If people can order stuff from Amazon, then we can have mail in voting this November.

So you're comparing the efficiency of the largest corporation on earth to the efficiency (and political motives) of the U.S. government? Since Covid, it's estimated that in some local elections, up to 20% of mail in ballots were fraudulent.. Add to the fact that the American Postal Workers Union endorsed Joe Biden for president, and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

This shows very little understanding of how votes are counted or where fraud would likely show up. The postal workers don't even open the ballots and why would they disappear a bunch of ballots? It would be very difficult to do with physical ballots (much easier to disappear electronic votes on easily hacked voting machines) and they'd have no idea who any of these people are voting for anyway. The federal government, moreover, is currently controlled by Republicans who would have a much easier time hacking the vote if hacking were to occur since they are in charge of more of the infrastructure and have a Supreme Court majority. Either way, though, it's a lot harder to steal an election than you seem to think. The election has to be very close to make it credibly steal-able. I think the reason Trump wants to delay is he's starting to see that it's not going to be close because of how much he dropped the ball on Covid. If he were a sensible person he would realize that stopping the spread of Covid is literally the only way he could win in November, but he's either too dumb to see that or it's gone so far that we wouldn't be able to stop it without the most draconian measures.

Truther Top 40+ Ways Voting Is A Rigged Joke

I have more confidence a letter will reach Santa at the North Pole than there could ever be an honest election.

It's not difficult to rig an election when 5 monopolies control all the media and the executives sit on each other's boards and hang out at the Bilderberg meetings.

Uh huh, great. So if you think the voting is all going to be rigged anyway, at least we could let people stay home and not get Covid on top of everything else.

Call me crazy, but I tend to trust doctors/nurses and primary sources like medical research when it comes to diseases, rather than scouring through a bunch of rando internet forums. A former teacher of mine had to be hospitalized for Covid, as did both of one of my friend's parents, so excuse me if I think that it's worthwhile not to gather in crowded spaces or wear a piece of cloth over my face. Also, other countries exist and I see how they've handled the virus. I have friends working abroad all over the world and most of them have been able to resume semi-normal lives because their governments aren't being held captive by anti-science types.

I'm not 100% against conspiracy theories either, but they have to have A) a credible motive B) be something that could actually be kept secret by the amount of people who would need to keep it secret. These Covid conspiracy theories have neither, but especially not B. And even if some of these theories had any truth to them they'd have no relevance to whether we should vote by mail which is no different than voting in person because again, everything gets tabulated by the same people using the same systems and mail-in ballots would 100% be invalidated if those voters weren't on the lists of registered voters that the city clerks and poll workers use to check for voting integrity.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

My dad, brother, several other family members, and an ex are doctors. They know what they're told to know. They may be well meaning and not corrupt but the entire system is. I trusted blindly in their scientism and it cost me a dozen years and almost my life. If the science is not open then it's not science - it's blind faith scientism dogma. We the people need to verify and validate all their private "science" for profit (motive enough for corruption). Not just the corporations, but all instututions, from education to NGOs to charities, and everyone behind a paywall and/or making profits from our perpetual health/sickcare. It's no secret that more than half of the shit published in "peer-reviewed" journals is never reviewed or is sensationalist bunk science to get them more grant funding.

If the doctors are to be trusted why are they censoring so many that don't agree with the manufactured "mainstream" corporatocracy narrative? Don't trust us randos. Don't trust the MSM either. Verify yourself. Do your own research. Find opposing views and make up your own mind. Also, be aware that just as they have an army in the MSM, they have an army in the alt-media to propagate misinfo and discredit all things alternative in order to prop up the "authorities".

I'm not anti-science. I'm anti-scientism, aka anti-corporate-science-faith, or in other words - I'm for transparent open-science. Trust but verify.

Many conspiracy theories are not even secrets. They just have to be denied enough in the MSM, assuming they even reach it. The majority of people simply aren't motivated for whatever reason(s) to actually become aware of the endless myriad of issues we're all subject to. They don't need secrets to control us all - they just need the majority ignorant and/or acquiescing under their monopoly on violence.

If you are serious about finding the motives for the COVID-1984 scamdemic, you really must watch these documentaries. They may seem extreme and crazy, but I assure you it can all be backed up.

    stay home and not get Covid

    even if they get it, their chances of dying or even getting a little sick is almost zero

    [–]quickbeam 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

    Nope. And I don't like the odds of going to a public place where there's even a 1/1000 chance of dying. Imagine someone saying to you "you can go to this polling place, but there's a 1/1000 chance you'll die and about a 200/1000 chance you'll be really sick for weeks. No fucking thank you. Let's even say a 20/1000 chance. I'll be real generous to your utter lack of concern for facts. Still not going. Those are not good odds for a thinking person.

    Were you just as panicky when 0bama was President, and SARS/swine flu were sweeping the nation? What about the flu? Every year it kills 500,000 globally. Where is the panic? Just stay home forever, do us a favor.

