    It's valid enough for me to want to avoid any discussion with you about politics, in partular.

    But to the accusation: that is a false perception on your part.
    I'm not alone, Jim - you're in a bubble full of confirmation bias fueled by your obsession with your hatred for all things Trump.

    I push back against falsehoods I see propagating on this website, regardless of which 'party' is pushing them.
    I'm sure you believe that, but I'm probably not the only one who does not.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Not really. I'll take them seriously when they are submitted to a court and the court finds them credible. That doesn't seem very likely at this late date.

      Of course the way the system is set up -- which has already been discussed -- there's no way to follow up on those affidavits because the mechanism for cataloging precisely who cast a vote and for whom does not exist by design. What you have is a list of names, a stack of ballots, and a vote total. If there are more ballots than names, or more votes counted than there are ballots -- which seems to be the usual scenario in Democrat precincts -- then this is strong evidence that fraud was committed, but what are we supposed to do about it? How are we supposed to identify which ballots are fraudulent and the person(s) responsible for casting or counting them?
      If there was a way to match voters to ballots, it wouldn't be a secret ballot.

      It's common for the count of voters to be slightly different from the count of ballots, since they are being counted by human beings, and human beings make mistakes. If you want to claim that there was ever a significant difference between the counts, feel free to document it.

      Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the "irregularities" that happened during the 2020 election:

      So it's not a question of if fraud was committed but to what extent, and because of the way the system is designed, we will almost certainly never get a definitive answer.
      So you're going to just ignore all the court cases where this "evidence" could have been introduced if it was any good?

              This could be solved in one-fell swoop if it was made a law that voting was to be done in-person only with a photo ID on voting day, but Democrats, of course, are strenuously opposed to any such idea.
              One of the things that old Joe declared was "Jim Crow 2.0" here in Georgia is that drop off ballot boxes now have to be monitored and can't just be placed anywhere. Even something as obviously common sense as that was bitterly opposed by the Democrats.

                There is also the issue that every single "glitch" that was detected just happened to favor the Democrats. Statistically speaking the chances of that are very small indeed.

It makes it a little hard to investigate the claims.

                  Also, it is not illegal (and hardly surprising) for some people to vote against Trump and leave the rest of the ballot blank.
                  I think it was the local NBC affiliate that showed video from across the street of an unattended ballot box getting stuffed near Atlanta, but there is really no way to determine which ballots in it are legitimate and which aren't. IIRC, it was dismissed as unimportant because they figure it was only a couple dozen phony ballots.

                    That's because any cases brought to court before the election were dismissed as lacking standing because the election hadn't happened yet, and therefore the plaintiffs had suffered no harm, and any cases brought after were dismissed on basis that the election had already happened, and therefore the plaintiff's objections were moot. I get the sense that no judge wanted to give the appearance of interfering with the election even if they had to deny due process in order to keep up that appearance. As it sands, the evidence pointing to election fraud has never gotten a full hearing in court, which is a travesty.

                        And, as I pointed out, secret ballots are a fatal flaw in the system because when there are significant discrepancies between the number of voters, the number of ballots cast, and the number of votes counted, there is currently no way to determine which of those ballots are fraudulent. If every vote could be traced back to the individual who cast it, that would plug a big hole in our voting system.

                        And the best part is, this is a wholly bipartisan issue, because a secure voting system benefits everybody, regardless of political party.

                          An interesting story out of Texas. After the November election, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (a Republican) offered an award of up to one million dollars to any person who uncovered evidence of voter fraud. Well, Patrick just made his first payment. It was made to a Democrat in Pennsylvania, who received $25,000 for proving that a registered Republican tried to vote twice. After casting a legal vote, Ralph Thurman apparently put on sunglasses and a baseball cap and tried to vote a second time. Fortunately, a poll worker named Eric Frank saw through Thurman's clever disguise and reported him to the authorities.

                          This is easy money. I wonder why more Americans haven't come forward with evidence of election fraud.

                          https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/22/polit...ard/index.html

                          I conclude with a quote from Trump:

                          “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again."

                          Turns out Trump was right...
                          So apparently voter ID is a good thing then, eh?

                            No you don't. You 'push back' against anything that is remotely linked to Trump in any positive regard.

                            Not a peep as far as I have seen about the current President's many very dubious activities.

                            Juvie 'attacked' CP, not a peep from you, it's CP who is the one being aggressive.



                            Effectively you've become a Democrat troll. Sad.

                              Ironic coming from someone who supports the side trying to "fix" elections so that they are never voted out of power ever again.

                                Your projection is showing again.

                                IF such a thing were ever to come about, at least you can have the satisfaction that you did everything within your power to make it more likely to happen. Keep on trolling, it makes your dream more probable....
