If it weren't so pathetic, I would find it amusing. At least since 2000, the Republicans have known that the more open voting is, and the more people that vote, the more they lose. That's why they gerrymander. That is why they hold on dearly to the Electoral College, which in turn preserves state run elections for President, run by their partisan secretary of state.

Here is the secret.... Republicans aren't against voting by mail, and voting in drop boxes because they think there is fraud. Republicans are against voting by mail and voting in drop boxes, because they can't keep people who don't want to vote for Republicans from voting!

Case in point: Ohio 2004

Every Republican district had ample voting machines and staff. Longest wait time 40 mins. Most people were out in 5-10.
Every College and majority Black district had few machines, usually one broken, and had wait times of 10 hours+

When people tried to vote by mail, the partisan Republican Secretary of State (Mr. Ken Blackwell) said the forms had to be of a certain weight to be counted. And ones HIS department sent out, which people filled out and returned were not the right weight. BTW: When Mr. Blackwell ran for Governor of Ohio a couple years later, he actually BRAGGED on his web site that he won the 2004 election in Ohio for George Bush. (I kid you not)


Fast forward to today. Drop boxes are common (we have had them in my state for over a decade under both R & D Secretaries of state and they work great!
Republicans don't like drop boxes, because people who want to vote against them can't be restricted from voting, so they invented a story that they were the source of fraud. Republican encouraged their voters to vote in-person while their strategy was to discredit drop boxes out of existence.

Master fraudster, (and convicted felon) Dinesh D'Souza, even made a movie - 2000 mules, utilizing mis-analyzed cell phone data from partner fraudsters "True The Vote" (the same org that was scamming the 501c4 statute to kick back tax exemptions to their donors) to claim that there was ballot harvesting and drop box
stuffing.

And now we have Cry Baby Barbie - Kari Lake - whining that ballots weren't printing correctly for several hours in Maricopa county and her loyal voters couldn't vote for her. If they had waited just HALF the time democrat voters had to wait in the freezing cold until midnight in Ohio, 2004, they could have voted in person. And most of them did. They could have driven to another polling location (unlike Ohio voters who were prohibited from doing that by their partisan Republican Secretary of State) or (GASP!) left their ballot in a secure box.

Of course their masters, the Arizona Republican party, Ms Kelli Ward told them, they MUST go to their polling place and vote In_PERSON. Sans the ability to problem solve and actually think for themselves, they did as their master instructed.

Its both funny and sad. Republicans' relentless efforts to keep non-Republicans from voting shot them in the foot.

It is hilarious watching cry-baby Barbie whine about it.

I had high hopes for this thread. (Complete with Shakespearean Hamlet reference)

No comments? Not even a non-sequitor "Fast Reply"?

Sheesh
