Nye County NV is hand counting thousands and thousands of ballots because election-conspiracy believing officials got rid of the ballot tabulating machines.

Good for them!!  Gotta get the count right.  I mean, they reported about 64% for Laxalt and Lombardo.

So how did the demotwit head honcho go who said 'when power bills rise, you have to eat Chef Boyardee' ?

R’s need to take a machete to covid era voting procedures when and where they can. 
 

Absolutely absurd to have months of early voting, followed by days/weeks of ballot counting.  
 

End result for the “threat to democracy” folks… Every single election becomes Rep machine vs Dem Machine.   Candidates don’t matter.  Could be a potato.  
 

You have a ballot in your hand 45 days before the election.  You probably haven’t heard a debate, the way we’re going, you won’t hear one anyway.  You know next to nothing about the candidates.  
 

You simply fill in your tribal leanings and put it in the mail.  
 

Whoever activates more of their voters in the race wins.  
 

And then nobody trusts it, because the results don’t come down until 5 days after the election .. 50 days after you cast your ballot for candidate X that has your political affiliation next to their name.

You can keep trying to tell people this is normal and ok but those of us who have been voting for decades and do not suffer from dementia or stroke after effects know that it is not normal and it's not ok.

Campaigning, advertising, promoting, debating, hand-shaking, crowd attendance and venues for rallies, along with physically meeting people and convincing them of your worth, are only important if you are trying to win votes.  Fortunately for Democrats, modern electioneering via ballot collection does not require these arcane efforts. So, in the larger picture of what you now see in elections, Democrats have stopped wasting time doing them.

 

Republicans are running around trying to convince people and win votes.  Meanwhile, who needs voters? Democrats have skipped all of that old fashioned stuff and modified all of their electioneering systems to quietly and efficiently collect ballots.  Yesterday you saw the outcome.

Umm.. you think people voting is a problem?

A little more sanity in my state going forward thankfully.

Dems nominated a potato and had the race won before a debate. 
 

R’s can either adapt and just go machine vs machine to the point where we just cast a digital vote for our party regardless of candidate or burn down the system built up during covid and restore some trust in the process.

Or the GOP could consider running on a platform that is appealing to wide swaths of Americans. 
 

But that’d just be crazy.

Nobody is restricting access to non-homicidal birth control. 
 

Most allow you to murder a baby up to 15 weeks. 
 

Admittedly, R’s don’t have much to offer the youngest generation.  They’re never going to appeal to easily manipulated Tik Tok climate doomers or provide govt handouts.

 

They need to realize that once they get married, they’ll likely win them over and focus heavy on Hispanics (typically the social antithesis to young voters) to fill the gap.

Yeah, their specialty is mainly easily manipulated boomers and Gen Xers by appealing to nostalgia and a fear of “the other”.

You have a lot to say for someone simping for a party that lost seats in NY, lost the VA Gov last election, will lose the House, potentially the Senate (if not now, definitely in ‘24) and has a President that is wildly unpopular.

 

You were saved by abortion in wake of the recent Roe decision and the fact R’s haven’t understood how to run campaigns in the post-covid era.   Neither of those issues have heavy staying power.

R’s carry married men by 20%.. Married women by 14%.. Single men by 7%.. while Dems bank on single women to carry them to the tune of 37%. 

 

If those numbers comfort you while R’s make inroads heavy into the Hispanic communities and a few percentage points with black men, so be it. 
 

At some point you’ll have to confront a GOP not beholden to your saving grace, Trump .. luckily for you that may not be anytime soon.
