How would it be caught. No way here to catch it. I even told them to remove her off the roll, didn't do it. You don't think there are people who would vote more than once .  People commit felonies every day, there may even be some on this forum.

The same way it was caught when Trump supporters were voting twice a few weeks ago.
Also: just bc there might be people on the shroomery committing felonies doesn't mean all felonies are happening all the time. You need to take a class on logic.

Don't doubt it. There were no "malfunctioning" voter machines that favored Trump though.

I clearly wasn't implying that's something only people who voted for Trump were doing. It's hilarious you think all those votes for her were legit though. Did you watch the videos I posted above?

Yes, indeed, nice post. Also, the EC was in place in lieu of any sort of popular vote -- the state legislatures appointed electors who cast the votes themselves. The popular vote actually had nothing to do with election outcomes until the 1820s, and then only a few states used it to determine the vote cast by the electors. A bit of an anachronism, to say the least.

Interesting. I should look into the history of these things more. It is interesting. The history of the Republican party is interesting in the context of its role in American politics today, at least in my view. Once upon a time I would have likely been a Republican.

Do you seriously think a rigged voting machine would make it obvious to the voter that their vote won't be counted? Of course not, the person who used that machine would clearly complain and they'd send him to another machine.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I got a letter in the mail saying my vote wasn't counted, because my signature didn't match my registration signature. So now I have to go down there and verify it, which I am happy to do, and I have til the end of the month.
Where I live, we are mailed out ballots, and either mail them in or drop them off. We are also mailed an informational packet on all of the ballot measures, with summarizations, and legalese versions. They include pictures of all candidates running for all offices, and descriptions of the candidate and their employment/educational history.
I really dig the way they do this here. It should be done like this everywhere. You have like two weeks to review everything and carefully place your vote. When I lived in MI, I didn't even know much about a lot of the people I was supposed to vote for, so I withheld my vote for a lot of things.

I think there is going to be a lot of conspiracy theory hyperbole, both now, and for future elections, that will eventually render all legitimate concerns/complaints useless.

Just like the word 'racist'.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
