The ballots will count (to complete my sentence).

Supreme Court overturns most extreme circuit court in the country’s ruling. Absentee ballots received after Election Day if postmarked Nov.5 or prior. Thoughts?

I also have to add that the largest, the most complex economy and society in the world can’t run on bad data. Everything from economy to health, transportation and public works. The market hates uncertainty and if the data were bad, the uncertainty would be uncontrollable. Information has to be as accurate as possible to manage the system, both public and private.

That’s a cheap shot , Dog.

Prices haven’t doubled. For that to happen in four years inflation would have to average 15.5% for the entire period. Never heard of the rule of 72?

I made a post on here somewhere almost two years ago, when inflation was bumping 10% that it would be back down a lot faster than it did in the 80’s because that was a result of the lag in productivity that happened in the 70’s and early eighties. A systemic problem with our economy. This time, it was global disruption from the pandemic that caused never before seen shortages of supply. Something known as a force majeure in legal language. It probably shows up in the exclusions section of your home insurance policy. Anyway, the fed had to raise rates to help hit the brakes, but the reason there was no recession is because when supply chains started returning to normal, the market responded and inflation is retuning to historic levels.. To blame Biden for this is no different than blaming Trump for it, which I don’t. It was a global pandemic that had not happened in a century. So, If a Democratic economic plan is able to continue we’ll see continued wage growth with low inflation and purchasing power will grow for the ones who got hit hardest. If Trump’s tariff plan gets a chance we’ll have high inflation and high unemployment. That’s something I don’t think has ever happened. Consumers will pay the tariff. That’s an instant pass through, not a creeping kind of thing. Hope I gave you some information to consider.

That suit concerns hand counting all ballots, even if machine tabulated. Reagan’s allegation was that Democrats are suing to stop drop box surveillance. Republicans are the ones suing to stop that. Hand counting machine tabulated ballots is just a ruse to gum up the works and stall for time. Democrats were right to sue over that.

So you think the government is releasing false data concerning jobs, wages, and inflation?

Yeah, but you’re in Texas. I think the blue wall states will be different.

Also, I heard that the over 65 vote in Pennsylvania is behind 2020 numbers. A example of the lagging performance I was referencing in the other post.

I think Trump is going to underperform and Harris will overperform. It was already slowly turning, but this past week of gaffes will stifle Republican turnout, move all remaining fence sitters to Harris, or at least not Trump, and it will give the fuel needed to inflame an already ignited Harris/Walz campaign. Let’s compare theories Tuesday night.

Used to be postmarked no later than Election Day. Voter suppression marches on. The only thing is, they can make it harder, but they can’t stop it. Voters will follow whatever rules are in place to cast their vote, even if it might be a little more inconvenient. The Democratic Party is organized and will do a better job of educating voters than Lara Trump’s hot mess RNC. There are too many unintended consequences cropping up and Republican Party message failures due to Trump’s failure to discuss policy and persistent insulting of almost every voting bloc except his own 43%. Harris will end up north of 300 electoral votes.

I don’t support illegal voting of any kind. There has been no hostile takeover of the system. Election workers take their oaths seriously. I worked them here in Hardin County for 30 years. I know the system. Voter fraud is statistically insignificant. Ballots cannot be stuffed or discarded. They must all be accounted for, and that responsibility lies first at the precinct level and finalized by the County Clerk. That’s why 60 lawsuits alleging fraud were thrown out. Secretaries of State don’t want crooked elections because the buck stops with them. If anyone is a traitor it is Donald J. Trump. To do what he has done to weaken confidence in the election system is to do what Russia has been trying to do since the 50’s. He’s done a better job in 12 years than they have in 70. Aiding and abetting? You call me a traitor, I’m not going to call you a name back. I will tell you to chill.

Excellent summation of the provisional ballot. Investigation of the provisional ballot.of a suspected non citizen would be part of determining its validity. The system rally does work.

His mind isn’t going. His behind is going to jail. His defeat will be too big to rig.

Did you read the link, or do you consider it fake news? It names the plaintiffs and identify, one an ex Georgia state legislator.

Does that apply to overseas votes, including military?

Trump knew Epstein better than he’s letting on, but guilt by association shouldn’t be assumed of anyone. Guilt is proved by evidence, and I don’t think any evidence has been presented towards anyone, including Trump, of any guilt associated with knowing Diddy or Epstein.

Pray tell.

They all lie. Say things they don’t deliver on and stuff like that. Problem with Cruz is he’s a sniveling back bencher. The bills he sponsors (105 in 12 years) mostly grandstand him in his quixotic quest to be President. He does nothing for us here at home in Texas. Cancun Ted. He’s always commenting snarkily on what other people say or do. He’s not known as the most hated member of the Senate for nothing. He’s kind of like Trump without the money or narcissism. In some ways his actions as a U. S. Senator are more reprehensible than Trump because Cruz doesn’t have any apparent mental or cognitive disorders. I hope Cruz loses about a hair’s breadth less than I do Trump. A vote for Allred is a vote for Texas!

No, Two Republicans. Look up three or four posts and look at the link I posted.

How is it proof if it’s not true?

No record? That is not true. In fact, it’s not even attached to reality. You may not like her record, but lord have mercy, California AG (elected) US Senator (elected) 1 term as Vice President of the United States (elected). So, she has been voted for. She replaced Joe Biden in accordance with Party rules. All convention delegates representing the votes cast in the Democratic primary moved their delegations to Harris when Biden released them. Her popularity was not in the toilet. She was VP and as such wasn’t on the radar much. It is a testimony to the Democratic campaign organization, not the media’s doing. When lies is all you got, you got no strength.

I think it is reasonable to “set” the poll list 90 days before an election.. If it could be meddled with right up to Election Day, voters incorrectly removed would not have time to cure their vote and would be denied their right. I don’t think non citizens should be allowed to vote because it is against the law. Use the other 21 months between federal elections to clean the voter rolls. Why do you make such a wild assumption just because my opinion differs from yours. Traitor? Really? You need to chill, man.

It’s not a Democratic talking point. It’s a fact. As for your first remark, it’s not about the relevance of the vote. It’s about the accuracy of the poll list. In a city council election decided by one vote it would count bigly. In a national election the number is statistically insignificant. Our nation has the best election system in the world, but at the same time any system always has room for improvement. As for the Pennsylvania deal, it is relevant in which county the allegation was made and who made it. I’ll bet no significant evidence of fraud is found.
