Conservatism, no doubt.

Like one registers to vote , nominate voting centre
name and address added to a list , acknowledgement sent
voting day , front up physically to a counter in public hall
declare name and address ,
you are then physically marked off the list by human clerk type who then issue bar coded voting papers ,
mark voting papers in booth ,
drop papers into collection bins ,
exit
One person , clearly one vote
dead people and pets and multible voting would be mitigated - and mass missing votes would be obvious
just a thought
It's amazing that in this day and age people are not out in the streets in their hundreds of thousands holding up signs to protest electronic voting. But even if it was gotten rid of that would only be part of the problem solved. With these two, it matters little with who will be sitting in the office. Guarantee one thing, serving the common people of the US is the least priority. There may have been a chance that good could have been done of we were looking at Rob Paul vs Bernie Sanders. Sadly those men were kept out.
It's going to more of the same old bull.

All that we are hearing now with Trump and Biden is Variations on a bull theme. Come time for next election people will be still looking for someone to do right by them.

I'm not quite sure how that would work - given - over 160,000,000 voters.

And with no offense, you really DON'T understand how many people vote here, and where, and how public transit systems do, or more important, DON'T work.
How do you expect people who have no transportation to go to any location to vote? Do we walk miles, when we CAN'T? Or do we get tossed by the wayside as not worty of voting simply because we don't have transport? No way, Jose. I'm an American, it's my right to vote by mail or any way I choose.
Totally agree....covid has made voting by mail the sensible way to do it.
At the risk of being tagged as not understanding your system over there though, I've always been puzzled as to why voting is on a Tuesday - a day when the majority of people are at work. I would have thought if the powers that be wanted as many people as possible to vote (y'know democracy and all that) they would have made election day a Saturday when more people had free time to make their way to polling booths etc.
In all honesty, I don't get that either.

Tuesday was chosen as Election Day so that voters could attend church on Sunday, travel to the polling location (usually in the county seat) on Monday, and vote before Wednesday, which was usually when farmers would sell their produce at the market.

Thank you! That explains a lot about why the present day rules allow early and mail in voting, to me at least.

Who is Rob Paul?
on โ30-12-2020 05:25 PM
Probably the same person who believes the USA's healthcare system is stuck in 2007.
Wasn't there an Obamacare introduced since then? Surely with that, the system is better now. Given Trump never got it repealed.

Seems if Trump proves the election is contensious , according to their constitution , there will be a 1 state 1 vote poll by delegated representitives to decide the outcome.
In which case he will probably win
on โ05-01-2021 12:37 PM
He can't win.

i REALLY want know how you came up with the idea that there's ANY chance trump will remain president. HE LOST.
