847 the pied piper for the prez.  Ugh.

DON'T TRUST THE ELECTIONS!

BE AFRAID!

BIDEN HAS LOST IT.....despite Trump's every phrase being word salad.

So can mail!

Nice theory max but it’s never been done. Not even close. Why would anybody with think Millions and millions of ballots can be mailed out and returned in time and that’s with absolutely no validation of who actually filled out the ballot? Total insanity

You're overthinking this. It's very simple:

• First step is to get the populace to distrust voting and election results.
• Second step is to use that if election results that you don't like occur.

I've been thinking about it, though... I've read the stories that POTUS was largely running for President for publicity, and on election night 2016 when it started looking like he might win, the mood was "WTF do we do now?!"

A lot of people are worried that when if POTUS loses the election, that he's going to try to hang on to power. I'm not entirely sure he WANTS to be President*. He doesn't seem to want to devote a lot of time or energy to it, given that it's all about boring work instead of tweeting. It doesn't really suit his personality or work ethic. And on top of it, I'm guessing that his handlers are telling him that trying to just keep the White House in the face of a sound electoral defeat isn't going to work.

So I'm starting to think that all this effort to make people distrust the results of the election aren't necessarily to try to hang on to power. I think it might be to assuage his ego that when he loses, he can actually claim he truly won but the election was rigged. Therefore he's a winner. That allows him to get the heck out of the boring White House gig while retaining his ego.


* Of course, there is the whole "you don't indict a sitting President" benefit, which just might be enough to make him want to stay in office until he shuffles loose this mortal coil. As terrible as the job is, it's probably better than prison.

Nice conspiracy theory. Wacky as hell with no evidence but nice conspiracy theory.
there really is a thing called Trump derangement syndrome I guess because for a guy who posts so much good factual data this one just seems screwy and off-the-wall.

i’m only guessing but I doubt Trump is worried about a prison cell. Adam Schiff,Nadler, Comey and the rest of them who tampered with the last election and falsified evidence for the collusion investigation might want to be a little worried though.

??  Washington offered absentee ballots to everyone in 1993. Anyone can vote by mail in Florida.  

There is almost no real reason not to do it.  The reasons against all seem to boil down to making sure the people "on the other side" get fewer votes, which is an absolutely miserable reason.  

Figure out who the “other side“ is. Bus them in. Give them polls open for two weeks. Personally deliver their ballot to them identify them and take their ballot back to the polls. Whatever Hass to be done to make sure that everybody who is eligible to vote and wants to vote does vote.

mail in doesn’t validate anything.  Lol. Where do you think the saying “he just mailed it in” comes from

I don't know what any of that means.  Oh my God if we let people vote by mail then...more people might vote?  That's the objection?

Why are you pretending to not understand when I know you do? The objection is there is absolutely no control over where the ballots go who fills them out and how and when they get returned. In the financial world we call it controls and risk management. It would be an absolute joke an absolute free-for-all benefiting neither side.  Anybody appointed to oversee the integrity of an election that would openly allow massive mail in ballots would be terminated immediately and should be. 
What is so hard about what I said? Who is it that wants to vote that can’t? Why can’t they do an absentee ballot? Why can’t we figure out who they are and make new polling places in their various locations?

Risk management - banks send loan applications out based on little to nothing by the millions. I deposited a check just yesterday, that I received through the mail, by taking a picture of it.

There is no real reason we can't do this for voting. That we don't is due mostly to corruption and laziness.

absolutely no comparison but nice try
