2022 Midterms thread

So when the election is over we don't have to wait and wait and wait. It's ridiculous. Send the ballots in earlier and start counting them once they are received. It shouldn't be that difficult to do.

These are the checks in place to ensure mail ballots are cou nted accurately and not part of fraud. While I would be okay if mail in ballotin g finished earlier I don't think it would negate the problem of timeliness. We still have issues with in person counting for various reasons and then there are legalities of denying people access to voting if they were planning to vote in person but in the last two weeks there is something that prevents them, (jury duty for example). I get it though it is annoying.

I'm not against the checks, in-fact I fully support them. But to me, that's all the more reason to send in your mail-in ballots early. I also think election "day" should be Saturday - Tuesday.

So for the mid-terms for 2022 as an example:

- Mail-in ballots need to be post-marked by 10/25/2022
- In person voting held 11/5/2022 - 11/8/2022

Even if you can't count all of the mail-in ballots prior to the election, you would still be able to know exactly how many you have and allocate your resources/structure how the votes will be counted once you are able to count them.

Since it's mostly seniors that vote early if one candidate takes a lead others might think why bother? Nope! Still believe election day should be a National Day off .

Florida begins counting early. They don't know the results until polls close on election day. Not sure what their process is just saying you can count early without people knowing what the results are (Imagine the machine has a system of counting but not showing the results until certain date time group).

Maryland they count early too.

What is the rush to know who wins the seats in November? Does it change anything? Serious question. If we knew a week ago the result of every seat would it matter other than for us to say haha we won?

Recession yall!

I don’t want to hear any complaints.the democrat economic policies lead us to it. Nothing to do with anything else, no excuses…they have control


I love how simple you think the world economy is. Lol. Nothing to do with anything else. Hahaha.

This recession started in February of 2020. We don’t feel a recession when it starts. It doesn’t work that way. Not even for your talking points Chico. Do your homework before you post. The last 5 recessions all started under Republican administrations.

To quote Forrest Gump(almost), "simple is as simple does"!

Second, the national debt (adjusted for inflation) increased more rapidly under the past four Republican administrations — at an average annual rate of 10.2 percent during the Reagan administration, 8.2 percent and 5.9 percent during the two Bush administrations, and 6.8 percent during the Trump administration — compared with only 1.6 percent and 4.6 percent during the Clinton and Obama administrations, respectively.
If those four Republican administrations had been as fiscally responsible as their Democratic counterparts, the national debt would be about 70 percent lower than it is, increasing from 31 percent of gross national product in 1981 to 37 percent today — rather than the actual 123 percent for fiscal 2021. For Republicans to oppose raising the debt ceiling, and to frame this hostage-taking as a commitment to fiscal restraint, is the height of hypocrisy when their administrations have been in charge during most of the debt increase of the past 40 years.

Those are facts. But please go on about how Biden could have just waved his magic wand. Lol

Call me old fashioned, but I come from a land where election day use to mean something.

Also, it definitely creates more doubt about the elections for lots of people. When it takes weeks to figure out, there will be more people that will think something fishy is going on than if results came in right away.

Why can't people send in their ballots 2 weeks before? Is 14 days a huge difference? The elections are every 2 years. I don't think it's asking too much for people that don't want to vote in person to request and send in their ballots 2 weeks early. If there was a deadline, people would meet that deadline if they really cared about voting.
