Does election fraud even happen? I’ve always heard that it rarely ever happens.
I always had the feeling no one was looking very hard. third parties can't verify because they aren't allowed access to voting info (for good reason). Only the FBI can investigate. In cases where you hear about stacks of absentee ballots being "accidently" delivered somewhere, there are no follow ups and considered isolated. Also we never get to hear about who dead people voted for when they find a dead person voted (who are they protecting at that point).
I guess so. I’ve always thought that claim was a bit fishy anyways. How do you know if fraud has been committed if you don’t have a way to check the identity of the voter? Also, I wonder if some people do door to door campaigning after ballots have been mailed out in states that do that.
On a state level there is a political fight over purging voter rolls. One side wants the rolls checked more often for dead people, and for people who haven't voted in a long time (like a decade) to be taken off. The reason being to keep dead people from being used, and to remove people who have moved (the state doesn't know when you move). The other side claims too many people get accidently removed and some people just don't vote for a while and will be surprised when they come back to vote and aren't registered. I personally find it very suspicious that one political party is always in favor of the policy that makes fraud easier. Not to mention I am not bothered by processes and policies that make it harder for shallow and less engaged citizens to not vote (e.g. no same day registration, voter id, auto- purging dead people from rolls)
Also not a fan of absentee ballots. I feel that person should have to at least pick those up in person or something (my exception would be military deployment).
But you can same day register in most places
I always wondered when you have same day registration do they require any kind of id?
Yeah. It’s a difficult issue. On one hand, I don’t want people to be unnecessarily kicked out of the system, but I understand how fraud could be made easier.
In Wisconsin we have same day registration and voter ID
But before Voter ID, you just walked into a polling place with a piece of mail that had your name on it. I see the problem with that because in 04, I was legally getting mail in 3 places in three districts
In 06, at election time, I was getting mail at three addresses in 3 districts in 2 different states
Were you getting voting stuff at all three locations?
I moved states, and the previous state I lived in still sends me stuff about voting. I could vote at both addresses, and if someone new that they could easily vote using my name through absentee without ever showing any id.
I wasn't getting voting stuff. I did it legally and only voted at my aunt's house. But I could have done so at my parent's house and my campus and no one would have questioned it
My old apartment in Kenosha is vacant, without voter ID, some union guy would probably be voting from there
you know that's why they send people around to remind them to vote
I'm actually completely ok with same day registration as long as Voter ID is in place.
thanks @Salacious Swanky Cat and @grant . I think you gentlemen made my Sunday Video for me
Yay!
well, prepare for an apathetic Matt Christiansen tonight
I don't know how far the delay is for NFL mobile, so no spoilers, but where I'm at in the game, the Vikings are going to be hard pressed to win. Still doable, so no spoilers, but hard pressed for sure
I'm not big on NFL but my family watches college football so I'm aware of it as a consequence
I know that LSU beat Auburn by a cunt hair last night
I missed that. I was passed the F out
I don't even know how the Badgers did, and I work 6 miles away from Camp Randall
@Ragglefraggle07 are you a southerner?
My god, I've missed so much I wanted to comment on.
just do it all at once
But yeah, there is no way that RBG leaves the court with a pulse. Cory Booker may want to try and make a retard martyr of himself to try and build a case for the presidential election that he is so goddamned thirsty for, but she sees herself as holding the line.
And as far as voter registration goes, I would much prefer that it be nowhere near as automatic as it is, even if it means that someone as lazy as I am might not get to vote because of not staying on top of it.
wtf
Forbes, taking what is obviously a SJW fueled crazy decision by disney
and just spinning it like this is something.... i have no words
TL;DR the guy behind guardians of the galaxy got the boot after some asshole dug up a bunch of tweets a decade ago that make light of rape and what not
Wew
forbes somehow blames this on capitalism and these weird polls that say 75% of people would not buy from a company that does not support their values and praises me too and then proceeds to harp about recent movies
```Or consider that we had a woman cast in a Marvel franchise playing a role normally reserved for a man. Sounds progressive, right? Until we realize that that is also an example of a white actor trying her best to look Asian and thus limiting diversity.```
like wtf, wonder woman was an amazing movie <:WaitWhat:230083889018830848>
oh
