2020 Elections

Preach it!

I saw a story a couple of weeks ago that the campaign and or the RNC are paying both trump boys' female sidekicks a nice six figure yearly sum.

Yep, that too.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale:



Biden aide Andrew Bates:



"You should have considered the term 'Death Star' a little more carefully-what with the 100,000 or more people who are likely to die because of your candidate's failed leadership."
-- David Rothkopf, an anti-Trump commentator

Me: Whether in the WH or his campaign PINO hires the most incompetent staff ever.

I find it a little disturbing that Trump's 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, resembles someone who could be the kingpin of a meth distribution biker gang... and apparently his own history isn't much better...

"The best"


‘Full Steam Ahead’ for Trump’s Convention? North Carolina Has Doubts
The president craves a nationally televised coronation with cheering supporters, but even Republican lawmakers in North Carolina are expressing doubts it can take place as planned.

We don’t need thousands of diseased Repugs coming to my NC . . . especially if some of them have CV-19 .

This will be interesting to see what happens, not just to NC but also to many core Repugs that will get sick just when election season needs them. I almost certainly will not join the protests, but I support them.

Senate map shifts to Democrats over COVID-19

No predictions from me yet, but the Repugs may get routed from top to bottom .

Yeah, things change quicky - good and bad - but the trends are definitely there. We can only hope (and vote and vote and vote)

You and I vote in purple states. It makes it all a bit more meaningful and exciting.

'It's all rigged': Trump foreshadows how he could undermine presidential election

Donald Trump falsely accused Democrats of trying to “steal” Tuesday’s special election in California amid the Covid-19 pandemic by adding a polling place in one of the most diverse sections of a district.

But the county actually added the polling location at the request of the area’s Republican mayor....

Opps.

Hypothetically, if a person did want to risk jail (if they're a black Texas female), and wanted to vote in two states, I wonder what the mechanism for checking nationally is. Let's say a person is registered and gets a mail-in ballot in, oh, Florida, and then registers and gets a mail-in ballot somewhere else, say California. Sure s/he would have to sign under penalty of perjury that they aren't voting anywhere else, and if they admit to being registered in some other state, the new state will (maybe/likely/possibly) notify the old state, but suppose they don't list a previous state. How would "California" know s/he was registered somewhere else if s/he didn't tell them? Seems there would have to be some national database to match names and then other identifiers, which apparently there isn't. Seems anybody that legit changed residences in the election year could - accidentally or intentionally - cast mail-in ballots in both places. Even if everybody who could tried it and did it (even temporarily) successfully, it wouldn't be enough to have much of an effect on any election, and obviously the risk - whatever it is - is greater than the potential reward, but it does seem it would be possible to "vote early, vote often."

I believe that one or more of the 45SHOLE Klan was caught registered in both NJ and NY, though there was no evidence that they double voted.

Unless millions were doing it, perhaps with targeting of particular states, I think you're correct that it would be too small and dispersed to have an effect, and not worth the hassle or risk to any individual.

I would be very surprised if many of Hendersonville's summer residents from FL do not vote twice. It's a logical assumption; many of them are proud members of the cult of lies and ignorance and for most of the recent past, both NC and FL have been GOP laboratories for ways to steal elections like voter id, shorter early voting, closing of certain polling places, etc. I like it when GOP wingnuts squawk about voter fraud and the only fraud that is ever found is fraud committed by GOP operatives. Hilarious.

That's a fun thought, but it wouldn't work for most snowbirds. You'd have to establish actual residency in both states, and most documents of residency cancel out another. For example, when you get a drivers' licence or car registration, your previous state is cancelled. But apparently there isn't any way to easily or universally tell if you're registered to vote somewhere else. Oh, you can to go a Florida database and find if a person is registered, but do they? And even if they do, what if you've already got your mail-in ballot? The highly and inaccurately touted "voter fraud" really isn't very easy on an individual basis, and even so, it wouldn't matter much.

Idk if counties or even states look at out of state registrations, but it wouldn't surprise me if the parties do, and then complain after sorting by party registration or zip code. All it takes is paying for the databases and a computer program, right? Common names might be a dead end, but uncommon ones? After all, someone discovered the PINO Klan member/s with double registrations. The Repugs could even sort by ethnic names.

As of May 12, 2020, Electoral-vote.com is predicting the Dems will retake the US Senate this November, 51-49.

https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2020/ ... May12.html

Thanks!

NC, MI, MT & AZ are "Likely Dem"!!!!
It's a little disappointing that VA is only "Barely Dem", but excellent that ME & NH are.
It's a little surprising that AK is only "Barely GOP". I can dream.

Howard Stern says that the people who love trump the most are the people trump detests. Hilarious. But even this will not sway the cult members to abandon their allegiance to the cult of lies and ignorance.

I don't think much of " the people who love trump the most," either. Funny that we have that in common.

On the campaign trail, vulnerable Senate Republicans tout accomplishments, sidestep Trump mentions in ads


PINO is figuratively and literally the angel of death this year.

[O Really]

"Accomplishments"

[GoCubsGo]

Justin, we barely knew ye.......

[O Really]

After much reflection, I’ve concluded that circumstances don’t lend themselves to my success as a candidate for president this year, and therefore I will not be a candidate.

Ya think?

Translation: I managed to get my name in the news for a couple of weeks, got more people recognizing my name than just my family, so that I can run for maybe senator next election.
