    And what does Trump do when challenged? Every personality trait Trumpers try to attack Biden over, Trump is at least 3x worse. You can't make this stuff up.

    That might be acceptable, but the exact same thing happened in the primaries last month, there was time to plan (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ast-long-lines-other-malfunctions/5332904002/)

    Fairly obvious what the intent was, and wait till Wisconsin votes, it will be worse

    Pretty obvious, “race is one of the strongest predictors of how long a person waits in line to vote,” which coincidentally seems to occur in districts controlled by Republicans

    FWIW, thats what used to drive me crazy on election day, we'd have all these retired old farts in line when it opens, with a bunch of us working folks blended in, dressed in work clothes, hoping to knock it out quick then head to the job, but the grey hairs hold us up when we know that they likely have all day to handle the task. Its why I appreciate the early voting expansion we did, multiple sites open for several hours, now I can zip in and out and if there is a line out the door I just keep on truckin and try another day or on my way back from whatever errand.

    Our county election supervisor is great, we had issues in 08' (very busy election) we complained mightily and so did the local press, we ended up replacing the election supervisor, the BOCC expanded funding, now we have multiple locations for early voting to the point that election day itself goes really really smooth because so many of us banged it out early.

    Cite where Biden said “voters don’t deserve to know” and applied it across to all issues

    But a candidate promising Mexico was going to pay for a wall knowing full well Mexico was never going to pay for anything deserved the position

    Pure fabrication, mail boxes or even Trump was never mentioned in the topic post

    And Trump doesn’t? When Biden gets around to personally attacking large sections of the population of the US as “evil” and “traitors” get back to us

    as I mentioned in another post, from what I'm aware of 95% of the election related responsibilities fall on my county election supervisor, and of course each city inside has a dept as well. It is literally their Job and their Responsibility to perform perform their duties promptly, courteously and honestly. there is a whole department of people with a big budget, if there is a failure then I know exactly who to blame.

    There is a reason why the left lacks the array of radio and TV demagogues that characterizes the right, they don’t need someone to tell them how to think

    Why make it difficult if it could be made easier?

    Once is all it takes. If you as a candidate feel that we don't need to know where you stand on a particular issue then you don't deserve my vote. It's that simple.

    Do you criticize him for the same things you criticize Biden for?

    Not in this thread, no. So fair enough, I suppose.

    This thread didn't hilariously claim Trump was a uniter for all of America like it did with Biden.

    Ok, why make gun ownership hard when it could be easier? Let's explore your theory...

    Why are people rushing to the polling place on the first day to vote? I thought the purpose of the extended voting time was so people wouldn't be limited to everyone on one day standing in line.

    They have THREE WEEKS, the purpose of the three weeks was so everyone did not have to go on one day.

    I’m talking about voting.
    Is there a reason to make it more difficult for people to vote than is necessary?

    Laughable. Thanks for the demonstration.
