King County has been a Democrat stronghold for a LONG time. It wouldn't be the first time a King County elected official hadn't voted, either. Finding hundreds of ballots 5+ weeks after the election, and they just happen to break overwhelmingly for the losing Democrat, and they are from a Democrat stronghold that is in a city and County controlled by the Democrats is just a little too coincidental.
The Electoral College is many things, but it is not racist. Explain to be how the Electoral College is racist, I'm dying to see how you came to that conclusion...
Old, white, slave-holding men wrote the rules about the Electoral College and because his chosen candidate won in an irrelevant statistic but lost in the only one that matters (the Electoral College), it must be racist. What are you, a Nazi?
Since the position of the Secretary of State is elected, and it is primarily concerned with elections, I guess the Secretary of State cannot ever do their job if they plan to run for re-election. You get elected, and you cannot do your job "ethically or morally" because you may be on the ballot.
Here's one case where the Courts determined that the number of fraudulent votes was over 10 times the margin of victory. I guess better to execute a few innocent people, though, than let a potentially guilty man go!
In at least one election there were 10 times the number of fraudulent (provably so) votes as the margin of victory. But I guess better to have a result than one that is clean and fair, right?
Ballots "found" 5 weeks after the election change the results by being just enough in favor of the loser, the Democrat, who by virtue of the found ballots, won the election.
Check which party always seems to "find" ballots a few days after close elections, and who it almost always benefits. Or which party insists that non-citizen voting isn't an issue (even though it provably is) and demands to allow anyone to register simply on their word, and to vote without proving they are actually the person who is registered to vote.
Personally, I'd be fine with having to re-register to vote every 4 years, and proving citizenship when doing so. We have to renew driver's licenses every 4-5 years, and prove citizenship status and ID when buying a firearm, so why not for voting?
Just bounce down the 101 a few miles to Brisbane or San Mateo. Or across the bay to Oakland (where a lot of your tech workers already probably live). Not that big of a relocation...
This is the worst kind of tax - it's on gross receipts. Doesn't matter if you made a profit or not, you pay it. Uber does $6.5 billion in revenues - they now get to pay $325 million in tax, even though they still lose money. That is a VERY strong disincentive to do business/stay in SF, versus bouncing down to Brisbane, or over to Oakland.
Voter fraud does happen. Admitted non-citizens are encouraged to vote by poll workers. We set up our justice system to protect the innocent, but we seem to bend over backwards to ensure our voting system protects the guilty. I need an ID to buy a firearm (2nd Amendment right), but asking for the same level of ID to vote is considered racist, sexist, homophobic, and fascist...
It's not like admitted non-citizens who are registered are told they cannot vote... Oh wait, they are told they CAN vote... Get yourself registered (Moter-Voter law makes that trivial - there is ZERO check about citizenship other than a "I am a citizen" checkbox), and you can come in and vote as a non-citizen!
If you'd see the second link I used, unverified provisionals were mixed in with regular ballots - and thus counted, because once mixed they could not be pulled back out. If you don't have provisionals in the first place, then you don't run the risk of contamination.
I agree 100%! And I think most States currently give free ID for those who need it. The issue then becomes "but it is so much time and effort to get the ID!" when, in fact, there is not much you can do as an adult WITHOUT the ID. Like get a job. Or medical care. Or buy alcohol. Or drive. Or open a bank account. Or use Western Union. And many other things.
Provisional ballots allow a person to cast a ballot even though they are not listed on the voter rolls. Yes, you don't even have to prove you are registered in order to cast a ballot which, in at least one instance, were mixed in with regular ballots potentially throwing the election which was decided by less than 130 votes.
We have de-facto national ID cards now - passports. And with the requirement for Real ID, pretty much all State-issued driver's licenses and ID cards will be effectively a national ID card. But why do I have to prove ID and tell the Federal Government what I'm doing when I buy a firearm, but not when I vote?
Fail on TX, you fuck-whistle. Plus I live in California, so what TX does is of less concern to me than what CA does. Why don't you care about the integrity of the election? Perhaps because when fraud occurs, it benefits your political belief, meaning you put results ahead of ethics?
You don't have to show ID when you vote. That's what voter ID is - quit playing stupid. Or are you opposed to proving identity when voting, like most of the rest of the world requires?

Ballots found after the election, breaking heavily for Franken.

You are talking about China. And just like Chinese CO2, Chinese CFC isn't a problem at all, it can be safely pushed off until after 2030 or so.

So what you're saying is that my planned ICO for VoteCoin is going to fail?
Texas poll workers letting non-citizens vote, no problem at all. Keep on ignoring the voter fraud! Fuck-whistle, indeed...
You can get jobs without ID.
Not legally. You must fill out an I-9 form when you are employed - and that requires considerably more than just an SSN.
If you'd see the second link I used, unverified provisionals were mixed in with regular ballots - and thus counted, because once mixed they could not be pulled back out. If you don't have provisionals in the first place, then you don't run the risk of contamination.
And the other half of what I wrote? Real ID is effectively a national ID.

The issue then becomes "but it is so much time and effort to get the ID!" when, in fact, there is not much you can do as an adult WITHOUT the ID. Like get a job. Or medical care. Or buy alcohol.

OK... Waiting for you to tie this into the Time Cube.
A voting machine manual was insecure by design, and the only states where it was used were states run by Republican jackoffs.
False. Admit your error, you jackoff. Or do you contend that IL and VA went for Trump, not Hillary! ?
You idiot. OpenElect is used in Illinois and Virginia both of which went for Hillary! Just go away - you're wrong all over the place, provably so...
