To the shock of no one who doesn't aspire to Dictator in Chief, the absence of Federal storm troopers last night resulted in no violent protests over the presence of Federal storm troopers violently attacking protestors.

1. That chart above is inaccurate. Texas isn't mandating in school class, it's being left up to each school district to decide, which does make for a bunch of uncertainty across the state.
2. I'm not really concerned about the press not being allowed into the event in this case. They do have limited capacity, they can livestream it, and it's just a useless formality anyway as Trump is the incumbent.

Trump doesn't seem to like the idea of people being able to vote Democrat in Nevada and he will go to fething court to stop you people from rigging the election by voting!
Its so weird to see people frothing at the mouth about fraud for mailing ballots to every eligible voter. We have been doing that in my country for years without any issue. Isn't it just easier to come out and say you don't want the non-Republican undesirables to vote? We all know its true.

We've been doing it in this country for decades without issue.
Trump votes by mail. We have literal photographic evidence of him doing it even. The only reason Republicans are against expanding mail in voting is because they assume easier accessibility to the ballot would make it impossible for Republicans to win elections. It's especially Ironic though in the case of Florida and Texas, where mail-in-ballots are predominantly the elderly who trend Republican and Trump is tanking in both states right now.

Question about all this vote fraud worries and stuff. My concern is, who counts the ballots that come in? Who labels them as intelligible because of a bad signature or whatever? Because most of the fraud issues that popped up that I heard about were people trying to vote R, is it that far out of the ballpark that someone would just bin as many D votes as possible because "they're all gonna be fake anyway, Trump said so"

Because most of the fraud issues that popped up that I heard about were people trying to vote R, is it that far out of the ballpark that someone would just bin as many D votes as possible because "they're all gonna be fake anyway, Trump said so" Most ballots are collected and counted by volunteers, with professional overseers and party representatives present at all stages. I wouldn't say it's impossible to stuff the ballot, but it would honestly be a lot of work and its hard to get away with. More often than not the real problem on election day is a lack of volunteers to do the manual tasks of ballot counting.
There is of course the broader issue in Trump recklessly undermining the electoral process solely because it won't suck his dick.

I'm not worried about them stuffing it, more about them binning more ballots for no real reason beyond "eww Democrats that must be fake". Mail ballots are already contested more than normal right? So won't this be a possibility? |

What I could find: www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/california-rejected-100000-mail-in-ballots-because-of-mistakesSo any significant deviation from around that 1.4% would be a reason to investigate with rejections. Its good to have this baseline. Its enjoyable to watch Republicans squirm and try to convince Trump to ok absentee ballots while staying on the attack for mail ballots. But of course message discipline was never his strong suit. It would be poetic justice if he manages to reduce his own voter turnout more with all the BS he is spewing. Newest idiocy of him is demanding a cut of Microsoft's deal with TikTok for the US, otherwise he might have to do something about the app *nudge nudge wink wink*. Is that the most maffia like thing he has said yet? |

It might not matter either way.
I suspect Trump will claim mass fraud regardless of the outcome of the election or the reason for it.

He proclaimed mass fraud in 2016 and He Won.

He really comes across as a child arguing with a parent/teacher. This almost comes across as sad, if not for him being monstrously negligent/incompetent.
