The GOP can never win the ballot harvesting game, so restore mail-in voting to a rare practice only, when necessary, by illness or absence.

I never said that it was only Democrats who do those things

More Republicans prosecuted for it in the last general election I think.

Perhaps the most consequential political outcome of the Covid panic that was engineered is the widespread use of mail-in voting in place of actually showing up at a polling station on Election Day. On the spurious grounds that standing in line to vote would spread the virus that was lethal mainly to the infirm and elderly, our entire process of voting was upended, and made highly vulnerable to cheating.
Writing in The Federalist, Joseph Arlinghaus and William Doyle, Ph.D. argue that Republican efforts to match the Democrats’ ballot harvesting efforts are fruitless.

Democrats currently execute a ballot-harvesting game vastly more complex, sophisticated, expensive, and labor-intensive than most Republicans even remotely understand.​

The Democrats’ powerful election-industrial complex consists of two types of institutions: national types devoted to election strategy and policy, and local types, including public-sector unions, devoted to fielding and deploying boots-on-the-ground election activists.​

Public-sector unions comprise a vast potential workforce to aid in solidifying the grip of Democrats on the election process in their states through the sheer manpower they can deploy for vote canvassing, voter registration, assistance in early voting, and ballot harvesting.​

Local urban-based activist organizations also contribute to the left’s army of community organizers. It is where the armies of Democrat vote canvassers and ballot harvesters come from in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, et al.​

Democratic ballot harvesters are guided by sophisticated statistical models and data mining schemes devised by an army of highly skilled, Ph.D.-level data analysts. Republicans have generally disdained this technical aspect of political science and instead published think-tank papers on political philosophy or public policy, leaving the ranks of high-level Republican data analysts generally empty.​

~Snip~
Nonetheless, apparently ending mass mail-in voting is the struggle that they advise, though they don’t come out and say so directly.
If matching the Democrats’ efforts is futile, simply accepting the sudden drastic change originally justified by a questionable “emergency” is a recipe for capitulation to permanent rule by the Democrats and their deep state allies.


Commentary:
The war has started, so returning to “status quo ante” is off the table.
Electoral goals should be:

- ID voting only​

- No “drive-up registration”​

- Voter registration closes 2 weeks prior to election​

- No mail in ballots unless requested 1 month before election and rec’d before election day​

- Voter rolls purged every 10 years with census. Must re-register​

- No voting season - 1 day / 24 hours for voting only​

- Make election day a holiday​

Votes should be counted by midnight on voting day. Those doing the counting must have all their ballots counted or risk hefty jail time; that will prevent counters from stalling and from creating phony ballots. This has become a criminal enterprise in swing states such as NV, MI, GA, PA, etc. Democrats have been preparing and honing cheating methods in earnest since 2020.
The vast majority of affidavits of fraud during te 2020 and 2022 elections came from Democrats and independents who were poll watchers, and judges.
A good example of election fraud was found in Arizona.

I understand your problem.

It's a lot harder to intimidate voters by mail.

Maybe stop pushing idiotic, racist, anti-women policies might help?

 

[Dadoalex]

Maybe the Republicans should not be stupid, and tell their sheep to go ahead and vote Absentee and early vote, like everybody else, even Trump who hasn't voted in person on election day in years.

Can you smell the voter fraud the GOP is cooking?????

 

[Dadoalex]

Dems will be ALL IN on cheating again so the GOP needs to prepare.

Very nearly every documented actual factual instance of voter fraud in 2020 was committed by the GOP.

 

[Dadoalex]

Eliminate all mail in ballots. No voting other than in person with an ID. If you can’t get to the polling place you aren’t a productive citizen and we don’t need your input. Get your ass to the voting booth on Election Day or fuck off. The only exception is military.

I understand.
It's really, really hard to intimidate an envelope.

 

[Lesh]

I've been voting by mail for a decade. You'll prevent a lot of voters from voting if you do this.

Which is the point

 

[Dadoalex]

So the Republican Party is incompetent?

When it comes to governing, yes.
Since 2006

So the Republican Party is incompetent?

When it comes to governing and fair elections, yes.

 

[Dadoalex]

No exceptions for anyone

Every voter must show up in person for federal elections

None of the Trumps did so

BWAHAHAHAHAJHA

 

[Missouri_Mike]

It does not have to be just on voting day.

You don’t need a month either. Spread two early voting days out in October and be done with it.

 

[Lesh]

You don’t need a month either. Spread two early voting days out in October and be done with it.

Why not a week? Why not two weeks?

Afraid too many people will vote?

Yea that

 

[Curried Goats]

You don’t need a month either. Spread two early voting days out in October and be done with it.

What are you afraid of? What's the big deal about a month of early voting?

 

[surada]

You don’t need a month either. Spread two early voting days out in October and be done with it.

Lots of seniors can't stand in line. Lots no longer drive. You're just trying to prevent citizens from voting.

Even Trump votes by mail.

Early voting actually eliminates many of the problems that crop up on election day.
If someone tries to vote early, and there's a problem with their voting registration, they have time to fix it, and make their vote count.
By election day, it's too late.

 

[postman]

Even Trump votes by mail.

In some states everybody can vote by mail.

 

[surada]

In some states everybody can vote by mail.

Exactly.. the problem with elections is a Trump lie.

 

[Mac-7]

None of the Trumps did so

BWAHAHAHAHAJHA

That change would affect the trumps also

 

[Moonglow]

Trump always votes with an absentee ballot

 

[Moonglow]

If they made the changes you are demanding you'd still lose and cry about it.

 

[Lesh]

That change would affect the trumps also

Republicans have calculated that these changes would affect Dems more than Republicans so it’s a bet win for them.

Disenfranchising GOP voters as well is just collateral damage

 

[postman]

If they made the changes you are demanding you'd still lose and cry about it.

Ohio is trying to hold a special election in the middle of August.

Imagine forcing old people to stand for hours in the summer heat. Republicans want to enact a polling requirement where only the hale and hardy can vote.
