In Texas, by voiding the 100,000+ votes cast in Electoral Commission authorised drop off boxes and drive thru voting stations.

In Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, by overturning lower court rulings that late mail-in votes, postmarked on or before the 3rd November, should be counted with a postal service that is barely running at 85% on time delivery (Coincidentally, or not, the service has worsened this past fortnight. The only time posting a vote was possible due to their Commissions late mail out of ballots).

In Florida, by imposing a poll tax on the poor.

That is the only way they can win, by shutting down the power of voting. Pushing the fraud story was the setup.

@JohnRawls looks like you will owe me 10$ on account of Republicans committing voter fraud by tryin to invalidate votes on stupid terms.

Mark Simon, American assistant to Hong Kong anti-CCP media mogul Jimmy Lai (who's awaiting trial because of CCP persecution), has to resign because of his involvement in a fakes news attack against Hunter Biden.

Allegedly NBC first accused the falsibility of the attack material. It's also alleged that Apple Daily, the only major anti-CCP newspaper in Hong Kong, and owned by Jimmy Lai, asked for the writing of the said material.

A preliminary link from SCMP:

A quick comment is that, China apologists like to accuse Lai of being controlled by the United States. Apparently this event is a proof that the reverse is true.

My main concern is "what's next", i.e. what new policies his team is going to implement if or when they win.

Voting is a responsibility in democracies. Even if your side is winning, VOTE VOTE VOTE. Defend YOUR democracy.

I agree. Can also ask politely not to vote for the insane idiot that is "leading" this country to the flames. :lol:

Governor Abbot's order expanded Texans' voting options, not decreased them. The fact that Democrats tried to push voting even wider than his orders allowed and in some cases failed doesn't change that.

The only time posting a vote was possible due to their Commissions late mail out of ballots).

And just what laws passed by the state legislatures (the ones the Constitution authorizes to make the decision) validates the ballots arriving after Election Day? Yes, in a number of states mail-in ballots can be acquired after they could reasonably arrive by Election Day ... by mail. But the mail isn't the only way they can be sent, there's dropping them off at polling stations on Election Day or even filling them out right at the county office and turning it in immediately.

In Florida, by imposing a poll tax on the poor.

I assume you're referring to the requirement for convicts to completely pay off their debts to the state resulting from their punishments before they can resume voting? It makes sense to me--if you are going to temporarily remove the right to vote while someone convicted of a crime pays their debt to the state, that right shouldn't be returned until they have, in fact, paid their debt to the state.

It's even a responsibility in Republics, so I agree wholeheartedly. Even if there is no one or nothing you particularly want to vote for, there is almost certain to be someone or something you want to vote against. And even if that isn't true either, vote anyway--as a citizen, it is your duty as well as your right. (For the LDS, a religious as well as a civic duty.)

Mind, it is also your duty to educate yourself about who and what you'll be voting for--if you can't be bothered to carry out that duty please don't carry out the other, you're likely to do more harm than good.

:lol: I suspect that works better for most Christians if you condense it slightly--"Praise the Lord, whatever He arranges." Even prophets have trouble with the "for."
