That's significant. I saw some of it was outdated voter rolls.
Can see now there are plenty of issues. 1 in 5 isnt good enough.
Good luck
Yeah, like anything, I don't think it's probably the entire story - you have good points as well. I'm not saying we're talking "widespread" fraud here. And part of this is me playing devil's advocate as well of course, but I do think this is a power play on the part of the liberals and the media has made it out like Trump is just being a dictator and trying to retain power. Of course, he doesn't help with his statements, but I guess that he is being honest that he has motivations as well - something the democrats haven't tried.
The democrats want to use Covid as a way to expand mail-in voting, which they see as a means of skewing voting in their favor. I am not sure how anyone is missing the irony that the party that supposedly fights for public support programs goes on vacation without reaching any agreement and leaves the people in the country hanging - but then cuts that vacation short when they think they may not be able to skew the voting in their favor. And the media clearly has a 6th grade target audience and is preaching this narrative.
Now they are hanging on the argument that, "We made an offer, they made an offer, we wanted to meet in the middle and they wouldn't budge!" - accept I negotiate every day. It's a bush league game they played. They started off 3X the conservative's offer and then acted like we should settle on 2X and that would be fair. But fair isn't a measure of where you started, it's a measure of the situation and the factors involved. Taking an unreasonable stance and then moving toward a slightly more reasonable stance is not being fair and compromising.
So, instead of being realistic and trying to get SOMETHING for the people, they would rather stand ground and make demands that limit the presidents authority and gain more power for themselves and let the people get nothing until they get the power they want.
And I can agree - conservatives do this too! All career politicians do this! It's their JOB. And it shouldn't be a job, it should be service to the country.
Fraud, miscounts, lost votes - the post office just isn't run well enough to pull it off on a large scale. The majority of the states in the US have less than 20% of their votes through absentee ballots, and these issues are already on a scale that could impact a close election. Granted, if anything, this may actually be a case FOR the electoral college setup - since a state that is off 1000 votes only sways their number of votes and not an actual 1000 votes in the entire system - but I don't know.
We also live in a country where you can get pulled over for an expired registration, pay your fine, not have it recorded, and then unknowingly have your license revoked and and get arrested the next time you pull over because the database is flawed. Databases are rarely accurate to begin with.
Sorry for the rant! haha. You get me thinking....
Geez, anybody even hear about this? I ran into by accident, and this is saddening that it was only by accident.
The island of Mauritius is facing an environmental emergency as a wrecked ship is leaking tons of diesel and oil into the Indian Ocean.

I did not hear about this. Strangely, when I saw the headline and clicked on it, I went in with the idea that I wouldn't be emotionally upset about it - just that it would be something that logically upset me. But seeing all those people working to contain it, the destruction - it really is sad and was emotional.
