ducatedThe statement (mine) that lead to your "single-issue" comment was there are Black conservatives/Republicans who seem better
hrouyou or I, and I asked why you thought that was.
So, now you are saying that they are not smart enough to see
ealsuch a "lie"?Anyone can be duped. There are very smart people that believe that "trickle-down" economics works for everyone, despite the wage (and
t.gap that's been expanding since Reagan introduced "voodoo economics."The single-issue lie you mentioned is a pretty long-lived one. I don't think these well-educated people would stay duped that long.
The idea of "trickle-down" economics has survived this long despite zero evidence of it helping the middle class, so *somebody* must be buying into
Travel distance is not the only parameter to consider. Traffic at the site should also be considered. Only one person can use the single drop box at a time.
They would not face near the congestion at that drop box that urban voters would. In rural Texas counties, the county seat is much more important than in urban Texas counties. One-stoplight towns don't tend to have their own tax offices, courthouse, etc., but rely on the county seat to fulfill that need. The towns that are the county seats often are not that big themselves and so only have one tax office, one courthouse, etc. This seems to work well for them.
In contrast, large ubran cities often have more than one county tax office (usually a main one and some branches) and more than one courthouse, because that's what's needed to serve the community. And that seems to work well for them.

That would depend on which values (i.e., issues) are important to them,
Harris County has a population of 4.728 million as of 2021. If less than a quarter of those people -- 1,000,000 people -- each took one second to drop their ballot in the box, people would be dropping off ballots 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, 60 seconds a minute for over eleven and a half days.

I would imagine that those living in the nearby city might look at their crime rates, police brutality, etc., and realize it has not gotten any better (but worse) over several decades of Democrats as mayor, which

Nevertheless, there's absolutely no legitimate reason to only have one per county irrespective of the counties' population differences.
There's also no legitimate reason to move the opening time for Sunday early voting from 11am to 1pm, when it's well known that many Black churches have "Souls to the Polls" events at which they all go directly from church to vote.

The news of any kind rarely gives the number of a
bill, but rather jus
what the effect is. Texas and Georgia passed
laws that have the effec
of making it harder for minorities to vote. Some of the tools are reducing the days for voting, reducing the number
of ballot boxes, and
even things that make it harder to wait in line
at a polling place --
e.g. a crime to give water to those in line.
Again show me the bills or current laws that exist.
You can stand behind that mantra all you like, but you know your request is not possible.
Then your statement as it relates to the difficulty of minorities to
vote remains unproven.
That is the problem, as you have no issue with calling these legitimate and that there are multiple examples.Then your statement as it relates to the difficulty of minorities to vote remains unproven.
It is proven by the recurring presence in multiple legitimate news sources.
As an example, this week the Republican legislatation in Texas passed a law which allows them to replace the (Democratic) election supervisor in Harris county. Harris county happens to be strongly Democratic in a mostly Republican state. The law *only* applies to Harris county.

The elections administrator Isabel Longoria in Harris County, Texas, announced Tuesday that she had submitted her resignation,
amid a mail-in ballot counting discrepancy in election
night results.

Your opinion, not mine.
So how is this different or incorrect, from what I said. She resigned.Incorrect, she resigned in disgrace.
Not incorrect. Longoria resigned because of errors
What I'm saying is that there is liberal bias within Media especially CNN. This left leaning bias does not just exist within the media, it exists in periodicals, newspapers and it is prevalent on the Internet too.Google can not trusted as they lean left.Google is a search engine, full stop.
I am not sure how to fix that, either.
Paper only. In person, except for absentee voting with all the restrictions around it. Voting only 1 day and all votes counted in each precinct that day.
I would be very leary of some national-level requirements
Those requirements are unconstutional on their face.
because we both know the current
administration would have all the states allowing all sorts of stupid stuff.
As well as Blue states.
You should be able to sort the little cards from 0-X and see if someone's missing or duplicated. You should be able to sort the ballots from 0-(Y+Z) an
see if a ballot is missing. And, of course X should equal Y.
Oh, but math is racist.
Mike Powell wrote to Dr. What <=-
They were stuffing paper ballots, so how does that help? There are
areas where they cheated long before COVID and multiple day voting.
I agree, none of the electronic touch-screen machines, but those old tabulating machines we used to use (pull lever) worked here great, and were a lot faster than the touch-screens.
Also, some folks seem to think "paper only and hand counting only" will fix it. There is no way they'd get them all counted "that day" that
way,
and there is no way you'd convince someone like me that someone hand-counting it will somehow be less biased than a machine. After
all, the machine is biased because of how a *person* programmed it.
In person is good. One vote per person is good. Each ballot only able
to be counted once is good. The only way you can enforce those last
two, especially the last one, is if a machine counts them.
I would go as far as to say the ballot should expire after X amount of time. That way it cannot easily leave the polling location and come
back later, and it cannot be pulled back out from under a table and rescanned later.
Part of the reason I like the idea of multiple days is that it keeps places like Leftistexcrementholeville from claiming that people don't
have enough time to vote and trying to keep the polls open past 6pm on Election night. They used to complain all the time.
Our paper ballots go into a locked machine. I don't know if it
tabulates it or not at that moment, but it tells us that our ballot has been accepted.
I would rather them not tabulate, or at least not be able to tell
anyone what was tabulated, until after 6pm Election night. On the
other hand, it could be handy if it gave the voter a receipt that told them what their ballot was counted as... although I see a lot of
confusion and people claiming it was wrong when it really wasn't if it could do that.

The problem is that it's easy to produce a bunch of machines to cheat. It's much harder to produce a bunch of people who will cheat.
In person is good. One vote per person is good. Each ballot only able to be counted once is good. The only way you can enforce those last two, especially the last one, is if a machine counts them.
Only if the code is open source, vetted as correct, and the machines are completely disconnected from any ability to change after loaded with the software. Hm.... I just realized that we do almost all of this with electronic payment devices that stores use to read your credit card.
I would go as far as to say the ballot should expire after X amount of time. That way it cannot easily leave the polling location and come back later, and it cannot be pulled back out from under a table and rescanned later.
But this is how the machines were designed. They were designed to allow for cheating.
Currently, I do not trust **any** current machine to tabulate ballots.

Does anyone listen to those ignorants? They are the same ones who keep pushin
the false Narrative that "Blacks can't get IDs to vote."
Polls are open long enough for nearly everyone to be able to vote in person. For the outliars, we have mail in voting.
Our paper ballots go into a locked machine. I don't know if it tabulates it or not at that moment, but it tells us that our ballot has been accepted.
In my area, it's a locked box. About the only thing it does it verify that th
ballot is not spoiled (i.e. you voted for 2 candidates when you were only allowed to vote for 1).
There's no perfect solution to this. About all we can do is make voter fraud not worth the effort.

I don't think so. For local elections, yes, but you honestly don't
think they could find plenty of Never-Trumpers in electoral-vote rich states?
I don't know that they were designed to allow for it specifically,
You can honestly mis-map a screen, but I would expect then that all choices of Y would also turn into votes for X. I have never heard of
that happening. Have you?
I like mail-in even less than multilple day in-person.
I like mail-in even less than multilple day in-person.
When I say "mail in voting", I'm talking about the process that's been in plac
for a long time. I show up at the city office and explain my need (i.e. I wil
be out of state that day), then show my ID, and I am given a ballot that I can
fill out and mail in.
Again, much harder to cheat. And if you have an Elitist run state (like Michigan), the Sec of State will ignore the law and set her own election rules
and the AG will not prosecute the people who broke the laws.
