    All ballots must be postmarked by election day. Kinda like tax day. Remember how that works?

    The difference between Absentee and Mail in is that the voter has to request an Absentee ballot. Mailed ballots to everyone can go to even abandoned homes, including deceased people and cats. That way, more often extreme leftists can fill them out themselves.

    And yet it is how the modern world now operates. Integrity and self-restraint are gone, replaced by instant gratification by the masses. No one wishes to hear differing opinions, they merely wish to shout down anyone who does not agree with their preconceived notions of the world.

    For the simple fact that an opinion does not need to be offered.

    Or, and I'm just spitballing here, they expect Secretaries of State and county voter registrars to be, I don't know, fekkin' competent at their fekkin' jobs and avoid such stupidity. I know - silly me, right?

    True, but as we have seen with Ballot Harvesting, there has been rampant fraud. And, there are way too many people emotionally vested in turning elections towards their preferred candidate to trust Mail In Voting at this time and election.

    There has been so many. I understand if CNN failed to enlighten you on Mail In voting fraud. But yet, it is rampant.

    First 4 on Google:

    No, even her term would expire. It would fall to the Senate.

    Those are the same case.... If you post 3 links about the same thing, that doesn't make it 3 cases...

    Your first three links cover one case (multiple ballots) in one state in one election. But you sure can't trust those Republicans not to cheat, can you?

    As to the White House PDF:

    208 cases that involved mail-in ballots since 1988. 192 since 2000. 192 out of 250,000,000 mail-in ballots cast since 2000. That's 0.0000768 percent proven fraud over two decades. I can happily live with that. You can't? Maybe there's another reason you object to it?

    Oh, I'm quite sure he requires an audience. A tantrum is pointless without an audience. Ask any toddler - or drama queen.

    It is also outside of his constitutional authority.

    https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/tr...-district-suggests-foul-play-in-herman-cains/

    Angela Stanton-King, a former reality TV star and current Republican congressional candidate running in the late Rep. John Lewis’s district, posted a conspiratorial tweet on Thursday suggesting foul play in the death of Herman Cain, who earlier in the day passed away from COVID-19.


    “All the celebrities and Democrats catch COVID and magically heal,” Stanton-King wrote on Twitter. “But Herman Cain is dead! I swear I hate it here. I was right there with him. We were perfectly fine!!! This is WAR!!!”


    Stanton-King went on to say that it was unlikely that Cain caught COVID-19 at President Donald Trump’s rally — despite the fact that it was held indoors and Cain was not wearing a mask during the event — because white people supposedly don’t spread the disease as much.

    “Since COVID-19 disproportionately impacts Black people can someone explain to me how Herman Cain caught it around a bunch of white people,” she wrote. “And why none of the Democrats at George Floyd’s funeral caught it with thousands of black ppl and a dead body that was Covid positive?”


    Even though data show that Black Americans have been far more likely to die from the disease, there is no scientific evidence that white people are less likely to catch the disease and pass it on to others.

    I'm sure somebody could explain it to her, but why would anybody waste their time on this waste of space?

    Oh wow, more of the groups who wouldn't vote for him if he paid them huge gold bars have now taken leave of their senses.

    Among sane people, he continues to do poorly

    Post a link.... I know there is zero chance Trump is anywhere near 50% with Women in general, although doing much better with the one lacking college degrees

    This is now 7 weeks old, but it's still better than anything you produced...

    SNIP
    Biden is earning a historic amount of support from female voters for a presidential nominee when examining polling over the last 70 years.

    Biden is leading among female registered voters by 59% to 35%, a 25-point margin when the numbers aren't rounded.

    Pelosi's term isn't up. And she is the next in line, isn't she?

    Regardless, If Trump has not won another election then he is no longer President at noon of the 20th. This is why the President has to be inaugurated again.

    Ah. True. I misunderstood what I read. Of course, if I had thought it through.

    Speaker becomes president if there is no clear winner decided before Jan 20.

    I can't find any law on what happens if there were no election at all. Of course it would have to go to the Senate; I guess to the highest ranked Senator who wasn't up for election. It's a moot point; it won't get through Congress.
