Be careful. Your first attempt to project this made you look like a fucking brain dead aggy.  I see you still haven’t given up on it though. Maybe if you keep repeating it, it will come true. Or, since it’s fresh on your mind, you can easily find one receipt.

Eh I mean SurlySearch ain't too shabby. You stop short of saying that the election was fraudulent, but are happy to repeat that "many people are just asking questions" and continue to fuel that fabricated grievance

Wrong. I was told hundreds of times the US have absolutely secure elections, without chance of fraud.  Anyone who questions this is a sore loser.  But more of a CR topic.

Well, maybe I stopped short because the election wasn’t fraudulent?  At the same, there are reports of people’s straight ticket ballots being opposite of what they picked, dead (R’s mostly) voting, and videos of people with stacks of envelopes to drop off at piling stations. In what world can both not be true.  We are a long way from being absolutely secure. Shit, Hildalgo can’t even get county votes done in a week.  Do you believe our system cannot be improved upon?

*Note - in my last post I was referring to the Elon thread where you mentioned me in the same vein, even though we were discussing (or shortly referencing and answering a question) about some AZ pol who was removed from Twitter for this thoughts on the election integrity.

So on one hand, you are stating that the election was not fraudulent

And on the other hand, stoking conspiracy and "many people are saying" type shit that only advances the conspiracy of the election being stolen.

Ya know, that perception and being highly attuned to be aggrieved makes you actually jump to those conclusions more readily. My grandma was complaining about these newfangled touchscreen voting machines and how it kept "changing her vote!!!", and talking to my mom I learned that she just kept dragging her finger across the screen so it kept choosing the bottom candidate. Not a conspiracy - but she's been listening to so much goddamn fox news that it's literally the first word association that comes to her mind.

You are poisoning your mind when you keep dabbling in this "people are saying" and "just asking questions" bullshit.

People on this very site complained their tickets weren’t tallying up correctly. D voters.   Does that make any election fraudulent?  Of course not.  Should it be fixed? Absolutely.   Unless you feel we have a perfect system, that never makes a mistake.  
 

I mean, we know by 2205 on lottery nights that over 20 states, no one won.  10’s (hundreds?) of millions of tickets sold across half the country. But we can’t get results back in 10 days in Harris county?  I think there’s room for improvement.   More time leads to more chance for fuckery.

My guy. You are comparing apples and assholes lol. When you buy a lotto ticket, it's also centrally registering that set of numbers. When the drawing happens, they just see if there's anyone with a ticket registered to that magic combination.

When 1,633,557 people vote (Houston in 2020) and we have to independently count, tally, audit, and verify that each one was counted.... Yeah, that's gonna take some more time. Wanting to rush through that seems like the more fraught proposition.

Nevertheless, you're making absolutely absurd comparisons here that are not reflective of objective reality. You are amplifying this rhetoric that our elections process is deeply flawed and rickety and barely working - and that couldn't be further from the fucking truth.

Maybe we should have a nationwide database of all people and how they voted!

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,712]

If we want faster vote counts, start allowing early votes to be counted early.

Conspiracy minded people won’t want that because then someone might know the running count. Which really has very little downside if everyone is told the running count.

Whenever I hear or read about voter fraud, they are nearly all republicans.  Whenever I hear or read about voter suppression, it is always about suppressing non-republicans.  Whenever I hear about voting integrity, it is always about tossing votes for non-republicans.  When I hear about gerrymandering, it is nearly always about ultimately favoring non-republican districts.  Whenever I hear about trying to intimidate polling places workers and voters, it is always republicans.   Whenever there the more popular president loses an election it always favors the republicans.  

Gee, it is like there is a pattern or something.

[aggie08 21,741]

I always knew that, statistically, with 30% of the country believing that "something fishy" transpired in 2020, we had to have a few surly holdouts. They're just smart enough to not vocalize their dumbass beliefs around here because we'll just call them marks. Of fucking course fatty still has "questions" about election integrity. On fucking brand.

Blame the stupid ass GOP legislatures all around the country who don’t let election workers start counting the early / mail in votes until Election Day or even when polls close in some states. They should let election workers count and tabulate all the early mail votes today so that the results are ready for Tuesday night. I guess it’s no coincidence that the same people fighting against letting us count the votes are the same ones who complain about trump being ahead by a mile when they go to bed and Biden being ahead when they wake up the next morning. These people live to fear monger and push conspiracies. Any chance they get, they will take it.

All GQP members are part of a corrupt machine.  They looked the other way or welcomed the extremist, anti-democratic, fascist, religious wackos,  and dumb members, and supported those elements that hijacked their party.  They were happy spreading lies for decades and tearing down regulations that secured the country in the name of "lower taxes/helping business" and "freedom" without looking at what was around that curve.   There was a fucking reason some of these things were put in place.

dismantle the post office, complain about the post office.

break quorum and cause the police budget to be reduced, the complain about defunding the police.

This isn't off brand for the GQP.  We should just lower taxes on the rich, ever see a poor man hire someone?

We can improve by not allowing physical intimidation of voters at polling sites or threats of violence to poll workers. Even better if people just stopped doing those things on their own.

That's against the law.  Seems like some enforcement against it is in order.

Seems like the party of law and order needs to obey the law that they know exists. But short of that, yes enforce it. Why is enforcement an issue, do you suppose?

Well, it's likely that you're begging the question. No doubt everything on earth could "work better" in many different respects. But in this context, based on what I responded to, your understanding of how things are is lacking and your assumptions are therefore off base. 
So, spend a few days in service to your community and see if your assumptions are correct.

I would hazard a guess that you don't even know how your own county of residence does it, or whether that is different from any of the counties directly adjacent to them.  And you don't, because you haven't invested any time in learning what, let alone why. So maybe, do.

That’s like asking Siskel and Ebert to explain why a given defensive coordinator should go with the 3-4 instead of the 4-3.
