continue to be impacted.

The democrats used the pandemic to win the last presidential election,
with special voting rules, and with the mid-term elections coming up,
they are going to try and do it again.
While telling everyone to wear masks again, Nancy Pelosi doesn't wear
one.

that's got nothing to do with being a Democrat. Instead, it's an act of

I support a limited version ballot harvesting whereby each
voter can predesignate people who are authorized to collect
their ballot (and campaign and party officials are not
permitted). The Supreme Court just upheld an Arizona
regulation that outlawed ballot harvesting even as applied to
Native Americans who live on reservations who lack access to
mail service. Disgusting. And finally, the only illegal use of
ballot harvesting was by the Republican North Carolina
congressional candidate referred in your link. And he almost

That's not the job of the government, that is for each party to do if
they want to get voters registered. That's how I got registered. I
was at a school for something I forget, but there were two ladies
sitting at a table, and when I walked by they asked me if I was
registered to vote. I think I was 21 or 22 years old.

No idea. Maybe newspapers, TV, radio, and billboards? Spanish as well

No idea. Maybe newspapers, TV, radio, and billboards? Spanish as well

Most definitely not by the political parties. These have to be
non-partisan affairs that are run in the same way no matter which party
is in power and without preference for any particular class of voter.

As I have said many times here, I am in favor of voter ID so
long as 1) the government goes well out of its way to get
people registered to vote and issued ID, 2) permits permanent
opt-in to no-excuse mail-in voting and 3) provides ample
in-person early voting.
Maybe, but a lot depends on the meaning of "well out of its
way".
How about very-well advertised voter registration on many
weekends in the community in places like malls and other places
people go to?
That's not the job of the government, that is for each party to
do if they want to get voters registered. That's how I got
registered. I was at a school for something I forget, but there
were two ladies sitting at a table, and when I walked by they
asked me if I was registered to vote. I think I was 21 or 22
years old.
If the government insists on voter ID to combat fraud (a legitimate
government interest), it becomes a legitimate government interest
to overcome obstacles to voting created by the government.
What obstacles?
Getting an ID. That's why I call for the government to proactively
get people registered with their IDs.
How many American citizens don't have an ID?

registration and ID issuance when coupled with voter ID except you don't
want eligible people to vote.

No. But, that doesn't change my argument because having to request an ID

If the government insists on voter ID to combat fraud (a
legitimate
government interest), it becomes a legitimate government
interest to
overcome obstacles to voting created by the government.
What obstacles?
Getting an ID. That's why I call for the government to
proactively get
people registered with their IDs.
I'm not aware of any state with a voter ID law that does not issue >>>>>> free IDs to all those qualified who request them. Can you provide a >>>>>> real life example to the contrary?
No. But, that doesn't change my argument because having to request

They are obstacles for both.

Repeating: very-well advertised voter registration on many weekends in
the community in places like malls and other places people go to. Why do
you oppose this idea?
BTW I just submitted a mail-in ballot for the
California recall election. Looking good for Larry Elder. (-8

Huh? I don't get it. Having to request an ID is an obstacle? If you

exactly is "proactive registration"?
Having to get an ID is an obstacle. Having to show up at the polls on
election day is an obstacle. Having to go to the gorcery store is an
obstacle. I explained "proactive registration" already (see above). Why
do you oppose it?
Why is going to the grocery store or filling out an absentee ballot an

They are obstacles for both.
Sorry, but I still don't get why or what "proactive registration"
really means. Are you hinting at, or avoiding, the unfortunate fact

Repeating: very-well advertised voter registration on many weekends in
the community in places like malls and other places people go to. Why do

California's recall system is fucked up. It basically says you can rerun
election day over and over again. That's not how democracy is supposed
to work. Once you are elected, you should only be turned out before the
next election for grievous errors (perhaps enforced by a requirement of
a 65% vote to recall). If Elder were governor, I would vote against his
recall on that principle. Additionally, how stupid is it that the
replacement can win with less than 30% or even 20% of the vote.
Well it is what it is. I agree that the recall process is strange to
say the least, but in all fairness California is a Democrat dominated
state, so no need to point the finger anywhere else.
BTW, as you may

