no they haven't. it has frequently been a problem since the scummy Repub. have figured out that if everyone votes they won't win.

Aug 3rd 2018. The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud, according to an analysis of administration documents released Friday.

I guess they to suffer TDS. While the avg Trump supporters suffer from the lack of. Facts

I joked that next, the democrats will want to pay people to vote(the ones that they don't already pay to do so)...but apparently they've introduced legislation...


Senator Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) tweeted, pivoting to promote his own piece of legislation — which would pay voters $100 to wait in line for at least 90 minutes.

The "People Over Long Lines" Act

I'd like this applied to convenience stores...it is ridiculous that I have to stand in line and wait to hand the clerk $1.10 for the coffee that I got myself while some moron can't decide which scratch ticket he/she wants....and the GOVERNMENT is the source of the scratch tickets...which means the government is keeping me for getting my Constitutionally guaranteed coffee(pursuit of happiness)...

So if Trump wins can I say he not legitimate POTUS because of all the Fraud he and his supporters insist is going to happen ?

Or will this Fraud only materialize or be considered if Trump losses?

you can say whatever you want...it's America

just don't spray paint stuff, smash windows, burn buildings, block roadways, assault others and generally annoy other Americans who don't want to be annoyed by you because that would be wrong....

Let me make this connection for you.

The 200+ Federal Judges Donald Trump appointed with Mitch McConnell ARE THE JUDGES voting to suppress votes nationwide, including Texas. All three of those judges were Trump appointees.

I doubt that what they decided on was actually labeled or used the phrase "voter suppression." What was important is whether or not whatever was being litigated was constitutional or legal.

Saw an interview with the Texas lt Governor over the Drop box issue . This was the question to him

You dont see the issue of 1 drop box for a county the size of RI having 1 drop box yet another county with 200 people also get 1 drop box

He said no I see no issue
Then went on to complain about voter fraud with out evidence.

you can really feel the enthusiasm for the democrat ticket!!!


Kamala Harris was in Asheville, NC on Wednesday for a campaign rally ina hotly contested state, but almost nobody showed up. The cameras, upon zooming out and panning around at the get-out the vote event, showed just six people present.

Joe and Kamala have more secret service members at their campaign events than supporters

love how she says "hi, asheville"...when 99.994% of asheville(pop around 100,000) isn't there

Maybe the locals got the Proud Boys email saying vote for Trump or else. I guess they aren’t standing by any longer.

that would be the least likely reason....the most likely reason is that nobody likes her and she's running as part of the worst ticket in American presidential election history ....but don't worry biden/harris is leading by like 27 points nationally


weren't those supposed proud boyz emails actually from iran?...probably using money obama gave them

How do you judge the worst administration, seems to me there is a pattern and your side might be winning in the most corrupt race.

So...Ratcliffe’s claim is that, because Americans identify Trump with the Proud Boys, Iranian-spoofed Proud Boys emails threatening Dems were intended to hurt TRUMP in the election?

That’s supposed to be a good argument for Trump—that Americans identify him with neo-fascists??

A jury — one that was sequestered and kept anonymous — heard secret recordings investigators had made. In them, Teflon Don threatened violence and retaliation and made it clear that those who flouted him would pay a heavy price. He pledged to fight the investigators “tooth and nail to the end,” and his spokesman claimed he was the victim of a class war. “He didn’t go to Harvard. He didn’t go to Yale. This is the way these men talk,” the attorney said. “They are snippets of much larger conversations that were deliberately taken out of context … Those isolated phrases don’t mean what the prosecutors say they mean. They are not evidence of criminality.”

Sound familiar, that guy shared a lawyer with the current occupier of the White House.

and in Tx there is 1 drop box in a county of millions over 100s of miles. So if you mail it by 11/3 it has to get there by 11/4 w/a postal service that has been politicized or won't count. Seems like there should be more drop boxes.

Again, you don't know someone's individual situation.

It is hard.

I assume people are adults and can handle this simple task...


(CNN)The Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's order to limit mail-in ballot drop box locations to one site per county, a decision that largely affects the Houston and Austin areas.

The court ruled that Abbott's order "provides Texas voters more ways to vote in the November 3 election than does the Election Code" and that it doesn't "disenfranchise anyone."

Opponents of Abbott's order had argued it exceeded the governor's authority and also created an unjust burden on voters in larger counties to travel far distances to drop off their ballots. Critics also argued it increased voters' risk of contracting Covid-19.


The court did not agree with the plaintiffs' argument that the governor's order had exceeded his authority, nor that the order "severely" burdened voters and their right to vote.

"The plaintiffs complain that limiting early hand-deliveries of mail-in ballots to one office per county requires more travel time for some voters. But this ignores the other options for casting their ballots that these voters have," the opinion read. It noted that voters can also vote in person for an expanded period of time than usual, drop off their mail-in ballot in a 45-day window before Election Day rather than on November 3 only, and also mail in their ballots.

The court also argued the risk of mailing the ballot is "small," and "voters who are worried about it can mail their ballots in plenty of time before Election Day to eliminate the chance of untimely delivery."

Just shows the Repub. want to limit voting as much as they can. Why does it have to "severely" burden votes. States should try to do everything in their power to no burden voters at all.

Not surprising a Repub. state court would show no empathy for someone whose situation is different from theirs.
