Barr's mad because any jackass can see the folly of widespread mail in voting beyond the limited use of absentee voting.  We've had nothing but voting creep over the past few decades with the expansion of early voting and the broadening of absentee rules and now vote by mail.  At the same time voter registration and the census has broadened to include non-citizens.  Add to this sloppy or non-existent maintenance of voter registration rosters and we have a growing opportunity for abuse and error. 

 

There should be unanimous support to clean and tighten this up.  It's a no brainer.

Officials turn pizzerias into polling places as retirement homes, schools bow out

 

(CNN)The pandemic has created yet another hurdle for officials trying to plan November's election: Places that typically serve as reliable polling stations are now off the table because of Covid-19.

 

Facilities like senior centers, schools or even private businesses are no longer options over fears that welcoming voters will increase infection risk for others.


Millions of Americans will vote by mail this year, in part to avoid going to in-person voting locations, but that isn't helping city and county clerks who are facing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance to maintain or even increase the number of polling places they staff on Election Day to maintain social distancing. The guidance explicitly states: "Unless there is no other option, do not increase the number of potential registered voters assigned to each polling place."

If you had read the last few posts in this thread you would not have to ask that question.

I'll never understand how thinking people see polls as something other than a process by which to create a headline to suit someone's narrative.

 

And I say that about the right and the left.

 

I can get 73% of 2000 'random' people to agree that Nancy Pelosi is a millennial, and not even break a sweat in the process.

Remember when you celebrated this a year or so ago ?

 

 

Harris was rightly punished for abusing mail-in ballots,

 

Now, you act like it can't be done.

 

Some consistency on the Left would be nice.......................................................I know, I know. ?

 

 

 

.

 

You sir are a lunatic. I say that because to demand consistency by the left this late in the game is the ultimate cry of insanity.