    Yes, yes, this entire worldwide pandemic is just a conspiracy to hurt poor old Donnie. Never mind that every fucking country changed their way of life in order to deal with it. I actually have friends who live and work in other countries, (and used to work abroad myself), so I'm not caught in this ridiculous provincial perspective that some of y'all seem to have.

    [–]StBlops2cel_is_Lord 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    It's not so much a conspiracy as a mindset. Add to that 'people have gotten soft', plus 'the world follows America's lead'. Shitbirds like you panicking over something that has .00000000000001% chance of giving you a runny nose is pathetic. Just stay under your bed forever, we won't miss you, honey.

    Plus, IMO, the US Postal Service (and Canada for that matter) should offer email services for the masses and anyone, within or without, that tampers with that "mail" would be subject to severe punishment. Further, they could also provide voting services, though I'd rather see open-source coded and transparent voting. Though somehow they'd likely find a way to tamper with it and add to the already over 40 ways to rig the vote, perpetually active at every level.

    There's nothing wrong with vote-by-mail. I lived in Oregon for a while where everyone can vote by mail (with some in-person for those who prefer it) and it works just fine. Also - some people chose to line up to pay respects to John Lewis, but I'm not planning to go anywhere crowded and inhale other people's germs. It's quite another thing to force people many of whom are medically vulnerable to go out and risk their health or lose their voice in a democracy. BTW - the exact same people are going to tabulate your votes whether they're done in person or by mail. The exact same hand-counters and/or machines. I've been a volunteer poll worker so I've seen the votes get counted firsthand.

      What's your source for any of this? Also, all mail in ballots need to still be checked at the polls against the lists of registered voters. I know this because I worked the damn polls. Everything ends up being run through the same processes no matter whether it's done in person or by mail.

        Again, I worked as a poll worker. Your ballot will not be processed if it does not match the registered voters list. Illegal immigrants? Are you kidding? The very fact that they're "illegal" means that no one would have their address to mail anything to in the first fucking place. Let alone that they would want to expose themselves to being deported in order to help people do voter fraud. Do you realize how illogical this all is? If you're so concerned about undocumented immigrants we need to crack down on corporations that hire them, not the immigrants themselves. I don't really have a problem with immigrants of any kind because quite frankly borders are some made-up bullshit and climate change is going to mean that large swaths of the world suddenly become uninhabitable and people will need to cross borders to survive. To me people are people. I've lived abroad and been treated with respect and love by citizens of a country where I didn't speak the language. As long as corporations will hire undocumented workers to do a job they're not willing to pay citizens properly for, people will move here. If you want that to stop, it'd be a lot easier to go after the corporations and toughen laws on wages and labor conditions.

          p.s. It must suck to hate and distrust so many people this much. I have fucking full-blown anxiety and depression and I still realize that most people in this country are good-hearted, well-meaning honest people and even if I don't agree with them on everything or they might vote differently than I do they want the best for each other and their families. What you describe in your rants here is not a realistic version of America. It seems like the product of getting most of one's impressions of other people through the television or the internet rather than talking to lots of different types of people in person. Which is too bad. I hope that someday you will have a more positive view of humanity. Take care.

          I have anxiety and depression yet I am not irrationally afraid of people simply because they come from other countries, nor am I so sad or bitter that I assume my fellow humans are mainly dishonest or out to get each other.

          Not that they're sharing with these mysterious government officials who are somehow going to illegally mail them ballots which they will then totally fill out because they are so committed to rigging elections between working at the meat packing plant and raising their kids, which they will then somehow mail to the other evil government officials who will then hand them off to still more corrupt government officials for processing. All of these people are involved in the exact same conspiracy, somehow. The fact that this is totally believable to you is amazing.

          Not being able to turn on one's computer is not a symptom of anxiety/depression. Not being able to treat people with mental illnesses with common decency is a symptom of being an asshole though. Might want to get that shit looked at.

          If you're so worried about voter fraud I encourage you to contact your city clerk and become a poll worker. There are paying jobs or you can volunteer. Then you can go behind the scenes and see how the system works in your state. I bet you'll be amazed at what ordinary good-natured people are in charge of ensuring election integrity.

              Electronic voting is too is the only thing you needed to say here, though, because every damn vote goes through that system and if you are a person at a high level trying to impact the vote (not some two-bit city council candidate trying to steal their own election) that's the method you use in this day and age. You say "removing boxes" like it's a simple thing that doesn't require coordination. And guess what - you can also remove boxes of votes of people who voted in person! Sometimes you can't even tabulate those votes the day of polling because the machines malfunction. It's overwhelmingly Republicans who have been fucking over votes in recent years though by closing polling stations in key areas and leaving low income or majority minority communities without enough polling stations so that working people have to choose between getting back to their job or standing in line for 5+ hours. Or sometimes so they can't actually get transportation to a close enough polling station. But you guys want to focus on these rare as hell cases of people using ridiculously clunky 20th century methods to steal elections that no one in a real position of power would ever resort to.

