Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

This is it.

“When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal—because, for example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved—then USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well.”

There's no "it".

They're working on a bunch of things. The swing against them needs to be too big to fake.

[–] CorrectAlias@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, people should not focus on just one method of rigging and cheating, because they're doing much more than just one.

What a bunch of horse shit. We need to march for our right to vote again??? WTF! This orange piece of shit is pissing me off to the fullest.

Fuck this. General strike!

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

Yes. You need to do a lot more to keep the rest of your rights too.

[–] jamesrandi@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 hours ago

Sounds very simple to sabotage by slipping in "wrong ballots" in every place you expect to lose the vote.

[–] obviouspornalt@fedinsfw.app 17 points 5 hours ago

spreading awareness here that Washington State allows both printing of ballots at home or other places like a public library, and ballots can be dropped off at dedicated ballot boxes typically located at libraries, city halls, etc.

no need to use the post office at all if necessary.

No. No its much more simple. This might be a back up, but the fix is already in.

He's going to team up with Democrats like Jefferies and Schumers, they'll demonize anyone trying to right this fucked ship of a country, ie, DSA or DSA adjacent, as "violent leftists". Party leadership will self sabotage (which they're already in the process of), they individually will be allowed to maintain control of the party that failed to retake power in the mid-terms. You'll get a "better luck next time" just like you got in '16 and '24, and it will become criminal to be to the left of Pod Save America.

I like they way you write.

What you have to say is shared and concerning.

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago

How are they self-sabotaging?

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago

No, they can't do this.
