Dr. Anthony Fauci: No reason why we shouldn't be able to vote in person

"Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, on Thursday invoked mail-in voting as an alternative for people who didn’t want to “take the chance” of contracting the coronavirus.

“I mean, obviously if you're a person who is compromised physically or otherwise, you don't want to take the chance,” he added."

Actually it doesn't. You're out of touch, seriously.

 

I accept your concession, cheers.

 

I know that Dr. Fauci is the leading expert but I'm finding it hard to trust him after he delayed telling the public to wear masks. I understand that he did it so there would be enough for health care workers but it was still a lie by omission. Then, there was the photo of him at the baseball field sitting between two people (both wearing masks) and his was below his chin.

Now, he is saying that it's okay to go vote at the polls if we practice social distancing and wear masks. How am I supposed to trust what he says when he's already...

(1) lied by omission, and
(2) wore his mask incorrectly within close proximity to two others?

I understand things are changing rapidly as the Administration works to get a handle on things but it's hard to trust when people aren't really leading by example.

 

Fauci admittedly lied and lost all credibility. He should just go away.

 

HUSH! The Democrats will pull a Comey on their hero Fauci and throw him under a steam roller in a New York second.

 

That's just based on your feewings. Not any actual evidence or analysis.

 

It’s called cognitive thinking. You might want to try it sometime if you are even capable.

 

Thinking is a cognitive process, so all thinking is cognitive. But not all cognitive processes are thinking.

You're welcome.

Coming back to the point - what you are doing is not "thinking". There is another phrase for it. It is called jumping to conclusions.

 

That’s just it, I’m thinking your reacting.

You’re welcome

 

Jumping to conclusions without evidence is not "thinking". At least it is not critical thinking. You are just jumping to conclusions.

You claimed that requesting a ballot is a necessary step for an honest election process. That is demonstrably false. Switzerland, for example, sends ballots to every eligible voter, without any request. A ballot goes to everyone. Voters can mail the ballots back, drop them off in advance or on the day, or vote in person.
They have votes at least a couple of times each year this way, and nobody ever suggests that the Swiss system is not an honest process.

So your opinion is not based on critical thinking. As I originally said, it's based on your feewings.

 

Fraud and contested elections happen in Europe, too.

Thanks for proving my point.
The report from Sweden wasn’t a news report but a blog from someone with a very strong view. And no evidence of any cheating. The irregularities it talked about occurred at polling places, not mail.

The Swiss example also did not raise any concerns about mail votes. And only one case of outright fraud. Only 10 voided ballots.

Overall, those cases don’t support the argument that mail voting is problematic. In fact, the opposite. The irregularities occurred with in-person voting.

Thanks for the help.

 

Sure, but the push for vote by mail and the narrative that Trump is defunding the USPS in order to prevent mail in voting is irrelevant knowing that voting in person is safe to proceed.

 

No way to know if someone fills out an aged parents ballot and has them sign it. That's just fact.