              There's a reason these people got caught - they were all ham-handed schemes that are noticed by the city clerks and poll workers that cross-check documents and check for things like people voting twice. If you want to commit mass election fraud - the type that would affect a national election, you'd hack the voting machines. Paper ballots - and people casting multiple paper ballots or false paper ballots - is the easiest thing to catch and check for.

              Again, please go work a poll. I encourage you to do so. You can see how the sausage is made. You can be the watchdog on the front lines of all this voter fraud you think is happening.

                LOL. I'm naive says the person who thinks the electronic voting machines are more reliable. https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-a-data-security-expert-fears-u-s-voting-will-be-hacked-11587747159 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-vulnerabilities-of-our-voting-machines/ https://thefulcrum.us/voting/hacking-voting-machines

                It is so much harder to falsify hundreds of paper documents or disappear thousands of ballots. One person can't do it on their own; they would need help. The more people you involve in any type of conspiracy/crime the easier it is for them to get caught. Whereas with hacking the voting machines one person can do it and it can be done without leaving a trace. We'd all be better off if paper votes were counted by hand by old church ladies and it took weeks to get final results.

                  You are acting as if mail-in ballots are the thing we ought to be worried about when it comes to mass election fraud when the real vulnerable spot where you could change results without a trace are the machines. I'm not naive or uninformed; I've actually worked the polls which I've mentioned repeatedly. It seems like you just want to remain panicked about this much less likely scenario out of what I can only assume is partisanship. Go work the polls if you care so much - I'll repeat it again. It's not hard to get those jobs - they're actually asking younger people to take them.

                  It's not a phobia when there's a respiratory virus killing people and causing permanent organ damage, my dude. It's called being a rational fucking human being with a sense of self-preservation.

                  vote by mail does work, if people are honest. the problem is that nowadays people are not honest, and there most definitely are people that want to cheat the system and stuff the ballot boxes.

                  there is an agressive effort by some folks that want to convince everybody that mail in voting is okay, but it really is not okay.

                  it opens the door for massive fraud that would take an eternity to unravel.

                  if you want your upcoming election to be jimmy-rigged, then just go ahead and allow mail-in voting, and say goodbye to mr trump.

                  if the election is legit, he will win.

                  Again, I worked the polls and it doesn't matter whether someone comes in in person or submits an absentee or vote-by-mail ballot. All that shit gets counted by the same people, all of whom have to check the ballots against the voter registration list. The majority of your security concerns should be aimed squarely at the easily hacked voting machines that are used to tabulate all ballots including the paper ballots in most areas. If you had any remaining concern, well that would lie with people who are verifying the count who are largely state government employees. Regular people aren't out there stuffing ballot boxes and if they were they would be election officials who would have no incentive to use mail-in ballots to do that - it would actually take a lot longer to mail out ballots to random voters than to just manufacture fake ballots or, again, hack the very easy to hack voting machines. This is all a fake problem that you've bought into because "Trupm" said so. In fact he's either just talking out his ass or he wants an excuse to declare the election invalid and rule as a dictator.

                  with mail-in voting, it is not a very big deal for me to mail in two hundred million fake votes.

                  your move.

                  For the millionth time, the votes get mailed in to the exact same people who would tabulate the in-person votes and those votes are checked against the voter registration lists by actual humans. So it makes, again, no fucking difference, the method by which a person votes.

                  again, for the millionth time, why are you obsessed with having mail-in voting?

                  I wouldn't call it an obsession but COVID. I know people who have had it and been hospitalized with it. In-person voting will spread Covid especially in places where lines are long. It will prevent medically vulnerable people (or people who are caregivers of those types of people) from voting. I want the most registered voters to vote as possible.

                  Like, how are you imagining this mail-in ballot being dealt with? Do you think that anything that gets mailed to the board of elections is magically tabulated by elves without checking it against any official lists? The votes aren't even visible on the outside of the ballots! The biggest risk is actually from throwing ballots away, but that would be done by government officials, not individual people, and again, that could more easily be done by hacking voting machines. - If you've never googled how easy it is to hack the voting machines, get on that. I expect better from random internet people - most people who spend this much time on the internet are already aware that voting machines represent the major election fraud threat.

                  what exactly is your interest in mail-in voting being allowed?

                  Covid, my friend. This is the obvious answer but your mind won't accept it because you default to distrusting the most obvious answer and also people's motives. Also, again, I used to live in a state where almost everyone has used mail-in voting for years. Somehow Oregonians still elect blue reps in the blue areas and red reps in the red areas.

                  Also can I just say "two hundred million fake votes" not a big deal - it's like you don't understand the amount of paper that would require, postage, people handling those boxes and not noticing a discrepancy, people processing those votes by hand (which is the case with mail in voting) and somehow not noticing that they don't match the lists, etc. It's just stunning that you think that would be easy to achieve. 1,000 fake votes on paper would be almost impossible to pass through, let alone two hundred million. On a voting machine, piece of fucking cake, which is again why, if there is fraud on a mass scale it will be done digitally.
