It came from our Republican Secretary of State.

But he can call the genie a fraud

So, all the trumpers who are going to vote by mail will also scream they were cheated because of vote by mail

that the RepubliCONs have masterminded a way to screw with the counting of the mail in ballots.

Their objections are beginning to remind me of the ol' Uncle Remus?: when briar rabbit convinces them that no matter what, they shouldn't throw him in the briar patch.........

One from the county auditor who mailed out the applications to everyone in the county. After that our Republican secretary of state sent one out to every registered voter in Iowa.

I sent in the application, got the ballot, and mailed that back at the end of last month.

If the code is duplicated, that ballot is thrown out. If the code on the ballot does not match the code on record, that ballot is thrown out.

I fear they will be working on some way to counter vent that process in order to fuck with it themselves.

An Australian poster on another site that shall remain nameless is somehow on the donation email list, that thinks his name is Brenda. He shares the emails and they range from abusive to desperate, with few stops in between. The last two have promised a donation fund match of five times the donation, at which point "Brenda" wondered why, if they had that much cash to throw around, they were annoying poor folks.

The minimum donation amount is $42, a number I believe has some significance to the Qanon crazy people.

So Big Dummy isn't the only one flailing around, his campaign is, also. They are very annoyed with "Brenda" for shirking her duty to The Cause, doesn't she want to be listed as a top donor?

If he doesn't get to escalate conflict with China over Coronavirus, he will put us against the MAGAs. Either way neither scenario is good and it could cost thousands, if not millions of lives.

They love the dissonance part, so long as they avoid any cognition of their own hypocrisy. Don't think about it, just chant along with the crowd.

Republicans vote by mail, Democratic party voters need to attend in person, to find an open polling station, line up for hours, and then vote. And have the voting machines flip their vote.

Everybody mailing in, just ruins Trump's plans for winning in November.

Trump would call it 'expedient' others might call it undemocratic and rigged.

If the vote goes against Trump, stand back for the wave of blame shifting surely to follow. There will be mention of fraud, voting machine rigging, and Hillary and Obama will surely get a mention.
