    Hmm, I put the ballot in the counting machine so how would they toss it away?

    I can only speak for my voting experience here in California, But I have never seen a counting machine, at all of the polling places in the various counties where I have voted with a paper ballot the ballots get dropped in a collection boxes which are are delivered to the county registrar office where they are counted - - same place mail in ballots are delivered - - In fact from what I have read mail in / absentee ballots that are received before election day are the first ballots counted


    As a side note I find it amazing that your state apparently has the money to provide counting machines at every single poling place - - must be nice

    Well seems my mail in voting has been successful - - received my ballot last Saturday filled it out and dropped it in a big blue mail box by me market on Sunday - of course Monday was a mail holiday so it probably didnt really get moving until Tuesday - - so here I am today and I get a text telling me my ballot has been received - when I get home I decide to track it and now it has been officially verified and accepted

    I do suspect Facebook and Twitter are working on comprehensive lists right now. They have incentive to release a list of all the times they blocked un-verified stories about Trump.


    Though they may just argue that, "That was then. Now after many trips to Washington things are different and moving forward we will be critical of all un-verified stories".

    in other words your searching failed to turn up anything 8o

    but don't you think there is a difference between some guy on a slingshot forum doing this VS high up political and public figures?


    Seriously - If I come on here and preach violence against the Green party is that even close to being the same as if Joe Biden or Obama publically call for violence against the right?


    your point may be true, but the impact isnt even close to being equal - - is it?

    Quoting both of you, "WERE".;)

    frankly I think as a whole the Democrat party in its actions is far more racist than the Republican party - - they manipulate and use Blacks and others to gain power often making promises they have no intention of delivering - - they talk about helping minority communities to rise up, but their actions seem to only serve to keep them down and controlled


    Trump on the other hand talks crap and says stupid things, but his actions have actually helped raise Black and other minority communities up


    words vs deeds - - - - - - - - which matter most?


    In my view talking a good game is worthless if you do not follow through, and if the opposite is true and you constantly say stupid things, but are doing good - - - well I can overlook the talk and recognize that in the end it is the deeds that create positive change not the words

    Its an interesting to me - - - I see all of these posts here and on other forums where people talk politics where some people keep trying to say that the push for mail in voting is all being done so that the left can rig the election by enabling voter fraud


    well I have wondered as I have read these post why the people making them assume that Democrats are more likely to take advantage of the situation and commit fraud than Republicans / conservatives


    I mean as a conservative Libertarian I have never assumed that just because others might have the same political leanings as myself that somehow makes them more honest or less likely to cheat than people who disagree with me politically - - seriously I would like to believe that overall most people are honest and want a fair and honest election - and I believe this is equally true regardless of your political leanings


    Anyway I bring this up because just now on my local news there was just a story of what might be the first major fraud attempt here in California related to the 100% mail in voting


    Seems a group has been putting out unofficial and unapproved large metal boxes with signs on them saying they are "official" ballot drop off boxes - - - - - the really funny part is that is seems most of them have been put out by the California GOP and the one that was first reported was out in front of a church


    Anyway just thought I would share - - - I found it funny - - - - California GOP - - - I guess desperation can make people do things I wouldn't have expected =O

    that’s the exact reason the dems have been talking about packing the court.....they want to add 3 more minority judges....black, Latino, minority women...Will guarantee they can pass any law they want like taking your guns....reparations, all republicans are Guilty racists...Impeachment of Every republican president.

    problem with that is that if they go forward and open that door then there would be nothing to stop future republican administrations from adding a few more seats and filling them with conservative justices


    its easy for idiots on the left to bloviate about doing such things, but its a whole different thing with really big consequences to actually do it - - - - could really piss off future voters

    What a about packing the court?

    If the Democrats decide to add more Justices and to end the filibuster I guess they can do that, but, and its a big but, I also fully expect that down the road the situation will get turned around and it will bite them in behind real good


    Also If they decide to open that door they won't be able to close it again and I would hope that with the exception of the far left the people will not like it very much and it will show in future elections
