    Don't worry, if after the election violent liberal fascists attempt to riot, loot and burn down our cities again, victorious Trump will deal with them in a totally different manner, the law breaking leftist violent mob won't know what hit them, these criminal brownshirts will be arrested and prosecuted the moment they break the law...any law. The violence will stop as quickly as it starts.

    Um. Did you look at that list? It's more like 200, but I didn't count.

    Kentucky went from almost 4,000 polling locations, to 170, just this year.

    Actually the opposite is probably occurring because many students request absentee ballots because they are away at college rather than changing their registration location. Now that they are at home and not in a high risk group they could be participating in early voting or in-person voting on election day itself.

    YOUR wannabe Fascist-in-Chief will be the INSTIGATOR of the VIOLENCE by his RACIST white supremacist mobs.

    But hardly surprising that you got it ASSBACKWARDS again.

    How would anyone know who voted for who at this stage unless there is a leak? Which to my knowledge would be a crime.

    They are NOT counting votes, they are counting REGISTRATIONS by PARTY.

    The signatures on the returned ballots must match those on the registrations and that provides a means to determine how many were received from registered Republicans versus registered democrats. In some states they even count registrations for minor parties and Independents too.

    They're doing all right. Lexington has around 250k registered voters. 28% of Lexington's registered voters turned out the first week of early voting. They also allowed "Fear of Covid" as a valid reason to request a vote-by-mail absentee ballot. So far, almost 60 percent of the absentee ballots in Fayette County have been returned. Statewide, that number is just over 51 percent.

    The information probably shouldn't be made public, but we're in the "information age", so apparently some people outside the Voting Clerks' have all the data, including at least the Biden campaign if not the Trump campaign.

    Whoever is maintaining the website linked below says he has the same data access that the Biden campaign has and that they know exactly which Democrats have voted, so they can stop spending money on those voters and target money on Democrats who they know have not voted yet. Knowing who voted down to the specific voter allows them to dump them in the gutter until the next election. That's efficiency.

    I can't wait to hear all the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" when "free stuff" radical-Democrats realize that the carrot-and-stick relationship they have with their neo-socialist overlords actually results in a much smaller carrot and a much larger stick, AFTER they've safely 'won' the election.... :twisted:

    Truth? Donald Trump was falsely accused of a "Russia Collusion" that never existed, except indirectly with the Clinton campaign. And, he now he's falsely accused of having done nothing to halt the spread of a CHINESE BIO-WEAPON throughout the United States. Bullshit!

    We'll SEE how well ol' Joe and that hateful snot he's running with do things after they're installed in power. You heard it here first! :lol:

    Yes. I've been using it to explain why it's not possible to have everyone vote on election day, in person. They would need throughput of 2,600 people/hour, per polling place. That's 43 people/minute.

    If we are 43rd in line at our polling place, we can expect to be there about an hour.

    You have the idea. Meanwhile, precious metals, gun manufacturers, and municipal bonds should carry me through a Biden win.

    How many of your guns did Obama steal? I thought he took all of them. That's what the right said for the entire year up to election, and during his entire eight years.

    Scare tactics are old and boring. They only work on those who are not informed.

    Democrats will trample on the secondment to the extent their power allows. Since Los Angeles is controlled by Dems, there are no secondment rights for ordinary citizens. No CCWs are issued to ordinary citizens so only cops, judges, and criminals carry guns here. Several common firearms are banned as well. Im surprised you didn't know that given your comment on being informed.

    Nah, you libs "evolve"... from being offended to be called socialists to being proud of it, from affirmative actions to reparations/blm, from amnesty (bad enough) and immigration reform to open borders, from freedom of speech to cancel culture, from pollution control to $100 trillion green new scam .... and yes, from gun control all the way to gun confiscation.

    Obama was bad enough and yet this is no longer the party of Obama (let alone B.Clinton), this is the party of the Squad, Bernie, Farrakhan.

    What about the 800lb gorilla at the polls? Like 2016 HOW many Democrats are NOT voting for the Democratic ticket? We'll soon see.

    Here is the news the Dems don't want to share:

    In Florida, Republicans netted 146,644 voter registrations over Democrats! Uh oh...

    In Pennsylvania, Republicans added 103,171 more voter registrations than Democrats did.

    And 30,000 more in Arizona.

    UH OH...

    That is a good point. We don't know who registered Democrats voted for even if analysts know that they voted. That's all they know hopefully, or we do have election issues.

    Well, results may be a nail-biter. I wouldn't place bets either way. We also don't know how many registered Republicans may also have flipped to Joe.

    Everything is up in the air. Gotta' give Trump credit for inspiring voter turnout and civic interest in record numbers. If we'd had motivational candidates for the last 30 years who had driven high interest and turnout, we might not be stuck with such a crappy establishment elite government of politicians who don't care us. The decades of voter apathy this country has "enjoyed" from Biden and his cronies could have been undone a long time ago. Weird how half the country wants to "re-do" the broken system created by Biden.

    Anyway, even if Biden wins this time, Trump has proven that voters can elect change candidates when inspired and has started a movement.

    Good reason to hold daily rallies drawing 10,000 - 30,000 crowds each. That some voter registration strategy! Probably more effective than hiding in a basement. I read that 20-30% of people who attend Trump rallies never voted before and many are, or were, Democrats.

    Well would you looky here ------ >
    https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...re-there-so-few-polling-locations/3249221001/


    While that Twitter hashtag and national calls alleging voter suppression in the commonwealth started recently, the support for reducing the number of polling locations was first vocalized by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear in early May.

    Beshear, a Democrat,
    said during a May 6 briefing that the commonwealth would "most certainly" have fewer polling locations, mainly to create less points to keep election workers and voters safe from the potential spread of the coronavirus.

    "We still have some time to make it as safe as possible," Beshear said at the time. "How do we reduce the number of contacts? ... But yes, there will be fewer locations."
