      When you have enough money and power to avoid experiencing the vast majority of consequences of your actions, then life does become a game for the vast majority of the time.

      The reluctance of governments to take action against the rich and powerful just feeds their delusions further.

      Yes. And that they have to ‘win’. And that the consequences for other people ‘don’t matter’.

    That wouldn’t even fucking work, lol. You need, at minimum, a proof of address, and even if you spoofed 10 different names and addresses that each corresponded to 10 specific precincts, you’re going to be given a provisional ballot, in which case your vote doesn’t even get counted until it has been independently researched and verified by county workers, which if it succeeds, won’t get counted till a week later.

    God. I fucking hate that these idiots have a non-zero chance of winning.

    She’s just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they’ll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.

      That and creating voter fraud instances so that they can call the whole thing a sham and kick the inevitable case to the SCOTUS, whom will kick it then to the house. I believe this is the plan to get Trump the win.

      This is why I love mail voting.

      1. receive ballot in mail
      2. fill it out
      3. mail it (must pay postage) or drop it off at a ballot box sometime in the 2-weeks before the election

      I have never actually voted in-person, I just don’t have the time for that.

        I’ve voted in person a few times. But I absolutely prefer mail in. I can calmly, quietly, and thoroughly look through the options on the ballot. In person I feel rushed and judged.

        Every part of it is better with mail in ballot.

          Exactly! I do it in front of my computer where I can research candidates and issues. If I went to a polling station, I wouldn’t have the time to do that research. I tend to spend 30 min or more on my ballot, even though I’m pretty sure I can accurately predict the results of the election before even looking at the ballot (in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).

        Here I’d have to insert between step 2 and 3 “get it notarized”, here ballots don’t count if mailed in without a notary.

          That’s really weird. In my state, the only signature that matters is the voter’s, and the voter can track their ballot though every stage of the vote counting process. I forget what it looks like exactly, but I think there’s an option for someone to sign if they’re helping the person fill it out.

          I personally drop mine off at the ballot box because I feel like it’s safer (and I don’t want to pay for a stamp).

          Requiring a notary to sign would probably be considered illegal voter suppression and potentially considered a “poll tax” (because you’d essentially need a bank account to get access to a notary).

            Guessing they would state that if you had no access to a notary, voting in person is still allowed (with a valid state issued photo id)

              Then the counter is that some people can’t reasonably get to a polling station, either due to work schedules, disability, etc, except at significant cost.

            Voting in person has no such restriction. Though now you need a valid state instead 6 photo id…

      Less than 20 minutes on average for me. That is, 20 minutes from leaving home, walking to the nearest voting place, voting, and walking back. Added about 5 minutes or so when part of my work commute.

        That doesn’t even make sense unless he’s locked her up in a basement cage.

        Otherwise she’d come out saying it’s not her.

        If it is a sock puppet then she’s agreeing by not saying anything which means his mom does appreciate his work and approves of this and it’s not a ‘version’ of her.

          Why would she bother? If I said my parents said crazy stuff, my parents probably wouldn’t notice or care. I don’t have a Twitter/X account, nor do I follow it, and the only exposure I get is here. If someone started saying crazy stuff about me, I probably wouldn’t notice, and if I did, probably wouldn’t care enough to correct the record publicly.

                Are you checks noted one of the richest people in the world stirring up shit where it’s almost certainly likely someone would tell them?

                nor would they probably care too much if they did.

                Then they accept it and are complicit.

                  Strong disagree there.

                  And no, I’m not extremely rich or famous, but even if I was, I wouldn’t expect my parents to step in if I started doing stupid stuff, unless that crossed into slander or libel or something.

    Poll workers totally won’t realize the same person voted ten times.

    And it’s totally feasible to register in 10 different places and drive to them all and wait in line 10 times in a single day.

      And definitely not something that will attract government attention when you’re repeatedly registering, no sir.

      For that matter, when I was a poll worker, we had a computerized system, even though we did paper ballots, which noted when someone had already received a ballot regardless of where in the state they received it.

        And to swing most elections they’d have to have dozens or scores of people doing it in a bunch of geographically adjacent districts.
