Virginia Governor Race

If I post a voter fraud conviction in 2018 would you quit laughing?

Nobody can offer a compelling reason or need for voting…vague…early.

[Bosun]

Did you say anything? I think I missed it, Borgia_dude.

@Striker840

I don’t disagree as well. Question is what do we do to restore that faith?

I think one big step would be for Republican leaders to be honest and publicly call out Trump’s lies and finally kick him to the curb. It’s beyond time to move on from his toxic politics.

@Striker840

Voter ID would work wonders but somehow it is called suppression. How does one live in our society without an ID?

I agree, Democrats should drop their opposition to voter ID.

@Striker840

As far as absentee ballots, here in Ohio you have to request a ballot and click in a box as to why you want one.

I don’t oppose absentee and mail-in voting. I haven’t seen evidence that those methods are less secure.

@Striker840

Those ballots should be required to be postmarked by election day, no excuses as to why they cannot be and NO ballots should be counted if they are not postmarked in time.

Agreed.

@Striker840

Those ballots should be verified according to local election laws, counted, and secured in a secure facility for any challenges. Those numbers should be the first numbers reported after the polls close.

Yes there are details that would need worked out, but that would go a long way towards helping restore confidence in the process.

Maybe every other election there should be random auditing with a focus on looking for any trends that are outside of historical norms for that area that might indicate something is wrong.

Other than announcing mail-in ballot results first, aren’t most of these ideas already in place in most areas?

@Striker840

Finally on voter registration, no more same day registration. That window closes 7 days prior to election day, and all registrations are verified.

Does same-day registration lead to fraud? If so, I can see banning it, but I’m not sure it does. When you register on election day you have to provide the same proof of residence that you would have two weeks earlier.

@Striker840

Existing registration rolls need to be purged of any deaths, those that have moved out of the precinct and registration has been completed in their new one.

Agreed.

Lends itself to paying a bunch of homeless or other poor people to vote.

In Wisconsin and Minnesota you need to provide proof of residence to register to vote. How do homeless people do that?

Let’s go Brandon. How is the Brandon administration working out for ya?

Great post, right on topic.

Go get an ID from the PD.

See my edit.

[Striker840]

I agree with your first point. That needs done and done now. Trump lost, period.

On the point about looking at unusual trends etc. I am not sure if it is or isn’t being done. I would think if it was we would know about it. I am not talking about recounts, I am saying an outside firm with ZERO ties to any campaign in any way, shape, or form and a different one each time with set standards, procedures etc.

The rest as I said could be figured out, it was just thoughts I have had.

How do they prove they are residents?

[Oryx]

@zantax

See my edit.

Homeless people can’t same-day register because they don’t have proof of residence. As for paying poor people to vote, why is that more likely to happen on election day rather than two weeks before?

[Oryx]

@Call_me_Ishmael

How do they prove they are residents?

A state ID or a utility bill with their name on it. Maybe other ways, I’m not sure.

[Bosun]

It was your opening line was something about dissing (former) President Trump. Follow the bouncing ball.

@WuWei

Be honest. Just say it in plain English.

Pretty sure I typed both words in this thread.

Don’t beg.

@WuWei

Anybody who claims that institutional racism still exists is either

1. A crit and full of crap
2. Stupid enough to not know what “institutional” means

It does… see the justice system. Systemic racism does require that the participants are themselves racist. Systems that perpetuate disproportionately discriminative outcomes are a problem.

The problem I have is when people fight against those changes. That tells me either:

1. They don’t want to understand it
2. They think they understand it and believe that makes THEM racist
3. They understand it and want to continue it because they are racist (this is a small subsection)

In other words, sometimes people come off as racist because they incessantly fight against changes in the system that remove the disproportionate racial/sex impact. Literally at every point in US history… freeing slaves, making them citizens, voting rights, eliminating Jim Crow, woman’s rights, gay rights, etc.

@WuWei

You and I both know this whole thing is a money making scam originally designed to protect affirmative action after institutional racism ended.

Affirmative action benefits white woman more than any other group. This benefits white men by proximity.

@WuWei

It worked. Black women are way over represented in advanced degrees - guess what kind of degrees… go on, guess.

Black woman were also the last group to get equal rights.

@WuWei

This CRT is a cash cow. The goose with golden eggs. Critical Pedagogy of CRT is necessary to perpetuate the grift

You just heard of CRT a year ago… stop playing.

Cash cow . Social movements existed long before CRT existed. Systemic racism; racism, oppression; intersectionality were not terms that came to existence by virtue of CRT.

Again… you are giving CRT too much credit and that is by design. Following Rufos playbook to the T.

@WuWei

And that fact makes it evil. Especially when it’s done to kids. For power.

What is being done to kids? Be specific.

Anti discriminatory lessons? Are those CRT?

How far back do you need to go?

@WuWei

Crits are users. Arrogant, ignorant users. And I hope every single state passes a law prohibiting it.

This is really weird. By your own admission… it’s not the curriculum that’s the problem… it’s the lens… the application of CRT. How does legislation stop that without stopping the teaching of black history? (Queue…why do I need to learn black history)

[Bosun]

Systematic baloney.

The wages wouldn’t be so low absent illegals, how is this difficult?

I’m against it. Wish more Republicans were.

Yep the white supremacist voted her in.
