Personally I do not do self check out. I have been known to leave a full buggy on the floor after asking for someone to check me out. It does not bother me one bit, they made the choice.
Walmart took all of the self check out registers out of the store I go to. Actually they just turn them off. They didn’t take them out. When I ask why they said it was due to theft.

Don't make a verbal mistake in the US political scene...
Lara Trump not only told Eric Bolling that the RNC now has poll watchers ready to watch the votes come in as well as “people who can physically handle the ballots,” but she suggested the RNC had a top-notch legal strategy in plan. “We have lawsuits in 81 states right now,” she told Eric Bolling. (It is not fake you can see the video online)
Immediately the left jumps on her even though everyone knew that she means locations... Just like the right did when Obama said he visited 57 states...
People make mistakes... that is all.
Left/Right bolstering really needs to change.

Hope you stretched before that reach ...........
Come on man ....... really...
To clarify, by "your own" I was referring to American citizens and their election in their country. Not a specific candidate. Wouldn't want to attempt influencing you by dropping a name. (sarc)
I'll just refer you to others answers to your query as I cannot add anything and you apparently didn't actually want an answer that doesn't allow you to be shocked and dismayed by a simple statement of the reality of politics and politicking.

Unfortunately, I did not consider your first response an answer, but a defense of an unnamed ones actions. If you believe that it is ok to influence elections with lies and inuendo, that is not our democracy... that is party politics.. and subjectiveness becomes even more clouded.
My original thought was that if a foreign country influenced our election to the favor of the party that one wanted to win, the egregiousness of that influence would not be viewed as negative as if it were for the other side. The idea of Democracy has nothing to do with influencing elections, it is only about winning for a party.
Your assumptions of shocked, dismayed, animosity are all just that assumptions.. Your answer gave no insight other than it is "politics". Thanks for your response.

WHY???????????
It's a vote for Creepy Joe!
(But it will make you feel better, and that's what's important now I guess)
That is funny... my lib friends say it is a vote for the Donald.. so which is it?

if influencing elections were not allowed there would be no campaigning, no commercials or other advertising - nothing. we would simply be told the choices and we would vote. The simple act of campaigning is in and of itself an attempt to influence the voters and impact the outcome of the election. - - heck even sticking a Trump or Biden sign in your front yard is an attempt to influence others.
We all know that campaigning and commercials "stretch" the truth to the point that most are actually lies.... So splitting hairs between who "influences" elections is like saying "I didn't lie, I mis-spoke".
Putting a sign in ones yard to me is just saying this is who I am voting for.. I guess we all have different ideas regarding this... Thanks for responding.

When it's your own election in your own country it is just a teansy bit different than say Russia/China/Ukraine influencing our election. How can you campaign without influencing and what would you call the actions Zuckerberg and the like took in the last Presidential election, Was that influencing or was it campaigning and participating in your own Democracy.
Take your animosity toward the players out of it and I believe your pearl clutching at the statement will subside.

Not sure I get what you are saying... no animosity involved.. just curious how it is ok to influence an election. So, if I am. understanding you correctly, it is ok for a person to influence an election for themself, but it is not ok for another country to influence an election for that same person??
Campaigning is not influencing in my mind, it for the most part for all candidates is plain lying.
But, please defend to the end anything that could possibly be wrong with you candidate, as others defend what could possibly be wrong with theirs (I am still writing in Tulsi Gabbard for my vote).
It is like my neighbor.. he just informed me that when the Donald says whatever he is talking about having done being the best ever, it is New York humor... and if one is not from New York they wouldn't understand... but he does even through he is a Colorado Native and has never been to New York... Yup.. still laughing...

Please can someone explain this to me... Influencing elections has been a hot topic for some time... with all the Russian/Chinese trying to influence elections...
Trumps lawyers said this today... “There’s nothing wrong with trying to influence an election,” Todd Blanche, one of Trump’s lawyers, countered in his. “It’s called democracy.”
So it is ok now...??
