yeah that one's a fuck job. That's what you get with stupid hand counting

 

[Lily]

I think they use machines. But when you mail them in or drop them off they're in an envelope. Each voter has to sign theirs. If they're unsigned, there is an option to cure them.

[Edgar Friendly]

There shouldn't be. Do it right or it doesn't count.

 

[Lily]

I'm guessing they only bother in very tight races.

Country: "Okay, that's it! Test's over, pencils down everyone."

California: *scribblescribblescribblescribble*

Honestly, @Courier Six, that how I thought it was done. My county is very blue, so I never realized there were races that close.

 

[Lily]

But a lot of people from the blue areas have migrated out to red counties due to high housing costs and they are turning purple...

 

[Lily]

Well, some of them are.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

You can see, I hope, why people look at that and think it's dirty pool, right?

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I mean the post- election "let's keep scrounging up more ballots that aren't properly authenticated"

 

[Lily]

It's apparently the law. I can tell you that both sides are curing. So, it appears that whomever does a better job, wins.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

IMO, it's bad law, and neither side should be permitted to do it.

 

[Admin.]

They're not creating ballots just taking a close look at some of them. Oregon works pretty much the same way. Oregon has been 100% mail in ballots over 20 years, extremely few problems.

same in vermont

I voted mail-in here in Arizona. Every candidate I voted for was a write-in, of course. I voted U.B. Trippen for President.

 

[jack]

well i voted in person. I had to bring my mail in.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I voted 539 times. Oh wait, that's an alternate universe where I'm a Democrat.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I know, right? Like there's any universe where I'd soil myself by being a Democrat.

 

[Seamajor]

You should be deported ya useless bastard

 

[Seamajor]

Now go tell Stubby

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I almost registered Libertarian, until I saw their open-border policies and realized that they're the Democrats with a different hat on. So I registered United States Pirate Party.

 

[Seamajor]

Sounds like it’s difficult finding work

 

[jack]

I changed my reg from dem to ind

 

[jack]

and voted the way I liked

 

[Lily]

@Courier Six. Honest question: if you want to move policy forward, at some point don't you have to choose a party? A non-vote doesn't really accomplish anything.

 

[Lily]

Sure, you might get a "protest" vote, but it seems to me that participating actively gets more accomplished. Maybe not immediately, but over time.

 

[jack]

"IND" is legit. It allows you to vote however you like whenever you're in the ballot box.

 

[Lily]

I don't think any choice is illegitimate. Not voting at all and complaining might be the exception.
