    How President Trump’s false claim of voter fraud is being used to disenfranchise Americans.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/...action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage

    For all of you with access to the NYT you can read the whole article for yourselves. To summarize for those who don't, an incident in IN was used to amplify the false accusation of voter fraud through the use of social and mainstream media. It was not an isolated case. These efforts are deceitful, unpatriotic, and represent another attempt by Repubs to thwart the will of the majority.

    "As the 2020 presidential election nears, it is becoming clear that the Trump administration and the Republican Party are not just looking at but heavily investing in the largely nonexistent problem of voter fraud. A New York Times Magazine investigation, based on a review of thousands of pages of court records and interviews with more than 100 key players — lawyers, activists and current and former government officials — found an extensive effort to gain partisan advantage by aggressively promoting the false claim that voter fraud is a pervasive problem."

    HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — It appears that an election worker’s decision to throw out nine military ballots in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, amounted to a mistake and not “intentional fraud,” the state’s top elections official said Wednesday.

    Workers in the elections office in Luzerne County are getting training on handling mailed-in military and overseas ballots, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said during an online news conference.

    “The investigation is still going on, but from the initial reports we’ve been given, this was a bad error,” said Boockvar, a member of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration. “This was not intentional fraud. So training, training, training.”

    Now all you have to do is figure out how a a few thousand ballots here and there were mailed out already filled out. Several thousand in NYC were mailed out with mismatched addresses and other irregularities that would get those ballots discarded.

    Unfortunately amplifying and fabricating false "scandals" is the only resource Trump has. So we will see many of those in October.

    You find it "funny" that Russia intervenes in our elections only around election years????

    That's not just "funny". It's outright hilarious!!!

    Oh no! ... I just remembered that the "Golem's Gollum**" award for "Nonsensical post of the week" was awarded early this time. I would appeal if I were you. You came up with a real contender!

    **Disclaimer: "Golem's Gollum" is awarded to posts. Not to people The authors may very well be the wisest persons in the forum. But the awarded post they sent is a doozy!

    Prediction. Trump will have an early lead because most of the votes counted will be in person. Over the weeks following the election, the democrats will be accusing the republicans of voter fraud because many mail votes will be thrown out for various other reasons.

    So let me try again. Is it the intel community warning Russia is meddling again this year and the Trump admin doing nothing to stop it that you find humorous?

    You are analogizing the 3 1/2 years Trump had to do something after Putin's unprecedented degree of meddling with what happened prior to 2016.........which you know is disingenuous.

    The main voter fraud needs to change is political party sitting out fake ballots.

    In 2016 Ted Cruz's campaign sent fake absentee ballots with the wrong address to send it to and the wrong date for the deadline to Democrat voters. Several hundred voters leaving these were real ballots sent them in and were not counted.

    There was a call to have Ted Cruz charged with felony voter fraud and election fraud, which would have gotten him 15 years in prison

    You think poll workers tabulate votes faster than a machine? In my county, last time
    (2016) mail in ballots took 10 minutes after poll closing to tabulate. They estimate that with the increase in mail in voting it could take up to 30 minutes to count them all. That's 30 minutes ahead of Florida polls officially closing. So they'll have to sit around for about 30 minutes to make results public.

    Of course these are estimations.

    My vote in person count is by a machine. They only go to manual counting for in person voting, if there is a dispute. All mail in votes are counted manually. Most states I have been associated with are similar.

    A mistake ,,, just like Scalia's fortuitous death and 40 other victims all of whom had info about Clinton. Coincidences happen every day.
    Lincoln's assassination by the DNC after signing the emancipation proclamation was a mistake too.
