Other states need to do what Ohio does. I think I’ve got this right. The Ohio Secretary of State was doing an interview about the process here. The absentee ballots, when received, are signature matched to the signature on file for the registered voter. If everything is in order, they are locked up in a room at each county board of elections that can only be accessed by two keys, one held by the election official from the Democratic Party and one held by the official from the Republican Party. When the polls close on Election Day, they are the first ballots counted by running through the scanners at each location. He said one of the counties even has a pneumatic press that the ballots are put under to smooth out the folds from being mailed so they’ll run through the scanners more efficiently.Quote:

If a ballot just has to be postmarked by election day, it might take 2-5 days for it to arrive at the Board of Elections. We'd be saying the same thing two decades earlier when Republicans were dominating absentee/mail-in voting (albeit on a smaller scale).Quote:

Twitter’s new verification system is slowly imploding, but it is early enough it is just hilarious and not quite dangerous yet. https://twitter.com/dieworkwear/stat...C2Loajs0B5wwEw
I have no idea on AZ. From what I'm reading it could break hard the other way as most of the AZ ballots are day of "mail ins" because the voting machines had issues there (again).Quote:

Stick a fork in Masters.
Trump has poisoned this election and the party. No doubt the Republican establishment is done playing silly games with this guy and there will be fireworks of open criticism of him when the smoke clears....and that's a good thing. HOWEVER, it's going to really piss off the hard core supporters in his base and essentially split the party.
Trump has officially lost the ability to win anything going forward. If this is the case, is there any chance he shows any dignity? Of course not. He'll punch back like always and create chaos like always. One thing for sure, his absurd ego will not allow him to do what's best for the party. The horror is, I think he goes on a 2 year rampage and runs as a Independent. Total shitshow.
On the bright side, only 7 more seats needed to EEK OUT House control and send Hagatha Pelosi packing.
Total shitshow.
Is EEK OUT the same thing as a tsunami?
No....squirt gun.Quote:
