I hope we can at least agree that the Biden Administration to date has been a disaster, figuratively and literally. That's what matters. The damage is done, and there is underway an effort to eliminate all vestiges of a two-party system. If you can't see it, there is no hope. I do sense many of my Democrat friends are not feeling great about their choice (well, one is still indicating he chose the best of two "shit sandwiches").
>> And so have our election officials.
Secure systems have bulletproof ID, even when there are exchanges by mail or common carrier. That's what supports those systems, without which, they would fail. Secure voting systems can be created; I could design a vote-from-hope system that would be secure in a week or two. But that was not the objective for November.
The objective was ease of cheating. So, signature requirements were eased up on (when signature shouldn't even be part of a secure system until such time as computers can competently decide whether they match, and we are only around 70% at this point). Even that would have been better than giving administrators the freedom to just shut signature matching down, which was effectively done in some locales.
I have never said a secure system can't be designed, or that they didn't exist before Democrats weaponized the virus to ram through these changes last year. Of course, it can. But it wasn't. And it wasn't by design. Had the systems been secure we'd have a different president today, and probably would not have Democrats in both houses.
I don't think there is any point in really arguing this as we're both fixed in our positions. The election was a tragedy for America, however it happened, and the consequences appear to me to be far more devastating than anything I could ever have imagined. We are flatly zeroed in on becoming the diametric opposite of what America was as a result of one stolen election. |
