He's an idiot, and thankfully, his days are numbered.

Every time I go to vote in person ( I do hate the absentee ballot and mail-in vote that is nothing but the prostitution of the sacred vote ) I have to deal with the same morons.
Cool story, bruh. How is relevant in any way to anything I said in my post that you quoted?

Ladies & gentleman........this is your President!! What a guy. If this isn't telling to the Trump supporters about what Trump really thinks about his chances to win I don't know what else is. He's basically trying to suppress the vote and hope that any legal challenge will end up in the SC which would rule in his favor. I truly, truly hope that it is a landslide for Biden so there is no leg to stand on from Trump.

Anyone can work the polls; they are very careful to not ask for political affiliation.

I suspect that there's a language barrier that is preventing you from fully understanding the process when you are voting. I believe you can bring a translator with you to the polls if that would help.

No, we literally can’t because a lot of states don’t start counting any mail-in ballots, no matter how early they were received, until AFTER polls close on election night.

Are you under the impression that mailed-in ballots get counted as they arrive?

They do in a few states but not in others. My ballot has already been accepted and counted here in Florida. That's not the norm though.

yep throw out all the military and foreign US diplomats ballots too -- do you realize the elections people are most understaffed and under budget folks in the nation! let all voters ballots count. Even if the mail is late. this is our right.

Don't talk about FL., my home state, we are the worst when it comes to the voting issue- even corrupt in some aspects. Praying this election ,we fair better than the seedy past.

Well, yes. I was only responding to the comment about votes not being tallied as they come in.

I am also concerned about Florida this year because it seems like it will be a close call.
