Botany's JournalElection Reforms:
Election Reforms:
Paper Ballots
Longer windows of time to allow for voting
Mail in ballots and on line voting
Make sure all legit votes are counted
Get rid of caucuses
Presidential Elections .... 6 months beginning to end .... soup to nuts .... 2 1/2 years is just too damn long
Get rid of the electoral college
End Gerrymandering
No more voter I.D. laws .... nobody is voting twice
Get rid of interstate cross check
Get rid of electronic voting machines
Severe Penalties for working with foreign governments and or agents in our elections
Stop voter purges .... dead people don't vote .... Well Chicago "back in the day" but let's not talk about that.
Get rid of Citizen's United ... get the dark money out of the system
In 2016 McConnell knew the fix was in ... see Merrick Garland And since Trump was illegally installed in 2016
McConnell has blocked all voting security measures and checks on foreign interference too. Pence, Ryan, McCarthy,
Steve Scalise, Sessions, Manafort, Parscale, Flynn, Gates, and the Trumps also all knew the fixes in.
BTW we have to win the 2020 elections by landslides in order to take out the republican "fudge factor."
And can we have this all done except for the voting by the end of April?
A loves me some 'liz Warren thread
Massachusetts showed me something yesterday ... they are Wicked Smart
And that is they want Trump gone and a vote for Joe B even though it goes against
their own in Liz Warren will get that done.
Help please: Anybody know about the story that Trump was told about coronavirus last November?
And then he did nothing about it. If that is true we could win 40 + states this fall.
"They" are scared of Joe Biden .... Fox News this AM 10 seconds
As I was channel surfing from MSNBC (53) up to the weather channel (62) and I hit Fox and
Freaks (55) for a few seconds and they were saying you know that if Liz Warren and Bloomberg
drop out those voters will go to Bernie.
Trump, Russia, Fox, and the GOP were all counting on Bernie being the nominee to get Trump
a 2nd term. Joe is gonna wipe the floor with Trump.
NY Times: China Stopped Its Economy to Tackle Coronavirus. Now the World Suffers.
The virtual shutdown of one of the worlds biggest economies is hurting business around the globe, from multinational firms to truck drivers and tour guides.
If the coronavirus plunges the world into recession, China will be the biggest reason. Economists caution that its shutdown threatens the economies of Japan, South Korea, Europe and even the United States. Huge corporations like Apple, Microsoft, AB InBev and Pfizer have already seen an impact.
Even those warnings understate Chinas reach. An economic disaster just four decades ago, China now touches the lives of billions of people around the world. China matters to Mr. Smerling, Chilean farmers, Thai tour guides, Indian automakers, Mongolian truck drivers and countless others who depend on its economic might.
When China stops, they feel it.

The virus, he said, is going to affect every level of American society.

Coronavirus Live Updates: New Fears in Washington State

The coronavirus may have been in Washington State for weeks, and 150 to 1,500 may have been infected.

As Washington State declared a state of emergency over the new coronavirus, researchers who studied two cases in the state say that the virus may have been spreading there for weeks, suggesting the possibility that up to 1,500 people in the state may have been infected.

The findings suggest that the virus has been spreading in the community for close to six weeks, according to one of the scientists who compared the sequences, Trevor Bedford, an associate professor at the University of Washington.
If that is true, it could mean that 150 to 1,500 people have either been infected and recovered or currently are infected now, said Mike Famulare, a researcher at the Institute for Disease Modeling in Bellevue, Wash., who performed the analysis. Those cases, if they exist, have thus far been undetected.
