Vote parent up. Mail-in ballots have a unique ID printed on the ballot. The ID is correlated with the voter's request for a mail-in ballot. When the ballot comes back, the ID on the paper is checked against the ID recorded. You _could_ intercept the ballot on the way in or the way back, but it's impossible to do this on a significant scale without having several inside men in the Post Office.
Most mail-in ballot systems are significantly more secure than many online voting (or vote management) systems in the field.
So the ballot is directly traceable to an individual, who could then be subject to punishment or reward for how they voted.
What's to stop someone from paying people to vote for certain candidates? In the current system, where people go to a monitored location and use a machine or fill in a paper ballot, there is no way to be sure the person votes the way you pay them to, unless they use their phone to take a picture of their votes, and that can be prevented fairly easily. With the mail in system, they can let someone else fill it in, or take a picture or otherwise make a copy to prove they voted the way they were paid to. And how do you maintain the secrecy of mail in ballots? If the ballots must be signed, whoever tallies them will know how you voted, which provides other opportunities for shenanigans.
As for unions, at this point, the only really effective ones remaining are those representing police, and that's a big part of the problem with disciplining bad behavior by cops.
Rep. Darrell Issa's battle with a flamboyant conservative Internet columnist who called the Arab-American lawmaker "jihad Darrell" has become a bizarre sideshow to what authorities say was a recent plot to bomb Issa's district office in San Clemente.
Issa and his aides said columns written by political commentator Debbie Schlussel might have inflamed Jewish Defense League officials, who allegedly were targeting the San Diego County lawmaker.
One of the suspects, Irving David Rubin, chairman of the JDL, gave copies of the Internet commentaries to an FBI informant, who helped thwart a plot to blow up a Los Angeles-area mosque and one of Issa's offices, according to a source familiar with the case.
Within a century of the death of Mohammad, in 632, Muslim armies had conquered almost the whole of the world where Jews lived, from Spain eastward across North Africa and the Middle East as far as the eastern frontier of Iran and beyond. Almost all the Jews in the world were now ruled by Islam. This new situation transformed Jewish existence. Their fortunes changed in legal, demographic, social, religious, political, geographical, economic, linguistic and cultural terms - all for the better.
In order for HF communications to work effectively and consistently, the sun needs to ionize the atmosphere.
I thought Solar UV deionized the skip layer during the day, which is why AM band signals travel farther at night? I used to work at a station that had to sign off at night to avoid interfering with another station hundreds of miles away.
You obviously aren't doing it right. I only met the owner of the last I apartment I rented once in the eighteen years I lived there. All of my dealings were with a property management company. They collected the rent and took care of maintenance... eventually. And this wasn't some multi-million dollar building in a big city, but a converted furniture store/warehouse located in a small suburb of a rust belt city.
The county I lived in put their property tax info on the web, and you could look up any property and see how much taxes were paid on it, where the tax bill was sent, who owned it, and how much was paid for it for every transaction since they computerized their records. A search of the building I was living in showed that it last changed hands for the grand sum of $1, paid by the current owner to his father.
If you want to believe that most landlords are hard working schlubs like yourself, be my guest. I think a lot more are like the guy above; I'm damned sure Trump never had to unclog a toilet in his life!
Social Security had a total administrative expenditure of.7% in 2014, the most recent year for which I could find statistics. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS...
How do the rollers get power, how does the driver control the roller speed and direction, what kind of wear and tear does the tire experience when it is twisting like a smoke ring, will the tires slip on the rollers when the brakes are applied, and what's to keep the tires from coming off the rollers at high speeds or while braking? It sure seems to be adding a lot of moving parts to a simple, proven design just to make it easier to park without having to change the way the wheels are mounted to the car. It looks cool, though.
Yes, and the phone companies could listen to every call and read every text and examine every web page visited and then inform law enforcement about anything that seems "suspicious", so maybe he should be suing them instead? Oh, and how about putting cameras and mics in every room in every building in the whole world, and then hiring people to watch and listen to everybody all the time, 'cause it's better to be safe than sorry? Anybody who objects to THAT must have something to hide!
Look into who is funding the research by "journalists" who have access to these documents. Hint: It's a bunch of bankers, like Rockefeller, et. al. Seriously, go do it, you'll see that it's a war between foreign banks and US / Jewish owned banks.
I totally agree. Without EVIDENCE there is no case here.
There is evidence. Certainly not enough to convict, but enough to get a warrant to search for additional evidence. The key question is whether he can be compelled to assist in that search. The Supreme Court has ruled that a suspect cannot be compelled to provide the combination to a lock, so I don't see how this is significantly different.
It not only misrepresents Christianity, it misrepresents the God that Jesus worshiped.
Jeremiah 7:31 makes it clear that burning people alive is something that God never commanded or even considered doing to people.
But God is totally down with burning the souls of dead people and fallen angels:
Revelation 20:10
"And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
Mark 9:43-44
"If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.
Matthew 25:41
"Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels"
Matthew 25:46
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
A reasonable God would communicate with men in terms they understood. "King" and "Lordship" were the terms humans used to relate to each other for a long time until recently.
A competent God would have made humans who could understand Him from day one.
I agree with and support the popular slashdot opinion on this issue: civilians should have access to strong encryption with no back doors.
I just....don't care enough to do anything about it. I plead guilty to charges of complacency. So long as my money is safe (not from the economy of course; no money is safe from that, and not from taxation either, but from overt thieves) I don't care if Big Brother knows which video games I spend my free time playing, which books genres interest me, where my office and home are, etc. It just doesn't impact me.
I don't want to be victimized by crime...I want to be able to earn and invest my money and pursue my simple pleasures in peace. And I have that. And the government monitoring doesn't interfere with that.
So sue me.
Ah, but what if the NSA's AI data sifter SKYNETsays that, based on the video games you play, the books you read, and the areas where you travel, that you are likely to be a terrorist and they send a drone or a death squad to take you out? Sure, right now they're only doing that in Pakistan, but what's to stop them from doing it everywhere, to anybody, even if they're white? The U.S. Constitution? The fifth amendment due process clause can't even stop local yokel police departments from taking your stuff without ever charging you with a crime, so how's that olde piece of parchment gonna stop the feds from snuffing you 'cause their algorithm flagged you?
I'm sorry - the first amendment lets you say what you want but has no guarantee implicit within it of any anonymity. The courts likewise have not granted anonymity; they say that you are responsible for your speech.

