Trump Promises To End Election Fraud In MI.

[Estro Felino]

It actually tells me little.
Politicians & parties take stands more often
for political advantage rather than principle.
It's why Republicans have been supporting
Russia over Ukraine, etc, etc.

But I guess the paper ballot system would provide with more tangible evidence of votes...

Based on what, exatly?

On what Melissa Carone, said. From Detroit.

What specific thing did she say that led you to your thought of "the paper ballot system would provide with more tangible evidence of votes"?

The poll book is completely off. By over 100,000.

Source of this claim?

But I guess the paper ballot system would provide with more tangible evidence of votes...

Just a different flavor of vulnerability to corruption.
And at far greater expense too.

Think about it.
There was no evidence whatsoever of voter fraud
or error with electronic voting. And Trump's minions
filed dozens of suits about it. They failed to show
any evidence in court.
Now suppose paper ballots were the sole method.
Since Trump's claims had no basis in reality, he could
just as easily claim "Stolen election!". Magas will
still believe in God's chosen spiritual warrior.

See! Now you know how politics
works here in the age of Trump.

Oh, you're apparently unaware of her
problems with honesty & reality.
She's not one to cite as an authority.

Viral and SNL-Parodied Trump Election Witness Disqualified from Michigan GOP Primary

Melissa Carone's candidacy was rejected by election officials who allege she made false statements on an affidavit that indicated that she didn't have unpaid fines

Michigan uses paper ballots, you mark them and then they are counted electronically.
If there are questions, you can retabulate the ballots,
Trump is spewing nonsense as usual.

Here is her testimony, you can see that it is from the Washington Post. Oh, and good news. Trump was told in no uncertain terms in court today that he could testify, by the judge himself. So unless he was lying earlier, and he would never do that, at least according to Trumpistsas, I guess that he will be testifying.

Can you please fix the link?

OOPS fixed.

Luckily, whether you can stand a person or not is irrelevant when voting.
There are more important reasons to vote than just satisfying your feelings.
Ignore the person. It's not a popularity contest. Speaking skills are a bonus, not the precedent.

I get what you're saying but I really despise both candidates and will be writing someone else in.

The results would take much longer to count by hand and have more errors. MAGATS would be whining about that even though it is what they ask for.

Particularly when one side keeps threatening and harassing election workers (mostly patriotic volunteers).

No matter what system is used for voting,
he can claim fraud, unreasonable, & who
knows what other mischief. No evidence
needed....just an audience eager to believe.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Well, I probably am going to write in someone because I can't stand Trump OR Biden.

The ones I would like to see run, never do.

 

[Kathryn]

The ones I would like to see run, never do.

Probably because they aren't insane.

 

[PureX]

I don't understand why Trump has such
a strong hold on so many....not just the
crazies who believe he's sent by God to
save Ameristan.

The answer is your beloved capitalism. But of course you will ignore this answer.

I talked to guy just yesterday that was praising Trump to high heaven, and his main point was that Trump is "incorruptible": the idea being that he can't be bought off. As opposed to all the other politicians on both sides of the isle who are totally bought off by wealthy 'super-pacs'.

I guess it hadn't occurred to him that once one is totally corrupted, and totally selfish, one technically becomes "incorruptible" by anyone else's money or agenda. He'll take the bribe money, of course, but he'll just do as he pleases regardless.

And once he is done with someone he will kick him to the curb without a world of thanks or acknowledgement of what the person did for him.

As you pointed out the only reason that he is incorruptible is because he became corrupted long before he ran for President.