With walk in voting using computers, the election will be decided as

The only people that should be allowed to mail in their vote are
disabled people, and people over 65.
The only reason Josh wants mail in voting, is because it will benefit
the democrats. The people Josh wants to have mail in voting are the
people that are too lazy to go to the polls.
People that are too lazy to vote in person don't deserve a say in how
this country if governed.

something I forget, but there were two ladies sitting
at a table, and when I walked by they asked me if I
was registered to vote. I think I was 21 or 22 years
old.
If the government insists on voter ID to combat fraud
(a legitimate government interest), it becomes a
legitimate government interest to overcome obstacles
to voting created by the government.
What obstacles?
Getting an ID. That's why I call for the government to
proactively get people registered with their IDs.
I'm not aware of any state with a voter ID law that does
not issue free IDs to all those qualified who request
them. Can you provide a real life example to the
contrary?
No. But, that doesn't change my argument because having to
request an ID is an obstacle. I can think of no reason to
oppose proactive registration and ID issuance when coupled
with voter ID except you don't want eligible people to
vote.
Huh? I don't get it. Having to request an ID is an obstacle?
If you wish to vote, is having to actually vote an obstacle?
If you are hungry is having to go to the grocery store an
obstacle? So what exactly is "proactive registration"?
Having to get an ID is an obstacle. Having to show up at the
polls on election day is an obstacle. Having to go to the
gorcery store is an obstacle. I explained "proactive
registration" already (see above). Why do you oppose it?
Why is going to the grocery store or filling out an absentee
ballot an obstacle for Democrats, but not Republicans??
They are obstacles for both.
Sorry, but I still don't get why or what "proactive
registration" really means. Are you hinting at, or avoiding,
the unfortunate fact that many Democrats are illiterate?
Repeating: very-well advertised voter registration on many
weekends in the community in places like malls and other places
people go to. Why do you oppose this idea?
I don't oppose it. Registration to include proof of citizenship
and results in issuance of a photo ID. OK with you?
Yes. We have a deal. Voter ID with proactive registrationand
issuance of photo ID (with proof of citizenship), one-time
permanent application for no-excuse mail-in voting (with
signature match), and in-person early voting.
OK, a deal it is.
Do you want the same mess as last election? That's exactly what you
will have if anyone can get a one-time permanent application for mail
in voting.
With walk in voting using computers, the election will be decided as
soon as the polls close. There won't be weeks of hand counting.
The only people that should be allowed to mail in their vote are
disabled people, and people over 65.
The only reason Josh wants mail in voting, is because it will benefit
the democrats. The people Josh wants to have mail in voting are the
people that are too lazy to go to the polls.
People that are too lazy to vote in person don't deserve a say in howI do believe that registration to vote should be limited to those
this country if governed.

Well it is what it is. I agree that the recall process is strange to

state, so no need to point the finger anywhere else.
Recall was established in 1911, long before California became a

What's the issue?
No issue, but interesting. Email notifications of the travels of your

local registrar. Also, a way to review the status of your
registration. Not that important, but interesting.

