This has little to do with real-case scenarios and everything to do with providing cover for continued and expanded fraud. It’s the only way DemProgs can win - we know it and they themselves know it.

My county, Denton County, has everything required for anyone with any level of disability, to be able to vote. Can't get out of the car because of a disability? Not a problem. Quadriplegic? Not a problem. Can't leave home? Not a problem. Get an absentee ballot by requesting it and it will be sent. You'll get plenty of time to send it in.

This is all about harvesting for the sake of political misuse, not for anything else.

they should be counted starting first thing in the morning on the day of regular voting, with no results released until one minute after the polls close on the same day.


Agreed. And vote counting should never, under any circumstances short of an active shooter event at a poll location, be stopped/halted/ or paused.

Those folks are mostly volunteers, aren’t they? At 500am and after 22 or 23 straight hours of volunteer work, are you going to refuse them a break?

I understand the concern, but it just is not realistic.

I call bs. They have someone to take them places. Do they stay shut in the house 24/7/365? How do they get to medical appointments, etc.? I call bs on not having the time, too. Everyone who planned to vote knew the election date well ahead of time.

So why should the laws and procedures be changed to accommodate people who are too lazy to plan ahead?

All true. I am wondering if by what looks like a pre-planned media sob story supporting the case before it is heard promoted as news...

If it will influence Roberts or SCOTUS. Why did they take the case? Some States have already said, return to the regular way of voting.

but I cannot wrap my brain around the opposition to early, in-person voting.



Early in-person voting should be OK, but you need to have a very limited time; no more than a week.
I don't think it is legit to have people voting in September.

55 days of early voting in PA and all other States early voting of at least 30 to 40 days. And they are complaining they can't vote in time because muh handicap, or muh poor. Muh I don't have an ID but you need an ID to do anything.

This is ridiculous.

Sainz, state director of the Latino advocacy group Mi Familia Vota, said neither the young man, who was in a wheelchair, nor his mother had a car or the time needed to mail their ballots before Arizona’s gubernatorial election in 2014. They asked Sainz to drop off their ballots on his way home – and he agreed.


This is such as bull shite cover story that the Sainz guy is making up for a few reasons.

He wants legal money for his business of ballot harvesting and he decided to find an elderly person and a handicap person as his subject for a reason why for it to be legal. Pulling on strings by using poor elderly and handicap son. The Sainz guys is just testing to make a buck for himself under the false pretense of his advocacy group

Plus he is getting backing by the left because he's helping with their attempt to radically change the way people can vote making it easier for them to stuff the boxes with vitws for their candidate of choice.

That assumes they have a stamp at the house. Again, I agree that mail-in is a bad idea, but this is not the strongest argument


So mail in ballots are not pre paid? I find that impossible to believe when you consider the type of people that they are targeting to vote that way....they send those ballots to the freeloaders first and they not paying to mail it back

Sorry, Eduardo, but "chain of custody" is rather important with ballots.

The USPS does not really have any incentive to jack with mailed ballots, but "voting advocacy groups" (Left OR Right) usually have EVERY incentive to do so.

I gotta say "comply with the law."


I pretty much agree with you except for one point. The U.S. in the USPS stands for United States which means they are made up of government workers and a government workers union. If one candidate indicated unwavering support for that union and one candidate indicated opposition to that union they would have plenty of incentive to jack with votes. I still agree with your overall conclusion though. "Voter suppression" is Democratspeak for "you aren't letting us cheat."
