Thanks for the discussion....I meant that! No hard feelings. We agree to disagree. I still can't believe this election was as close as it was. Friggin' unbelievable. Night! :-)

You are like a fellow who decides that because Mars and Earth are both planets revolving around the sun, they must both have oceans and continents, plants and animals, and people in cities and farms. Someone comes along and points out that the cases are different in detail: Mars is larger and further away from the sun, it has a much thinner atmosphere and little moisture, and therefore has no obvious life or civilization. Instead of saying "Oh, I guess I didn't take into account the differences", you start calling the person a liar, because it has to be the case that they are virtually the same, since they are both planets revolving around the sun.........

People might go to jail over this if convicted. If they had not done what they did, the voters would never have gotten their absentee ballots in the mail. This doesn't prove that they would not have voted, however. If you applied for an absentee ballot and didn't get it, what would you do? I apply and get one and often turn it in at the polls and vote a regular ballot. It is just a convenience to have it if plans change. The claim was made by some (DEMS?) that the absentee ballots were abused for the simple sake of convenience, so it is likely they were able to vote in person if they chose.
