I gave up voting in CA. The last time I voted, I turned in the ballot at the local library at 11:00AM and the results were announced on the news at 5PM. There was no way they could have counted my vote between 11AM and 5PM. My conclusion is they already picked the winners and disregarded votes that came in later.
Counts are reported all day long.
The news organizations can project winners (if they are inclined) when the votes are far enough along. The official count is different and can take longer, but anyone can make an estimate.
In the Los Angeles mayor election Caruso was well ahead. He is registered as a Democrat as a Republican stands no chance in Calif. but he was a Republican although a very moderate one.
A week after the election now Democrat Bass is ahead.
No politics allowed in the LA forum that's why here.
Well you better get used to it. Once the fox gets a taste of one chicken on the farm, no chicken on the farm is ever safe again. In my opinion democrats have learned they can steal elections, thus no election will ever be legit again. I am afraid the midterms are going to be quite the eye opener when the democrats manage to win many critical seats in the middle of the night. I hope I am wrong, but have a feeling the battle for the nation is lost.
Gas prices are soaring to new records almost daily, the inflation rate is skyrocketing, we have food and other supply shortages, interest rates are headed up and all the democrats do is have phony hearings about some minor protest on January 6th. During this hearing they don't bother to mention the murder of an unarmed female veteran shot dead by a capital police officer. He was cleared, the incident forgotten and non stop BS coverage about some alleged insurrection drones on nonstop. The masters say forget the BLM riots, the crime in the streets, the damage to the economy and other problems they have caused, and focus on the silly side show in DC.
This is the inevitable effect of rigged elections in banana republics. Welcome to the newest third world country, the United States of America.
Nah.
Oregon went to nothing but mail-in ballots, and Republicans are still winning their elections in the 2/3 of the state that isn't coastal.
Once they got used to the change, Repubs in Oregon don't complain about the balloting.
Voting by mail allows the voters to make better decisions with fewer mistakes, and it doesn't interfere with the voter's time. And it costs the voters less money.

If you think voting isn't worth the time, then you shouldn't be voting anyway. Voting used to be citizens making decisions that, right or wrong, they felt were good for the nation. Now voting a team sport where partisans throw their allegiance behind a team and hope they get a payoff of some sort like "relief" checks.
Voting should be hard, inconvenient, require IQ testing, photo ID, and proof you are supporting yourself. If you can't hold a job, support yourself and follow the law, you have no business voting. Conflicts of interest like welfare recipients, drug dependents and criminals voting are a major part of the problems in the United States today.
Voting needs to be hard to do, not easy. I don't want people looking for the easy way setting the policies of the nation. I want people willing to go the extra mile for the country, not looking for the extra handout from the country, voting.

Good post.
As I said before Republicans have always done better with mail-in balloting than Democrats (in states where in-person voting was also an option). The angst about it is artificial, mainly generated by that scammer Trump (who always votes mail-in as well) ... but he could say almost anything and the rank and file would believe it.
So we get all those threads and posts about how bad it is, purely because people are hanging onto myths they have been fed. They want to believe it because if they stop believing it that alone can undermine the narrative about 2020 they bought into.

Well one thing we certainly don't have a shortage of is tinfoii....

Says who? You?
Did you just make this up, or did you read that in the constitution?

I would assume anybody with common sense. Why should people who are not willing to put the effort into getting to the polls be allowed to vote? Why should criminals be allowed to vote? Why should illegals be allowed to vote? Why should the chronic welfare recipients with no intention of ever working be allowed to vote?
I want the decisions made by hard working, tax paying, and law abiding people who value the right to vote enough to get off their butt and go do it in person. As to the The Constitution of the United States, don't throw it up to me unless you are 100% in favor of the 2nd Amendment. Liberals love to pick and choose. They are always talking democracy, which the United States is not. And The Constitution of the United States until they don't like what it says. Then they want it redefined even if it means packing the courts.
