Did they ask for an extension? Or simply think "we are conservative so we are exempt from the rule of law like we wish for Trump to be," then?

Who denied them an extension?

So sad.
If it's "completely safe" for conservatives vote by email, instead of granting everyone an exemption, the liberals are simply asking for fairness. No liberal wants to deny their legal votes... but they are not legal, and the conservatives should have simply given them (and everyone that needed it, really) an extension. But the law is the law, and some people broke it, and some people don't care unless it's politically convenient for them. Although the majority of conservatives/regressives are like that, I am thankful and proud that the majority of centrists/liberals are not.

Oh please, all we hear every cycle is how Democrats who lose are being treated unfairly, voters are being suppressed, it was rigged, stolen, illegal. When they win it was entirely fair and legitimate of course.


When the Black Panthers were intimidating people at polling stations, what happened? NOTHING, dead silence. IN fact, they were charged and once Obama took office, his guard dog Holder conveniently dropped all charges.






I'm sick of it. It's shady all the way around and hypocritical beyond all measure.

Will you still be in 2 years? I'm tired of the reruns, this Twilight Zone cycle of insanity, the absolute waste of money just to be elected to a minor seat. HRC blew through $1.4B just to lose. Holy crap, she couldn't buy an election she should have won easily, let alone manage this country and our money. This country is in a political crisis and the inmates are running the asylum.
