    There is a lot of push-back from Trump on voting by mail, but most states allow it, and 1/3 allow it without any excuse. His rationale is that it will lead to vast fraud, but of course that isn't his real reason. His real reason is that he thinks it will be worse for conservatives, but studies have shown that states that have instituted much broader voting by mail haven't had any statistical changes in party voting.



    Although, normally voting by mail doesn't affect party votes, I bet it might this year if we have another resurgence of Covid, because I think the right is much more apt to discount the virus than the left. I know that is why Trump is against it.

    Whether you're left or right wing, expanding mail in votes is the right thing to do to reduce the likelihood of spreading the virus, to expand voter participation, and to make it easier for those that do show up to stay distant. It will also allow any people with susceptibilities to remain safer. I think voting by mail could be made extremely secure by having people vote using traditional postal mail, coupled with requiring a confirmation either by phone, email or text. If done by phone, then voters can provide confirmation that can include confirming their form number. If done by email or text, it can include a picture of their form, and then confirmation that that was their form. Rather than staffers individually calling people, this can be automated by having voters call the number, text the number, or email the address provided to them on their form. A website can even be created with a database of those that have voted, and perhaps a link to allow people to confirm their vote was correctly registered. For people without computers, a site can include a means to access the database over the phone with some confirmation information. These types of systems are used extensively by banks and other sites that need security, so I think they are mature enough to use. We could even use such a site for people to confirm their vote on the day of the election.
     
    This is it, all of it, in a nutshell:

    According to the posters on tigerdroppings.com, Sidney Powell is going to "release the Kraken" any day now (i.e., finally expose the entire fraud conspiracy), but she hasn't done it yet for strategic reasons. I wonder what they will be saying in 4 weeks.

    Who hurt you to make you continue to go back there?

    I feel like if you have to put time stamps on when you release bombshells that overturn an election...you’re pretty much admitting it’s for theater. You don’t keep something like that under wraps for some arbitrary last minute timeline.

    These are the same masterminds that knew Auburn and Cam Newton would get busted in that pay for play scandal.

    Going through that board makes me weep for democracy and need to take a shower afterwards, that's for sure. There's even talk of armed insurrection and whatnot. I want to believe it's mostly right wing crackpots and don't represent the majority or even a significant percentage of Republicans.

    I guess this shouldn’t be too surprising...



     
    The article says the letter was written by "The Republican National Committee and the Michigan Republican Party " - not the legislators who went to DC recently. Am I correct on that?

    Yes, but I'm sure the Republican Speaker of the House and Senate Leader both have a lot to say about that. I can't imagine something like this would move forward from the party without their blessing.

    Can't Gov. Whitmer fire on the spot any election official who refuses to do their duty and replace them?
