Haha. Genuinely?! He is literally promising you money because he thinks it will get him votes.

He could not care less about the industry.

 

you can’t provide me with any evidence of this since he’s been president. You dislike him so this is your stance, you’re not unique. The President and Mnuchin have been for a stand-alone, as has the dude from Oregon. Everyone else has played politics with this. If you want this bill, DJT isn’t your issue, it’s McConnell and Pelosi.

 

Yeah no crap Sherlock. You could have stopped after the link. I was making a broad point youre making a "Republicans bad" statement. partisans gotta partisan.

 

There are security features on a driver’s license / state ID system. Enhanced features are checked at TSA for PAX. They can be checked at polling places.

Is it possible? Sure. Is it difficult to fake? Yes.

Not like the old days with a easy to fake ID that said you are 21 when you were 18 are gone.

Making it difficult reduces fraud. Cannot say it is 100% perfect. But if you reduce 95% to 99% of the crime, you have accomplished a lot.

Like making it difficult to counterfeit a $20. Can it be done? Sure. But if you put in enough security features, you make it difficult enough to stop most of the crime.

 

There are thousands of kids that make it through the foster system and have a difficult time getting the records they need to register to vote, my wife used to help them. I’d say a good first step is mailing a ballot to every registered voter, like my state has been doing for several years. Second step would be move Election day to a Saturday and Sunday. Third would be penalize states that have in-person voter lines in excess of one hour.

People that work for a living can’t necessarily afford to spend an entire day waiting in line to vote in their one designated spot. Maybe some of that could be alleviated by moving voting to weekends when maybe 40% of people are working. Adding more days might help.

Military folks have been voting absentee for decades. Is that fraud?

We should be encouraging voter turnout and making it easier for people to vote. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just worried about a challenge to their ideas.

 

Ya....if you have been dead 10 years generally all gov IDs have lapsed.

 

You do understand that there is a difference between Solicited (Absentee) Ballots and an Unsolicited (mass mailing based on voter rolls) right?

 

Yes I understand that. I registered to vote and every year my state sent me a ballot, solicited once, unsolicited at all other times. Plus, why should you have to remind the government every year that you want to vote? Do you renew your driver’s license every year or re-register for the selective service?

I say add a line to state tax forms that asks where you want your ballot mailed and have it auto-register for voting. Then we have driver’s license and tax payers mostly registered in states that have income tax. Then fix the problems affecting homeless, jobless, foster kids or people without cars.

 

Because otherwise if you have died other people can vote in your absence.

As I stated in another post I believe through blockchain technology we could have safe secure electronic voting. I agree that it should be accessible to everyone to vote who is qualified however we cannot have ballot harvesting and unsolicited mail in ballots. Too easy to vote fraudulently.

 

I think most states remove dead people from voter rolls and benefits lists. I’m sure accidents happen. Why not fix that problem then make it as easy as possible for everyone to vote?

Blockchain would be a possible solution to part of the problem but then you introduce or keep other problems. For instance # of and position of voting locations for people without computers, internet access and/or phones. Also, who is at the keyboard or phone? Obviously there are ways to address those problems but for people that claim fraud is the biggest threat to our elections, there will always be a counterpoint.

I think people like Kemp invalidating votes in his own election is more of a threat than .000004% election fraud observed in mail-in-ballots.
