I expect to receive numerous 'mail-in vote' letters in the US mail over the next several months that look damn close to the real thing with a barely readable footnote* that says it's not. *Not a legal ballot for the presidential election.

Jesus... I didn’t even think about that. But you’re absolutely right. Think of the same thing that happened with the first round of covid stimulus our entire countries culture is broken. That shouldn’t be allowed or even considered as something you could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 44 minutes ago, The Evil Genius said: Why is a nonprofit doing these things for the VA Department of Elections? Can’t answer that. Don’t even know the extent to which they were involved. This was the opening of the article I read Quote A misunderstanding of the state’s independent cities and counties apparently led a nonprofit voter registration group to mail 587,638 absentee ballot applications to Virginia voters that asked them to send the ballot back to the wrong election office doesn’t make sense to me either. But I have zero understanding of how all that works and such maybe because the va budget doesn’t allow for it and this is an attempt to do good? It certainly doesn’t seem intentional. I think they were trying to help and just made a mistake. A mistake that is awful because of what it might mean for voter confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote apparently led a nonprofit voter registration group to mail 587,638 absentee ballot applications to Virginia voters that asked them to send the ballot back to the wrong election office Is the concern over the application to vote absentee or the actual absentee ballot, because that sentence conflated the two (as I read it). Thats said, I really hate anyone other than the local/state governments doing anything with official ballots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowland Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 3 hours ago, Momma There Goes That Man said: Per PSA, After the Trump campaign pulled their ads for like a week, they came back and are hitting early voting states with Biden attack ads focusing on higher taxes, anti-police, pro immigration stances. this is a serious mistake as Biden has wasted this time by not introducing himself and his positions to the voters. Now he runs the risk of letting Trump define him when he had ample opportunity to do that before Trump even tied his shoes Yeah my fear is after getting out to a big lead in the polls, the Dems are going into prevent defense mode. There's still to much time on the clock to start giving Trump easy completions over the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same here. I guess the first time I read it as ballots and now I’m reading it as applications. so, less of an issue if it’s just applications, but still an issue in the confusing voters aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 This non-profit organization mailed out forms that if returned would request a ballot. We got them in Loudoun with the correct return address, but apparently in Fairfax County the return address was for Fairfax City rather than Fairfax County. They said they would work to get the returned applications to the right address. It’s a relatively complex notice and I wasn’t clear at first if it was a ballot or an application for a ballot. Given all the talk about fraud and vote suppression, I can understand if people are annoyed, if not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Watch Rachel tonight. The Russians are feeding anti-Biden material to Sen. Ron Johnson DHS committee chair and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Finance committee for their "reports" in mid September. This is so shameful that I hope lightning strikes these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great. Biden: "Donald Trump is a sociopath." Narrator: Explain what a sociopath is with Trump clips. Biden: I'm not a sociopath. Vote Biden/Harris We aren't Sociopaths End of Ad.

I feel like with the Biden /Obama videos they used to make and his latest ad “people want to know about my vetting process” (pulls up in vette and talks about cars) he has this type of humor in him for an ad like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
