Can’t put my hands on it now, but several months ago I read that the last one hundred years weather in California was wetter than normal.
Oregon has had vote by mail for over 20 years. Washington went vote by mail in 2004.
Neither state sends out ballots “unsolicited”. Ballots are sent to registered voters. In Washington, voters must sign the envelope so the signature is checked against what is on file.
I have not seen any conclusive evidence mail in voting is more subject to fraud than walk in. In 2018, 142 faudulent votes out of 3.2 million ballots cast in Washington. History has shown walk in voting has it own problems and fraud.
The real problem is states that don’t have vote by mail will have a logisitical nightmare receiving, counting and validating results in a timely basis. This is from an interview with Kim Wyman, Washington Sec of State.
“WYMAN: Well, you know, when you look at the states that have moved to vote-by-mail or are moving currently to vote-by-mail, it’s taken them, you know, five to 10 years to do that because you need to build in the capacity for the volume. You need to have high-speed ballot sorters and envelope sorters to deal with the incoming mail. And right now the question is, is that equipment even in the supply chain? Is it even available? You also need to build up the staffing and the space requirements, especially in COVID-19, to be able to have that machinery to have that production.
So I think that it’s a heavy lift for states that are in low percentage of absentee ballots currently, like, you know – like Tennessee, where you see 2% of their ballots cast by mail. They could probably have an expansion of absentee voting, but they couldn’t make the switch completely to vote-by-mail between now and November.”
It would not surprise me if this election is decided in the House.
Torbett, who is White, is a spiritual seeker and “racial podcaster” committed to “helping other White people recognize their own trauma and discontent as catalysts for the dismantling of systems of oppression that are killing us all, and killing Black and Brown people first.”
WTF does that mean? Who comes up with this sheet? I get an image of a roomful of white people, dutifully shaking their heads in agreement before asking, “Rev. Jones, is ok to drink the koolaid now?”
“Strzok told The Atlantic magazine that the dossier, written by former British spy Christopher Steele – one of the agency’s key informants in the Russia probe – “was very typical of information that the FBI often receives.”
And there it is. The Atlantic. Again. Won’t be long and The Atlantic will headline Elvis sitings and space aliens living at Area 51.
Portland area is experiencing 40-50 mph winds and AQI of 120-160 depending on where you are. Started at 5 PM, expected to last until 5 PM today.
I was playing golf when the storm moved in. Air quality went from 40s to over 100 in about 20 minutes. This one is nasty….my garage smells like an ashtray.
Interesting. The link doesn’t work, but you can find the article by searching for Irish News+John Cleese.
Assuming the poll is accurate, it is another data point proving 60 years of social engineering has failed.
[quote quote=2281]Watching the Portland mayor’s presser today, did anyone else flash back to General Honorè? No attempt to explain why the violence and death is occurring in cities run by democrats? No attempt to identify his failings for the last 400 days? {Journalist Andy Ngo was assaulted by ANTIFA thugs in June 2019} No suggestion as to why he won’t change course? Who buys his stay the course bs? And screw the police chief. He’s now got blood on his hands too. He and his department have been totally ineffective within the context of the Wheeler debacle. At least the Seattle chief had the integrity to resign when she realized she couldn’t succeed; protect citizens and property, with the rules of engagement, diminished funding implemented by the city politicians.[/quote]
Ted Wheeler heads the Portland Police Bureau. Portland had a good police chief in Danielle Outlaw, but she quickly tired of Wheeler’s BS and got the hell out of Portland, advancing her career at the same time. The chief’s job is determined by Wheeler, so I am not sure your meaning of “blood on his hands”. IMO, he should quit. Don’t know why anyone would want to CoP in this bureaucratic shithole.
Seattle’s chef quit when City Council cut her salary 40%. Said it felt like a personal attack .
My take is Under Armour found them selves in a bad contract with UCLA. UA was paying almost $20M/year for what?
Under Armour lawyers roll the dice, figuring their exposure is limited to the contract value. IMHO
Try to have this conversation – how many of officer involved shootings (or deaths) occurred when the victim (gawd, we don’t dare call them criminals!) were not following instructions from police?