If Islam is against the Jewish people, why did Muslims protect them when Christians were trying to wipe them out in Europe?

I think a gruff of trolls would work, and has a nice ring to it.
Billy goats would argue otherwise.

The same Trump who didn't fly on the "Lolita Express" like Bill Clinton did 26 times in full knowledge of Hilary Clinton.
The same Trump who did fly to Epstein's "sex slave island" and called him a "terrific guy".

All Wars are Banker Wars
Another hint: don't use the words "Jewish owned banks" if you want to keep your antisemitism secret.
Refusing to answer a question can't be used as evidence of guilt if you have been Mirandized and choose to remain silent.

If you are talking about this case, I believe that it is considered to be a "dicta" and is not considered to be binding law. http://blogs.denverpost.com/cr...
"Space" is nothing but corporate welfare.
I thought it was "quantum foam"?
Giving away someone else's money is not charity. It is theft.
The government prints the money, so it is ALL theirs.
Both parties believe in welfare, they only differ on who should get the dough; poor people on one side, and corporations on the other.
Poor people voting for democrats make sense. Poor people voting for republicans are just idiots
Actually, it's poor people AND corporations on one side, ONLY corporations on the other.
a wiseman once said: Gov is not the solution, govmen is the problem
And then he retired on a government pension, and was guarded by government agents for the rest of his life.

It also makes the dust move in interesting patterns.
