I’m sorry my catching up offended you. Sincerely the librarian 🤓

No one here gets offended who didn't come in offended. Lol

Well, you're in the right place for them. I find their ideas refreshing, albeit simple, from my uninitiated perspective. It's interesting.
@RobertGrulerEsq Do you think background checks for voter registration would pass strict scrutiny?
@WatchingYouDaily No. Strict scrutiny is a very strict standard. That would be way too overbroad. You can be convicted of a misdemeanor and still retain your voting rights and there are already mechanisms in place to disqualify felons, etc.
Interesting question though. Taking it one step further, the next question would be - what about for poll watchers or election center workers? I think there is a much better argument there because it is narrowly tailored.

@RobertGrulerEsq That would work require a background investigation into pool watchers or election center workers. However if background investigations to possess a firearm or get a CPL have passed strict scrutiny one would think it can apply to voter registration. The mechanisms for felons varies from state to state there is no consistency.
Id someone takes my votes away because some poll watcher doesn't pass muster, we're going to have a problem.
On the flip side if you have a former felon convicted of fraud / crime of dishonesty counting ballots that might make people uneasy.
Absolutely. Lock them up for that. Also, demonstrate that the are both a felon *and* have committed some kind of vote counting malfeasance and lock them up for that too.
Interesting article in interfax: *"The split of the United States following the presidential elections can lead to the loss of a single political center, which will sharply raise the question of the controllability of the American system. Who will obey the military of the huge American army, if there is no commander-in-chief, or there will be two or three of them at once? [...]" - said Shchipkov on the air of the TV channel "Spas"."*
intersting
the russians are either concerned, or are playing concerned.
"Moscow. November 5. INTERFAX.RU - The world community will have to think about control over US nuclear weapons in the event of a civil confrontation due to the results of the presidential elections in the States and the loss of control over the country, which is fraught with dire consequences, said Alexander Shchipkov, First Deputy Chairman of the Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and the Media "
First paragraph of that article
I can translate more if anyone is interested
@leftingfighter33 trump is closing the gap but its looking really right. Might not be able to close the gap but he is defenitely gaining
Tight *
@Sam (VVG_TV) cool
I drew lines
but he has to win PA
and PA isn't looking good
NC is a maybe
GA is maybe last time I checked
he must win AZ or NE and both are maybe
obviously flipping WI via court or something would be useful
I just can’t help but feel like if votes have been destroyed like in that video I posted it is a no win situation and I can’t help but feel disheartened by what I’ve seen with my own eyes because I don’t care if the votes I witnessed were for Mickey Mouse being thrown away this is the whole cornerstone of our society and it’s such a precious right and to be mocked by flipping it off. This election is forever corrupted now based on what I’ve seen and maybe I am a bleeding heart constitutionalist but this whole political story of the 2020 election is really heartbreaking for what our political system has come to. <#771201221145919499> #endrant
is arizona still in play
Sorry had to be emotional yall 🇺🇸💔
@LrnAshly i agree with you. I dont currently have any faith in the election. And see every "mistake" be pro biden, it makes me super suspicious. The only thing keeping me positive is that i dont see evidence that there is such widespread voter fraud. But it be nice to have faith in the election process
It’s like such a disheartening place to sit with and in
there is too much sarcasm to make sense of what you are saying @Zuluzeit
@shaunm109 from the numbers, it seems like yes, though some people might know more about what kinds of votes and from where are left to count and know more
@realz which part of it isn't part of the plan?
