that's why you pay higher taxes
your kidding
And all this time I thought it was to support the lazy liberals who think working people owe them something

it's called prioritization of spending.
it could also have something to do with the size of the State/County and the cost of the machines needed to cover it
I suspect it might take a few more machines to cover all of the polling places in California than it would to do the same in Maine
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 Bigdog you are right the people who count could cheat or throw it away, but that would be equally true if I voted in person - the same people do the counting no matter how the ballot is delivered

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
"Red State" fish. Verizon covers all states, not just Red States.
"Like it or not" he might not be for much longer.
I prefer him over Biden, but so long as Amy makes it to the SC - - - - I'm good
I never claimed otherwise. I simply said I would try to find an opposite example.
opposite, but equal - - right?
1/2 wave bottom loaded dipole I assume?
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
Twitter and Facebook - censoring negative stories about the Biden
Can anyone here please link an instance where they censored a negative story the media published about Trump - - - - Please!
Display MoreYou missed it.
My point was.
You can't constantly complain and accuse "the left", "the deep state", "Democrats"... of "dividing us" and then go on post after post saying how evil every Democrat is and how everything they do is against the U.S., against the constitution, against Americans and an attempt to suppress, control and destroy everyone....
That in itself is an attempt to further divide the country along party lines.
My point: You are doing what you profess to hate.
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?
see - this right here - - - this is why Trump can say stupid things and still get my vote
Trump to transform America into manufacturing super power
Obama talked about change and nothing changed - - Trump on the other hand actually does things that help Americans
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

The KKK were Democrat's
absolutely - the KKK were very anti Republican and also anti Catholic & anti Jewish
why would a Mexican beer company have a commercial telling people to vote? Just saw it on tv...science channel...
why not?
have you ever noticed that many people don’t really do enough investigation/research into topics they Blindly comment on..
actually I was commenting on you
Have you ever noticed how the political extremists on one side always think it is the political extremists on the other side that are crazy & evil?
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
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
