Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The technology is certainly there. What's missing is the political will.

The wife watches the local news, which is about all the network TV I get any exposure to, and of course half the ads, it seems, are political.  My "solution" to political ads is this.

No ad can mention any name other than the person running for office (or the VP in that race).

You can talk all you want about your opponent, but you can't mention his or her name. This would apply to PAC ads.  You can't show his or her photo or refer to him or her at all.

Nearly all the ads are attack ads, because they work, scaring us into voting against, not for.

Lot of 1st amendment issues there, I'm afraid. Plus the point of PACs is they work somewhat independently so they can say they're just some people interested in informing the public one candidate or another eats children. 

Can't legislate people into not being smarmy jackasses, I'm afraid.

Yeah,  I wondered about that.  

My son remained on our voter rolls for several years.  His name was next to mine.  I mentioned it to them, but they are just volunteers of course and couldn't do anything about it.  Unless the voter rolls are "clean", you'd get quite a few dead people being sent ballots via mail.  And I routinely get mail for the folks who lived here before us.  I get mail for folks who live in different units routinely, 2-3 times a week.

And then there is intentional acts like hiding mail or getting bags of mail the day the ballots are sent out.  It wouldn't take much to manage that in BG states.

I think a LOT of safe guards would need to be devised before I, and many others, would trust a mail result.

Nominated for post of the day.

I get mail for my Dad on occasion. We shared the same name. He died in 2012.

Seconded.   

i’m not voting for either of these candidates because I dislike them both. I think that makes me uniquely qualified unbiased.

If the Democrats are so confident of Biden’s popularity and trumps not popularity, which they clearly are and that is represented very well here in this forum, I don’t understand why they’re so concerned about getting mail in ballots out there.

Say what?

Going to guess POTUS Is not who is being quoted here otherwise I would’ve seen calls for impeachment and screams of racism for 12 straight hours
