issue?

    And I gots bad news for ewe.... Biden isn't going to lose except by Trump and Republicans stealing the election. But this time even that won't stand. You have only 2 months to wait to find out.

    So in your twisted story it's ok to officially ask people to commit a crime. :roflol:

    Unlike you, Trump realized later that his statement had been idiotic, so he did what he had to do. He claimed it was a "joke", but anyone with any objective intelligence knows it wasn't presented as a joke, just like his idea of injecting disinfectant and his claim of COVID being a "hoax".

    Dear Vladimir Putin, if you're listening, please hack the election, the DNC's emails, and send them to Wikileaks. Then send in a boatload of mail in ballots for Trump.

    Thank you, America

    You're the one giving weight to Trumps words. Some of us think politicians are full of crap and don't have a meltdown every time he opens his mouth!

    Anyone with objective intelligence would not make claims that call for the operation of the mind.

    By controlling the location, hours, amount of equipment, etc. elected officials can control which locations will find it easier to vote.

    With the highly specific polling data now available, those in charge can decided whether YOUR polling place will have long or short lines, will be in a place that requires a car to get to, has hours where you will have to miss work (which amounts to a poll tax) if you are an hourly wage earner - but not if you are a salaried employee, as they are allowed to leave work to vote without losing income.

    Etc.

    Vote by mail means that we all get equal access to voting.

    And, THAT is why they oppose it.

    Exactly.

    There is ZERO possibility of interpreting that as encouraging noncitizens to vote.

    And yet obama did it. He told illegal aliens to vote. There is no other way to look at it.

    He addresses the ladies question and then elaborates on how privacies will not be infringed on, pretty much encompassing everyone SHE lists ;)

    That's a VERY legitimate issue, as well. I feel better about absentee and in person voting because there are at least SOME checks.

    With cheat-by-mail, they're just bulk mailing ballots to addresses without verifying who the heck lives there. It's a step backwards, not forwards, in terms of security.

    Illegal voter access, sure. It should be restricted.

    It requires a lot of twisted interpretation to get to your conclusion to get to your conclusion.

    A non-tortured, plain interpretation of what he said is that you can only vote if you are a citizen, and who you vote for is confidential. Pretty un controversial.

    So ... nothing from you on what I stated in that post? Just more snark?

    My bad. I gave too much credit and hoped for a civil debate on Trump telling his base to commit a federal crime.

    Geebus. How silly.

    A link proving the "gross incompetence" you claimed about the USPS.

    So you want our President's words to carry no weight and be meaningless? My God, the bar has been moved to the very bottom since Trump was elected.

    What's sad is that you are ok with this type of person leading our Country.
