... “And then come Election Day, and you’ll see that, I think, it’s not just about having poll watchers. It’s about having trained poll watchers and lawyers at locations around the country as necessary. And these are people who will be trained and able to physically count how many ballots are coming in. And how many ballots are going out.”

What about this part of the comments by Psycho Lara?
"Trained poll watchers at locations." Sounds like Brown Shirt Nazis standing around, and their whole purpose there is to intimidate people who just want to vote in peace.

Have you ever been a poll watcher?

I assure you, there are never poll watchers counting people going in and out of a polling location.
That is intimidation, and all based on wacked-out, conspiracy lunacy.

But you never objected to THIS intimidation by "Poll Watchers" from Black Panthers in Philadelphia on behalf of Obama:

Quote
Two members of the New Black Panther Party, Minister King Samir Shabazz, and Jerry Jackson, stood in front of the entrance to the polling station in uniforms that have been described as military or paramilitary.[5][6] Minister King Samir Shabazz carried a billy club, and is reported to have pointed it at voters while both men shouted racial slurs,[7] including phrases such as "white devil" and "you're about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."[8]

Quote
In response to this controversy, the New Black Panther Party suspended its Philadelphia chapter and repudiated Minister King Shabazz in a posting at its website.[18] The party stated that Shabazz made "an honest error" by bringing a billy club to the polling station and that because of his doing so he had been suspended from the New Black Panther Party until January 2010.[19]

Quote
In December 2010, the Civil Rights Commission released a report concluding that their investigations had uncovered "numerous specific examples of open hostility and opposition" within the Department of Justice to pursuing cases in which whites were the victims. The report accused the Department of Justice of failing to cooperate with investigations into its reason for dropping the case, stating "While the department has issued general statements that it enforces the laws without regard to race, these assurances do not confirm, deny or explain the specific allegations of misconduct […] Unfortunately, the department has thus far refused to address many of these specific claims or to provide the type of information that would allow the commission to properly review the decision making relating to the NBPP lawsuit."[33][34]

Either the above is not "poll watching", or it's the most recent example of what you fear actually happened.  Not by the Orange Cheetoh.  Not by Christian Nationalists.  But by the New Black Panther Party on behalf of Barack Obama.

Do you condemn these folks as the Brown Shirts you were just ranting about?  That's a simple question, because you raised the issue.

Lolololol! Not only did pretty much every single red Avatar or other leftist on the site and in the real world condemn this, but the fact you're going back 16 full years to try to find the only recorded instance of black on white voter intimidation probably in our country's history is beyond pathetic.

 State and local governments and Republican organizations engaging in ballot fraud and intimidation on a regular basis for decades- fuzzy shrugs. One group of jackasses engage in arguably illegal behavior - which again neither I nor any other Progressive under the sun disagrees with - and the old white racist Boomer is scarred for life and truly believes voter intimidation is a both sides issue between the races. LOL LOL

Ballot harvesting is not shady unless you don't follow the rules (like setting up illegal drop boxes for vote collection like Republicans have done). Overall it sounds like the strategy is to challenge every vote not for Trump and make voting more difficult.

I could post a thousand links showing the contrary but this one should suffice:
7 Elections Reversed After Ballot Harvesting Scandals

It IS shady and just way too easy to abuse. But anyway, you are not going to agree so I really hope the RNC strategy involves republicans collecting ballots at churches, landlords/bosses blackmailing their tenants/workers for their votes, and canvassers coercing or bribing the homeless/addicts/mentally unstable to vote their way (very real examples that actually happened at a large enough scale to swing elections per the article) all leading to Trump winning by a narrow margin. Maybe that'll actually get dems to reconsider.


All those examples are election fraud. I'm talking about allowing an authorized party to return signed and sealed ballots with a voter signature plus an authorized return agent stipulated on the envelope.

You complain that ballot harvesting is a problem, yet you say that you hope Trump wins by fraud. You aren't joking. Some of you all have lost your rabid ass minds.

Ballot Harvesting is a Bad Idea whose time has come.

The only apparent difference from your opposition less than a year ago being that now Republicans have embraced the idea. How morally consistent of you!

I agree.  But Republicans need to learn it, because it seems to be part of the game.

Such moral consistency!
