Yes , you’re allowed to show up and vote in person , of course , but can you vote twice ? Do you trust the system to catch a double vote ? That’s what I’m saying . Don’t know if it would or wouldn’t , just saying I would t be surprised - with all the chaos surrounding the election this year- if it would not . ->You are reliant on electronic systems in many aspects of your life. This is not something new or odd. The voting procedure in NY allows for duplicate votes to give residents the opportunity to vote in person should they have any concerns about their mailed ballots (ie. will it arrive on time?). Not only does the system catch duplicate ballots and, in these cases, accept only the in person vote, but there are other double and triple checking protocols in place to catch errors, should they arise. Concerns about people voting twice and getting to keep both votes are not actually real. They are part of Trump’s messaging campaign to save face and aim to stay relevant past January. Don’t let him fool you. Also , I read that slot of people received ballots not requested and they were blanket mailing them in certain areas . If someone not registered to vote was to get one , could they fill it out , sign it and vote ? Maybe IDK ->Once again, this ain’t a real concern. Duplicate and unregistered ballots are not counted. Think about the numbers required and how complex a strategy would have to be to pull off something like this. Claims of widespread voter fraud have been investigated by Democrat and Republican administrations and all of them have turned up nothing. Don’t let them fool you. And , if this indeed did happen , BOTH sides should be concerned , because if we lose faith and trust in our election process , our Republic goes out the window I’m afraid ->There is no evidence of fraud. Trump lawsuits are being dismissed left and right because they can’t substantiate anything. Don’t let them fool you. As an aside , not really sure why you referred to my Comments as Trumpism and suggested he was preying upon the weak minded ness of his followers . Does voting for a certain candidate make them a Follower ? Are you Biden follower, or , did you just vote for him because you agreed with his policies more ? I have been more than critical of Trump over his Presidency , especially over his handling of the pandemic so I’m no Trumper . -> Look, even Fox News had to cut away from Trump’s press conference yesterday because their allegations were so absurd and entirely unsubstantiated. This is no longer Republican va Democrat. This has become Trumpism vs reason. Also , I clearly posed it as a rhetorical question hoping for feedback and a discussion ; not presenting it as a fact . You guys complain when conservatives are insulting to your side and I agree with that sentiment but then, hypocritically , do it yourselves . No need to insult , keep it respectful !! A series of suggestive question that bring reality into question does more violence than actually stating your opinions directly. Don’t hide behind “soft suggestions” or “rhetorical questions.” This is a common approach by uninformed right wingers who haven’t spent time thinking things through yet still feel their opinions have merit.

It’s settled. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/voting-fraud.html

Voting by mail options were made widely available because we are in the middle of a generational global pandemic. Furthermore, increasing voting access is a good thing for Democracy. Let’s do a mental exercise. Play out this voter fraud scenario that you propose for us. Give me a play by play. We’ll game out the feasibility that your technique may actually be implemented to commit widespread voter fraud.

This is the problem with Trumpism: he preys on the stupidity and laziness of folks to advance false narratives. Then his followers simply parrot him and propose fictitious scenarios without actually understanding the process they question. In New York if you vote by mail, you are allowed to show up at your voting site and vote in person if you’ve changed your mind or if you fear that your mailed ballot will not arrive in time to be counted. The system is design to reject the mailed in vote if you also submit an in person vote.

Trump’s lawsuits are being rejected by Republican judges. There is no evidence of widespread fraud or cause to stall the transition.

Or perhaps there simply is no evidence (nor has there ever been) of widespread voter fraud. This has been repeatedly demonstrated by both Democrat and Republican led investigations.

Even Fox News recognizes the falsehood of Trump’s election fraud claims. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I just think we have to be very clear," Cavuto said, referring to McEnany's statements. "She's charging the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can't in good countenance continue showing you this." https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2020/11/09/fox-cuts-coverage-kayleigh-mcenany-trump-campaign-press-conference/6228124002/

No, they are counted. If the margin is big enough they can call a winner with outstanding votes pending.

These accusations are absurd. Every single one is 100% fitting for Trump. Harris proudly displaying her mixed race background is corrupt? Have you not been awake for the last 4 years?

Oops, this is a crossbow thread...

Fingers crossed

I’d feel much better about it if I were using a crossbow. I need to make time to shoot at clays

My apologies, you never said you did. That was phantom trolling and I bit.

It’s ok to hate him - he’s a piece of shit.

No, those crying about the election outcome and hoping that conspiracy theories will hold up in court are clowns. Actually, idiots is the more fitting descriptor.

Looking like 306. Good luck.

Put up a few birds and missed some very easy shots as I’m wont to do. Bagged my share of vitamin D.

Any chance Biden opens his speech saying that he received a call from Trump congratulating him for the victory?

My pleasure. Biden’s about to speak. Don’t miss it.

Canvassing and recounting are not the same. Read up on election/voting procedures.

Look, Trump is within his right to pursue legal action and prove his case before a judge. What he can’t be allowed to do is to undermine our democracy with baseless accusations. The fact is, there is nothing there, no matter how comforting that may be to you. If he manages to find a handful of miscounted votes, etc, it will not overcome the 4 million + votes Biden is leading by. The American people have spoken.

Jesus, read something

It’s so disappointing to witness the willing ignorance of others in real time. If you’re going to reference a worthless article from Fox, actually F-ing read it. I’ll give you a hand this time - see if this inspires you to do your own legwork going forward. Here is the non-news news article with the provocative title “Michigan GOP chairwoman says software glitch tallied thousands of Republican votes as Democrat.” If you read the article, you quickly learn that this was a non-issue because the standard canvassing procedures would catch any such errors. Here is the Fox article quote: “It’s natural to wonder whether similar problems could have occurred in other jurisdictions that use the same machine. Fortunately, even if the county hadn’t noticed, this would have been caught and corrected during Michigan’s normal canvassing procedures, when they compare the results to the paper tapes from the machines,” he added.” here is the link: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-gop-chairwoman-says-software-glitch-tallied-thousands-of-republican-votes-as-democrat

That’s how counting works, you jackass. You don’t simply get to pick the votes you like and dismiss the rest.
