#1 America. One side thinks CV19 is their ticket to WH. The other think they are immune.

#2 November is shaping up to be a real humdinger of an election.

#3 There were what, a maximum of sixty-odd people in Wisconsin who MIGHT have contacted the virus on election day, even with nobody social distancing? That means that risks seem pretty nonexistent to me. Get over yourself and go vote. If you can't look at reality often enough to realize how little danger you're in, then maybe you shouldn't be able to vote.

#4 This whole vote by mail stuff (unless overseas, etc.) is just utter bovine egesta.

#5 Absentee ballots are available everywhere. Make sure it's still the case, and that the requester is alive and who they say they are

#6 The two times I had to vote absentee (traveling) I had to go to the election bureau at the county courthouse and show two photo ID and a tax form that proved my residency to obtain a ballot. What's being pitched now is mass mailing of blank ballots with no ID or residency proof required, and no control over what happens to these ballots coming or going. Anyone saying it's not a recipe for mass fraud is either stupid or dishonest.

#7 It is totally disgusting. What's even more disturbing they are getting away with it. We've probably all seen those meme images of all of the things we need to produce an ID for. But to treat voting so haphazardly is beyond words.

And the Dems talk about "Russian collusion" in our elections. GTFOH!

#8 I did just go sign my tax forms. With all the hoo-haw they went in less than six weeks behind schedule, though the deadline is now July 15 and may get bumped.

#9 Shellie, 47, was diagnosed with hypertension 12 years ago. That condition, which she shares with nearly half of all adults in the United States, puts her at high risk for severe illness if she develops COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

Last I heard, there are medications that control this condition quite well. So I smell bullcrap.

#10 ^She can't afford the hypertension meds - like, what's her name, who couldn't afford morning after pills.

#11 Anyone saying it's not a recipe for mass fraud is ~~either~~ stupid or and/or dishonest.

That was an easy fix. No charge!

Now, if you go to a grocery story, you have to wear a mask and in the check out line they have markings on the floor six feet apart to show you where to stand to maintain social distance. It seems to me it would be easy to implement the same protocol at polling stations. Then they put hand sanitizer at the exits. What's the problem?

Yeah. I'd call this Chinese collusion.

#13 I voted in person at the primary here in Florida on March 17. More because I could than because there was any big reason to.
