Go paper ballots like Germany.
If you have to use voting machines, use the same system as in Venezuela, where electronic votes print out a ballot that the voters validate and submit, and these paper votes get counted and matched with the computer result, so you have a paper trail in parallel.


Also, Germany and nearly all other large industrialized democracies finish counting their votes the same day.

Proving you don't care about mass brown-on-white industrial scale child rape and torture. Figures.


I admit to having a laugh at you explaining grooming gangs to this LEO and him staring at the newspaper thinking you are extra levels of stupid.

I can affirm everything that Minot and dajo said. My kids are 15 and 12 and would spend most of the day on their screens, if we let them. I bought the Haidt book, but haven't read it yet (but I saw him on Bill Maher).

Our kids are lucky: Their mom and I are both teachers and we understand the dangers. Most parents, by the time their kids are teenagers, are tired and are just glad to get a breather.

When I was a kid, I watched a lot of TV, played a lot of sports and screwed around a lot. Also hit the books enough to get into Cal. But the TV wasn't nearly as addictive as tablets and screens are now. Hell, to play with "technology" we used to get on the rotary telephone and make "phony phone calls".

At school, the kids are absolutely forbidden to use their phones in class, thank goodness. Outside of school, parents schedule their kids like crazy... at least they aren't on a screen.

It's a huge problem and I hardly even want to think about where it's headed. Even adults, they can't walk down the street anymore without ear buds, listening to a podcast or something. Then, surprise, they get mugged or hit by a car.

I dunno. The Party's leadership (I guess) recently rigged the Presidential Primary, by pushing the sitting President out, even after he had won all the primaries held so far, and at the same time choosing the party's candidate for President, thereby negating the votes cast so far, and eliminating the rest of the primaries.

Omar's seat was small potatoes compared to the big prize, so no need to waste any money on that one.

Because her black Democratic opponent was working with literal Nazis?

Uh, no. It wasn't reported the same way for the other Minnesota districts.

Yes, so by this logic the Dems would have no need to fake a vote count in a primary, they can just force out the candidate they don't like. Faking votes would be pointless.

Democrats Moving Homeless Illegal Immigrants out of Downtown Chicago for DNC

"As Democrats gear up for the Democrat National Convention that begins on August 19 in Chicago, there is much to do. And part of that to-do list includes a bit of housekeeping. Because Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, a.k.a. the Border Czar, will certainly not talk about her epic failure at the southern border during the convention, the evidence of that failure has to be hidden. That means a big clean-up and makeover in downtown Chicago. That is exactly what city leaders are doing.

To put Chicago's best face on display for the entire nation, Mayor Brandon Johnson and other city officials have begun moving homeless illegal immigrants out of the downtown area. Newly arrived illegal immigrants are being moved out of the downtown shelter to one on Chicago's south side. City leaders claim the move has nothing to do with the upcoming convention. Right.

The cleanup started back in June when a large encampment was cleared out. Maura McCauley, managing deputy commissioner of the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, revealed that the cleanup was "fast-tracked" leading up to the convention but claimed that the reason was that the city wanted to do it before any convention security would ask for its removal

The quiet part that city officials are not talking about is the fact that Chicago could be getting ready to see a big influx of new illegal immigrants to the city on the eve of the convention. Back in July, at the Republican National Convention, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed to keep busing illegal immigrants north. The number floated of illegal immigrants that could be arriving in Chicago during convention week was 25,000, but it is not known if that is an accurate number.

As Chicago has found out, being a sanctuary city is not cheap. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's $53 billion state budget includes $182 million to help Chicago cover the costs of caring for illegal immigrants. However, since 2022, the city has spent $430 million to care for the roughly 46,000 illegals who have come to Chicago. Since November 2023, the Illinois Comtroller's office shows $126 million spent on asylum seekers. That does not include medical and rental assistance or other local government benefits."

After Rogan filing a suit against MSNBC for deceptively editing a conversation he had, CNN decided they want to get in on the game too against Elon Musk and Trump interview.

Had to get this in here because I'm stoked, the US mens soccer team is reportedly hiring Mauricio Pochettino (former Tottenham and Chelsea manager) as the next manager. What a 10 out of 10 hire they got woot.

Chelsea was playing better towards the end of season, I'm surprised that they sacked him. But I'm happy for Team USA. World Cup 2026!

I'm glad you all are coming around to the position that the secret service needs to be repealed and replaced. True patriots have felt that way since they illegally covered up their actions in the Jan 6 coup attempt.

I find it touching on a personal level that Right Wingers are such guardians of the standards of fairness within the Democratic Party.

They also often express a similar concern for the well being of minority communities.* Altruism is the new normal in today's Republican Party.

It is a crying shame that Democrats don't follow this example and express concern about the fact that a carnival barker, convicted felon, traitor, adjudicated sexual abuser and business fraud has the gnat sized nuts of every Republican politician of good faith and conscience in a mayonnaise jar in his trophy case at Mar a Lago.

Trump donated his salary all four years he was in the White House.

Michelle Obama had a personal staff of 25 people.