I think the democrats are preparing for the
mid term elections. They want another lock
down.
Lock downs are unpopular. If the Democrats
want one for political reasons, they are
stupid.
Conservatives are naturally honest, it's
ingrained -- thus not much in the way of
election cheating. Ballot harvesting, fraud,
cheating, and bus loads of fake voters is a
Democrat specialty.
It's hard to get more fucked up than this.
How about this:
"Election fraud Chicago style: Illinois
decades-old notoriety for election corruption
is legendary" ... "A political scientist at
the University of Illinois at Chicago
concluded, The Chicago metropolitan region
has been the most corrupt area in the country
since 1976, in an obdurate race to the
bottom with Louisianas record. According to
that 2012 study, Illinois is the third-most
corrupt state in the union, after New York
and California."
https://www.salon.com/2016/02/14/election_fraud_chicago_style_illinois_decades_old_notoriety_for_election_corruption_is_legendary/
Chicago has a dark history (the Daley machine
comes to mind). But, that's got nothing to do
with being a Democrat. Instead, it's an act of
the power hungry (ditto for Tammany Hall in
NYC).
Or this:
"The Stupidity of Ballot Harvesting and How It
Steals Elections" ... "There is another new
term in our lexicon ballot harvesting.
It has begun to spread across the country and
there could not be anything that is more
destructive to protecting the sanctity of our
democracy than this idea. Just look at North
Carolina and California." ... "It makes sense
that the same people who encourage ballot
harvesting are against voter ID laws or
having county registrars clean the voter
rolls."
https://townhall.com/columnists/brucebialosky/2019/02/10/the-stupidity-of-ballot-harvesting-and-how-it-steals-elections-n2540993
I support a limited version ballot harvesting
whereby each voter can predesignate people who
are authorized to collect their ballot (and
campaign and party officials are not
permitted). The Supreme Court just upheld an
Arizona regulation that outlawed ballot
harvesting even as applied to Native Americans
who live on reservations who lack access to
mail service. Disgusting. And finally, the
only illegal use of ballot harvesting was by
the Republican North Carolina congressional
candidate referred in your link. And he almost
certainly filled out ballots against the
wishes of the voters.
Bottom line, Democrats seem to oppose any voting
requirement that makes fraud more difficult --
such as voter IDs. Why is that?
It's because it simultaneously makes legitimate
voting more difficult, something Republicans seem
to always oppose.
More difficult for who, and specifically why?
Folks who don't drive for obvious reasons.
BTW -- "Of 47 nations surveyed in Europe -- a
place where, on other matters, American
progressives often look to with envy -- all but
one country requires a government-issued photo
voter ID to vote."
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2021/06/04/study-46-out-of-47-european-countries-require-photo-id-to-vote-n2590454
As I have said many times here, I am in favor of
voter ID so long as 1) the government goes well out
of its way to get people registered to vote and
issued ID, 2) permits permanent opt-in to no-excuse
mail-in voting and 3) provides ample in-person
early voting.
Maybe, but a lot depends on the meaning of "well out
of its way".
How about very-well advertised voter registration on
many weekends in the community in places like malls
and other places people go to?
That's not the job of the government, that is for each
party to do if they want to get voters registered.

Personally, I'm leery of harvesting. Why is it necessary if all the
voter needs to do is pop the ballot in the mail. First I heard of
harvesting was several years ago -- blank ballots were being collected
for an ethnic group (Indian tribe?) and filled in after collection. A
son can collect a sealed ballot from his elderly father and just drop
it in a mail box. Why does he have to be appointed? The whole process
sounds fishy.
As for the election being stolen, I don't buy it. Trump's attorneys
were charged with producing the proof -- which they failed to do.
That's the way our system of laws was designed to work.

As was the case in the Supreme Court case from Arizona, many of the
Indians don't have mail service and you can't rely on a relative. Why
not make it easier to vote by permitting the type of limited harvesting
I describe which doesn't lead to fraud because the voter themselves said
it was OK.

citizenship should be limited by the necessity of a car trip or
bus ride.
It seems like it would be easy to understand after watching the
ballots counted at the last election.
In person or mailed in, they are all subject to fraud. I admit that
mail in ballots are subject to another kind of fraud. If
"harvested", the collector can fill in blank signed ballots and
discard ones that vote for the "wrong" candidate.
As I previously said, I support harvesting that is limited to persons
named by the voter who aren't campaign or party officials nor are
paid to collect the ballot. But I believe Johnny is claiming the
election was stolen from Trump because mail-in voting was expanded
due to the pandemic. What nonsense.
Did the democrats win the election because of mail in voting?

Do you want the same mess as last election? That's exactlyI do believe that registration to vote should be limited to
what you will have if anyone can get a one-time permanent
application for mail in voting.
With walk in voting using computers, the election will be
decided as soon as the polls close. There won't be weeks of
hand counting.
The only people that should be allowed to mail in their vote
are disabled people, and people over 65.
The only reason Josh wants mail in voting, is because it will
benefit the democrats. The people Josh wants to have mail in
voting are the people that are too lazy to go to the polls.
People that are too lazy to vote in person don't deserve a say
in how this country if governed.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way, it's not a stolen election because
there is nothing fraudulent.

It's been explained that with ballot harvesting, the fraud can take
place before the ballots are counted.
Fortunately each state has its own voting laws, and the federal
government can do nothing about it.
