1. Vote early - in person.

[LisaL]

3. Some states only vote by mail.

What do you propose they do?

[mzmolly]

8. Vote early

and follow up on your vote. Drop it off in person if you can.

[LisaL]

10. Legally cast ballots should be counted.

NT

[mzmolly]

14. They should.

The key is to ensure they do.

[Thekaspervote]

24. And will be. He can't get judges to interfere and start throwing out ballots. Such bull shit

[FloridaBlues]

32. Yes totally BS.

[mzmolly]

42. I'm glad you have confidence

in the process and local officials in all of the swing states. Admittedly, I do not.

[hedda_foil]

7. Yes. Especially in the critical swing states, I think we have to vote early and in person.

It sucks that people will have to take this extra risk, but I don't see any way around it as long as the monster is haunting the White House.

[mzmolly]

11. I agree.

I hate him with a passion. Along with his Republican enablers.

[LisaL]

13. What if Trump declares he only accepts votes cast on election day?

Are we going to keep jumping through hoops because of the crap he says?
I have nothing against voting early in person, by the way.
I am just saying, he clearly only wants to count the votes cast for him, regardless of how they were cast.

[mzmolly]

16. What if we see the writing on the wall?

Are we going to pretend it isn't there?

I'm not.

[LisaL]

19. You don't see the writing on the wall.

People already requested a huge number of absentee ballots. For crying out loud, people in several states are already voting absentee.
It's a legal way to cast a ballot.

[mzmolly]

20. Are you suggesting that Trump

cares what's legal? Or that his hand picked court(s) will not deliver for him?

I have also requested an absentee ballot. That doesn't preclude me from exercising other options.

[LisaL]

21. In my state, I am locked into voting absentee once I requested a ballot.

I am not sure what your state allows you to do, but I now have to vote absentee. OH doesn't allow you to change your mind.

[mzmolly]

22. In my state one can follow up to be sure votes are counted, and request another ballot if need be.

Again I plan to vote in person regardless, but it's good to know what options are given who we're dealing with.

[LisaL]

25. In OH, once I asked for absentee ballot, I have to vote absentee.

NT

[mzmolly]

28. Looks like you can also

track your ballot: https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/voters/toolkit/ballot-tracking/

[LisaL]

30. I know I can track my absentee ballot.

But I can't change my mind and not vote absentee once I requested it (which i did).

[mzmolly]

33. You've

mentioned that.

[Blue_true]

39. Bingo. nt

[durablend]

23. Or that blue state votes don't count?

[LisaL]

27. He already declared he wants to sign an executive order

that Biden can't be president.

[Thekaspervote]

47. So you believe what you just wrote?? Really??

[Thekaspervote]

35. Who gives a rats what he wants! Elections are run by the states. He has no legal grounds to stop

The counting of ballots...period!

Oh he may declare himself the winner...so what! doesn’t make it so

Biden has amassed a team of 600 attorneys to deal with any shenanigans. I think he’s got this covered.

[Celerity]

2. shitshow of shitshows dead ahead cap'n

[Iliyah]

4. DUH . .

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Like I said, prepare for a non USA situation soon...

Does everybody understand we cant live in a place where the election was openly stolen and half the country and the GOP are good with it, we will have to DO SOMETHING, and that is the problem.

Doing nothing is not an option.

[RKP5637]

6. Lock him up for theft! He's a damn crook anyway. n/t

[LisaL]

9. He should be impeached again. Just for that statement alone.

NT

[mzmolly]

12. Agree. EOM

[RKP5637]

15. I think this is the first president that has tried to overthrow the US government. n/t

[soothsayer]

17. That would be funny if it weren't true

Actually it’s still funny...but also scary

[RKP5637]

18. Very scary and really, in time, possibly a lot of truth to it. n/t

[Fiendish Thingy]

26. How would a federal court have jurisdiction over a state's ballots?

Wouldn’t any litigation have to go through state court, all the way to the state’s Supreme Court, before getting appealed to SCOTUS. Isn’t that what happened in Florida in 2000?

If a state counts and certifies a result that is outside the margin for a recount, federal judges wouldn’t enter in the picture.

[Thekaspervote]

36. Thank you!! A voice of sanity!

[Drunken Irishman]

38. Yes. Trump's understanding of our justice system is the same level as many on here...

Litigation doesn't just jump to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court only heard the Florida case because the Bush team appealed the Florida Supreme Court's recount ruling - and even then, they still had some legal justification in doing so (deadlines + Gore was pushing only a partial recount, not a full recount).

Florida was an anomaly. It just was. You can have a thousand presidential elections and something like that probably won't happen in any of 'em.

What Trump is saying is he's going to go to the courts to discount mail-in ballots. Even conservative justices aren't going to just rule for him because, gosh, Trump is a Republican and appointed them so they must. There is no grounds to contest mail-in ballots through the courts systems. It just isn't going to happen. It's all bluster.

[Thekaspervote]

45. Thank you!! Another voice of sanity

[mzmolly]

40. So we're partially reliant on who certifies

results.

[FloridaBlues]

29. Doesn't the secretary of states do that not the federal courts?

[Cha]

31. Psycho is going to TRY to "Steal The Election". We

knew this but once Again the ASSHOLE's Mouth tells what a fucking Idiot he is.

[kimbutgar]

34. He doesn't want to talk about the pandemic so he says this crazy stuff for the media

To fawn over. They fell for it in 2016 and this year they should know better. I’ve noticed the national network news is definitely pointing out his idiocy on a daily basis and keeping the pandemic in the news!

[DemsIn2020]

37. Thank God we have a Senate and SCOTUS that would stop him..

Oh Wait

[Awsi Dooger]

41. Impossible not to understand this will be attempted

Barr is not going to rant about buying and selling votes and then coast through the election without doing anything.

This was always going to be full Roy Cohn

Ballots will be seized and counting stopped. That's why I don't really care about polling anymore. Barr's statements last week were more relevant than polling.

This will be the 5th Avenue election. Trump doesn't care if you know he just shot democracy in the face

[Thekaspervote]

46. Please stop!!

[warmfeet]

43. Umm, yep!

Been saying this like, forever.

We are now in the power paradigm. Bring your power, or live under the rule of the asshole and his minions. Not where I want to be, just where we are at.

[BigmanPigman]

44. He has been telling us how he will steal the election

and the GOP has been showing us for months.
