You know what, Terry. At this point I'm about ready to say do whatever they have to do, Republicans. Make us all walk in to the voting booth naked, and submit to a body cavity check and a DNA test before we cast our votes.

Anything, to get the Right to stop claiming the elections have been rigged against their candidates.

I'm just so sick and tired of that. You lost, Trump voters. No matter what checks are put in place, I don't think republicans will ever agree their guy lost, ever again. But do what you have to do to work toward that goal.

What it means is that voting locations can conveniently be set up so that one party has easy access and the other has three-hour lines outdoors in November.

LOL, so dramatic.

I’d love to see:
* Election Day, not Election Month (i.e., you vote ON ELECTION DAY, IN PERSON, unless you arrange for an absentee ballot.
* Voter ID
* Clean/Up to Date Voter Rolls (regardless of whether or not fraud exists, there’s no excuse to have people on the rolls who have been deceased for 10 years)

In my own state, I’d love to see:
* Serious audits to ensure that illegal immigrants aren’t voting, AT ALL. I asked my County Clerk about this, since Colorado is a “we LOOOOOOVE ILLEGAL ALIENS SO MUCH THAT WE GIVE THEM DRIVER’S LICENSES aaaaand WE AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER EVERYONE TO VOTE WHEN THEY GET A DRIVER’S LICENSE” kind of state, and the answer I received for what precautions are in place to ensure that illegal aliens aren’t erroneously registered to vote and sent ballots was lackluster. Basically, if they make a mistake and send a ballot, they trust that the illegal alien wouldn’t sign the affidavit. But there aren’t any extensive audits.

Seriously. Even eight-year-old girls' soccer teams shake hands with the winning team and tell each other, "Don't cry, that's babyish."

Shows you the relative maturity level we are dealing with.

Gee, what are the Dems going to do now that they can't stuff the ballot boxes any longer?

I don’t seem to remember Democrats acting like this in 2016 and Stacy Abrams and crew certainly did not act like this in 2018. But, okay!

Huh? Hillary literally conceded the next morning.

Should I keep waiting?
