If, God forbid, we have nationwide mail-in voting, how long will the count take?

The states that have never done mail-in voting will be counting votes for weeks if not months. We will not know the winner until probably late December or January.

It’s fricking ridiculous to think they can just throw this bullshite together in the coming months and expect it to go smoothly and without massive fraud.

We need the courts to step in and put an end to this now.

Hillary has been waiting years to be declared winner of the 2016 election.

Stop being obtuse, fat arse.....

What the Dems are proposing is NOT Absentee voting, it is junk-mail voting.

Trump is 100% correct on calling out this bullshite.

There is no reason to change anything about the current system.

If you can go to Walmart, you can get your arse to the polls.

All states have some variation of absentee (mail in voting) where your signature and postmark has to be verified.

Only 5 states currently have the mail in voting where they just send out ballots to any registered voter. Those states have had that process for years.

Vermont, Nevada and California just joined that group and there results will be a clusterfrick.

We will have to push the inauguration date back to March.

Vermont might be able to pull it off given the low number of voters.

California? You fricking kidding me?

Then they'll say Trump's trying to steal the election by questioning it.

Early polling results has Biden in landslide. Downhill from there as the actual count comes in. Then mysterious boxes and truckloads of ballots found by the DNC and ensuing court cases. We are headed to a world of shite!!!

Was listening to a local radio show. They said according to the constitution, if the election is not held or decided by inauguration day the Prez, VP, the entire cabinet become private citizens and the Speaker becomes acting President unt the election is decided or in the event the election wasn't held or can't be decided the House picks the President and Senate selects the VP. Then they played an audio clip of Pelosi discussing this very scenario. Anyone know if this is accurate?

20th Amendment.

quote:

The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.


quote:

If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.


Presidential Succession Act of 1947

quote:

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That

(a)

(1) if, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability, or failure to qualify, there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President.
(2) The same rule shall apply in the case of the death, resignation, removal from office, or inability of an individual acting as President under this subsection.
(b) If, at the time when under subsection (a) a Speaker is to begin the discharge of the powers and duties of the office of President, there is no Speaker, or the Speaker fails to qualify as Acting President, then the President pro tempore of the Senate shall, upon his resignation as President pro tempore and as Senator, act as President.

If it comes to that. I think every mailed in ballot needs to be verified. Every single one. I don’t care if it takes a year. The nut jobs will stop at nothing to win.

Old enough to remember Bush-Gore? How long did that take to recount those ballots in just a few counties in Florida? Now multiply that, and keep in mind, the very efficient USPS will be making sure your ballot is delivered.
